What is wrong with gentlemen that have been single a long time? Do you mean they have never been married or have not remarried for a long time?
Would you rather they be looking for their 5th wife instead? Not too sure what you are trying to point out. Maybe they have not found the right person and don't want to settle.
Good luck anyway.

I've been on Match as a non-paying member on and off for years. I've met some nice people through there...no one I got serious with, but no bad experiences.
I was surprised at the number of men in their 30s and 40s that claim to have never been married though...I don't seem to meet many of those offline, but online there appears to be a lot more than one would imagine.
Being single a long time, most of us will get 'set in our ways'...however relationships are about flexibility and compromise (among other things) so being rigidly "set" may be the reason some people are single and stay that way...

Im on Match... Ive had some luck there, went on a few dates, but havnt found anyone special yet.... Now days I just go on there when i get an email from someone... Usually its someone in the next state over... Kinda sucks. Women dont seem to be pursuing on those sites.
Also they dont let me upload new pics for some reason... Everytime i try, they say its inappropriate.. even if its a picture of me standing by a wall... So the most recent pic I have on there is from 2 years ago....

My experience with match.com are ladies have unreal expectations. They write lists of characteristics in their profile that no one can actually live up to but don't have the decency to be even half of what they are looking for.
I think the difficulty from a mans side is that women get flooded with contacts. They can pick and choose based on a picture and they don't actually take the time to learn which guys are worth while. Then they start complaining about how there aren't any good guys online and they give up.

I never had luck with match.com (doesn't mean you won't). Eharmony worked for me though.
The one piece of advice I can give you though is don't spend too long chatting through IM or Email, or talking on the phone. It's better to meet the person (in a safe place and not at one of your houses) as soon as you can. I found that in talking to much on the phone I ended up building the girl up so much in my mind that when I met her I wanted it to work so badly that I would ignore the fact that we had no chemistry when we were together. It's better to be as objective as you can on the first meeting.
Good luck.

What is wrong with Internet dating? I made a few friends that way (Obviously nothing serious came of it, but it doesn't always work out when you meet people in the traditional way either.).
And what is wrong with being single? It doesn't mean that they are freaks simply because they refuse to be serial daters. Maybe that is a good sign.

Most men I have met through any online personals seem to be looking for someone to take care of them. They want to get married or move in right away. Most don't have a decent job, many don't even own a car. One wanted to know how close I live to a train station, before we even met. Yeah, right. I'm really interested in you. :)
I hope you have better luck than I have.
