Crazy Magnet Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 i dont see what the big deal is....u show up if it sucks u say well f**k it and go for another one... That's what I do!
b52s Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 you look cute enough to me to date anyone you want to. why are you wasting your time w/ online dating? just go out and find someone you like & take it from there Yeah, I've always wondered why a stunning woman needs a dating site? I sometimes see absolute knock-outs, and I figure "What the heck does she need to be here?" LOL
b52s Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 yes, you are exactly right, it takes a whole lot more than physical attraction to win someone over! Two people finding one another physically attractive is merely a starting point. Yeah, and that's where it usually stops....for me. I've even messaged rather homely woman (but cute enough to tolerate) just to see if they respond.....and some of these women weren't much to write home about, and I still got rejected. It's a toughy online dating.
stillafool Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Why do you guys go on these sites anyway?
jw90063 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Why do you guys go on these sites anyway? Um, to see what's out there? Just another option for getting to meet new people. Also, as far as PlentyofFish, its completely free which is ideal for many people these days. I personally would never pay for online dating. I think I did once a long time ago on E-harmony(which was a waste), but that was it. Some people don't get out as much, so these "sites", make it more convenient.
threebyfate Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I find more and more with facebook, a friend will suggest me friending a guy she knows, perhaps from work or a fringe social group. I have a date planned through that method- and it feels safer because my friend has endorsed this person as she knows him.It's great to see someone doing their homework, before getting involved with a stranger! This includes, as previously mentioned by you, googling, etc.
jerbear Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I find more and more with facebook, a friend will suggest me friending a guy she knows, perhaps from work or a fringe social group. I have a date planned through that method- and it feels safer because my friend has endorsed this person as she knows him. You've got to put yourself out there though- and at least present yourself with confidence. Hey D-licious! I know what you mean by using FB. I actually made new friends through volunteering and added them as FB friends. So far the prospects have been better as in we both know we won't do something bad. It is not a blind date like meeting an online date for the first time, even after having online conversations. BTW, the new friends are those I would not normally meet anyway, which is good. TBF, remember your networks thread awhile back? well, the power of the network just kicked in, this time for "love and business!" It feels like an M&A deal! :lmao: I might have to give you and D-licious a finders fee. :lmao: Talking about putting yourself out there, your friends can help pimp you out on FB!! It is all about expanding your search. i.e. I've met senior financially minded women who ARE NOT using online dating but have friends and FB accounts.
New_Life08 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah, loser! He admits to it because he hasn't realized that any decent woman will find it a turn-off....he is still so inept he thinks you will think it's Cool! Whatever! Can anyone say....Next?
Author D-Lish Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Here is another weird message I got today. It's in response to my facts which state "non-religious", and that I find intelligence attractive. This is unsolicited by the way- I'd never talked to him before this message. cut and paste: everyone has a right to believe what they want of course,just sorry that you think that.yer pretty to but i cant be with someone who doesnt believe in God,did you have a bad experience with something?..why do you believe what you do?..sorry i didnt mean to judge you theres a ton of hey really nice photos,but i stopped reading at you think created you and yer pretty face???..or this great universe??..you say you like intellect??..but refuse to believe in God?..thats not very intelligent for someone who is looking for intellect Now, I never engage people in arguements on a dating cite, but I almost want to say something snide in response! What is wrong with people????
jerbear Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Sounds like player! Insult to get a response and then smooth talk. I don't like his grammar but that is another issue.

Author D-Lish Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Oh, and I meant dating site, not cite- sorry I am on some wicked cold meds He's not intelligent enough to be a player! He's just a rambling moron. And he sent 2 messages 10 minutes apart admonishing me for my religious view. Why? I need a witty response ...

Crazy Magnet Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I could hardly plow through the bad grammar. How about sending him a link to a dictionary. I should have saved some of my more horrid emails from POF to share!
Author D-Lish Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Just one line. Matthew 7:3-5 lol, did you come up with that from the top of your head jer? 3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye

jerbear Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 lol, did you come up with that from the top of your head jer? I had to look for it, I remember bible school many many years ago.
Author D-Lish Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 I had to look for it, I remember bible school many many years ago. Me too:sick: I didn't last too long in Sunday school as I asked too many questions and apparantly being curious wasn't okay:confused: I also got kicked out of Bible camp for similar reasons when I was about 11. I just think it's funny that the dude had the audacity to tell me he couldn't date me- TWICE, in two unsolicted messages 10 minutes apart. WTF:lmao:?

I was young Jesus in a skit and even played one of the apostles too. Bought back memories! I would just ignore the guy and just DELETE!

I suppose you're right Jerry-Berry:mad: It's just so disturbing that some weird stranger was so angry that I don't share his values that he felt the need to admonish me twice! The last time I replied to a guy that called me a nasty name for deleting his message (I replied then blocked him) - He created a new account to harrass me! SO you're right- I should learn my lesson and delete!

melodymatters Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 At least you are enjoying the humourous aspects ! Ya gotta laugh at some of these or you will give up on human kind all together ! Some favorites from over the years : The 60 yr old guy who wrote me asking me out like six times in a row with no response, and then wrote again to take it back because he didn't realize I smoked. He was having his own little relationship there, without even having READ a section that apparently was important to him. A rather goofy looking guy, but I was in a small town and trying to be more open : after seeing more pics that weren't online and going ON and on about how gorgeous I was, and how intelligent I seemed from my letters, writing back to tell me that at 5'2, I was too short and he could only date woman between 5'7-5'9. ( no meeting, no phone, and all letters and pics were met with kudo's) The most recent goofball who im'ed me on OkC, and when I looked at his profile and saw he was seriously right wing, interested in casual encounters and had young children, I politley IM'ed back that after looking at his profile, I didn't think we were a match, but thank you and good luck. He started telling me how he was too good for me, and I lost my best chance, and I was shallow, blah, blah. Now I just ignore and block ! Being polite seems to be one of those " bad attention is better than no attention" scenario's ! I think it's funny and am just glad it's anonymous, and I'm not dealing with these idiots in person ! I have met a few pals, and had one LTR years ago through online dating, so it's all good !
