Online Dating ruins people.

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

What like over a webcam you mean? Does not compute.

I met my husband online. Married 1.5 years and together for 4. Both of us are pretty normal, and his profile was down to earth, smart, and lighthearted, just like him.

I ordered my boyfriend, Bob, online. Does that count?

Just as long as you don't return bob used, I think it's fine ;-)

You'd be suprised what you can learn about people from cameras placed in locker rooms and bathrooms. I've been able to use a lot of this information to my advantage.

I met my husband on WoW! Doesn't get any creepier than that! :P

That's not creepy. Geeky, sure. Creepy? Nah.

UsedToBeHusky

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"

:huh:

Joking aside, for some people online dating is safer, easier, and generally better. The search engines nowadays make finding someone you who even have a chance of liking that much easier.

I mean, where are you supposed to meet people these days?

I hate pubs and clubs, and the person i would want wouldn't like them either, so im not going to meet that person IN a pub or club!

In all the places i go, activities, leagues, sports clubs, etc....i dont think there is one female there even in my age range, let alone with more in common. That's where online stuff is useful! Plus, I think my interests are pretty eclectic. Who else love competitive badminton, competitive Tenpin bowling, and plays WoW?! Normally it's one or the other, not both!

Sure, there are creeps, both male and female, on there too, you just gotta weed them out. They aren't ALL like that.

That's why I did the online dating. I'm not a club or bar person, and usually quite the homebody. I do go out on weekends, but I like to fish, camp, go birding, do anything outdoors alone or in small groups instead of hitting the city. I had a really hard time trying to find someone in my circle of friends as it was mostly older men who were either married or not the right personality for me.

Awww. just yesterday I over heard a guy trying to ask out a cashier at our grocery store. He said and I quote. "I want to ask you out again but you always say, no. I'm not sure how many more times I can do this." :sad:

I actually felt bad for both of them. Maybe I should have told him about online dating.

I met my husband the old fashioned way....


Picked him up at a bar. One night stand gone terribly wrong....

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.

Hey, how YOU doin'?

Online dating has only served to prove to me how creepy the men on the sites are...

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...

Aww that's actually a nice story! I'm not so lucky, I guess. The guys I talk to either immediately start planning our life together with the first text or tell me that they'd love to sleep with me as soon as possible...weird. I'm glad you and your wife worked out, though. Maybe there is hope after all...

So the guy you are with now is a chump or the guy you were with before this one is a chump?
Do you only date chumps? :ohwell:

I was once stalked by a uber religious guy whom I met at a church singles mixer. He wanted to 'save' me. I am pretty sure he wanted to use his penis for this. Fun times, fun times. Anyway, there are creeps everywhere and people are often awkward about trying to get laid and that usually comes off as creepy.

This is a must have statement for any online profile.

I think that makes sense though. I guess a fair percentage of the men who use internet dating sites do so because they have less success with women than then they would like in normal, day to day life. This implies to some degree that they have less developed social skills or ability to interact with women in the usual way. Therefore they are more likely to come out with some inane burbling...

My ex may have been a chump lol.
Anyhow... when you are part of a forum. there is always somebody saying they could offer you more the whole "I'd cut off my arm to lick your neck" thing...
It's just interesting lol

when you are a female on a forum very few men on a forum resepct that relationship you may be in.

Nobody appreciates honesty anymore. Sheesh.

Bwhahahaha. That is brilliant. That gives a whole new meaning to being touched by the hand of God.

I agree 100%

I met my husband online... we've been together almost 5yrs.

Online affords you a lot of freedom to be the person you really are, but often cannot bring yourself to be in random, real-life situations. Once you've broken the ice and chatted online it's a lot easier to be more confident when you finally meet in person, because you've already by-passed the awkward breaking-the-ice phase.
