I know it's pathetic... I actually put a lot of effort into my profile. The guys were either perverts or hard-core religious (I'm talking Branch Davidian kind of shit)--no in between. I never actually met anybody; they were just too fucking weird.
You're anything but pathetic, sweetie...and neither am I.I'm out there looking in cyberspace too, Platinum. Your complaint is common, as most guys think that the women on dating sites are desperate. My profile is freakin' awesome, if I do say so myself; but what I encounter all too frequently is women who are attracted to me physically (can't imagine why, lol!), but have obviously never read my profile all the way. Good luck in your search though.
alright I spent about a year doing the personal ad thing and it was pretty much a bust. Then this chick pinged me and I fell for her, now 4 years later we're married and she still rocks my world on a daily basis.
Yes I tried it too. Same old story I guess. The women I found on the CyberSite all seem to be emotional cripples from previous bad marriages and relationships. The women I talked (email) to didn't trust men in general and especially the ones from the internet. Yet they seem to be looking for the same kind of jerks that tramatized them in the first place. It looks like the only single women on the internet are divorced, why is that I wonder. There are also, as pointed out by Lady "P", a bunch of over the top religious nit-wits who are in their own little idealistic world. I only met a handful of ladies that I talked to beyond introductions, and of that I only dated one lady twice. Nice lady, just not my type. Overall, other than a few success stories, I don't think most of us will meet Ms/Mr right in cyberSpace at one of these sites. I am cancelling my membership at the end of this year. I guess the next move is to join "Loosers Anonymous" Good luck to anyone else though... * *
Worst places to meet someone: Clubs, bars, jail, and internet dating sites. Everywhere else should be fair game.
Hey, I think jail is a great place to meet someone, as long as your both in for the same thing that is. You'll always have that in common. I have tried it, went on one date with one woman, definantly not my type. Went on a date with another and was with her for almost a year and a half. I still talk to one of the women that I met online, never met in person but we chat about all sorts of things online. So there is hope, ya just gotta treat it like a bar I would say. There are lots of freaks, geeks, jerks, and nut jobs in there, and maybe a gem or 2. Good luck, we all need some of that.
A good friend of mine was literally addicted to dating sites/services. He met some of the biggest lulus on those things-the girls (and him, too) were constantly misrepresenting themselves. Later on he suddenly developed health problems, and a number of the girls he met ended up falling for me instead of him, adding more complications to an already wacky situation! After the crazy experiences he had with those things, I swore I'd NEVER get in to dating sites/services. And I never have.
Just out of curiosity, I went to that plentyoffish.com site-looks like plenty of meat to me-in other words, just the same old meat market mentality that's in those dating sites/services. I used to tell my friend that it was like he was shopping for potatoes at the grocery store. Well, potatoes, meat, fish, whatever-the whole thing just doesn't interest me at all. I'd rather run into somebody, more or less by accident, that I've actually got something in common with, than to waste all that time and energy actively looking, at least that way. Sorry.
