Single and dating

Do people really use this site for dating? I flirt but does anything really ever come out of it?

MFP is the king of Long-Distance-Relationship dating sites. No. . nobody ever actually MEETS the person they fall in love with.

Well that's just sad

I think he was being sarcastic. In other words if you fall in love, you make it work

LOL gotcha it's so hard to read sarcasm.....

Sort of sarcastic.. more. . tragically jaded.. The person you meet and really connect with is inevitably far, far away. . Even if you both want to be together, it's impossible (sigh). . .

Nothing is impossible.

I've hooked up with someone one here, but we were already married so I don't think that counts. and I have met people from this site in person, always fun

Oh - Dear - Lord!

There's good and bad in all dating sites. Freaks are everywhere. You have to be careful and selective.

As for the term BBW, that's the only choice I see fit when describing myself. I'm don't have a few pounds extra...I have many. And therefore I'm big, and beautiful, and I'm a woman. LOL.

oh i get it , freaks are a bad thing.

Not ALL freaks are bad...lol :devil:

Exactly. Not all freaks are bad.

oh good cause i have a friend that wants to lick your belly button

Is he hoping to get out all the lint to add to his collection? Cuz that's HAWT!!

no its just a thing he has, a fetish, and he prefers if you pretend to cry when he does it, is that a problem?

There's always Craigslist!


Bahahaha

It seems everyone has avoided the BBW part of your question. I am sure they don't want anyone to have hurt feelings.

I think the reason it has developed a bad name is because it is used to describe someone that is not just big. When I think of a big beautiful woman, I think of a 6 foot tall woman or a woman with broad shoulders. However, it is usually attached to someone that is obese. Now being fat or obese does not make you unworthy of love and happiness (thank goodness!).

But most people, men or women, when going to a dating site are not looking for an obese partner.....yes even if they are obese. Which I find amusing when an obese friend won't look at anyone overweight to date and are surprised when they have trouble getting a date.

If you notice there is no real comparable term for a man. Fat guy that sits on the couch and has no intention of doing much else.....that doesn't go over well. And I was that guy for a long time. And Big Guy is still used for the 7' athlete and the fat guy. Although usually only the fat guy calls himself big. (I was guilty of that too)

I think we all know that true beauty starts inside. But it doesn't always show on the outside even if you are not obese or fat. Or perhaps we just have trouble seeing it thanks to modern media. Sometimes the internet allows us to get to know someone for who they really are. That is awesome. But other times people simply hide part of themselves when online. ( To some degree we all do but some are extreme about it)

Just remember that what works for some doesn't work for others. Online or in person, pursuing a hobby (honestly, not just to hook up.) often leads to people that you will naturally get along with. Directly or indirectly this may lead to a relationship.

Just my two cents.

Hello Please tell me how you feel about Dating Sites? Good / Bad ? Why do people dislike the term Big Beautiful Woman? I feel I'm a Plus size woman. I feel that I'm pretty. Thank you Have a great Day.

I've been using dating sites since my divorce almost a year ago. Much of my social circle had been "married friends" or guys from my homebrew club.

First - be prepared for rejection. It can take a while of sending out emails/questions until that one person (a) responds and (b) you feel there is a click.

There are people (male and female) out there who just use even the "reputable" sites for sex and/or dinner. One lady I dated for a while was dating several men at the same time. She was at least honest about it though. I personally didn't want that, so had to move on, but we've remained friends. Not everyone will be honest, of course! Other times, you finally meet, and there is no connection, even after emailing etc for a while. All of the people I have met were nice, friendly, clean etc... just not always a real connection. [Actually - not all clean. There was one lady who had dog poop on her bed...]

Sometimes it works though. I'm currently 2 months into a relationship with one lady, and it's working pretty well.

As to the BBW - well, I will say that my personal preferences don't run that way. I exclude people who put that in their profile. To me, it does mean obese.

MFP is a wonderful dating site.
