I've come to the conclusion that those who want to "score" or whatever will do whatever they have to do, say whatever they have to say and pretend to be whatever they have to pretend to be. It used to bug me because that meant that I have to be that much more serious, sincere and believable in everything I do. It meant that I had to jump through even more hoops because my brethren made it practically impossible for any normal woman to believe that I might be real. Now, I don't care anymore. I gave up. I can't change these guys. Lord knows, I tried. But the only ones who listen are the ones who are serious in the first place and wouldn't do that sort of thing. We've been outnumbered and screamed out of existence by these people. I figure the only way anyone is really going to come to believe I'm who and what I believe is by actually being a consistent reader of what I have to write. I can't see any other way to make myself known or any more believable because people will say whatever they can to be believed. And even that is harder these days because the ones we want to attract don't do the work of going through the message boards and conversing for a long time. Instead, they also want to find what they desire to find immediately, so I'm pretty much having to compete with people who know how to say what needs to be said to get immediate reactions. Even in message threads I've noticed this because I'll communicate in a thread and get completely ignored while the "bad boy" gets all sorts of attention, and next thing you know people like me get drowned out by the constant chatter of the bad boy commentary. I don't even tell people I'm sincere anymore. I think it's on my profile, but only because I made that profile a LONG time ago, back when saying you were sincere was a way to distinguish you from those who were saying all sorts of crap. Now, they've done the smart thing and read the profiles of the people who probably are sincere, and they've emulated that because they realize that might give them yet another step up. And Darwin begone, the women tend to respond to them, so what can I say? I gave up.
