Posted: 10/24/2009 3:43:21 PM | I think the Internet has changed me too. For the worse.
I now have the words "Dum Spiro Spero" tattooed on my forearm, it means "While I breathe, I hope."
I hope I can go back to how I was some years ago, and not get any more cynical about the world we live in. | |

Posted: 10/24/2009 4:25:03 PM | Yeah it has changed my mind about women in general to be honest
It made me realise how shallow they are, and how they all think that they are to good to even talk to you about things in general never mind about relatioship matters.
People say one thing and think and do another...
Most of the girls on here have so many offeres they have the option to play the vitrual field, so they do.
Thats fair enough, its no different to what the blokes do, but its never fun when your on the recieving end.
And if they are not playing you then there just plain wasting your time, telling you one thing and meaning another...
for instance they tell you they are looking for a relationship, but then when you get to know them they say there not ready to get into a relationship at the moment...
So yeah internet dating has changed me... it woke me up to the reality that women on here are a waste of time, the very fact there here proves it! | |

it changed my perception of what is safe sex.
I now use norton rather than durex.
Love that answer..
Has internet dating changed you?
I find some of the people / profiles are more full of shite than they are in real life..
There are a few exceptions of course | |

Posted: 10/24/2009 6:52:28 PM | | Yes I have realised that a woman's age is her chronological age less 4-6 years that you need to be 4" taller than her at least because of heels and that the average penis is 8" long. | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 3:50:05 AM | Hmmmm well it seems that is hasnt had a very positive effect on most of us. When I first became single I entered into internet dateing with an opptimistic attitude and foolishly thought I would quickly find a lovley gentleman who wanted exactly the same as me and I would have this wonderful relationship with him. Ermmm that is the exact opposite to what I got! Its turned me into a a pessimistic cynical old **** who now thinks men are a bunch of sex driven idiots who can not hold a convosation without uttering the word sex within the first two sentances! Now that cant be good can it? And that all happened in the space of almost 3 years.
I need to meet with somone who can convince me otherwise....any offers  | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 4:32:03 AM | For me - I love it. It has not replaced my normal RL activities but it's a find addition.
It's fun and it's frustrating at times, just like RL. I've had plenty dates and have made some good friends from here.
Only a week ago I had a great day out in london with a forumite.
It has not changed me, i'm still a total cnut. The answer is not to expect too much from it
Internet dating gets a big  from me | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 4:32:12 AM | Hasn't changed me - the first and only date from here did not turn up on time, sms me 45 minutes after the time asking where I was and got upset when I replied that I am on my way home.
Internet dating did not change me - I still expect good manners and consideration  | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 4:45:34 AM | Yes its changed me. I find I dont believe a thing I am told on here now and am suspicious of almost every guys motives. Too easy to create a profile, look for someone, meet them and spin a few lines without any real thought for whether you really want a true relationship. If it wasnt for Choppers wise words on this forum I would have been in a convent ages ago.  | |

I thought when I joined, that as there were 79 bazillion women available, they would form an orderly queue, and I could grade their pleading first messages according to sex appeal and worthiness.
I waited quite patiently for over two hours....
when that plan failed, I began to write carefully constructed and personalised first messages that were so funny, that I had to wear protective clothing while typing them, feeling sure that these lucky women would be spraying themselves in perfume, and wearing nothing but a raincoat and heels when they rushed to meet me.
Sadly, when I tried to send these same missives of my undying devotion, I was informed that they were not accepting messages from me, as they had ticked the "no perverts", "no coffin dodgers" , and "no munters" boxes on their filters.
So now I merely use it for the purposes of sinning against the catholic church... by browsing beneath my age range.
Women are only after one thing, IMO, but it's not sex, and they will never ever give you a clue if you are a man. This "one thing" remains a closely guarded secret in the female community, similar to the freemasons. If ever a man were to find out, he would have to be killed. | |

I've never been out with a bazillion woman but i'm willing to give it a try..

I've also been wondering what this "one thing" is. Whatever it is, it appears they haven't got it either... | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 9:00:47 AM | | I was soooo broken after my ex boyfriend, that I didn't want to think about men for two years, so at the end of that time I had little or no confidence, so I guess it has given me loads more confidence, I don't even get nervous now on dates, I'll either like them or I won't and vice versa...so yeah it has changed me loads! | |

I sympathise with this a bit - I used to feel this way at first, then i stopped giving a sh*t, then I started dating. Simples | |

I think thats a little unfair... Not all the women on here are simple.... 
Yeah it has changed my mind about women in general to be honest
Mind you I don't give a shite now either..
They wanna date.. They don't wanna date..
Who cares as it seems 99.9 aren't up for a webcam test.. So who or what are they anyways.. | |
|
| Has internet dating changed you?
Posted: 10/25/2009 12:00:53 PM | | Webcam test?? Boy I wish I had thought of that would have saved me from meeting some right mingers! Have you ever thought that a lot of ladies just dont like webcams or even have a need to own one? Although I am sure if they had an inkling they were gonna be given a "webcam test" before anyone agrees to date them I am sure they will all rush out to PC world first thing tomorro! ( sarcasm intended for those that dont comprehend) | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 1:21:50 PM | | Yep, made me a bit jaded in my view of men. When you get a date with a good one you're much more apreciative of them though. There are some nice genuine ones out there, just takes a lot of digging to find them. | |

Posted: 10/26/2009 7:09:23 AM | Yep, made me much more jaded in my view of women.
The fact that they know it's a "women's market" really brings out the worst in many of them (assuming they have a better nature at all, that is!). Internet dating has shown me how fickle most women are, motivated by money first and looks second.
I think that if I ever find one who isn't, I'll appreciate her a whole lot more though! | |
|
| Has internet dating changed you?
Posted: 10/26/2009 7:31:36 AM | Whoaaaaaaa
What on earth does "womans market" mean for a start? Are you implying that women have all the choices in dateing?
And women may be fickle but no more so than men. And we are motivated by money and looks? I am not gonna argue about this because its such an age old argument that has been going on for yonks on these forums..... MEN v WOMEN! I think we should all just agree that SOME men are from mars and SOME women are from venus. But hopefully somwhere along the line we might meet somone who rocks our world. | |

Have you heard of the phrases "buyers' market" or "sellers' market"? It means that if there are lots for sale and not many buyers then it's a "buyers' market" and vice-versa.
And women may be fickle but no more so than men
Are you kidding?!
And we are motivated by money and looks?
The majority of women are, of that there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever.

| Has internet dating changed you?
Posted: 10/26/2009 8:47:30 AM | I really don't believe it to be a womans market at all..........well as a woman that has been my experience.
Has it changed me...................um I'd say yes, it has totally undermined my view of men in general, many though by all means not all have been vacuous, sleazy and grandiloquent. Wanting one thing only and quickly, then just moving on if your knickers are primed to drop and recoil at a moments notice But hey thats life when you take it for it what it is, and laugh at the madness of it then it washes over you more.  | |

If you knew what it's like as an "average" man on here, you'd change you mind. And yes, I do know how much interest "average" women get, substantially more.
vacuous, sleazy and grandiloquent.
lol...full marks for descriptive eloquence!

That's not high on my list of priorities at all. But I think women are drawn towards these types of men, and then complain when they behave "true to form"! | |

Aye and if me aunty had balls she'd be my uncle--------------------- whats your point exactly? I can never really know what it is like to be an average male as I am an average female, perhaps your empathy skills are better developed than mine. I also stated that that in 'my experience ' it was not a womans market. Merely offering an alternative experience not an absolute.
We may get marginally more interest and I stress 'may' but most of it goes unanswered and is not the type of message you generally want.
"lol...full marks for descriptive eloquence" Why thanks.......I think
"That's not high on my list of priorities at all. But I think women are drawn towards these types of men, and then complain when they behave "true to form"! "
Okay for the first part of the statement, honestly it is refreshing to read that, and it makes you stand out in a sort of wheat from the chaff sort of way. Though once again in the earlier post I did say generally and I also said not all the men behaved in this way, thank you for proving me right. As for the second part of the statement once again I cannot speak for all women only my own experience. I am not drawn to these kinds of men, I am drawn to articulate, bright, witty men. I find intellect and a quick wit incredibly sexy. So generally I ignore the other sort of messages. I feel no great need to interact with people online whom I would never associate with in RL. Besides I think a lot of messages are generically inane and sent to masses of women. Now that does make me feel special
