Things I've Learned...

[Felix_Jones]

From Online Dating:

1) If a profile has multiple photos, the worst one is the most accurate depiction

2) Average = Fat, A Few Extra Pounds = Morbidly Obese, BBW = Bring a construction crew for removing a wall

3) You will have to go on five dates before meeting a tolerable person

4) Religious people are weird and opinionated, but dating online makes it easy to weed them out

5) Women will invite you to their place for sex on the first meeting, also to do a lame movie assignment for a class

6) Forget chivalry, spend what you want and not a penny more

I'm glad my experiences with online dating were a hell of a lot better than yours.

Not necessarily bad experiences, there was a lot of sex and fine dining.

I like romance so that's what I was looking for and I found it. Sex without romance doesn't appeal to me.

Well it's a good deal for me that there are hordes of women out there who don't share your preference.

I got lucky. There's not many guys out there that think the way I do.

8) If she says she has a thing for stroking cock, make sure 'she' doesn't have a cock that 'she' wants you to stroke too.

9) If she gives you a picture of her, it might not be her. Actually try to get to know the person before asking for pictures.

10) If she tells you that she is really dirty, make sure to ask her if she still showers and brushes her teeth.

11) Kinky can mean a lot of things, including tying you up and dripping hot candle wax on your chest. My poor left nipple.

12) The camera might add ten pounds, but apparently the internet adds fifty.

13) Surprisingly, you can dress for a first date like you dove in your closet and put on anything which stuck to you.

14) There are women out there whose presence is so offensive that it can't be tolerated for more than an hour.

#14 also goes for men and it's only 30 minutes.....
#12 also goes for men and it was at least 100 lbs....

15) If he says he's 6'0", he's really 5'10". If he says he's over 6'0", he's probably telling the truth.

It's like buying a lottery ticket. You know the odds of winning the jackpot are not in your favour, but there are some nice runner up prizes to be had...

[miaction69]

i've never done online dating so i guess i have nothing to share here....
i wouldn't mind a man who just does real sex and not cyper sex
have the majority of men forgotten what the real deal feels like??
i'm scared it's a skill that's going to be lost with technology ouch
i met a guy friday night and he asked me for my mobile, email, and facebook
WTF he didn't even ask me where I lived

Because it's easy. You just meet a massive volume of people, if it works good...mostly it doesn't, but the odds are pretty good just from the sheer numbers

Wanted to point out that I'm religious and I'm not weird and opinionated.

But my husband begs to differ!


p.s. I'll say I'm BBW if you bring the construction crew!

Well then, that means I won't find you on a dating site. I think my theories still hold.

Because meeting women is about circumstances, and "circumstances" isn't something you don't always get to control.

In the past 400 days I've started at a new job, a new choir, and a new job that is a choir (ah, church music). I'm also involved in things at my alma mater. Through these new outlets I have met about 120 new people in the past 400 days. That's a decent pool, so now we begin to apply filters.

1) Gender. I am a heterosexual man. (Which is too bad, because there are a fair number of gay men in the choir, but, well, it is what it is.) Boom, down to 60.
2) Age Range. Even assuming I am willing to date any woman within 7 years of my age--which I am not, it's more like 4--that reduces the pool to exactly 15 women. I counted. (It didn't take long.)
3) Pre-existing attachments. Of those 15 women, a mere 2 are single.
4) Personal Compatibility. I have deal-breakers--not many, but they do exist. My major turn-offs are fervent Christianity, too much mind-altering-substance use, overuse of body modification and larger women (mostly because I personally am made out of fence posts. A weight cap is necessary if I intend to make it through a relationship without being snapped like a twig). Well, of the two remaining candidates, one is mad for 420 and the other for Jesus. Even then I still asked her out. She turned me down.

And that's how I started two new jobs, a choir and hang out at college and still can't meet anyone, despite having applied only very basic filters to the candidate pool.

So, where does that leave me? Either I can be lonely and single for the rest of my days (five of my aunts chose that), or I can try alternative methods. Which is Internet dating. It's not the greatest; in fact it's pretty much crap. But it's better than nothing.
