Post your adventures here.

<= Found a sadist on http://www.adultfriendfinder.com , went on a date, had a good time, never met him again after. I was 19 and stupid.

10/26/2008 12:12:57 PM

E-harmony told me that they couldn't pair me with anyone cause I was "weird"

10/26/2008 12:17:49 PM

Hahah, seedless said he signed up for a test account to see how it worked. He didn't like their format for questions.

10/26/2008 12:18:39 PM

I tried a Craigslist strictly platonic ad a couple times, it seems mostly fuglies or spambots respond though

OTOH, my roommate pulled mad play off of match.com, and gave me his account when he met his current girl, I should set that up LOL

Online dating is bullshit becasue you give out too much info and the person forms an opinion about you before even saying on word to you.

10/26/2008 12:21:10 PM

e-desperation

i didnt think they accepted gays.

Hahah. All data and no personality. It's definately the Age of Information.

10/26/2008 12:23:33 PM

yeah they said I was 1 in 4

and they didn't know what to think of me

10/26/2008 12:24:06 PM

The day that I need a questionnaire to tell me that they can't hook me up cause I'm weird, I will find the tallest building ever and jump off of it.

10/26/2008 12:26:17 PM

people use these things?

I mean, if one of them offered a free assessment, I might fill out the survey just to see what shit they categorized me as, but there's an extremely slim chance I'd actually date someone I found through them.

10/26/2008 12:27:05 PM

hey, its got to be encouraging to have a second opinion, though, right? at least you know it's not because you're not trying or something

10/26/2008 12:27:11 PM

A second opinion? Haha.

10/26/2008 12:28:24 PM

I don't think it's possible to even try and start characterizing and grouping people in order to form a match...

10/26/2008 12:29:14 PM

Exactly you just never know who you might liking or falling in love with.

10/26/2008 12:30:07 PM

^^AU CONTRAIRE

I imagine an approach involving naive Bayes classification would probably work fairly well for some people, and is probably similar to what they're doing

Lol, you've gotta be shitting me.

10/26/2008 12:34:01 PM

^^Get the fuck outta here, LOL. Whatever happened to just going up to a person and talking to them, and gradually letting them get to know you, versus pretty much writing a goddamn resume to see I qualify as a potential date? Haha, online dating is so pathetic, and dehumanizes us on so many levels.

[Edited on October 26, 2008 at 12:34 PM. Reason : /]

10/26/2008 12:34:41 PM

And nobody has yet to say they haven't tried it.

10/26/2008 12:35:09 PM

ive fucked a chick from okcupid, she was a solid 9

10/26/2008 12:36:08 PM

Are you still tapping it?

10/26/2008 12:36:35 PM

i can when i want, weird thing, she hit me with a text about 30 mins ago. i dont too much, im not really tryin to date her or anything

10/26/2008 12:37:41 PM

Well I used the 3 day trial with match.com and banged a chick, lol. She was about 7.5, and we still text a little, but she gave me the initial impression that she wants a baby (not by me per se) but that made me a little paranoid.

10/26/2008 12:39:20 PM

Hahah, hit it while you're ahead.

10/26/2008 12:39:40 PM

Well, clearly fucking chicks is pathetic and dehumanizing.

10/26/2008 12:39:45 PM

wow, yea i wont hit this chick without a rubber on, but it actually took a few dates and shit, she didnt give it up right away. i hit it right haha and i can really do no wrong. i could not talk to her for 2 weeks and call her and shed still want it.

10/26/2008 12:41:11 PM

Yes, it is But it was free! I just stopped after that, because it just didn't feel right.

^ I hit on the second date. She came over to my place just to watch a movie (yeah right).

[Edited on October 26, 2008 at 12:42 PM. Reason : /]

10/26/2008 12:41:26 PM

not really but theres a clear line between chicks youre just gonna fuck, and chicks you wanna date. when i date a girl i am straight up loyal, but ill whore it up a lil bit when single

[Edited on October 26, 2008 at 12:42 PM. Reason : hahah the movie date is an instant classic]

10/26/2008 12:42:34 PM

Walking up to a chick and talking has stood the test of time, and it just flat out works! I recommend trying it today

10/26/2008 12:43:58 PM

Well, with your nose, of course it works.

Women are usually more impressed with a man's physical presence.

10/26/2008 12:44:22 PM

What do you mean by that?

10/26/2008 12:44:42 PM

You have a nice nose. WTF.

^^ Oh really? I will try to use that to my advantage more often

10/26/2008 12:46:28 PM

Wait, do they have you put your work experience and shit up there, or the like? I'd disqualify instantly.

10/26/2008 12:46:41 PM

LOL and education would fuck up lots of people too

Yeah I like to show off my broad shoulders and chest. Women like strong looking men, so they will feel protected by them.

10/26/2008 12:48:11 PM

some of the Indian "dating" sites for parents looking to hook their kids up with an arranged marriage have employment, etc

it's downright creepy

[Edited on October 26, 2008 at 12:49 PM. Reason : ^ I think you got your causality a bit backwards with that last statement, lol]

10/26/2008 12:48:33 PM

as dorky as I am, i've honestly never signed up for any dating website. im sure they ask career questions though. that would be the first column i sorted through (OK ...ruling out kids and an abnormal amount of dogs ((>2))would be my first search).

10/26/2008 12:48:48 PM

there are too many guys smiling at other guys in this thread

10/26/2008 12:49:26 PM

What do you have against dogs?

This is another point - you have standards and you are online trying to find a date? HAHA That's like the story some guy told here about a Dutch hooker would not suck his friend's dick becasue he was black... wow.

10/26/2008 12:53:44 PM

Isn't that the whole point of going online though? Removing the immediacy of another person so you can pick and choose among thousands at your leisure?

And taking that into account, why do most people fall in love in the first place? Not what drew them together (i.e. artistic taste, mutual interests, etc), but what caused them to be connected permanently? It's not quantifiable.

10/26/2008 12:54:22 PM

Oprah has 4 (or 6) dogs and is single - does this qualify as weird?

I don't think that analogy is very fitting.

emotional trauma

there needs to be a dating site that includes a travel component where you meet people and then vacation in war zones with them - those relationships will last a lifetime

10/26/2008 12:56:55 PM

vetloveandseek.com !

10/26/2008 12:57:43 PM

^^^I do. If you are online dating you obviously suck at life in regards to talking to people, and you are fairly desperate. I have did it, just to try it and see what happens, and its just to artificial.

[Edited on October 26, 2008 at 12:58 PM. Reason : /]

10/26/2008 12:57:57 PM

okcupid.com is free.

10/26/2008 1:04:08 PM

^^Well, you obviously suck at life and talking to people by your own logic.

Seriously, the requisite ability to use a computer and write literately disqualifies a lot of people from online dating. Some people don't like bobbing for apples in a bucket of shit, which is roughly what I'd compare the bar scene to. Nobody's forcing you to use online dating services, but if you think you're a better person because you "feel weird" using them, you're an anachronistic fucktard and a douche to boot
