Looking for Mr. or Miss "Right"

The Search Is On For A Perfect Male Specimen

I started to rapidly scan through male personal ads with their pertinent requests for female replies, eventually slowing down to go back and cautiously study each one. No matter how many I read through, they all appeared to revolve around one basic theme of perfection. Each inviting and hypnotic male were searching for romance. Each confessed they obtained brilliant careers and had wealth, were healthy and handsome, all in an attempt to beguile equally ravishing females to respond to an opportunity to soar among the clouds.

Fortunately I have a pessimistic nature and questioned if there was such a thing as a perfect male specimen, every women's dream mate. Inform me why these perfect specimens of flesh haven't been captured already by a much appreciative female and rescued from floundering around in the whirlpool of internet dating services? If they finally reached a mature plateau and are searching for a serious, long term, romantic interest, then why do they request only attractive sexy females, with a great size five shape reply? Why don't they request mature females who seek honest companionship, an opportunity to develop further into something more profound?

Unfortunately I already understand why, because of bitterly learned personal experience. A failed marriage initiated my first dog paddle swim through the dating pool. After another vile encounter with a male love interest that at first was a dream come true, lasting for over two perfect years before it dramatically involving into an epic nightmare disaster, I felt drained of all emotions.

Of course I surrendered my heart and bared my soul to him, believing and trusting him with my life, because he informed me, "You know men can be really dogs but you're lucky because you found a real gem in the bunch." He was partly correct because he truly was a gem before he reverted back into one of the wildest mangiest dogs around these parts, sniffing out every female in sight and using them and discarding them like chewed up bones.

I discarded him out of my life when I found out about his games and then grieved for awhile, feeling sorry for myself. I took a long break from dating to concentrate on myself.

Now I decided to place another personal ad for a possible mate in the whirlpool, partly for research reasons and partly still dreaming of the impossible dream, believing there's someone out there who could fill my special order.
