SolG Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 HAHAHAHA...I actually never thought about sending a another d*ck pic in response!!! LOVE IT! I'm twitching with anticipation. The next wont know what hit him And yes, I agree with you in that some of these guys can be highly entertaining. I've been around online for a long time now (and I'm not talking about just OLD) and such I've encounter SCADS of questionable characters with all sorts of agendas. I've learned a thing or two and very little shocks me, surprises me or even offends me anymore. I've seen it all pretty much. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to play games and other times I enjoy taking the bait and seeing how far these guys are willing to go. Just depends on my mood and the amount of time I have to invest OLD really is far more about entertainment than than anything productive in my humble opinion. Or at least that's what it feels like anymore. Shame. If you really want tp have some fun find a pic of porn proportions and write, 'Ha! Mine's bigger!' :-D Disclaimer: Responses vary; be ready to block. Meh. OLD is still a novelty to me as I started using it less than a year ago. I don't take it too seriously. Then again, I don't take dating in general too seriously. But I do take people seriously, if you get the distinction. I don't go into any interraction with anyone in this context with a checklist of expectations beyond the most basic. I'm not interviewing a prospective partner, I'm meeting a new person. And every new person is a mystery and every new meeting an adventure. I dunno... I just think that too many people focus on what's NOT in front of them and in doing so miss what is. They may not be the man or woman of your dreams, but he or she could be a potential friend (of any variety) or even just a gawd awful story to laugh about later. In any case I think it pays to be kind. I truly beleive that 99 per cent of the people out there are fundamentally good. And there's billions of them to meet! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SolG Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I just think that too many people focus on what's NOT in front of them and in doing so miss what is This is the stuff right here. That sums up online dating in a single sentence to me! To be clear though... I'm not saying don't be discerning. Absolutely do be! What I actually mean is that when you decide to chat, text, call or meet someone there's generally something that caused you to do so. And sometimes we lose sight of that something because we build this big list of expectations around what we don't know that becomes more important than what we do. That way almost certain disappointment eventuates. For example. Hot guy on Tinder with amusing profile. Swipe right. We match. Chat is amusing. All I know at this stage is that he's hot and funny. I give him my number. He sends a [penis] pic. New info! He's hot, funny and for some reason sends [penis] pics. So we chat about why. New info! He's hot, funny... and also young and clueless. We chat about the fact that even casual can and should be classy; and how dick pics will negatively affect his hit rate. New info. Hot, funny, and TOO young and clueless for me. We mutually say thanks that was fun, goodbye and good luck. Now it could've gone like this... Hot guy with amusing profile. Swipe right and match. Have fun chatting. Wow! He seems great. Can't wait to meet him in person. I'm sensing this connection. He's really eager with all the chat. He must really like me! I wonder where our first date will be? I think he's a counter meal at a boutique bar kinda guy. He's so funny and attractive... my friends will love him! His body is to die for... but I'm still going to wait until we've been dating for three months until I have sex with him. Don't want to come across as too easy. This is so great! Something to look forward to when I get home from hols. This is so promising. Yay! He asked for my number. He's going to ask me out soon! WTF? A [penis] pic? *******! Block. Have a big sulk about OLD and men today. How DARE they not all be ready and able to meet MY expectations at the drop of a hat?! If you see what I mean...

Author Michelle ma Belle Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I did it! Some nob sent me a [penis] pic. Told me it was my turn to send him a pic. I found a champion [penis] pic of my own and sent it telling him I had a secret...that I was really a man! Never heard from him again I think I'm on to something!!!

GunslingerRoland Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It's interesting to see what OLD is these days. I met my wife on the internet 20 years ago and back then internet dating was interesting because it was on forums or chat rooms like this and you got to know people before even seeing their pictures. It wasn't perfect not by any stretch, but it was the opposite of meeting in the club where you were drawn to people purely by looks. Now it seems like OLD is just meeting at the club where the best looking people get all of the attention and no one focuses on the internal of who people are. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I've done that in a manner of speaking in person w/strapons ....guy sexes me up and over the course indicates he's very "sizeable," then when it goes down I pop out of the restroom wielding an invariably larger unit .... You could do that in OLD too Michelle - show him what you've got and tell him you expect him to bend for you. (Tho you never know, he might take you up on it!) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TheArtist Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 OK this is a short one. I've just been looking on POF and found possibly the worst profile ever. About Me: N/A Well, it's original I suppose. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Michelle ma Belle Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Guess who came back? Mr. Catfish!!! Yep. He emailed me this morning. Apparently his profile was deactivated or something and admin helped him get it back online (huh!). He told me that he made a video of himself holding a piece of paper with my name and date on it and will make reference to things we chatted about!! I told him I'm waiting with baited breath Oh, this should be fun!! Stay tuned.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

WaitingForBardot Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 ... I told him I'm waiting with baited breath ... Kay, I'm not normally so pedantic, but this is my favorite misused homonym error, because of the potentially hilarious double entendre...

AmericanHoney Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I am having the worst luck on tinder. I get matches I attempt to talk to the potential matches and nothing I had tons of luck on POF but tinder maybe I am too old but I am simply striking out. All of my other friends say yes I had tons of tinder dates we talked blah blah blah but me I strike out:rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites
Author Michelle ma Belle Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm struggling with my desire to hold steadfast regarding my search for a mate who is within my preferred age range (40-50) and caving to the wicked temptation of the young men online. So many handsome young devils, dammit! It also doesn't help that the majority of the men around my age with whom I've been chatting are dreadful conservationists compared to many of the younger men AND even more shady and inappropriate. Young men are in bloody abundance online and so damn eager and charming which makes it difficult to keep my wits about me. 80% of the attention I've been getting are from men between 21-34, and we all know those will go nowhere apart from some good old fashioned fun. So I've met a couple of lovely (very) young men who have managed to seriously wet my whistle and I've been contemplating taking a lover (or two) in the meantime Not exactly what I had planned or really wanted but as they say, when in Rome... 3 Link to post Share on other sites

VintageWine Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) So far with me online dating, I'm using OKC and like everyone else, getting a lot of likes, but compare it to my messages, no. At this point no guy really caught my attention like that, there's this one guy that I met, went on a date on, it was fun and nice. Long conversation but I'm just not interested in him. To be honest, it becomes draining with online dating, after awhile, the conversations through messaging is fun but then when you meet them and it's a different story. That or their profile doesn't meet to who they are when you meet them. It would be nice to meet someone that captures my interest and such.

StBreton Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Haven't been on OLD for many months. Met someone IRL and just realized we don't have the compatibility I'm looking for and just this evening got on a dating site. My profile isn't visible and I just contact the people I want. So in 1 hour, I contacted 5 people...had a conversation with 4 of them and set up 3 dates for this weekend. One of the guys has issues with being conversant...like he didn't ask questions. I called him on it and said "hey I noticed you don't ask any questions, if you're not interested in me, let me know...no worries" ... I didn't call guys on that behavior last year...this time I have zero patience for it...and I have no issues if they say "not interested" So far, I didn't set anything up with Mr. Has issues with give and take conversation but he started talking a lot more after I mentioned his lack of conversational skills. Last year, I'd spend a few days messaging, then phone then possibly set up a date. This time I'm cutting to the chase and dispensing with the whole build up of false intimacy...less of a let down if things don't work out...so after a few messages this evening, I mentioned meeting for coffee etc. Dates set up: Going out for Mexican tomorrow night, sushi Friday night and a drink this weekend. Not sure if anything will come of this time on OLD, but I'm looking forward to being out there again. Let the craziness begin...but I feel like I'm a much more savvy dater than I was just after the divorce...and like I said earlier...I'm at the point where I put my cards on the table and call guys on their BS...then let them go so they can find someone who has really low standards. Wish me luck! Edited January 21, 2016 by StBreton 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Must be nice, lol. Think you can handle that much in one weekend? I prefer to schedule my dates at least a few days apart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
