irc333 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I found this rather ironic. A woman, very attractive lady, she is an organizers of a rather large social Meetup, been to a few of them myself, but the turn out is so large it seems rather impersonal at times. She's always spamming our inboxes for "last minute" invites to her events to pack the local pub she reserved for 100+ people. They are mostly just social networking get togethers, but lately she's been putting on more and singles or 'dating game' Meetups where tons of people show up. I just found it ironic she's on a dating site, but then she explains herself there that she has no problem meeting men, it's just that she's very selective and as of yet to find someone to her liking. Funny at the end of her profile she says, like most women, "If I do not respond, it means I wasn't interested....and..if you already know...it is not necessary to say hello. The latter seems to mean..."If I wasn't interested in you face to face, then I won't be online either." Funny how ironic she has tons of men to choose from AND it's all face to face, but yet she still needs a dating site to meet men?
petitefleur Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I think she means "if I didn't respond online don't bother say hello in person because I wasn't interested." Yes kind of mean but maybe a lot of men want to interact with her given that she's the organizer. Did you like her?

No surprise here. More and more people are looking to OLD to find someone. FACT. The truth of the matter is that IRL is vastly over-stated. There are people who will die by it, but have the SAME or similar dating issues as people who use OLD. My gf finds it silly to dismiss OLD considering that it can be an effective way for some to meet and find someone. Even in face to face (which OLD dating becomes eventually, obviously), people can create personas the make themselves more appealing.

soccerrprp Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 She sounds like a keeper. People can be a little harsh, but with dating, in general, you have let people know what you want and don't want. She's being up-front and assertive about her expectations. Nothing wrong with that.

She's being up-front and assertive about her expectations. Nothing wrong with that. She's actually in the marketing / social networking industry, she makes a living doing it, and quite frankly people who are such social butterflies don't make for long term relationship types because they will always have a hard time getting to know someone because all they have are acquaintances or networking contacts. She rubs elbows with the local city business owners at nightclubs, high scale lounges, reserves spots for Meetup events, even the "dating game" themed ones, too. Surprisingly she did a couple of Bonfire events, didn't think she was the type to be the "outdoors" variety. lol Of course she was more dressed in "snowbunny" attire, the same kind of attire you'd see people wearing in the city of Aspen, CO. They don't have time to even establish friendships much less relationships. I actually met one of these types of women. Apparently a male friend of mine invited a couple of women we knew pretty well, and they invited a 3rd one...she was originally from Miami, early 40's , attractive single mother. We exchanged phone #'s, I said I was a sales person for some product, and she later called me and was interested in some of my products. I asked her if she had a FB account and while on the phone when I attempted to add her, she already had 5,000 friends through Facebook. 5 K? Who needs THAT many friends, but since she's in the "marketing/networking" industry, I guess that's part of the job, but figured that wouldn't it be better to just have a separate Facebook account for that kind of thing? When I told her that Facebook did not accept past 5,000, on the phone with she removed someone in order to let me in. LOL Never saw this woman again, even though I was out with the friends that originally invited her out that one night...I had asked if they ever tried to get her to come out with us anymore, but apparently even THEY didn't know her whereabouts. I guess these "types" prefer the online dating venue because they prefer it being more impersonal and "Will get to you when it's only convenient to them" types.

I've seen so many women online with an axe to grind, it makes me nauseous to read their profiles. Their profiles ooze sarcasism , condescension, etc. They seem to almost be hate filled. "Don't email me if you're ugly? What's with all the ugly men emailing me?!" Or, "Quit asking me the same questions, so here's a frequently asked questions list ...." Yes, some women even put FAQ's in their profiles. lol
