Online dating ruins people.

Think about it: When you are an attractive woman online, you get hit one like 100 times a day, and you have your complete choice of whatever guy you want. Then in real life, if someone hits on you, you are thinking "I haven't read his profile. I don't know what he's like. What if we have nothing in common? He's not as good looking as other guys hitting on me...."

On the flip side, it ruins men too.

The man thinks "This real life *kitten* is way too much work and has the possibility of ACTUAL rejection, rather than just no response. I can just find a girl online."

In addition to all this, you get the crazy factor. Lets face it... a vast majority of guys that seem completely normal in person are freaking CREEPER WEIRDO's on the internet.

Case and Point: In real life, people don't say *kitten* like "I would stab myself in the eye with an AIDS infected needle just to have one date with you".

So now the women are creeped out as well.

So I was in the gym the other day, thinking this stuff to myself, when I had a great "Light bulb/AHA!!!!!" moment. I thought to myself "What if guys in real life actually DID do the same kind of thing?????"

To make a long story short, apparently it is MUCH creepier in real life to say

"I see you have a Starbucks uniform in your gym bag in the ladies locker rooms. Do you work at Starbucks? You should tell me which one. Don't make me visit all of them around here until I find you!"

    I just got a message from a guy at an online dating site.."I would enjoy making love to you all night long and you would enjoy it as well"
    That is creepy no matter what the medium or venue or whatever.
    I told him I would probably enjoy it a lot more alone. But thanks anyway.

    I am HAPPY BEING SINGLE!!!! WHOO HOO! no woman to BIOTCH at me, no one to nag at me. I can do what the hell I want to do - go fishing with the guys, drink until I foam out of my mouth, flick on the lights at 4:00AM to do a long run, then come back a couple of hours later, make a lot of noise, no woman complaining, no woman telling me to turn the lights off and stop making a bunch of noise. No woman beoitching at me because I am eating healty. No beoitching at her because she goes on a $500 shopping spree with MY MONEY that I am saving.

    The best part of it, I can love em and L-E-A-V-E them. Right now, dont want them around for long! And when I mean long - over a week.

    LOL:laugh: This should be the warning on all online dating website. Beware of creepy, unemployed men who live with their parents, play video games all day and hide behind fake photo. Response to their advances at your own risk.

    I have always been the kind of person who CANNOT buy anything from a catalog, especially clothes and shoes. I have to see the item and try it on first. :laugh:

    Wow I meet my wife online as she did me... I was recently divorced she was in her final year of college.. When I went to bed every night I Prayed Lord fine the right one for me anywhere in the world and I will go get them... Long story made short we extremely happly married and I had to travel to the Philippines to get to her... Only 9000 miles one way...Our daughter will soon be eight so we been married almost nine years... I suppose me hoping on a plane flying to the other side of the world to take a chance on life does make me a bit CReePY... BUT we sure are happy and we have beautiful daughter...

    You're making me feel like the execption to the rule here...my guy does most of those things and doesn't bother me a bit. And, not only do I not spend his money, I don't spend mine either. I'm not crazy about blowing money on stupid crap. Guess it's a good thing I never consider myself 'normal'. lol Just a guess on my part, but you sound happily divorced!

    I really agree with what you're saying, especially for younger guys.

    People today are so used to getting EVERYTHING they need online. They'll order things from Amazon, download their music and books, any question they might have is just a Google away...

    So when it comes time to meet women they think it's just as easy. They go on to any website and "try to find chicks they can sleep with." Immediately. They don't even talk to a girl first. It's just "You look alright, where do you live? Let's bang!"

    Some guys really need to put down the mouse and learn to SPEAK to a woman.

    I met my significant other online. And it's interesting.
    It's hard sustain that state of longing and amazement... that "oh my gosh you are the most amazing creature ever, that man you are with is such a chump"

    eventually the one you met online becomes the man other men online are calling a chump...

    And then you are like "oh, I see a pattern"

    I catch myself seeing random guys sitting alone or with other men at bars and wondering what their literal or figurative dating profiles might say...

    and then considering myself at a disadvantage for not having read it before approaching them or being approached by them.
