A guy wanted to touch himself? What is with guys that love doing that?!
If only women who were interested in watching guys do that would simply send a message to the poster asking for his Skype ID to work that out privately!
I'm sure those guys posting about the subject would just share their Skype ID gladly! Just sayin'0 -
i think i might give the online thing a try0

When I came back she was talking to another dude, and then he started playing pool with her. They then started to get flirty etc... They were so into each other, I just ended up leaving. I'm fine with it, because we didn't really have chemistry. And I would never want to be with someone that disrespectful...
Wow that sucks. You did the right thing by just leaving though. Could see myself getting way too PO if that happened to me.0 -

I was on OKcupid when they started. The forums there were a meat locker, but they put the nix on that after a few years. Doesn't surprise me, the pervy request.

All of them, it usually starts with arriving and a male has yet again over estimated their height!0

I dated a German girl once, she was extremely racist. She actually said the "n" word on the date.
This is exactly why, I post my deal breakers; on my dating profiles as well!0 -
Well I'm trying the online dating right now and yeah....not so good. Just got a message from one guy to call him ASAP and another I replied too did pretty much the same thing. if you want my number or your giving me yours right off the bat then my creepers alarms are going off

Just over a year ago I came out of a 15 year relationship, pretty messy end, but have recently signed up to match.com as really don't have the time at the moment to go out and meet someone the old fashioned way.
However, not really having spent much time on the app as yet, I either come across as really dull, possible too short lol, and maybe to some I am a hippocrocadillapig, hopefully not, but I have yet to have received a single message.
I have wondered if it is really the man's responsibility to contact the women he is interested it, but as I am new to this, each time I start a message, I fall flat after the obligatory hey, came across your profile...
I then delete the message and give up lol. So, at the moment online dating isn't working for me, but maybe I will be able to update this once I work out a witty opener relating to the profiles in question and hopefully lead to some conversations at least.0 -
So many interesting stories.0

Before I start I am now married but not to the guy from the date Lol. I went on a date with a guy who seemed very lovely and rather normal. Got a bit heated later at his place and he asks if I would pee on him......hmmmm each to their own but I was out of there in a flash..Taxi!!!0

I think the only reason they are necessary now is because it's hard to make eye contact with a real live human being when your head is always looking down at a cell phone.
If you put your cell phone down and log off your computer and go out in the real world, you might be surprised at how many real people are available. To increase your chances of finding someone compatible, just enjoy life and do those things that you enjoy doing. When you meet someone that is engaged in the same activities as you, you've already got one thing in common.
I know you'll just tag me as some old dinosaur with archaic notions, but I don't care. I found my love. Been together over a quarter of a century and we've still never texted each other.
Meeting people in person doing stuff you love - is great. But...I admit to liking online dating because it basically allows you to gracefully filter out people. I love random conversations with strangers and meet people all the time. But sometimes...you have that awkward moment an hour or so into a conversation (or less) when they say something that makes you inwardly think 'look away, look away, look away'. That is much less prevalent with online dating, because you filtered out most of those gentlemen.
I think online dating is just more opportunity to meet someone special.
Online dating just increases your opportunity to meet the 'right person'. You might be lucky enough to meet someone at your local coffee shop that you can connect with, but online dating allows you to talk to someone who hangs out in a coffee shop across town that you would not normally meet.
I get it. I just believe that, more often than not, the person you meet on line is the profile of a person that that person wants to be or that they believe is someone others would want to be with.
I am so happy that I have found my wife. If I were single, I probably couldn't get a date.

Oh the racist thing reminds me of another horrible date. We met at a park to have a picnic. We were sitting at some park tables and there was a man and a woman sitting at the table behind us. They were African American which I don't care, but the guy I was with (who was from Lebanon and going to college in this town) looks at me and says, "don't you think black people are really racist?" He said it loud enough for them to hear too. I am completely mortified and told him well every race has racist people in it but I don't think them as a whole are racists. But he kept insisting that they all were. Then he grabs me and starts kissing me. It was the worst kiss in the history of Man. My chin and cheeks were soaking wet from his spit. There was more of his spit than mine in my mouth and he started to suck so hard on my face I thought he was going to suck my face off my skull. While doing this, he is grabbing my boobs. I pull his hand off, pry my face from his mouth, and tell him to stop touching my boobs. He tells me he likes them. DON'T CARE. Then he apologizes and we sit there for a little bit. Then he grabs me again and it starts all over. So I put him in a wrist lock told him the date was over and start to get up to leave. He then tells me that I have to come up with the next idea for the next date since it's my turn. Yeah that didn't happen.0

Being an idiot does not discriminate. There all over. I'm trying to picture this date though being the gender switched.

I HATE when guys do that...it's like they're entitled to you.
That reminds me of a similar experience just recently. First, the dumbass lied about his age. He's really 4 years younger than me instead of 1 (didn't figure that out until after though). And then, without even asking, he starts going for the shirt. Granted, he was hot so I let it get a little further than I should have...but then he was insisting I wanted to have sex with him. I said no I don't know how many times, but apparently he didn't realize that some girls really do mean what they say. At one point, I was a little bit worried that I didn't really have a choice, but he wasn't that much of a douche bag thank God.
Yeah, needless to say, that's why I carry my knife with me everywhere. And why I still need to get my carry permit.0 -
lol some damn , these are some horrible stories.0

So I have been on almost every single dating website that has ever been created. The ones that are free, the ones that you pay for, the ones that are literally just for hook ups (POF and Tinder) and ones that seem could potentially be for long term (Match) and I seem to find the exact same thing: guys talk to you for about 2 minutes and then it's, can I have your number, can I have your e-mail address, etc. I'm sorry, but I am not giving you my number after exchanging 3 messages (literally 3, over the course of 10 minutes) with you.
The best though are the guys who jump straight into sexual conversations (POF and Tinder are the best examples, which in my defense, I didn't really know too much about them at first, so I didn't know that's what they were all about), and want nothing more than a hook up.
I had one guy who told me I had beautiful eyes and a great profile and that I was the type of girl he was looking for (this was on Match.com) and literally within 2 days of e-mailing back and forth, asked me if I liked a guy going down on me and when were we going to have sex.
REALLY??? That conversation was quickly ended and deleted.
wow, I didn't know POF was just for hook ups.
I don't think it's necessarily just for hook ups, but I've found the majority of people on there are just looking for that.0 -

Yeah, but I have heard some good ones. I only know 1 person that has had good luck, but you never know until you go out there and try.
I just get frustrated at the amount of people I message and then don't get a response back. I actually spend time reading the profiles and message with something related to that...for example, found a guy a few days ago, good looking, seems nice, we "match" and he spent two weeks in Italy last year, posted pictures, talked about how he loved to travel, etc. I lived in Italy for four years, so I messaged him about what a beautiful country it was, how I liked some of his pics from the trip (I swear, it wasn't creepy), asked what country he wanted to travel to next, etc. Not one comment back.
Frustrating.0 -
Reading through some of these is scary. I'm so glad I have been able to avoid the online dating scene. I have friends with terrible horror stories as well.0

It is hilarious. I highly recommend it. But, can definitely be a major time suck.
And you can have fun with it. Like, sometimes when guys send the 'hey, you're pretty' message, I'll send back - "Oh my gosh! My Mom says the same thing. Wait....do you know my Mom?"
And I laugh.
