Sheesh.
Isn't that nice?
I especially liked hearing "well, I test drive a car before I buy it" line. Classy.
Men really use that line. I would never say that to a girl but am I thinking that. Yes and so is almost every man I know.
What meet in a hour after first message? Are you sure you are talking to the guy in the pic. I will say that people do need to confirm identity before meeting IRL.
Yep. I had a guy messaging me and asking me to meet him an hour after we exchanged our first message on the dating site and I said no. So he messaged me again the next morning to try again. He didn't seem to understand that I wanted to make sure he wasn't a nutjob before I agreed to meet him. After running into similar situations a few more times, I did some reading online. Apparently it has become a common attitude that if a woman won't meet you within the first three messages or so on the dating site that she never will. And, according to at least one message board I visited, that she is an evil monster who is taking part in a conspiracy to "waste men's time." That was it for online dating more me. Apparently I'm just too cautious by nature.
You are too cautious? or just smart. I face time every person I meet online before meeting IRL. Can't believe the picture they put on there profile.
LOL first 3 messages what now people are not trying to talk to people anymore.

I'm old but I wonder why so many of these dates feel so entitled to violate ethical boundries.0

I'm not sure if it's reassuring to hear other women are having a lousy time dating too, or whether it frightens me because perhaps the men I'm attracting are not a statistical minority...0

Charming.
It's the truth though.
Your truth, perhaps.
He did say almost every man he knows.....how many men does he know?
and typically the people you know and hang out with you tend to have a lot of commonalities so frankly not surpriseing that these guys think that.
I for one don't think that, and believe most men don't think like that.
Women are nothing like cars.
I never said anything about comparing women to cars. The meaning of the expression is what I am talking about.
oh i know what you were talking about

Nothing like taking her for a ride--er, drive, right?
Seriously, though, yopeeps: No half decent guy wants to "test drive" a woman. What a horrible way to put it and a bad light to shed on your gender. Holy crap, you mean she might have a personality outside of the bedroom??

Just think of it as weeding out the douches, getting so future hilarious stories to tell, and making it way worth it when you finally meet a great guy!0 -

@srslybritt After reading your profile I see that, yes, women can have a personality outside of the bedroom! Great stuff!0

Well, it definitely makes for good conversation when my friends and I go to the pub!

I've dated 6 guys. 5 of them were unemployed, or became unemployed for REALLY long periods of time while we were dating. All of them have asked to borrow money at least once. I seems to attract men what want a sugar momma. Too bad for them I don't make enough money to be a good sugar momma lol.0
-
Oh God, at least i'm not alone....but seriously, seems like they are everywhere.
I had a guy ask me on a first date within the first 30 minutes if "clothing was optional" and then said "would you like to touch my soft balls?" ............uhhhhh0 -
I'm done dating. I don't care what anyone does anymore. Just have sex with me and well leave each others lives alone haha jk.
I know the feels0
