| What have you learned about online dating here?
Posted: 7/3/2005 12:02:39 AM | I have learned that:
1) online date sites are mostly just a form of (free) entertainment. You get what you pay for.
2) people go online searching for something they can't get in real life, or something that is simple not attainable in their world.
3) nothing can or should be taken seriously.
4) it IS possible to meet cool people and good friends online, but highly unlikely you will find "the one".
5) internet dating is addictive, and people who use it tend to be ADHD 
6) peoples expectations tend to be way out of line with their reality.
7) women like to chat a lot to strange men , with no intention of ever meeting them.
8) pics in profiles tend to be out dated and should not be trusted.
9) the forums are filled with people making silly generalizations based on their own personal experiences. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 3:31:27 AM | | what i've learned here is that the women are not sincere and unfortunately, almost everyone is engaged in some sort of bashing on here. it is becoming less and less fun to be here. if you want aggravation and anymostity, then you're in the right place. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 3:59:28 AM | I have learned that im not so learned..
Id rather be amazed at my ignorance than proud of my knowledge
Im puzzled however at naysayers who say that this online thing doesnt work,that they have no problem meeting quite a number of memebers of the opposite sex off line ,yet start threads
like "why women dont reply' a month later" . | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 5:29:53 AM | I'velearned that womebn are affraid of romance and honesty. And that a lot of people take things out of context and can't read. If you say 90% it becomes all or 100%. When you say 90% it means your leaving a 10% door way open to have your mind change.
My recent dating experience with HC She 1st sent me a message I checked out her Ad It said she was single and that the other person must not be in a relationship. well me met and she tells me shes in a long distance relationship
At the end of the date she asks me for a Kiss then several more. To me that means she wants to be more than friends.
This confuses me because she is already in a relationship. I feel sparks with the kiss and I know she does, because I don't think she would have asked for several more kisses.
Are 2nd date was dull, her mind and soul wasn't even there.
The next day she send me e-mails to stop giving her compliments. Which I find hurtful, because I like her alot. Then she mentions her long distance relationship.
What I don't understand is why we kissed so much.
she said a kiss is just a kiss. I could see that if it was just one not several
Can any woman tell me what is going on in HC's mind. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 8:59:30 AM | | xainos I can only speak for myself. I've met a few from here in person talked to MANY on the phone. Had two from out of town and out of state, I have local men only and I'm strict on that. My job and responsibilities make it nearly impossible to travel, plus I don't believe in long distance relationships. So I have two standing invitations to fly somewhere that most likely won't happen. I ask you, who is wasting who's time on that one. I would have had more dates but until recently I was working a second job, so I wasn't as active on the site. I am flat out honest, haven't had anyone I met in person say anything other than my profile accurately represents me. In fact, many are surprised that I appear exactly the same, they're I guess expecting a slightly altered version. I've had my share of guys lying about height or even AGE, go figure. So the door swings both ways. I just do what I want others to do, if they don't, I don't want any part of them. I don't let the fakers and liars ruin it for me, you need to keep your attitude positive and upbeat. Just so you know, I've had guys phone and email over a long period of time, some years and can't get them to meet me for a simple coffee!!! The guys online are horrible about that! I want to meet face to face soon, if not, don't write or call me anymore. I've gotten much firmer, tired of wasting my time with guys that string you along, if someone writes me and we don't meet within a week or so......adios!!! | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 9:46:21 PM | That people are not what you think or presume them to be until you meet them. You can talk/chat w/ them until the cows come home and still never truly get the complete picture of them until you meet them in person. Words can only go so far. However, chatting prior to meeting them helps to judge a mental and intellectual connection and/or communication rapport.  | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 12:06:48 AM | Humour and wit are more powerful than a hot pic.
Intelligence really does count for a lot.
Anybody can get together with someone in their area right now.
Knowing what you want is about 75% of the battle.
The world is chock full of beautiful and lonely women! | |
