I found my gf on the yahoo personals site. It was almost interviewing for a job and I had to sift through psychos, women with baggage etc to find her.

Was I hallucinating the other day, or did you try to start a thread about the wisdom of having your girlfriend fvck you in the arse with a strap-on?

This thread has now blown my fragile little mind.

Meh... I was never into the whole "lets chat till we get to know each other" part of I-dating. I just used it as a first contact sort of thing. If someone caught my eye I'd send them a note asking if they wanted to go have dinner or something. That's how I met my fiance.

Me: Hi there. I saw your profile and was wondering if you'd like to have dinner.

Her: Sure. How about Thursday? My number is XXX-XXXX. When you figure out where and when call me.

When you work 70+ hours a week the "regular" ways of meeting people are just too much effort.

that's how I feel.. I don't like the whole chatting part.
I wish a girl would just give me her number and we can meet in person to get to know one another

Yeah, pretty much. I don't mind chatting though.

Chatting has a whole dynamic of it's own. If you can chat well together, you will probably have good communication in real life too.

Besides, most girls would be creeped out by "Hi, wanna meet?" lol..

Gotta warm then up to the idea. 😛

Just remember whatever you put in your profile, and no matter what sex you are, they young, hot member of the opposite sex with their own sailboat is in reality a fat, 50 year old insurance salesman who doesn't shower and is a registered sex offender. At least going by 20/20 anyway.

 

[acemcmac]

nope, I haven't stooped to it yet so it's still pathetic IMHO 😉

seriously though, GL :beer:

 

[mrrman]

I think its a waste of time

Thats not true. On Match.com most of the people are legit.

Wait... define what you mean by dating.

1) Meeting people online to meet in real life (ie Dating services).

2) Dating (going as far as or beyond a commitment) people a few states away that you have never met.

3) Getting past the need for the first few dates using the internet.


1 & 3 are cool... 2 is just dumb. There is no replacement for socialization. A human needs it to feel a true sense of fulfillment.

Didn't know it was ever considered pathetic. Back in the day people used to carry on relationships from across the globe via mailed letters every few weeks. Hell, even still our boys and girls in the armed forces only communicate with their SO's through phone and the occasional email, for months at a time.

Met my wife online, knew her for over 5 years before we ever met face to face, we both dated a few other people we met locally, turns out we were more perfect for each other than anyone either of us had dated previously.

Same here. My lady PIC

The wedding is July 8th. I would have NEVER meet her if not for online. I don;t care how you meet someone weather it be at yahoo, match, target, or at work. As long as you both are happy then that is all that matters.

Look at it this way. bBefore the internet had dating, people had to meet in person and the divorice rate is around 50%. So its not like you can do any worse then people that meet in person or through a friend etc...
