    I just got a message today from someone on Plenty of Fish and they asked, 'what do you like to do for fun?'

    Now how do I answer this in a way that will get me in the sack in less than 2 dates? 🤔

    I've got a question for the guys....:

    Evolution and biology, it's pretty much written in our DNA, a man wants to be the provider. But you will find guys who don't care, about 15-20% of dudes who are older.

    I’ve had a few dates from online dating but I still think it’s absolutely terrible way to meet someone. Girls tend to use online apps as a way to increase their social media following and not for the actual dates.

    In the same way guys tend to use online apps as a way to get more notches on the bed post?

    Sweeping generalizations are really great aren't they?

    I personally am very selective about who I add to my social media. In fact, not a single person I have met on a dating app is following me on my social media. There are some real gems I have found here who I am friends with on social media, but that is for their posts and the real interactions I have with them. Half of them are female, half of them are married and all of them are in different countries.

    Yes, they will admit that.

    they definitely work but keep in mind that you will only find the online daters online. The girl/ guy of your dreams may be sitting alone inside Starbucks so don't be afraid to log off, get outside and speak to some attactive looking strangers

    Well, not entirely true
    I tried online dating back in 2011

    After 5 months of online letters to eachother, we decided to meet up.
    2 months after we were a couple, and last June was our 4 year anniversary
    Still happily married

    What platform did you use? Maybe I should get there.

    I recently started a profile on a site out of curiosity. It was up maybe 48 hrs before I deleted it. I answered like 8 questions, no picture, and got like 6 messages. Screamed desperation to me. I decided I needed to clean the garage, paint the kitchen, and about 39 other things before giving that a try again. My commitmentphobia hit 1000% from the messages and I hadn’t posted the good stuff, “introvert that’s slightly neurotic and loves her PS5 more then time with you; will cook for you, in sweats and messy bun but then you’ll have to leave — I got a life!; must be a hunter so I’m guaranteed a silent fall…” 😊.

    I've known alot of guys who would fall right in love with you

    Should people write in their dating profiles if they have a sort of bad habits, addictions, or certain non common preferences? Maybe would be a good starting point before loosing time with that person. Your thoughts?

    Back when I was making the rounds on internet dating sites I had profiles where I was super upfront about the pitfalls of dating me. Like at one point I didn’t have a car. That’s a big deal breaker to a lot of people but I put it in there anyway because well, they’d find out.
    Used to lie a bit on other profiles and say I was a lesbian so the girls would take me seriously but then I changed it to bi since they’d find out...
    So, I think it’s good to put the bad with the good straight up unless the only goal is to score one date. You’d get more dates if you lie! Then, after they like you or have wasted some time, they might put up with whatever bs ya didn’t mention. (Not ‘you’ but general term for everyone reading ‘you’)

    Would you mention your bad habits on a first date as well? If yes, then put it in profile, if not, then don't.
    I think that when you start to love someone, you take their bad habits for granted, because in the end the sum of it all, is that you love that person for who he is.

    Nobody is perfect, so take the person with its flaws as well.

    If the person has an addiction, of any kind, you will find out soon enough, and you can decide wether you love that person enough to look past it or not.

    I've met my wife online back in 2011, and didn't start dating untill early 2012, mainly because we were both pretty shy towards eachother.
    But we did wrote letters to eachother a few times every week, and used WhatsApp to have daily contact.
    We have saved all of our conversations before we physically met in a Word document, and it's about 158 pages long.
