The Internet dating world is a cesspool

The dating world period is a cesspool. I have told my friends that if I ever do decide to do Internet dating, just shoot me and get it over with. I haven't been on a date in four years and I still can't bring myself to go sign up for a dating site. (I did go and look for guys in my last zip code on plenty of fish. That was terrifying. Mostly because 95 percent of the guys said the same thing. Something about wanting a down to earth girl and they loved huntin', fishin', riding four-wheelers and raising hell. Some even listed their favorite brand of beer.)

But yeah, being a girl, there's something inherently scary about dating someone online. I can see myself going out for coffee and ending up dead in a ditch.

 

It's not just that zip code.

 

I went to plentyoffish, but immediately exited when I realized it was Plenty of Fish, not Plenty Offish, which is more in keeping with my personality.

 

That had better be some damn good coffee.

 

He'll, from what I understand, sj has been a match.com for some. And talk about a cesspool...

 

I'm the dead in a ditch.

 

Did you at least have coffee first?

 

Oh, I know. But I went through 20 pages of limited profiles and there was only one that I would have even considered contacting. I know it's not the best dating site out there but it was still amusing and scary all at the same time.

Dude, drop Match.com. It is not worth the $. Try OKCupid or meetup.com which are both free.

 

Do you like Pina Coladas? Taking walks in the rain? Are you not into health food? Do you have half a brain?

 

We both enjoy soup, and talking, and not talking.

We can not talk for hours and still find things to not talk about.
