Online dating can kiss my @$$!!!
I was encouraged to try it out, paid for a months subscription, and....yeh. Waste of bloody time.
this one chick told me she didnt reply to me the first time because I just said "hi how are you?" I replied "well, what do you expect, a novel?" Because most of the time no one ever replies, or if they do, its just, 'fine' 'good' or 'not bad'. No hint of a conversation anywhere.
I'm tired of reading all the expectations on people's profiles.
Then theres the idiots on there who are just looking for freinds. Then piss off of the website then as its a DATING website.
So bollocks to online dating, its a joke. I'd rather meet someone in person or try my luck in the real world.
Oh and in the past I did meet up with about 3 women on different occasions. Not one of them looked like they did in their photos and 2 of them were complete weirdo's.
I'm basing my experience on the lack of human contact on that website, and the others I've tried. "Hey lets make an account and reply with 2 word sentences!!! YEEH!!!"
Rant over I guess.

That's the topic I wanted to ask earlier but never did, I think...
The topic, about compatibility versus chemistry.
Step one.
spot girl
Step two.
talk to girl
Step three.
if it seem she is someone you could like ask her out for dinner, do not go to a movie because you will not be able to talk during one... take her bowling or mini golf something like that.... Second date take her to a movie or live theater.
Step four..
if the date didn't go very well... start over at step one.
This is important... learn to have a thick skin and not take rejection personally... realize that despite all your good qualities you'll just not be what people are looking for... Remember when that happens to you, you'll have done it to someone else.. Its just human nature.
Do not get discouraged.. unless you're super attractive you WILL get turned down.. girls get hit on a lot more than guys so they have the benefit of being picky.
DO NOT use stupid pickup lines... they're lazy and girls do not find them as clever as we do.
Back to the point I was trying to make; like Samuel L Jackson says, personality goes a long way. Make people know who you are, what you like and how you react to your surroundings. Don't try to be carbon copies of douchebags. In this way you can even find a significant other while playing an MMORPG. Sure, yes, that kind of games are full of Guys-In-Real-Life, but I know more than just one couple, living happily as we talk, whose first meeting was in a machine forest surrounded by high quality sparkly sword sellers and tree monsters.
hahahahahahahaaha.
Internet gf's or gf's you met in person too?
Thanks. Are you female by any chance?
I don't get offended or upset if i'm turned down, It actually relieves me then I don't have to think about that woman anymore and move onto the next target...I mean prey...I mean woman.
I gave this chick I like my number to her freind to give her as I had no chance to see or give it to her at work today. Usually we have the same break times but I've moved position and now we don't. Apparently she was asking about me today hehehe but watever I bet she doesn't txt meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! LOL.
Maybe thats the problem, I am ME. But hey if they are not interested in knowing me then vice versa.
We met in person and began dating.
However that had no influence on my decision to take the class >_> <_< >_>
Dating is tough, man. But you can meet someone awesome anywhere you go. Like irishmile says- don't ever be afraid to go up and talk to somebody, and don't get discouraged when you're turned down. Unless they have a ing on their (right ring) finger, you have no idea if they're in a relationship, or what they're like. Rejection is a part of the game, and it will happen, believe me.
On a different note, and don't take it personally- please do the boards a courtousey and use the edit button and add in what you want to say if no-one's replied yet. Multiple pots clog up the boards and can create zombie treads. Zombies may be cool, but zombie threads aren't.
Irishmile is a manly, married man with two... oh wait, THREE kids, twin girls and one boy? Am I right?
BTW, Lonnie, you can multiquote people by using the "+" button on the lower right of posts. No need to post four times.
My other friend says chicks are stupid,
can't understand normal thinking...
My third guy friend says chicks are...
*sighs*
It's true, so many women just can't CHILL OUT. You go to talk to them and it's so INSANE. It's like are you trying to pick me up ARE YOU ARE YOU!!!
Or it's like you never made a move *BEEP YOU!*
Seriously, why can't chicks just calm down, relax, hang loose? It's always some sort of big deal to them. Guys can hang out, calm down, Chillax...
Every damn woman I talk to makes it difficult to talk to her because she's either playing some game, being moody. bossy, or something...
There's the honest, dark hearted truth from your friend, man...
Irishmile is a good man, I won't have any one say anything less about him.
When you're dating you're wishing you had a girlfriend. When you've got a girlfriend you miss the thrill of dating.
Enjoy it while you can.
Seconded. One forum I went to a few years back might as well have been a dating site, the way we were all pairing off. I ended up meeting no less than three women there. (that sounds player-ish, but it just kind of happened naturally for the first and third, and we are still good friends. The second was the only one I actively sought after, and the breakup was so devastating that I still haven't shaken it off completely. All three were fantastic while it lasted, though.)
But seriously, I don't see what the big deal is about all these dating things.
Why are some people really that desperate to go actively seeking physical and emotional parter to maintain some kind of personal stability?
I guess if one has never been in a relationship before, then one can't really know how the experience feels.
Not that I wouldn't want to give dating and relationships a go, I'm just afraid I wouldn't gel with anyone (as I am a very strange individual, plus I have odd tastes. Most of the women I ever fancy are either strong willed or smart, but still moderately attractive, normally blond. 90% of those are normally very happy dominating their dopey partner (trust me they are ALWAYS dopey skinny gits, that basically do everything for their girls at the snap of a finger)).
But I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I've gone this long without a female companion, I don't desperately need one.
Besides, I always chicken out just before I ever tell a girl I like what I think about them anyway, (Oh logic, you can be such an encumberance sometimes...).
I think part of my attitude must have something to do with my childhood.
I remember I was relentlessly stalked and teased by a girl I fancied.
I was never sure if her advances were just a joke or were genuine, but I obviously assumed the former, and never asked her out out of fear of embarrasment.
(Plus I was bullied back then, and something like this could have made it much worse, so I was extra cautious!)
Just thinking about it gives me a headache, even now! Xp
Have you considered the fact that you might be a part of the problem instead of blaming an entire gender? That or you just have had bad luck. Or you're overreacting.
I'd like to blame a majority of humanity by their way of thinking rather than blaming a type as a whole by their hormonal and bodily structure. Blaming an entire gender for your own failure is wrong but I wouldn't say blaming a majority is a wrong way of criticizing.
Did you ever consider that all girls are evil? See fig. 1
Guys typically don't expect women to pay for dinner and stuff for them... unless they're douchebags. Just saying.
Not likely, chicks probably get emotional and attach feelings early on and take things too seriously. So, when you're talking to them and you don't make them feel beautiful/ attractive, they get all insecure and starting eating tubs of ice cream and spend the night crying on the bed because they have a exam tomorrow and the tough girl act is wearing thin and their stressed want a man there to hold them and make them feel good about their selves...
Irishmile, the grown gentleman. Seriously, I respect what you say.
Whatever man, if you say so about women, though...They seem a bit more on the heavy side of things if you ask me.
...And what makes women not douchebags for expecting guys to pay for their dinners?
Wow. Holy shit.
You should stop sourcing your information about women from movies and tv.
That's what happens when people have never been on dates and are forced to use TV to learn about ladies. :P
I might argue it's actually science. The tub of ice cream, hormones...the motherly instincts...the need to be a mother, etc etc. I'd say it's likely of most women that they are in fact this way and so when you don't find them attract, they get jealous, or spite you.
And.. if a woman is chivalrous towards a male so, the guy's being a douchebag?
You know, you keep talking about having woman troubles. The fact that you think of women this way and using a veil of pseudo science to justify it only tells me why you have such troubles.
Men typically make 10% more in their lifetime then women do. This is obviously unfair. Therefore, it makes more sense to expect men to follow tradition and just pay for the goddamn date. I have never asked a woman I've dated to pay for anything. It's just bad form.
Pretty much this, it's just not done like
I find it a bit bizarre that some guys complain about "wasting" money on their girlfriends. Then they insist on being the sole payer of excursions.
A. Ugly chicks, needy, jealous.
B. Pretty chicks, normal sane chicks, most date-able material, slightly jealous at times. Best type of chick to date.
C. Hot chicks, crazy chicks, just crazy chicks...
Stupid. Whenever I'm on a date or whatever, I pay for my own things. Occasionally when I'd be low on cash, they'd pay for me, but I'd do the same for them.
Brilliant!
I would like to see the look on a girls face when I suggest she pay for the meal in the name of gender equality. Anyway, I doubt who pays for dinner is what's keeping women down really at the end of the day
Nonsense
I knew it! My test has caught one!
Say the right things at the right time but NOT THE WRONG...
