E- your musings are helpful. And we all know hindsight vision is 20/20. The baby shower I just went to…… she and her husband met online. They are a fantastic couple. She just such a sweet good person and so is he. They have lots of love for eachother. OLD does work for people. It just hasn’t worked for me in the way I would like it to work.
I am joined to a singles group for my state. Lots of couples came out of it and they often do meetups. Most of them are sort of farther from where I live, and one day I will pull the trigger and go to one of them. In the past I have met a guy at the group fitness classes I went to. Others through friends. Everyone says they have their eye peeled for me. I know I do better organically. The opportunity is rarely there.

I find this rating system 6.7/10 or what have you on this attractiveness scale T speaks of. I looked it up. I consider myself a 5/10 as this scale says 5 is average for looks. That’s me. So maybe that’s my problem? Men want a 7/10 ? Who knows .
