Why am I here?

Why am I here? It's a good question really. Why do I look through profiles hoping someone will jump out at me. I have no idea about the sincerity of people on here, all I know is of my own plight. At 42, I feel I may have missed the boat. It may be too late for family, but I refuse to compromise. Why look at a site like this? because I don't want to waste time. I want to cut through the garbage and find something real. Lets see if that is possible.
