| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/16/2009 10:04:17 PM | Let me look at the women I've had dates with from this site.
- A = perfectly healthy, normal, unemployed archeologiest - B = crazy, second date was when I visited her in the suicide clinic (I helped her get better), wanted sex 20 minutes into the date 1st date - C = perfectly healthy, normal, gullable girl that I felt like her big brother and told her how to handle some dates - D = great girl, she and I are both story tellers and there wasn't a moment of silence in our 14 hour 1st date. she wanted sex at the end, i said no, she slapped me and later regretted doing that - E = seeing a therapist, wanted sex on the 2nd date - F = perfectly healthy, normal, nerd girl - G = Jerry Springer crazy, seeing a therapist now, wanted sex on the 3rd date
Hmmm... I thought that I had been on more dates / outtings from this site, but I guess not. | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/16/2009 11:37:15 PM | good grief! everybody is not on here for the same thing. The girls/women you meet don't have to follow YOUR dating rules (they have their own). It's DATING .. does anyone even understand the concept of dating any more?
1. Dating means seeing more than one person ~ in no way indicates monogamy or lifetime commitment
2. Dating means either person can change their mind and stop dating - again, NOT married
3. One does not have to become seriously involved with EVERY date , nothing personal, you're not it
4. WHY does everything have to be so serious? WHY can't we just relax, have a nice dinner & some fun? Why does DATING have to be hard? | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/17/2009 1:46:36 PM | I've met up with two women from this web site,both times weren't very good experiences. The first was with no pictures of her,a mistake I learned very quickly because she was at least eighty pounds over weight when she decribed herself as "average". The second,I won't get into except she was in need of more therapy than she had already received up to the point that I had met her.
Anyway,I met someone through a friend and it's good so far. I'm not certain if meeting women in a bar is any worse then meeting through the internet,just my opinion! | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/17/2009 2:57:46 PM | | I have met quite a few that are mommies lookin for daddies, and not to mention they also come across as the goldigger type. Other than that I did meet one sex crazed nympho chic on here, but In the end she turned out be a total wackjob looney. | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/17/2009 7:49:09 PM | All you're going to get from this thread is anecdotal evidence, which is hardly likely representative of the truth.
Don't forget the fact that those more likely to respond are those who have had negative experiences... | |

I remember a favorite cartoon: The King is seated on his throne. The underling enters and bows deeply. He announces: Your highness we have polled the populace and have returned exactly the results you ordered.
Bias is hard to recognize. | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/17/2009 9:44:01 PM | | Well I don't consider myself a "Brad Pitt Lookalike" but for the most part the women who say they're looking for a real relationship and aren't looking for sex seem to be pretty sexually aggressive right away and I'm usually the one saying no. | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/17/2009 11:33:06 PM | Met and dated one girl from here who was very sweet but begged for it on the second date telling me how much she loved sex. I waited a couple weeks and we broke up at about six weeks. I really liked her but she can't deal with issues well and implodes. Wanted me to move in after two weeks and start paying half the bills, I have a paid off house why would I want a mortgage when I have never had one.
Met another one from here and we went out one time, story of my life, said I was nice and she had a great time but I wasn't what she was looking for looks wise. She parked a long ways from the door so I did walk her to her car as she said she didn't feel safe in the dark lot and said goodbye knowing that was it.
Had one message me saying she wanted to meet me for sex at my house and I declined. Had another want to know if I was interested in getting laid tonight and I said after I date a person for a month or so yes but not the first time out. Had several message me and I replied and never heard from them again. Chatted with a girl for two evenings talked on the phone like we were long lost friends so I asked her out and she said no. Had a couple more message me and when I messaged them back they never responded. I messaged a couple more and talked to them but I was not their type. About par for the course for a internet dating site. I put if I am your type message me now so I don't have to hear the not my type thing so much.
Dating.com I met and dated close to 100 women over four years. Had one three month relationship, things were going great and we were including her 9 year old daughter ad we got along great. Then I got dumped for another guy, I read about her daughter in the paper about four months later and cried, not going to go farther but you can figure it out. Another that almost resulted in marriage after six months and thank God she clicked send all on that fateful day and I got to she why she wanted me, free move from Seattle to Phoenix as her boyfriend here couldn't afford to move her here, the rest of her family got to see too as they all got the e-mail from her. Bought a lot of dinners for a lot of women. Didn't date for 8 years after dating.com as I had enough. There were over 50 of the women on dating.com that I really liked and would have been happy with dating after the first date.
There were a total of 7 that actually liked me from dating.com. Most interesting was 6'5 and over 350 and ordered two meals and talked loudly about sex in the restaurant and she was asked to leave. One had two kidney transplants and smoked pot, drank and smoked cigs and was really sweet but was afraid of more medical problems with the unhealthy living, I believe she is dead now. Another one was one of the prettiest women I ever dated and we talked for a couple weeks and dated 5 times but she still had two ex's in her life and talked constantly about them, just couldn't take her answering her ex's calls when she was out with me.
On Yahoo I dated several women around the same time as dating.com but none of them worked out either. Went out with one for a couple weeks and had a great time but she quit answering the phone after the two weeks and ran into her and another guy a couple weeks later and she looked like a deer in the headlights when she saw me. I went to the bathroom and she followed and asked me not to tell him I dated her as they were a couple when we dated. Met a few there I liked but it wasn't mutual. A couple liked me but they were nowhere near ready for a relationship as they still had not dealt with problems from past relationships.
Just started looking again six months ago and I am quickly remembering why I quit dating. My friends tell me I should write a book about my dating experiences. If you want to call me bitter go for it but I am not, if it doesn't work and I just move on. I will keep on looking and I will find someone. | |

PoF should stand for plenty of flakes. there's a lot of damaged goods floating around here, unfortunately. There are a lot of women that have been hurt and I have met a lot of them. I have heard about hubby putting their head through a wall to what daddy did to her. Not just one woman but a lot of them, there are some sick people out there. I used to blame myself for failing in my search but now I know it is not just me, it is a lot of things that have affected women. | |

| Guys, what do you think of the girls? Posted: 10/18/2009 11:45:43 AM | I divorced in 01 and raised my kids solo ever since. I also am a musician and have stood on many stages looking at unhappy bar crowds pretending to be happy. When I found myself single again after 15 yrs I knew the bar scene wasn't for me. Internet dating on the other hand has been quite interesting. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. It appeals to me because it is a way to socialize without leaving my kids alone to fend for themselves. It also is a lot cheaper than hangin in a bar. And it offers an opportunity to screen potential dates.
I like to talk to a gal awhile before we make a date to meet. It's good for several reasons. We get to know each other a bit first so we're able to make a better informed decision to actually meet or not. I love sex, but not enough to throw caution to the wind. After all, I do have an important responsibility to my kids. They come first always, before dating, before myself, etc, period.
Something that stands out in my mind about internet dating. By far the majority of women I've met this way are pleasantly surprised that I am exactly who I am in person that I am online. In turn, I also find it very refreshing when a gal is the same as she portrays herself to be. It's uncommon. If you think about it, it is self defeating to not be yourself. Eventually the masquerade will reveal itself and you will find yourself back at square one. Honesty really is the best policy.
Okay, I'm stepping down off the soapbox now. lol | |
