So I am starting to believe they are a myth! I have been on dating sites and most women have dogs or don't like cats. WTH? where are all the single cat ladies that I always heard so much about? I'm a single cat guy so it's obvious that a single cat lady is my match. haha

Instead of finding a woman who likes cats, I'm just going to get a female cat. At least I'm not terrified to approach a cat.

Well it sounds like your determined to make it work. You have done really well so far i can only hope to be here next year writing about all my weight loss. LOL

Is there? I can't seem to find them on Facebook.

newly single as well. my divorce was finalized last month. I'm not looking for a committed relationship, just someone to talk to and hang out with. I would love something simple as a coffee date at a coffee shop, or just to have a drink. I've been out the dating game for over 7 years so I feel a bit awkward about dating lol. I'll get my bearings in due time lol.

Henderson, NV

I think finding another sleever or someone who has had weight loss surgery in general would be great. I haven't though. I am really open about me having it done and nearly everyone has been supportive which is great.

Yes single. Flirting is fun now that I understand who is flirting, that took a while.

Anyone using that website? I've heard there is very few men! I'm 21, Female, single, in SoCal. I had my VSG Nov of 2014. Down 126lbs so far, pushing for a little more! I'm up for a chat, getting to know people from anywhere! DM me! I also have a VSG Instagram. It's Kelsey.VSG20! Follow me, I'll follow back! ❤️

@@OKCPirate thank you, I am going to check that out. I really don't know what to say.

Maybe try a different approach.. maybe a cheeky comment or something funny... in a pool full of fish. .. sometimes one needs to try something to stand out from the crowd... update your profile to let your true personality shine.
Imagine how boring it is look through 50 profiles that say...
"Hi, im bob... i like dogs and long walks on the beach..."
If it said something like.. "hi, im bob... and i can do somersaults whilst holding my breath under Water whilst juggling" that would more likely get my interest to read further
Work with your strengths... make a personal list to yourself writing down your strengths and weaknesses.... then choose a few key ones to update your profile.
As they say... if you keep doing what you usually do.. you will continue to get the same results
Let's give it a go....
Write me a short synopsis of your personality to try and get my interest.... I'm sure all us women are willing to give you constructive criticism or advice (and for the meanies out there... i mean constructive NOT mean)

@@MissB1982 I understand what you are saying, I guess I just felt like maybe I should see what other women could offer outside my type but that hasn't even had any success. I've kinda left the whole dating site thing alone for now.

@@Daveo, why are you sending out requests to women that aren't your type? If they aren't your type, do you really want a response from those type of women? Probably not. I'm about to be 34 and never been married, in women years I think that's considered old by society to not ever have been married lol . But my advice to you is do not ever settle. So what that youre 40 or almost forty,( sorry I can't remember what age you said ) but never get too anxious where you settle for someone just to try to ease loneliness because trust me it's nothing worse than having someone and you can't stand being around them lol. She will come along, but make sure "she" is the real thing, not a fake substitute to get over your feelings of loneliness and getting older. I'm not being harsh, I promise I'm saying this out of love, I've just been there before and it's not fun. I'd rather wait or be single forever than be with the wrong one .

What do you say in your messages? What dating site? I was where you are at 40 too and then met my BF a year later and we've been together going on 7 years.

@@KristenLe I am on the free sites too but there are a lot of weirdo's on there!

I have put my dating life on hold since having the surgery. I just don't feel comfortable dating while going through this transition. Once I am at goal then I will get out there. I have created online dating profiles yet I don't actively try to find someone.

1, kung fu movies rock!
2. you gotta do that so that people can understand you, loud speak is universal language
3. cults are awesome! you got lots of friends and it's a special club.
sorry I had to..those stories are horrible! All these stories are giving me tips on what not to do. haha

I watched the last episode and it bummed be out because the dude found a woman online and is happy and getting married to her yet I'm still freaking single. lol But yeah the update on them is great

This thread has been very therapeutic for me since I am trying to get over a similar situation. Sorry to hear he is such an arse

see love doesn't need a time frame to know it's true.

Last night was a followup to Chastity and Angel. Chastity's daughter was getting bigger as her Mother was getting smaller. At one point the daughter was bigger than the Mother. Toward the end of the show Dr Now asked about the daughters weight and suggested that maybe Mother and daughter work together to lose weight and see a therapist together. They did see a therapist, grocery shop, plan meals and walk together and the daughter did start to lose weight too. However I wished he had mentioned it the previous year and maybe her daughter could have been losing all along with her Mother.
I really felt bad for Chastity as even after having lost over 300 pounds from her 778 pound body and having skin removal she was still suffering with all the skin infections and had to be in and out of the hospital. The show ended with her having lost 440 pounds in 2 years and getting down to 338. She still has a long way to go and I hope she gets there without any more infections. Those infections really looked bad.
After starting off badly with the whole feeding tube situation Angel's followup was fantastic. She went from 570 down to 170 in 2 years. She had her knee surgery and skin removal and began to work again and was able to restore her relationship with her husband. I hope to be as successful as she was.

Thanks for sharing, it does give me some tips on what I should put on mine!

Yes, we had talked a long time online -- had exchanged at least 60 really intense emails. To be very clear, we were writing buddies, not online sex buddies. I will admit our first date was 4 days long. And yes, he really did propose -- with a ring -- on our second date.
The truth is we were just wildly, amazingly lucky. And that's the part I hope people won't discount: Sometimes we human Beans just get wildly, amazingly lucky!
