irc333 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Well, had an experience, been talking to this woman I had met by other means, casual acquaintance while out and about with friends actually. This is the one that needed help with her computer problem earlier. We exchanged #'s and had been chatting on the phone. Funny thing was, I think she was pretty nosey about what I did for a living, just told her I worked in the computer field. Later, I mentioned I saw her on Match.com and she said she's been on the site for a while,but is really only looking for friends. I said I kind of got that vibe from her and said I was okay with that, no biggie....I've been on a roll with being friends with women lately by building social capital. Well, turns out, not everyone is hardly the same. She also lacks a sense of humor, even when I say "LOL" at the end of a sentence. She was the one that was, I think, trying to set me up with her 44 year old friend that's never had a boyfriend. The reason I said what was said int he title, was becuase of the fact that, with online dating, it leave the social inept, rude, or whatever mental problems they have....they allow themselves to eliminate people out of the running, by knowing MORE about them, than before they meet them. Not saying ALL that do online dating are wack jobs, because I've seen perfectly normal people doing online dating...but...it's VERY well done for those with social issues. In this woman's case....money was important to her....by putting a dollar figure on her profile, and the dollar figure of what she expects from a man in a profile....well, why get to know the man face to face or by "chance meetings" , when it's not even her business how much ya make? Or she won't even have an idea, until after awhile....not right up front. She mentioned to me she's getting ready to see a guy from Match.com, and asked me if she had any advice. Her question about the advice tied into me saying, "Oh, that being said, what's up with you wanting a guy making no less than 100K a year? Sounds like a lot of money." And she says, "Not really, but I guess that depends on how you look at it" And I go, "Why so much money?" And she said "Listen, I never asked you to talk to me, you don't know me, and I don't think we should talk anymore...good day to you!" I got the vibe she was one of those high maint., hoity toity types, people that I probably couldn't stand to be around....EVEN as a friend. So I let her be.....so much for helping her with her computer problem.....that's gratitude for ya and gold digger. Edited May 26, 2012 by irc333
