I, too, filled out an online dating profile. Not sure why.
If I had to guess a last ditch effort to get a reaction out of your W. "Illusion of Action"
Wanted you are the last person on the board who is ready to date. You have a lot of issues you need to work on before hand. If you don't you will be back on here shortly down the road.

Yes that is why we tell people that there life isn't over and there are plenty of women out there who would want to be with them. Provided of course they do the hard work.

Why do you need women to validate you? Because you don't love and value yourself. That's why you have to get there first. A woman is just the icing on the cake.

That's why you do the work first. Practice talking to strangers, cashiers, waitresses Etc.
To put it bluntly, you have no business being on a dating website and the fact that you are right now speaks volumes my friend.
