irc333 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 There had been a previous post around here somewhere asking, "Are people just tired of online dating?" And it made me think, "Yes, and it's even SHOWING in profiles, so much to the fact, it's really getting discouraging to the person writing the profile, to the person reading said profile...... I've seen a few profiles where women just copy and paste repeat words to make fulfill the word count. "Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends.Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends. Just want to make new friends. I am trying to fill this stupid things up and dont like to share a lot." In her profession, "I help people" I she's a repeat online dater, her previous profile she actually told of her profession, like works for the state as a counselor or something, and she seemed a bit more compassionate, too. Funny that she USED to share. With that attidude, I bet she's even a crappy first date, and even if you got her to go out with you, the date would be crappy anyhow, because she'd have this chip on her shoulder going into it. Agreed?
Disillusioned Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 OLD fatigue is due to a combination of grass-is-greener syndrome and laziness. Laziness because we either can't or won't start IRL groups, and grass-is-greener syndrome because we're either men looking for that extremely horny model, or women looking for that rich guy who'll buy them truckloads of junk. It would never enter our heads that we're not going to get either one of those, because Ms. Model is already paired up with Mr. Wealthy... so you better get used to Ms. Frigid-and-ugly and Mr. Poor-and-stingy.
EmperorR Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 online dating for the most part sucks, i live in a big city yet when I was using some online dating sites it was the same females day after day week after week month after month. I'm sure it works for some people, but I loathe it.
Jazzari Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I think there are some real gems hidden in the multitude of profiles. You just have to be patient and work at it until you find them.
oaks Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Yes, I've seen lots of profiles recently where the woman had time to upload some photos but didn't seem to have the time (or didn't give a sht) about saying anything about herself. Assuming some of those people are actually hoping to find someone (ie, it's a real account and not a fake or a joke or whatever) then I have no idea how to respond to them anyway. Maybe if there's something interesting going on in the photos then that's a conversation starter, but if it's just the usual collection of posed photos and some basic details about height, eye colour, location, maybe job, then what sort of openers is she expecting? Neither "Sup?" or "You look nice." seem likely to work, yet she hasn't really given much of an opening.
Woggle Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I never met anybody on a dating site and if for some reason I should become single again I doubt I ever will. I just don't like the supermarket approach to dating that you find online.

Author irc333 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 OLD fatigue is due to a combination of grass-is-greener syndrome and laziness. Laziness because we either can't or won't start IRL groups IRL groups, also known as "Meetup" events (from the site) or sometimes people can schedule these events on Facebook. I have noticed those people that join the Meetup sites that are ALSO on the dating sites, never go or HARDLY go to "Real Life" events, because if they look at the RSVP list, and see that , well, obvoiusly, what they think are unattractive men/women.....they' will NOT go to the event, they can't ENJOY the "The Dinner and a Movie Night Out" group because, well, they can't just enjoy the movie and dinner if there are ugly people there, right? So they sit on their arses at home behind the screen as opposed to partaking in REAL LIFE human interaction. They'd prefer to sit at home and try to get some hunk or babe to go out with them online, as opposed to enjoying getting out of the house. But of course, why go out on the town with a bunch of average to not so great looking guys/gals? Pretty sad, actually.

Disillusioned Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 The devil with patience... that's why I bought a Realdoll. So it's only logical that there's some woman out there who's going to get old and die alone because she doesn't want any other guy and I'm not picking up the brainwaves she's sending out.
Author irc333 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah, there are some rather attractive over 40 women, due to the fact they didn't have any kids that caused any kind of change to their bodies, so they wind having the same body they did when they were younger (granted they keep an eye on their weight). They also probably look more stress free, because they didn't go through the stress of a horrid divorce or any kind of sibling rivalry amongst children and family. At that age, they STILL want to have a boyfriend, without that hinderance of a relationship getting in the way. lol The devil with patience... that's why I bought a Realdoll.
