Well I Skype chatted a few times with a guy from here. Though he seems to have dissapered on me. This is working wonders on my self esteem lol
Don't worry
CopyX 
, when you are young, long as you are standing in the right place at the right time,
YOU WILL meet many-many-many men. When you are young, men are like buses, if a connection goes wrong with one, another will be along in a few minutes. Since I was a teenager in the dinosaur age (where gay men had to answer personal ads in magazines and newspapers and had to take time to write more than halfway decent letters and exchange photos to try to meet, as an alternative to the bar, nightclub, bathhouse, cruising scene), I would say that men were more sincere and genuine back then (i.e. back in the 70's, 80's, 90's). Yet since the internet became popular back in the early/mid 90's, then (IMO) the internet started attacting flaky flaky flaky people.

From my experiences of meeting guys online, I will say, just from my own personal experiences, basically you can not depend on 99 9/10th% of the people (for anything) when it comes to internet meeting. I met and made friends with some terrific guys over the years (of all ages), since I first logged onto the internet in 1998, but every one of those internet friends are gone except for 2 that I have keep in constant contact with over the years. In my case, I have found that I only have luck with guys older than me . . . the younger generations are not interested in staying in contact with an
Old Fart 
like me. I no longer seek or make internet friends with gay men younger than me . . . since "to me" the younger generations do not value friendships and people or care about people like they did when I came along in the 60's. It seems that many people of the younger generation think of people, friendships, relationships are very disposable (for whatever reason) . . . and they seem to be thrilled by the fact that they can "maybe" meet someone new and more exciting than the last guy they just dumped. Yet I'm grateful and glad that I met 2 older men that like me and want to maintain a close and ongoing friendship with me. In November, I will have been in contact with one of my first Internet friends for 14 years . . . and there was never a month in all of that time, that we did not both share one good email letter with each other.
Okay now with that being said CopyX . . . when you hit 30 and 40, if you are still single, men will not be plentiful . . . unless you are drop dead gorgeous or if you are filthy rich. Because in the gay community, once you hit 30, then you slowly start turning into an unwanted and unloved dinosaur . . . aka "The Crypt Keeper" (like me,
LOL!!! 
). Once you hit 30 and get older, there will
ALWAYS be men that will want you and you will be able to still make great connections for friendship or sex or relationships . . .
BUT it will usually take a little longer to find men to connect with . . . often I have found that the older you are, the longer it will take to meet a suitable person, especially when you are over 40 when it comes to sex and relationships . . . yet making friendships seems to be somewhat easy, no matter what your age.
Yet your post (above) reminds me of back in the day, when chat rooms were very popular in the late 90's. I went into one chat room one day (back in 1999 I think), and some guy started talking with me. We chatted for about 20 minutes (which I thought was a very nice and good chat), then he just up and left the room . . . he did not even say goodbye or nice chatting with you or kiss my ass . . . nothing, nada. I was
DEVASTATED, when that little messaged popped-up and said that "X" has left the room.
GASP!!! 


At that point, I knew that chat rooms and instant messaging were not for me. I
HATE typing on demand. I did try a few more chat room over the years, but mainly I just sat there looking at other people converse. Yet if some guy talked to me, then I would make it quick, short, and simple and get rid of him. Yet overall, I did not like communicating in chat rooms. So I gave them up for good about 5 years ago. One thing that I love about these online groups, is that I can put my 2 cents in at my leisure (on any day at any time 24/7). I don't have to type on demand.
WHEW!!! I have never been interested in the web cam or Skype thing, because I don't want to have to get dressed up to make myself look presentable to talk to people. "
No thanks!" When I'm not working, I love to just sitting around the house looking like a bum and looking very unkempt and just being comfortable. So there is just no way, I'm dressing up to chat online. I'll leave that part of technology to you young folks.
LOL!!!
