Posted: 9/8/2009 4:06:47 PM | I learned that...
-people who state "also looking for friendship/activity partner" are full of it and won't give you a response despite multiple common interests listed.
-POF'ers would rather keep received mails in their inbox than delete it even when not interested. Trophy box any one?
-Talking to a stranger in person is easier than starting something with an e-mail. i.e. Online dating sucks | |

3. they take online dating too serious .
4. you're a nice guys but no chemistry . what they really looking for.

Posted: 9/11/2009 2:35:47 AM | | No MagicFish, I don't get your drift, because if I accepted your drift then my current age group would probably make me a paedophile. Or maybe I'm Cougar bait? That would be a lot more preferable than option A I must say... | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 3:38:38 AM | 1. i've learned that online dating would be more successful if it were called "online friendship making"
2. those with whom i have a compatible personality are not my type, yet those who are my type are not ones im compatible with.... or are too busy getting others' attention
3. im apparently attracted to flaky women only
4. unattractive people will bash attractive ones, attractive ones are "too good" to give unattractive one the time of day.
5. rude people are very commonplace
6. many people are either afraid or cant be bothered to say when or why they've lost interest.
7. and lastly, i've learned that reading about the drama that everyone "claims" to hate on the forums is much more entertaining (and likely to yield results) than actually trying to date. | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 3:49:00 AM | the lessons i've learned have been encorporated into my profile .....
summary....MOST men here are narcisistic dogs...they dont care about who they emotionally hurt because to them (men using online dating sites at least) women are disposable... | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 2:42:23 PM | I've learned:
That on the internet, nobody owes you a response;
That on the internet, despite anything you may have heard, men and women still play the same old games as they do in real life.
Beyond that, I don't believe I've learned anything. | |

| What lessons have you learned from online dating?
Posted: 9/11/2009 7:09:28 PM | I have learned the following:
1) Some of the people who are on this site are more interested in free meals and being entertained than looking for a relationship.
2) Not one date has so much as offered to tip for the meals even after multiple dates.
3) I dislike being taken advantage of by women who don't appreciate your evening out.
4) The pictures aren't always real...or they are several years old and 10-15 lbs different.
5) No one reads profiles.
6) If after 100 emaila back and forth(no exageration) and they are "busy" or still shy, they are bull shitting you and just looking for internet flirting or ego massaging without going out.
7) I'm still positive about meeting the right one, If the end results mean a great woman..it will all be worth it. | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 7:25:40 PM | What I have leaned?
That most people here are morons. That you are victims of your own mindset.
I just got out of a 3 year long term relationship.
When I decided to test the waters, got 3 dates in one week, 2 dates on the next. I am slowing down and just had one date. Jesus, too much too soon. I am going to just hang with friends. If anything, someone tell GoneSailing that I am going to miss her a lot (she cancel her account). She was the one trooper here that spoke from the gut, my type of true woman. Love you babe. | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 11:54:22 PM | | The same ones I learned from the Companion ads in newspapers before the net came along: it's hit and miss, best for me to meet and greet one person at a time and see where it goes, when distracted by life interrupting life it's time to hide my ad for a while.... | |

Posted: 9/12/2009 2:16:43 AM | Some of the lessons I have learned from Online Dating:
I have learned that there are a lot of people like others say that like to walk on the beach...
lol glad I live close to one ..... (and yes I do go to the beach here lol)
I have learned to not be attached to the outcome...
I have learned that some ladies (not all) can fall in love with someone after one conversation on IM
(oh I forgot those were Ghana scams lol)
I have learned that no mater where someone says they live, if the first paragraph
of their email or IM says "I live in Florida, but I am in Africa right now, and have had a tragedy"
GHANA SCAM lol
I have learned that everyone that wants to meet me live across the world or other side of USA
I have gotten a dog to keep me company....lol
That I can be happy, and self sufficient without another person living with me.
That I feel good about Me, as I am, and that everyone has different tastes in what they are looking for.
I have learned that Ladies who are abused and beaten by their husbands, will come to you to whine and feel sorry,
but will never take your advice to get help and get the heck out of there.... sadly...
I have learned that lots of people misrepresent themselves.
I have learned that I would like to be REALLY in LOVE.... with that Magic that we all seek....
but am patient to find that kind of love.... instead of a fake imitation.
I have learned that many people like to put others down in forums to try and make themselves look better.
I have learned that at least my dog loves me ROFLMAO....
I hope everyone has a great week.... and does not take all this too serious...
Peace

Posted: 9/12/2009 6:26:55 AM | Online dating makes a lot of men seem very shallow it's all about looks and sex.
You have to be patient and wait to find someone you click with and even when that happens it doesn't mean anything. You can't make things happen the way you want always.
There's a lot of single people out there who don't seme to know what they're looking for but are hoping to find it online!! Not quite sure how that works! | |

Posted: 9/12/2009 7:26:15 AM | Thanks for keeping a positive perspective.
However, i find it so hard to maintain positivity in an environment that reinforces unsustainable relationships. The guys on here seem to want your phone number real fast, meet, and then go onto the next email or conquest. It's sort of frustrating and a waste of time. I'm coming to the painful conclusion that its just not in the cards for me. I don't want to give up, but its just so hard to be hopeful now. I thought that paid services would bring a better quality of people. But, now i don't want to pay because the same people join those services too so why not just use the unpaid service? Oh well... as Mick Jagger says..."You can't always get what you want"... | |
