Posted: 12/9/2008 3:00:46 PM | Its made me wonder where all the decent ladies are.
Because I only seem to converse with total nut jobs.
At least on my football forums we dont play games with each other. Guys are so much easier to talk to online that women. They all seem to have so many hang ups and bitter as hell that I wonder why I bother. | |

Posted: 12/9/2008 3:51:12 PM | I genuinely joined this dating site last year with the impression that ill put a full and frank discription of myself and what type of person i was looking for and it would be the key to automatically finding someone who ticked most boxes.
But i rapidley concluded after a few upsets that the vast majority of women in here just want safety in whatever form they seek it through here.
Honesty is key.
When someone pretends to be something or someone there not then they are just wasting there and my time.
For those reasons i very seldom use the dating side to date.
In real life i can make rapid judgements. It can take months online to see a persons true unattractive colours.
So my faith in what people say/think they are and what they really are has changed a lot. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 3:03:16 AM | | I agree with what you say about honesty. And like others on here , i tend to get nutters wanting to chat. I have to say i have not really met anyone for the dating side , only chats on here. I have said that i am honest and i would like to think others were too, but alas , there are so many that are not. What do people get out from lying? I came on this site looking for friends and maybe more if it happened, but i dont think i am suited to the men on here. I have lost a lot of weight and this gave me some of my confidence back, but i am beginning to think maybe i was better off not losing the weight as no one seems interested. So yes this has changed me, in so many ways . | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 8:08:21 AM | pmsl msg 53...... well it is easy to blame the net, i guess i think its just dating that has made me different. I never dated in my teens met my husband at 21 divorced at 32 so only been dating since 34 so only 5 years worth. In that time i cant say i know what i want.... i say i know what i don NOT want... that usaully comes out in the first couple of weeks... you sigh and move on  | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 9:17:08 AM | i think it has made me more jaded,and also made me a little more negative,i always thought most people were usually an honest bunch,and straight as anything,but i think a lot of the time people just tell you what they think you want to hear,when actually,the truth is all im looking for from people.
i know someone is going to think i am talking about them when i post this,but i wasnt,it was meant as a generalisation,and not a slur on a certain persons good character,she knows exactly how i feel, | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 9:38:25 AM | Yes,its taught me that i should be less trusting and especially with those who ought to know better.
I thought people in 'real life' were eager to cause trouble and sh!t stir but its even worse online.Older ones are the worst! I expect that from youngsters but not folk near pension age
Jealousy is an ugly thing IMO | |

Not having a dig Shane, but you may read to much into things,( you come across as a sensitive type) looking at one of your old posts a few weeks back you thought you had found "your missing piece" a week later you just wanted her to tell you the truth and be honest etc etc. Now its the same again, maybe you want it to much.?
not having a dig....if you want me to delete this post let me know.
Be lucky | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 9:49:19 AM | no,u are entitled to your opinion,whatever you happen to be calling yourself this week!!
i do just want people to be truthful,its not a lot to ask,i am straight with people,dont seem much to expect the same back,does it?????
yes perhaps i do want it too much,but thats what comes of being messed around over the years by very clever vindictive women,and dont get me wrong,im by no means perfect,not by a long shot,but i am honest,and thats extremely important to me | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 10:01:07 AM | Internet Dating HAS changed me ALOT
I knew from the very beginning when i first det my profile up what i wanted.. so spent AGES writing and deleting and writing and deleting until i thought it sounded exactly what i wanted...
It too me a long time to find it.. But before i found it, id be chatting to people on msn and saving the Convo, then reading it so many times and Analizing it.. to see if they was lying.. most of them were!!
The Truth has to be told.... and even if you dont tell the truth at first.. i will fathom it out!!  | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 10:08:12 AM | Occassionally i detect something blossoming and i find it very sweet.
Sometimes it decends into a public spectacle that can become embarrassing for all to witness becouse of its sheer overtness and the possibilities of it all going terribly wrong publicly.
I find no satisfaction when these things happen but occassionally i have tried to make a point in these forums that i hoped would lead to them being a little more private.
I may have looked like an ass but it was not in mallace.
Its great to witness a little flirting but i really hope that i dont have to witness overtly over the top posts and gestures too often.
I simply think to myself "please protect your dignity!!"
Becouse it can be terribly embarrassing for everyone if it all goes pear shaped.
Then obvious put downs and insinuations publicly do not help. | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 10:18:55 AM | i have to agree with ^^^^^^^^^ i found that out to my cost this last week or so,as im sure you are all aware,and it has turned into a fecking running joke,seemingly,but as others have said you live and learn!!! | |
|
| Has internet dating changed you?
Posted: 1/8/2009 12:15:12 PM | Running joke is an understatement but only due to manipulative jealous persons doing their level best to cause trouble
Shane and i are not together and won't ever be due to a certain someone busting her gut to go cause trouble
She wanted him but it wasnt reciprocated
Poor old thing!
I'll be banned for this but tough tripe! | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 12:22:33 PM | PPP and Shane, Why are you letting someone else ruin what you might have, you both know she's causing trouble so shouldnt let her win............i dont really know what the situation is, but just wanted to have my say!! | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 1:36:04 PM | Yes; I used to be a 6'7" black lesbian woman, but nowadays I'm a hermaphrodite Panamanian dwarf with opposable toes, and halitosis.
Thanks internet dating  | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 1:39:41 PM | Avast is better, but it tends to loudly interrupt any dirty doings, by announcing it has updated..
Rather like someone bursting in and saying there is a cuppa downstairs..really off putting.. | |

Well I've no idea who you're talking about but that's terrible, what a shame.
I did try to message you PPP but there's no way I can get past all the restrictions on your page - I'm too old, too married, too ......... * *fill in blank as appropriate
I'm sorry though hon | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 1:52:22 PM | It's changed the way I look at other men, mostly because you women all seem to have some horror stories about guys who've contacted you, or dates you've had (either that or you're all drama queens!).
It's also confirmed something I knew already: lots of the things about yourself you thought were true probably aren't. i.e. you aren't a looker if you get 3/4 average marks for your photo rating .
Overall, online dating is a massive ego killer.  | |

.....umm i'd have to have had a date in the first place to be able to comment on that one....
But as for the internet experience. I don't think its changed me. It may have changed my perception of individual people along the way. But i'm not one for tarring everyone with the same brush. So no, i'm still me. Undateable as ever | |

Posted: 10/24/2009 2:44:54 PM | I am just thinking tonight how different I was 2 and something years ago when I was a online dating virgin
I was polite and considerate and I was believing in every word I read from the potential dates.I would even chat for days with people whose photo I'd never seen.
Internet dating has changed me. I trust no one any more and I get this little warning voices when I spot a lie, or when someone says something I've already "heard". | |
