I feel you... for a few weeks now I've realised it's not even worth wasting a night. It's been kind of a disappointing experience, lol

I haven't decided which is more frustrating online dating or "real" dating. At least with online dating you can ~TRY~ to pre-screen the wack jobs, narcissistic douche bags, and all around losers. Although, I have been online dating for about 2 1/2 years and that pre-screening is no exact science. :grumble:

what site are you using roadie :huh: lol

I have had mixed experiences, but overall I agree it is a little better than trying to meet a guy at the grocery store :laugh:

Boy Shopping hahahaha!

I have been on and off Match for I am embarrassed to say over a year now. I have had more than my share of complete disappointments and have also met some pretty cool folks. All in all it is very frustrating though. I enjoy the screening and being able to narrow down my "shopping" list though.

Side note I actually met someone from this site the other night, we hung out and had a fantastic time and may do so again tonight.

I met my ex on match, obviously it didn't work out but she's a great person and we are still friends. I've met a couple on eharmony, one of which I'm supposed to get dinner with tonight. I met one on POF about a year ago and we dated for a while. Mainly it's just nice to meet people I have things in common with, we don't always have chemistry but we usually have fun at least.

hey I've had my share of those evenings..

i call it "boy shopping".... :bigsmile:

boy shopping lmao. I need to do more of that

No dating websites for me....met someone special on MFP!! :bigsmile:

As if all of MFP (at least the Single Peeps peeps) don't know this already, Mr. Obvious. :laugh:

I was just telling the other 1080 members that stalk the page but never post! Hey and quit stalking me! I am just trying to get rid of nervous energy!

Quit hijacking the thread or else I'm kicking you out of the group (would only consider doing in order to blow off nervous energy, of course). :flowerforyou:

D'aaawwwwwwwww

Aw, don't say that! My friend is having such a good time online I was thinking of singing back up. I did meet some good guys the first time around, but I just didn't have time to wade through all the junk so I didn't even finish out my subscription.

Is it that there's no good guys? poor selection in your area?

I have recently tried Match and eHarmony, combined with real life match making attemps from friends (with no success to date obviously, as I am a member of this group, lol). I have met my share of socially awkward peeps, and some other interesting guys that seemed to have the entire package (mature, funny, easy to talk to, kind, etc. etc.) However, the few guys I was really interested to get to know better suddenly vanished! So rather than frustrating, I would say it has been a puzzling experience. LOL

We seem to have the same plans....and feelings.

Match seems to give it all in the first week, after that it's nearly a waste of time...

I wanna know what your profile says...! lol

I'm hidden right now though

I've always thought women just had to weed through the masses of emails they got.
Didn't know you had to look, very interesting.

i'd love to meet someone on MFP.

once it moves off the site and onto email or texting, getting pics of their junk....... it gets old time after time saying, "NEXT!!"

at least here, i can have some normalcy with people, LOL!!!

One person's junk is another person's treasure

I'm too nervous to put myself out there on a dating site again. I did it when I was 265lbs and got such horrific responses .. "You'd be pretty if you were skinny," "Hefty-much?" and one of my favorites "If we went out, you'd eat me out of my credit card."

Seriously, the harsh comments a really hard to a woman's confidence level, even someone trying to better themselves. I know I've lost 80 lbs since then but still, someone will find SOMETHING to pick on you for or pass you over for. Really wishing we had more networking events out where I am. I've done the Match thing, the POF thing (which was awful) and OkCupid but nothing lasting from any of them. eHarmony is my next possible thought. Guess it's because I also don't find myself to be that attractive, then again, when you get slammed in notes from people you contact with interest, you wonder, "why the heck am I putting myself out there?"

I guess it's a catch-22.
