thanks for the interesting anecdotes from dating websites. I've been having a look at some sites - looks like a lot of desperate ugly people - I should fit right in! :woot:

What happens if you set up a date and the person looks or acts nothing like what they said in their profile when you meet them in person? Just walk out on them?

also every woman describes themselves as 'bubbly'... wtf?

I recomend that you never walk out, you can never have too many friends, just state how you feel, and keep it casual she'll probably invite you with all of her friends next time and you might hit it off with one of them. Happened to me a couple of times. I always tried to keep the relationship casual anyways. That way you don't give her any unsuspecting ambitions, and women usually like to have alot of friends. I think the best way to meet somebody though is doing what you like. Cooking class, surfing, church, any hobby or social gathering, bars aren't always the best. I meet my current wife at church, and the girl before that skating on the boardwalk, wasn't looking in either case, they just saw a guy doing what he loves to do, women look for passion in life. I think.

I've tried www.plentyoffish.com with some pretty good success. It is the world's largest dating site and it is completely free. (Free to send emails and receive them) The guy who created the website doesn't believe in charging money for his services. The downside of this site is that since it is free it is harder to stand out from the crowd.

Another free site would be www.mingle2.com. It is not as good as POF but decent.

I dated like 6 women from matching sites. 5 looked way worse than their pictures, and some lied about everything else. Only 1 told the truth, and lost interest after asking what I do for a living. I had not stated that on my profile, and she wanted to know. She was clearing in a different financial class than me, so it made sense.

Honesty is your best approach on these sites. If you over sell yourself, all your perfect matches will be afraid to approach, and the ones you get first dates with will learn the truth when they meet you. My ad would look like:

I'm financially unestablished, taking a break from college, work full time, have a dependable vehicle, love hiking and movies, don't smoke, drink rarely, seeking a girlfriend who is a close match, likes my picture, and has common interests. Click yes to learn more.
Cool, that is less than 250 characters.
Then I'd put my kewords:
not religious, non-smoking, road trips, museums, exercising, health, hiking, movies, sunsets, politics, learning

Then I'd put up some accurate, recent pictures, some with a red face, some with a clear face, some full body, and the one with my shirt off.

Pay $18 for a 3 month membership so I'm shown ahead of non-paying guys, and then click on lots of pictures

Or I could post a picture of a penis with a ruler up against it that reads: 8 inches.

Then in the text section say, " 'nough said. Send in your applications, and don't act like your not impressed."

[quote="Quantum Cat":1lc5njay]I'm wondering if I should join a dating site. Anybody here tried that?
I did. About five or six years ago I tried match dot com, and I really had a lot of fun with it. I didn't generate any "girlfriends" for me, but I met a lot of nice people, and ended up being friends with a few of them and still talk to them to this day.

The experience was kind of like a dating buffet... you really didn't know exactly what you were going to get until you met them in person. So, there were, of course, some dissapointments but other times I met some real gems. It was kind of fun, like a game, after a while you get a feel for people who are "pumping themselves up" and those who are being honest with their words and with their pictures. But, no matter how the situation turned out, I always tried to just enjoy the date for what it was, and for the most part I usually had a really good time. If I was dissapointed in my date, I'd just do my best to have a good time, make sure she was having a good time, and just considered the conversation as "practice" for someone I might have more affinity for.

Hehehe... I remember the WORST of my match dot com dates. This girl was articulate, athletic, and pretty darned hot. I got excited when she replied to my feeler and wanted to talk. About 5'7", blonde, beach-girl from Orange County... she had quite the body, like a beach volleyball player... and, my god, this girl had an ***. No, not an ***, she had an azzz. Things were FINE until we went on our first date, and she started talking about her political leanings... specifically, she was a hard core right wing ultra-conservative. And I'm not talking a garden variety conservative, this chick was off the scale, a freaking fascist. It all started with her making a really devastating racist quip about muslims... and she just blurted it out like it was no big deal. She basically saw the world as a big ethnic war and everyone wants to kill us... so the more of them we kill now, the better. She then began railing against Mexicans, and Asians, complaining that her sister's beauty shop was put out of business because of competition from a Chinese-run storefront shop up the street. I posed the possibility that maybe her sister's fate is due to her being an idiot who doesn't know how to run a freaking business, and the date came to a swift and crashing end. Quite funny... the experience was well worth the story, a relationship that ended from a fight, on the FIRST date... lol. I wonder where that girl is now... probably posing in front of a mirror with an arm band on at a trailer park, rocking the latest "Prussian Blue" CD.[/quote:1lc5njay]

ultra conservative blond that "sees the world as an ethic war and wants them all killed"........ you dated this chick?

You fine folks do realize people like Ann Coulter and Bill are simply entertainers don't you?

Just stoking flames and controversy to get ratings....

Its just the business of irritating & shocking people. The political Howard Stern..."Oh my...did you hear what he/she said?!?!?!...I'M OUTRAGED!"

I think VD is a load of hype to sell cards and gifts. I got my gf her card and gift from the pound shop (its the thought that counts :innocent: ).

Dating websites can be good but the women will usually go for looks and if you ain't good looking then the hot girls will just ignore your emails and thats why its probably best to meet them in person. I agree that if u don't put too much emthasis on meeting girls then u won't put too much pressure on yourself and the girls will feel more comfortable being around you :hump:

Yes, I know it. I do that myself sometimes!! :woot:

Seriously though, I think the vast majority of people want everyone to be happy and live long and prosper. We just have different opinions on how to get there IMHO.

Sounds like Gardener's "almost" girlfriend was wacked out if she felt all groups other than caucasians with European ancestry are evil.

That's even too wacked out for Old Baldy!! :)

When I told someone I wasn't doing anything for Valentines day, they told me to just 'have fun and let your hair down'...

:sobbing: :doh:
