have learned that regardless of what women say, they prefer a jackass over a romantic.

I am proud to be that jackass


gremlin, i am a hetero male, but i don't care....u are SOOO ON MY FAVORITES LIST, your profile is for the ages, may i quote?

about Me
I have no hobbies you'd care about. I have no goals/aspirations I could be bothered to share. I don't want to talk about myself and what makes me unique, because there isn't anything. I don't listen to music.

I am an engine of annihilation. A catalyst of change. All who stand before me wither and despair. I am the lion among sheep. I am qualitatively superior to any human being you will ever encounter. I am Canadian.


LOL

Although i am not on this site to find a date...or...husband...i like to read the forums...and thru that...i am entertained by how..well...i dont even know how to describe the people on here...from reading everything...it seems as though most who have been born in the 70's to 90's...were cut out of the bringing up values based on morals...respect..not only for others, elders, but most of all themselves..no charactor at all...i can go on..and on...they seem to pride themselves on getting laid...and cant understand the concept of what a relationship really is.... So...makes me really glad to be me....

ive learned that what i found appalling when i first logged on i now consider normal. the questions i had over certain behaviors dont even matter anymore. i learned that who pays is a crucial and ridiculously hot topic in the forums but ive never enncountered it as an issue on a date. ive learned to take a time out when i get annoyed or frustrated. ive learned that i really do want a long term relationship. ive learned to not take anything personally but ive always been pretty good at that. men online love to cuddle. ive never heard a man make that claim in real life.

Just learned another one last night. "Dating" in online lingo means they just want sex, no relationship. I changed my search to 'long term'.

Red..that's so true...

The lessons I've learned from online dating? I've learned that men think I'm not feminine, that I'm selfish and that I'm shallow. I've also learned that I need to change my taste in men..LOL..the ones I'm interested in don't even bother to answer my emails!

In reality though, I've learned that online dating is one big game. It's not for real and these people don't really care who you are..(I'm talking both men and women here!)..they only care what you look like. I am very clear about what I like and what my interests are and I get emails from men who I have absolutely not one thing in common with! Go figure!

one thing ive learned specifically from the forums, is that if you post a thread that has any substance or meaning that it will be deleted..

I mean seriously its annoying, I have seen some of the most ridiculous threads stay on here for months, yet the really good ones always get deleted!

hmm probably that women on line have a lot higher standards :P

that its not really applicable to use this to meet a quality women more like a one stand

and that no matter what a girl says they always do the opposite

That paid dating sites and free dating sites are no different in terms of results.

That's for damn sure! Have tried both kinds with the same results. And it's pretty much the same people on all. Is there any one site that is particularly good that anyone can recommend?

Oh I've got too many precious lessons from online dating and dating directly and indirectly.
1. Guys don't think and feel the same way as women do in love, sex, relationships and etc.
2. Guys could say whatever but it's hardly to find someone who could keep his words. Words are meaningless and actions speak louder than words!!!
3. Don't expect too much and too early. Just live by the moment and go with the flow.
4. Real guys are far different with knights with shining armors LOL
5. Don't ever do anything if you don't feel comfortable no matter how many people do.
6. The only thing you could trust are your gut feelings and consistency in actions when interacting with strangers.
7. Stay positive and open even when odds are against you.
8. Don't try too hard to find someone. Just do whatever you love to do and love will find you :)
9. And finally I realize that I don't fit well into online dating LOL

welcome 2 my world.. I think the strongest impression I get from online dating is this: 2much choice=no honest intentions. conscious and unconscious choices people make. Very ARTIFICIAL
