Internet dating

I'm sure like 1% of the people online are really awesome. But in order to find one I'd have to go through ninety nine guys like this:
1. The man-slut. These guys seem nice and normal before you meet them. They even may state in their profile that they are looking for a nice girl, an LTR even. ( which actually doesn't mean something dirty, I had to look it up) They even want to meet in a public place usually. Then after they have determined that you meet their discerning criteria- you are not a man, or fat, they ask if the next time you meet if you will have sex with them. If you don't say yes and seem really enthusiastic about it then they will refuse to hang out with you. I mean I get that for some guys that is all they really want but they should at least pretend to try, at least pretend they remember your name. In the good old days they had to buy you dinner before. Now they think they can just sidestep that step by being perfectly uncharming. Uh, I don't think so!
2. The flake. These guys are really excited if you email them. They email/ text a lot and seem really excited about meeting you. They may even set up a time and date themselves. But they always cancel, something always comes up. There's always a good reason why today is not a good day, but they promise tomorrow will be better. They repeat over and over how much they really want to meet though and I think a part of them does. I feel sorry for these guys because they probably have no idea they even do it. I wonder if they have ever even had the commitment to go on a date let alone form a relationship and they will probably wonder their whole lives why they never meet anyone.
3. Looking for Ms Perfect. These guys are the opposite of the mansluts but they are just as dangerous and common. For these guys no girl is ever good enough. No girl except the girl that exists only in their fantasies as they haven't figured out yet that life isn't a fantasy. The girls they want don't exist and if they did they wouldn't deserve them. They pass themselves off as being "picky." Despite the fact that most of them themselves possess none of these qualities they will carry around a list a quarter mile long filled with all that their dream girl will possess. I am not conceited by any means I just have self esteem and I happen to believe that I do possess many of these qualities- I think and have been told by a lot of people that I am funny, I am pretty, I'm definitely self motivated and follow my goals in life. I'm very loyal to my friends. I try hard to get these guys, who appear to have the personalities of cardboard boxes upon first meeting, to talk, reveal any part of themselves that would give me hope there is actually a human being in there. But I think- hey maybe he's just shy, maybe he's really great when you get to know him. Well too bad I will never get that opportunity because I am not good enough for Mr Perfect seeker. Mr Perfect seeker knows that there is a perfect girl out there for him, probably only one in the entire world that he will find on POF or OKcupid and he will just look at her and know she is his soul mate without ever having to get to know her. I think that if such a girl really did exist she could do way better than him.
On the plus side- what did I get out of online dating? A free coffee, a free bowling, and a free burrito! Almost worth it! I'm not a quitter but I think that I would be more likely to find a decent guy walking around the park, or Antarctica.
