Met my now ex wife on one. I can't say it worked out well but the first 5-6 years of marriage were successful.
Couple years after that train wreck I went on another date after talking to her for a few weeks. I think she was a few bananas short of a bunch when we met on that date.
Then I met my current fiancée on another site.
She was on the verge of giving up looking for love as a few nobbers had let her down. Then I introduced myself to her.
I didn't have a job. I didn't have a car. Didn't own my own home. I was in the middle of a war with the ex to see more of my children. I was suffering with depression, anxiety, anger issues, unstable diabetes and so on and so on. I had no real goals in life and wasn't going anywhere. In short, I was a failure as a human being. That's how I felt anyway. Other than winning custody of my girls, f all has changed but I've been engaged for nearly 3 years and she and I get along wonderfully.
She lives 12 miles away and up until I gained my children I would ride to hers during the week to see her. She now drives up at the weekend to spend time with me and that's as far as it'll go for the time being. We're doing ok despite not being able to see each other apart from sat to mon.
Tall, dark, handsome and successful might be the dream of some women (and men probably) but there are lots out there who will look beyond all the material bullsh1t and decide that theres more to life than good looks and a fat wallet.
Be honest in you profile description but be humorous about it. I made a point in my own description that any future Mrs McFadden might have to change her name again if my leg was amputated through diabetes...I intended on changing my name to Hop-Along-Cassidy by depol and that if we went to a pub and I was the only non drinker there I would still technically be legless.
