The Internet dating world is a cesspool

Mr. C

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

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

I checked out match.com not long after my divorce. When the first person that came up in my search was my ex-wife, I quickly decided Internet dating was not for me.

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

 

[Buck]

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

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

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

How much do you think I can bench press? Go ahead - guess.

What's the point of dating without games? How do you know if you're winning or losing?

Almost every episode of Seinfeld would have been moot with the advent of the cell phone. Think about that.

You're moot with the advent of the cell phone.

Think about that.

My uncle was on Match within a month of my aunt dying. She had been dying for two years and they were in a marriage of convenience, but eyes still rolled as he was bragging about the women he was meeting. He's in his early 70s.

He was married a year later.

Your uncle might be my grandpa.

I have a couple of friends here who have used it with limited success. Both are female, so they ran into a lot of guys who just wanted to hook up so they cancelled their accounts. I imagine there's a lot of that. There's also free online dating sites. One of our new photographers who I went to college with said she's been on sites called OKCupid and Plenty of Fish (says both are fee) simply to help her meet new friends in the area. Apparently it's worked out for her. Might want to try the free route first to save some money, since dating can be so expensive ;D.

Okcupid.com is a Mac.
match.com is a PC.

As you were...

Oddly enough, I'm much better-looking in NYC than I am in LA.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I'm way better looking at 2 than at 10.

I was going to specify Wisconsin but I thought that wouldn't be fair to Bubbler.

I got contacted by a guy two days ago. His profile was weird, to say the least, but like in a charming way. We've exchanged two e-mails. his last was something about how there are 40,000 more women in Atlanta than men, second to NYC, which is a bonus for him.

Uh, yeah, good luck with that.

40,000? Damn I need to move to Hot-lanta.

Wonder if my wife would mind.

 

[westcoastvol]

Tiger, there's a lot more than that in NYC. Plus, they're cooler than Atlanta girls.

I dabbled in Eharmony before meeting my current girlfriend. I found that there was nobody of interest within 90 miles of me. The person I talked the most with lived two and a half hours away. Not sure I was ready to commit to that sort of thing.

 

[westcoastvol]

eHarmony is a sham. I tried it a few years ago and they wouldn't let me join b/c I've taken anti-depressants. It's just for people who rrrrrreally want to be married or in a relationship. I was neither. Still am.

Eliminates our entire job field.

"One day MisterCreosote gathered his courage and approached me..."

Me: I remember, I was drinking a grande espresso.

"I know, and I remember I thought that was really sexy. I was drinking capuccinos... then I switched over to lattes... now it's double espresso macchiato..."

Me: These days I'm a big chai tea/soymilk kind of guy.

I have you down as aqueen.
