Well, I've read: http://vrchristensen.com/http:/vrch...r-alternative-courthsip-in-the-victorian-era/

(it goes on and on)

I don't think people on dating sites are so bold - but 'courtship' via print or as now is the case via the Internet is the same. Perhaps just on a bigger scale.

I would imagine some of the creators of dating sites will suggest it is because of the busy lives we all lead, and the lack of time we have to meet people.

If you do it right, you can sift out the nutters.
Especially because of Facebook/social media.
You can see what people are like when they are not talking to you in particular.

Me too.

What are you doing next Saturday?

 

noway!

 

Matt, like I said before, I share your (great) disdain for PoF. But some of the girls I have met on OKC are actually pretty decent/cool. You still get a lot of POF-esque shit but look for the foreign woman especially, not too bad.

Been out of a serious relationship for a while, (was engaged more than 2 year ago) but at least had some nice dates and a few friendships evolve because of that site in the past 2 years. still prefer non Internet ways to meet people. but yah.

good luck!

 

thank god!


thats all we need is more nutcases looking to date online.

 

On behalf of all nutcases-
we are not offended

 

I tried it sometimes when I was younger. To be honest, it sucked. The people that I've met (in real life, via internet) all turned out to be different than they pretended online.
Maybe dating via internet can work, I don't know, guess it depends on whether someone is honest and open to you or not. And, ofcourse, what you expect from the person and situation that you're about to meet.

 

Imagine if you found the love of your life because of my thread!!

Good luck!

Try not to be defensive.

 

will let you know

 

I know I have :love:

 

anyone watch american horror story? some guy that looks like zachary quinto (plays 'bloody face') keeps creeping on my okcupid profile pretty much everyday...
he's in nor cal though so I think I'm safe...
other than that, okc is pretty boring right now
well I did talk with this geeky guy last night that is really into psychedelics and alternate universes..so that was fun

 

or weirdos thank god,that are'nt even half as hot as me :rofl:

 

Why do people either have to be too weird or too normal? Where is there middle ground?

 

Have you ever took a step back and had a look at your:

• Musical taste.
• Eating habits.
• World view.

?

 

Hey, FU buddy.

 

Sure...but only online! My fiance would KILL me. (But feel free to sext me....LOL)

 

If everyone ate like me, the world would be a better place.

Keep eating your processed food you nasty fucks.

lol

 

Why?

It's not criticism/judgement - it's what people have to do when they ask such questions as you do.
What does not make you 'normal' or 'weird' - what makes you a happy balance of both?
I believe the term is 'quirky'.
Women are going to judge you as you do them, and will determine if you are for them.
I would imagine a lot of people - including myself - seek a woman that are 'quirky'.
Or, if you wish, pretty much the same people we are.
It might be the case that there are not many women that fall into OUR definitions.
But that also means WE do not fall into theirs.

 

Perhaps.

But you have to find a woman that does not think that eating raw eggs is odd.

The point is, the more 'different' your behaviour - the less women there are to choose from.
Perhaps there should be more women like you (god help us) but it seems there are not.
Most people find their partners within 100 miles of where they live.
The more you narrow the field - the less you have to choose from.

It's simple maths, really.

All I'm saying is look within as well as look out.

I'm sure you know this.

 

calm down boys!

 

I am calm. I think PR needs a good man in his life - that was not an offer, btw.
