*sigh* dating drought

[AdminAssistant]

Plentyoffish is lame. I set up an account on OKCupid, though, and....when it rains, it pours. That's all I'm saying. sheesh

yea i see you're from central jersey ... dunno how often you go to the shore but those fist bumping bennys dont do it for me either :P hahaha

Hehe, I mentioned this in another thread, but last night I found, on iTunes, the song "Seaside Tony" by 7Minds. I've been looking for it on and off for years. Don't know where you are, but the radio station FM106.3 (which became G106.3 then GROCK and now plays Top 40 crap ), way back when, used to play it in the summer. If you've never heard it you should check it out. You'll appreciate it.

I like OkCupid......but I've never really used it for mate safari ( Though I've gotten a wink or two from....creatures ). I mainly like the quizzes. >.>

It's been going well...and sucking up a lot of time. However, a quick tutorial for guys on looking for women online. First of all the picture. The subject of the picture should be you...preferably you by yourself. Avoid making gang signs, the sideways 'deuce', flipping off the camera, and the "shocker" in your profile pic. Avoid pictures of you with a woman, particularly scantily clad ones who look like they're members of the world's oldest profession.

Actually talk about yourself on your page. That's why it's there. You may also want to try crazy things like grammer and spelling. Talking about how much you ZOMG LOVE POOORRRRNNN isn't turning me on. Neither is "if you can't run a mile or have sex on top for 5 minutes don't message me". Even if I weren't a little pudgy and out of shape, I'd turn you down just for being an asshole.

Most of the ones I've read are actually pretty good. Chatted with a few people, feeling optomistic. Maybe.

Okcupid seemed to work real well for me at first. But, I guess I've run out of anyone with 500 miles of me. The people it picks are either really far away, or in no way compatible with me.

could be worse...
singlesnet matched me with... myself... I still laugh about that one to this day

Me too. Wasn't it like a 95% match or something?

[smileyeagle1021]

yes Bella, it was only like a 95% match... which I thought was funny that they didn't think I was 100% compatible with myself
(well, I do have a bit of a self esteem problem that I don't like, so I guess the do have a point )

Not as ridiculous, but still funny....yahoo personals, on several occasions, tried to match me with one of my exes. To be fair to them, she is outrageously hot, and we do have some common interests....but I still found it funny.

I think both of those sites are a waste of time.

Then again, I'll never use a dating site again. What was the last dating site I used.....datehookup.com.........wow, talk about some DESPERATE people!

I never got a single wink from anyone less than 500 miles away from me, never a wink from anyone less than 10 years older than me, the worst was a message from some guy my grandfather's age describing in great detail all the things he'd love to do to such a beautiful young lady such as me......gaaaah!!!

On OKCupid and POF....blech. Most of them were losers. Losers, desperate losers. Sending me a message about how great my tits are or asking me to come meet you and fuck you......get a life. Get out of your mother's basement, and put down the Hustler.

ONE TIME did I meet a great guy off the internet (POF). He looked just like Jesse Bradford (from Bring It On and Swimfan). I was..18 or 19, he was a few years older. We met at Borders (bookstore) and had some iced coffees and then we went to Coldstone for ice cream. Then we sat around for a few hours talking. It was a great time.

And I never heard from him again.

Well, it's not my preferred method...I'd rather meet people in real life, the way you're "supposed" to. But that method tends to yield long periods of being single and really lonely. And in a major college town, trying to pick the 28 year old townies from the 21-22 year old college boys is a challenge.

[Shards]

Hey! I live in a college town. I'm a 19 (woo!) year old undergrad boy.

I dunno what my point was with that... Although upon looking over your post again I think I just wanted to point out that the periods of being lonely seem longer than they are, and are still preferable to a negative relationship. I know, I'm in one of the longer ones (droughts, not bed relationships) since I left middle school...

[Gravekeeper]

Well, it's not my preferred method...I'd rather meet people in real life, the way you're "supposed" to.

I look at it the other way around. The statistical chances of actually meeting someone compatible without any deal breaker qualities utterly at random in day to day life is pretty low.

But I mean the tactless cockthinking Fleshlight champions you're encountering on online are at bars, clubs, etc too. Its not a unique phenomena. There's simply a select, painfully obvious sub group of the male gender whose thought process really doesn't get behind "HOLY SHIT! TITS!" and they exist everywhere.

Its not unique to the interwebs. ><

Um, exactly, Shards. My University takes a very dim view of Teaching Assistants dating undergraduates. (We're not really supposed to date faculty, either.) It's allowed as long as it's not your student, but highly discouraged.

I guess what I was trying to say is that I'd rather meet someone in real life, through a friend, at a bar, or...something. But it just never happens. I don't look ZOMG HAWT so I don't turn any heads or catch anyone's attention. Just the way it is.
