I guess I would consider myself average in the looks department, and looks are not as important to me as what's on the inside of the person I am looking to date.

Unfortunately, every time I have tried to date online these are the usual responses:

I have a partner, but...

I'm not looking for a long term relationship, but maybe we could...

Do you have any pics with less clothes on? Or they will send a picture taken just last week of them having sex with someone they "hooked up" with on the same site.

They will ask you if your pictures are recent and then he will send you a picture of himself taken in 1988 when he was 25 years younger and 75 lbs. lighter and swear it was taken just a few weeks ago. This has happened on a number of occasions.

They will ask you for a picture and then you never hear from them again only to be sent a picture of yourself from a person with a different screen name you are interested in.

I gave up on online dating because it's more stressful than just looking for someone to go out with on my own.
