    Note to self...don't tell girls they're pretty.

    Oh, not true. Girls like to be told they're pretty...but if they read my profile and only want to comment on my looks? That's no bueno. If you message me, talk about the dozen or so other topics I offered in my profile instead.

    And....some guys have come back with a smart *kitten* comment when I say 'My Mom says I'm pretty too. Wait...do you know my Mom'...and then a nice conversation ensues. Very few, but it happens.

    One of the earlier posters said she uses Skype now and I'm totally all in on that too!

    Doesn't Skype add 10 pounds to the user's appearance?

    It's not what it adds, but where it adds!!

    I was brutally honest while doing the online dating thing. I made what I was looking for perfectly clear and it helped weed out a lot of losers and scammers. I went on a few dates that were alright, perhaps a bit awkward since I was married for almost 16 years. Lucky for me, that honesty paid off and I found what I was looking for.

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

    I've never had this problem lolol.
    Ask them to show you their ID. They can block out the important bits. If they refuse, red flag.

    Hmm That might not sit well with some guys. And who actually updates there ID. Although I did for mine yesterday.

    I would write in my profile "messages that just say 'hey' won't be responded to"..or something along those lines. Then people would just say "hey" and get annoyed when I wouldn't respond.

    The red flags for women.... body type "about average" or "curvy" Now they are hit or miss, but if its only selfies with head and big boobs but no body shot. They usually are carrying a lot extra lol.

    I'm a short guy and don't get a ton of responses for that reason, but at least I don't lie :/

    They usually ask you to help (pay whole amount) of whatever it is that they want.

    I had a guy that got so mad when I wouldn't let him pick me up for our first date and told him I would meet him at the restaurant. Like he got seriously offended (because he knows what type of person he is and who he is, but if I need to meet somewhere to be comfortable then he was "okay" with it)....needless to say our first date never happened.

    For all the bad dates I bet the ratio is 3 bad dates a guy has to one bad date a woman has.... just sayin

    Seriously? We're the ones who have to fight dudes off who think we somehow owe them something for buying us dinner...or keeping us company during dinner, since I at least offer to pay for my own. That sets up some very awkward situations from go.

    But on the other hand, I did meet the man of my dreams on OKCupid, and we both feel extremely fortunate to have finally found each other, so I highly encourage any single person to try it. Just make sure your sense of humor is intact.

    Married guys who lie about being divorced, guys who are like WAY different than their picture, guys that are just plain disgusting....I have had to deal with all that crap. It got to the point I was listed as "Replies very selectively" because I was just not responding to a lot of people. I wrote in on my page to write something more than "Hey what's up?" so those who did I knew they read my page. If they just send me "Hey what's up" I know they didn't read my page and just looked at my pictures....delete!

    Not when I've never met you before. Maybe I watch too much CSI and Law and Order: SVU, but you are definitely not picking me up at my house the first date.
    Now if I knew you in person, totally different story.

    We were suppose to meet for a comedy show at 9. Showed started at 10, a drink before. I got there, he never showed up. I still wanted to go to the show, so I bought myself a ticket and went across the street for a drink before it started. He texted me that he fell asleep. I said I was still going, and he came down to join me. Showed up with cat fur all over, a dirty trench coat and untied boots. During the intermission, the people in front of us were taking selfies and he kept covering up his face. After we were walking on the sidewalk and I ran into a friend. I put my arm around her and started to walk ahead a bit. I turned around to go back to say goodnight to my date and he was nowhere to be seen. He texted me a few minutes later, said he went home but wanted to go out again to "make up for being late." I declined.

    I do have to say though, I've stayed friends with two guys I met online. And through one of them I met my boyfriend and we are celebrating one year in a month in Florida!
