I just couldn't possibly put myself back on those dating sites because I was pretty sure I would be counted among the terminal on-line daters, that are here too in L.A., the same people that were on-line two years ago when I broke up with my long term ex and more recently with my six month gf. I even remember just a few nights ago trolling through some CL ads and muttering to myself, "No shit, you're still here....damn girl you have some real tenacity".Well it's all the way to the end of February and hopefully in the last five months you've broken the cycle. Thanks for a good rant.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6048','Belle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6048','Belle','Well Al you did certainly make me laugh by telling the truth as I live it.I hadn\'t actually thought it through as far as you had, but the menses analogy certainly seems accurate to me.

We as humans have the option of making choices if we want to fight those natural urges. At my age, I'm looking for hot sex sure, but I know that as my body slows down my need for amiable companionship is going to be greater. I've had a lot of great sex and not so much on the companionship. Here's to your search--and mine.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5498','al the lwl'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5498','al the lwl','I dunno G2G - I think that we have a natural inclination to have a tribe - mate, kids, etc. It\'s in our DNA.

I too wonder why things don't seem to work out once the honeymoon stage is over. I mean I am a realistic woman, I try to stay focused and grounded when I meet someone new, yet still once reality kicks in I rarely find that my partner and I are as compatible as I once thought, or hoped. And I agree that looking at some of the online dating sites and seeing the same faces year after year makes it all the more depressing. I just keep hoping that this is the process we all must go through to find "the one," whatever that means. But I guess in a way we are all addicted to love, because we keep doing it over and over in hopes that somehow we will get it right...isn't that the definition of insanity?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5493','Girl2grl'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5493','Girl2grl','Well it is nice to know I am not alone in this whole relationship perdacament.
