Dating Strategy...

Ow Gawwwwd!

I have no idea how to support this. :huh:
Ppl online are all sorts of fuqed up.
Been on the receiving end of some harsh azz shizz. :noway:

Good luck w/that

Maybe try using readable English?

lol I put in Doctor Who and Legend of Zelda references in mine: i.e. Ideally, my match would be a 900 year-old timelord with two hearts and a box. Enjoys scuba diving with the Zora and vacationing in Hyrule.

Maybe try using readable English?

^ This just made my day

I'm on the brink of rejoining the dating world.

I've been out of the loop for a while and am debating the internet dating thing.

Thus far, my "strategy is to throw out obscure It's Always Sunny in Philly references and respond to the contacts that catch it.

Yes, I realize that's not a great way to go about it. Considering I have never done the internet thing and have always gone off of sheer connection, I'm not sure how to approach the potential of dating someone I have never met.

Maybe I should try this. I quit my online dating experiment. I kept getting really strange emails that were:
a) Unreadable
b) looking to hook up
c) Making confessions about their sexual identity
d) Shooting way out of their league
e) people who look and/or act completely different in person
f) only seem to want to talk online

:ohwell:

Caught me.

Oh really? Well let me drop an egg of knowledge on you and teach you how to properly boil over a milk steak hard... and pick out the finest jelly beans. :blushing:

I'm a...a.. full on rapist.


Some of us don't need to look up quotes.

hahahahahahahahaha...

We can start a hornet farm and collect whatever delicious thing that they make :-)

I'd like to be the wildcard though.

I used OkCupid and ended up meeting 4 guys in-person. 2 out of the 4 I still keep in touch with, 1 was not what I was looking for (not college educated and lied on his profile about it, then I got the vibes that he was only looking for a ONS, which was also not what I wanted -- you can usually tell pretty fast with those sorts of people), and the last guy I met there I've been dating for the past 5 months and I'm meeting his family this weekend So success stories are real!

Obviously it's always hit and miss, but the way that I did it was through being bluntly honest about what I wanted on my profile. The nice thing about dating online is that you don't have to pretend to be someone else to get dates-- there are so many people out there that if they have (literally) the balls the message you because they sincerely believe that y'all may be compatible, most likely it's worth a shot. Plus, you can reject them without ever having to do it to their face :P

But yeah, to give you an idea, at some point on my profile I wrote something along the lines of basically telling non-college educated guys and people with terrible grammatical skills that they would be better off checking out a different profile. I also threw something in there about if all the message they send me is "Your (mistake included) so beautiful/hot/sexy/etc." that I would never respond.

Good luck, OP!

Yo ah think ah found uh way ta decode da way some peeps jive on da internet what 'chew trippin foo.
