see, i don't know if i could deal with that constantly... I have several friends who have done the match.com (and other sites) and heard some of the horror stories that have arisen. Although I do know at least 2 people who have found real deal marriage material from it,I just don't think I could deal with all the BS that comes along with it

7/4/2009 11:38:49 AM

free trip to Colorado doesn't sound too bad.

7/4/2009 11:40:25 AM

oh i didnt realize u were on match. I'm on there too.


Sorry ur meeting clingy dudes. Ya if a girl said that to me on second date i'd be a little worried too. Truthfully the dude sounds like he's just really insecure with himself.


Fortunately, though, I can vouch there are some good guys on there....at least me anyways


Also, if I were u, I'd probably slow down on the # of dates and be a little more picky with who u meet. I think you have a much better chance of finding someone you can really connect with that way.


Last year I kinda went with teh shotgun approach adn went out with several girls. In a way it was kinda fun cause I don't date that much so that was cool, but looking back on it I really wasted a lot of time meeting women i really had no interest in.

This year I've slowed down a bit and don't really email anyone unless I think i'd actually like them. I've met 2 girls this year. The first date I went on she and I clicked within the first five minutes and we dated for 3 weeks with literally zero problems. Then I had to leave for vacation for 3 weeks and we basically agreed to just stay friends and see how things were when I came back. When i got back she was seeing someone else, so I was a little disappointed, but we stayed friends, and she recently stopped seeing the guy cause he was a douche (of course) and I think we might give it a try again...at least i hope

Second girl i met was last thursday. By far she was the hottest girl I've ever gone out on a date with. That includes my junior year crush in high school, tarren, who really just went out with me to be nice. Anyways, that date went really well and we're gonna go out again. She was a very nice girl.


So ya. I've only gone out on 2 dates this year but it's also been 100% success rate and I've liked both girls and they liked me. Hmm I wonder which one I'll be choosing? hehe



Also, I recommend first date always be just drinks. Just go and meet the guy and don't do dinner or any other kinda date, just meet for drinks. It's MUCH easier that way especially if he sucks, u can just bail. And if you both connect, then u can always do dinner or something else later


and of course, any dude that is asking u to be exclusive on the second date is obv a weirdo, lol



happy hunting

^ Could be fun. But a free trip to Colorado is never really "free". You will pay in boo-tay.

Another piece of pure gold:

" hi how u doing, my name is mike and i think we have lots in common and could possibly hit it off. i have no photo cuz my comp is broke, im using my roomates if u could send me your email ill like to send you a pic of me to your email. i look forward to hear from you. "

And I'm definitely being picky. I'm getting probably 15 emails per day, with one really, really good one each day. The one tomorrow and the next day are really solid guys. And I know one of them in IRL. We're doing a pool and vino date. But I have known him for several months, so no worries.

My roomie did the shotgun approach. And now she's moving in with her top match after 4 months of dating.

7/4/2009 11:51:54 AM

^^ You're hot. I like a man who can handle power tools. Bring your chainsaw and I'll bring my ski mask. It's a date.

All the emails I ever send to girls are literally

"you look cute" followed by a simple question that's something I read in the profile. It's all you need. In fact, any girl that emails me first with a long introduction I have never replied to. Just not my thing.


the one line 'hey whats up' style email is the best by far. Never introduce urself, that's why u write a fucking profile

7/4/2009 11:53:36 AM

how is this match.com thing? I might have to give it a try. Just moved to florida 3 weeks ago, not knowing anybody here sucks.

7/4/2009 11:54:26 AM

professional writer...that's pretty sexy.

so errryone is getting on this online dating train, huh?

7/4/2009 11:56:49 AM

^^^^ I disregard all "you're cute" emails. But I'm not a 10, so it's not like I really get many emails like that anyway.

Most guys email me bc they think my ad is funny. My username is "MyrtleMaude" (thx Myrtle) and here's my intro:

" I am a former supermodel who had to change careers after a freak pack mule-riding accident. Don't ask me about it. It's a sore subject. And I will never ride a pack mule again.

I've gotten a lot of interest from funny guys. Gotta weed out the ones who can't take a joke.

^^^ Where in Florida? I live in Orlando and dating is ... interesting.

Correction, 5

7/4/2009 11:58:53 AM

How long have you been in ORL? I lived there for a 1.5 years from 2005-2007.

Interesting is a good way to describe the dating scene in that city. Lot's of good partying to be had there though.

My Christopher Walken is way better than my Jack Nicholson. It might be worth the trip from orlando.

7/4/2009 12:00:00 PM

^^ Moved to O-Town in 2006. Moved to the Cape in 2007 (live-in boyfriend). Moved back here at the beginning of this year.

I love my job, but Orlando is very transient. The result? A schizo dating scene but an entertaining party scene.

^ Walken in the Fatboy Slim vid. That's what I want. Now. Youtube it. And I'm in NC on a regular basis thanks to fam.

Pensacola area. In retrospect, I should have moved to a bigger city like Orlando or Atlanta. The picking is pretty slim here.

fun profile I just checked it out


good luck!

7/4/2009 12:03:26 PM

oh and why would u disregard an email where a guy says u look cute?


i dont think its that bad. I'm not saying anythign like 'whoa ur hot lets bang', but truthfully if all i have is a few pics and a description, that's all i can go with. Also I think it's being honest and complimenting.


and lol ur a cute girl, i probably would've said hello if i were living in orlando

7/4/2009 12:06:37 PM

7/4/2009 12:07:12 PM

^^ Cute is a compliment, but I guess I'd rather be with someone who appreciates my sense of humor more than anything. Beauty fades.

7/4/2009 12:17:13 PM

what about

"cute AND funny....my kinda girl "


would that be better?

im sure ur hilarious, but i know ur cute cause i've seen pics. see?

7/4/2009 12:21:08 PM

all the chicks on match seem to have some sort of horrible problem (mostly fat)

7/4/2009 12:22:31 PM

yeah commenting on how cute the chick is based on a picture that she put up on the net should definitely be considered a compliment.

if you didn't comment, some chicks might think you DIDN'T think their pic was cute.

7/4/2009 12:22:45 PM

^^^ Ah reckon.

^^ And I've heard the same sentiment from several men. Pics don't match reality. I haven't experienced that yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

^ I assume that if they want to date me, then they must like the pics a little.

[Edited on July 4, 2009 at 12:24 PM. Reason : .]

7/4/2009 12:23:30 PM

so I guess you HAVE to put up a pic on that site?

of course pics don't match reality, but if the girl is the one picking the picture to post, they normally think that is a good picture of them. SO, on a site like that, where you have little to go on other than the pic, it's pretty much common courtesy to say something positive about the pic.

^some guys (not me because I'm so gorgeous), will see the picture of a super hot chick and not even try because they assume she's out of their league. just human nature.

[Edited on July 4, 2009 at 12:27 PM. Reason : .]

7/4/2009 12:26:25 PM

Honestly, if you don't put a pic, you prob won't get many responses.

7/4/2009 12:27:02 PM

it's amazing how many chicks put horrible picts of themselves on the site. seems like some sort of self-defeating personality trait, which is even less attractive than the bad picture.

7/4/2009 12:27:27 PM

pic isn't mandatory for the site, but i dont bother with any profiles that don't have them. Ull have 1000% better chance if u put up a pic

7/4/2009 12:27:55 PM

and i'd much rather have a picture of a girl that is less attractive than what she is in real life.


very first girl i met was easily 40lbs more than her pics she put up. It's deceitful and dishonest. All my pics are current and look like me. As i get new pics, i update and delete older pics.


btw my username is arneyd, if yall wanna check it out lemme know what u think. I appreciate any comments on making it better. A good profile goes a long way

7/4/2009 12:32:14 PM

^^^^ I think the wink function is nice for people who aren't sure if someone is attainable. You can hit on someone without really putting yourself out there.

[Edited on July 4, 2009 at 12:33 PM. Reason : .]

7/4/2009 12:32:41 PM

ive emailed girls that winked at me, but i personally never wink. I think u look a little more confident if u just go for the email first.

7/4/2009 12:33:35 PM

Seeing as how I went on a Match date last night...

I wore a polo and jeans; she wore a halter top and a long skirt. Went for dessert, then drinks, the mini-golf (though our goal was bumper cars), then back to her place.

As far as winking goes, if I think a girl is attractive, I always respond to winks. Then again, I've got a thing for women who are relatively assertive, so that makes sense. I never wink though.

7/4/2009 12:47:14 PM

call or text after first date? Should I wait a few days or do it the next day.

7/4/2009 1:21:52 PM

good question. I've had people tell me to call cause it sounds more confident, but i usually text and things work out just fine. I say text, that way u dont have to worry if she doesnt answer and u wonder what ur gonna say in a message or even leave one at all. Text is just easier and they can get back to u when they want/can


After my first date on thursday i pulled this line instead of asking for a second date

"Tell you what ill text u when i'm home to let u know, and if u wanna go out on a second date, just text me back. If not, that's totally cool and it was great meeting you "

i texted her when i got home, she texted me back like 1 minute later.

I'm probably gonna text her tomorrow and ask her to dinner sometime later this week
