None of these men are what I would say are truly serious prospects. The BUZZER ringers are definitely not on my short list!
Didn't really know how difficult Gay Male Dating is until I just wrote down the prospects from the last little while. So, I am approaching the remain prospects cautiously.
Do you blame me?

Caution is pretty much a given.
As disappointed as you might be that so many of them get the buzzer, the fact that you started with so many prospects and still have some with potential is a very good thing. It seems to me that successful dating is a numbers game. Because you're putting the numbers up, it's only going to be a matter of time before you click with someone really great.
Always Disappointed?? That's a pretty bad attitude to have. It only takes one guy, so even "usually" disappointed will eventually result in a good outcome for you.
