Online Dating, whats your experience?

Remember, the ABC rule of sales also kinda of applies to dating too. So don't come start a thread two months from now saying you've been going out with the girl who was looking for a 5'10" guy all this time and you've had some fierce hand holding sessions but still no second base yet.

Knee highs aren't CFM boots...over the knee boots are. And the reason is obvious - to be able to tell they are that high means the girl has to be wearing a tiny little skirt that barely covers her ass. IOW their whole slutty little outfit is beckoning CFM!

E, like ANYTHING in the KS promotes BARF's primary purpose? :laughing

The Sink furthers BARF's primary goal by being the centralized depository of all the off topic droppings. Imagine what General would be like if all this political crap was scattered every where else. Hell, even the Sink needs a further specialized thread to contain the completely random chit chat!
 
I tried eHarmony a few years ago...it was kind of lame and I ended up cheating the system then quitting altogether. If you want to meet cool people, try Events and Adventures. I was a member in Dallas and met some really cool people. At minimum, you'll make new friends. Otherwise, it basically gets a bunch of single people together for stuff like bowling, rock climbing, ski trips, Napa wine tours, etc. It's actually how I ended up going skydiving for the first time.
 
Just give up guys. op has the forever alone syndrome. There's no cure.

FTFY/QFT.
 
Man... I could write an hour of stand-up material with the online dating experiences I've had with OkCupid in the last few weeks.

Finding myself single again I cranked up a profile and went date-shopping. I've had a few dates so far, and they've all pretty much been either blah or me sitting there with my jaw hanging open waiting for the next crazy thing to roll out of some batshit's mouth.

Things I've noticed;

~ Looking at profiles online has about as much clinical detachment as when I'm shopping for tools online, "Well, she's nice, comes in SAE, but I wonder if I can get her with a rubberized grip?" It's not exactly engaging.

~ The majority of women in my age range are very 'Normal'... IE, I couldn't see them exactly being comfortable at a Roller Derby bout, or standing in the paddock at a race track. They look like they'd rather spend their evenings in a wine bar or walking around Santana Row/Downtown Los Gatos with their girlfriends shopping for shoes.

~ There are a fuckload of single women in Oakland and SF, but fuck you I'm not moving.

~ Every woman lists her wants in a man as someone who is outdoorsy, adventurous, and can make her laugh. Extrapolating that logic every woman's ideal date is a fucking Rodeo Clown.

~ Apparently everybody is into hiking and mountain climbing... In fact, based on the number of times I see that in profiles, even at this very moment every free hiking trail in the Bay Area should be so packed full of single women that it looks like the line to ride Space Mountain.

~ Women on OkC (observed watching over a female friend's shoulder) are getting hammered with IM and messages constantly from scumbags, fuckknuckles, and guidos who use the form-letter-mad-libs shotgun approach to dating. Women are drinking from the fucking firehose. Whereas I've got tumbleweeds rolling through my inbox. Well thought-out and composed personal messages I might send out get lost in the chaff. Trying to message a woman you are interested in online and her actually reading your message given her signal to noise ratio is like pissing in a sea of piss.

~ Listen cupcake, pictures of you running a marathon taken 10 years ago when you were in college and putting 'athletic' as your body type in your profile details do not work when I meet you in person and I can tell the only running you do is to the fridge for more fudge pops during commercial breaks. And that level of physical fitness would only be because your mobility scooter has a dead battery.

~ If the first thing you list in your profile is that your kids are your world... Well sorry lady, my spaceship ain't getting anywhere near your fucking planet. I've chose not to breed for a reason, and John Wayne Gacy makes better father material than I do.

I could go on... and on. Not to mention the dating horror stories.

I've often said the same thing, though I used the analogy of "cars.com" where you search for a car by narrowing down the parameters. It just somehow feels...wrong..

That's why I find the profiles so misleading and/or useless..."hi guys I like hiking, outdoorsy, athletic, drama-free (Y U LIE?), I can both go out on the town, or cuddle on the couch." Yuck. Same as 99% of all the other profiles, useless. Meet in person, or move along!

My favorite :)rolleyes) are the girls who post a group pic and say "guess which one is me?" Choad. :laughing
 
HAHAHAHA. My profile has a recent, real picture of me and says that on a friday night you're likely to find me getting high in a rape van. :twofinger

It also has an HST quote.
 
If you think this sucks now, just wait until you date the over fifty crowd. :twofinger
