Posted: 6/10/2005 7:22:00 PM | Chances are, if you're looking for a date on the internet, it's because your real life dating approach hasn't worked yet.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say "dating does not work"
I don't see the difference between internet and real life, except the internet allows you the opportunity to meet people you would have never had the pleasure of meeting in your immediate circle. You know, maybe your soulmate is in a different state, or maybe he is right in your town, but he shops at a different grocery store, on a different night of the week. You just never know.
But, if you're striking out here and IRL, rethink your plan. | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 8:27:09 PM | hey i'm a middle age lady I"ve been trying this on line dating thing for
3 months haven't met anyone and i email guys all the time.I'm very
realistic about who I email .There not great looking guys or younger
guys or men that live far away.I'm trying to make this work .It
really is tough to keep on trying .I haven't had a special person in
my life in ten years.sometimes it seems like i repelle men and doesn't
matter what I do or where I go,that will never change .At least
thats how it seems sometimes.Almost all my girlfriends are married or
attached.At my age as soon as your friends get a man in there life
you rarely ever hear from them again.And your not allowed back as
a friend until you have a man in your life.being singles like having
the black plaque and nobody wants that.
I know I sound real negitive but I'm just expressing my feelings .
If your not one of the beautiful people your chances of meeting
someone is even less likely.
I think what I have to do is put my energies else where in my
life and give up on the dream .Its very unrealistic to meet anyone
this late in the game.
A man my age is like a prime piece of realestate .Woman my age
are looked at as used goods.
Any way enough dark thoughs for now. | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 8:53:10 PM | There once was a man named Ross. He was tall, skinny, and geeky looking. The women never looked his way. Poor ol' Ross, he never got no play! So one day he bought an adorable striped cat. The ladies would say, "He's so cute. What's his name?" "Sergeant," came the reply. Pretty soon he was making connections all over the place. After that Ross never spent his Saturday nights corralling the tadpoles, wrestling with the one-eyed monster, or polishing the may-pole.
That, my friends, is sarging. | |

Posted: 6/10/2005 9:40:48 PM | __First. What is internet but a form of comunication. No better then the phone or talking to someone in the grocery lineup. What the net allows us is to skip a large amount of people and get to talk to other like minded singles. No more no less.
__So now we are talking to other singles who are also looking. These conversations are a way to find if we are compatible. Should we come accross someone who complement our needs and desires only lead us to the next step. One, let the other know that we like them and get them to talk to us to open a direct line of communication. Also know as Email.
__This is all the net will do for you. The rest is up to you.

Posted: 6/10/2005 10:21:30 PM | | I won't likely be "sarging". Pretty hard to utilize a cute cat/dog whatever when you live in a NO ANIMALS building (besides, I think they would frown on my bringing pets to the gym) | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 1:28:48 AM | "Internet Dating" is just 1 of many Mediums ...
May work better for some, not so well for others.
Was never my original Choice, came here for the discussion of Topics only in the first Place, as this has got to be one of the better 'General Category Forums' anywhere.
"Internet Dating" has some 'Advantages' as well as some 'Drawbacks, although I would not say they are completely 'Absolute'.
Drawbacks:
- 1. Too may 'Whackjobs', 'Pervs', 'Con Men' etc. that would never see Daylight anywhere else.
- 2. Longer Distances, often making Things more difficult and expensive.
- 3. Far easier to be jerked around by those who are only here to 'Play' with others.
- 4. Usually too much 'Advertising' in your Face at all Times.
Advantages:
+ 1. Many compatible People not easily accessible, esp. by Long Distance through another
Medium, where one can get familiar with any given Person by the Messages they post on a Forum/Bulletin Board.
+ 2. Far easier and more comfortable to move at your own Pace.
+ 3. The Means to enact far better 'Personal Safety', in Comparison to meeting someone in Person you don't know, such as in a Bar, Nightclub, etc.
+ 4. One can 'Pull the Cord' at any given Time without being in a 'Position of Compromise'.

Posted: 6/11/2005 2:01:29 AM | Well, I haven't met " THE ONE", yet, but I've met 3 nice, attractive men in my area. I've met
3 other guys who were attractive, but real A__ HOLES. I've got 3 dates lined up within the next
week, and these next 3 are GORGEOUS. I always insist on, not only pictures, but web-cam
conversations, so there are no bad surprises, (on their side either). I live in a small town and
there just isn't a very good selection of dating prospects. P.O.F. gives me the opportunity
to meet men who live in my area, without having to travel to London or Kitchener (2 cities very
close to my town) and go bar-hopping etc. I think if you give it an honest chance and
concentrate mainly on meeting people within a 50 to 75 mile radius, it can be a great way to meet
someone. | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 2:38:28 AM | | I think your right man. I have may be one good lead (after about 15 messages). I thought people were on here to date and get to know others personally. It is hard to do that when they are away from the security of their keyboard.---I hate to say it, but you women are wussies.--there--I said it!! | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 7:04:58 AM | | I get the feeling that in order to attract men/email I need to be posting pics of my tatas and my booty. Seems like the only thing guys are looking for from a woman over 35 is a f**kbuddy and as I am NOT interested in being a booty call, I am unlikely to ever be a "success" here. | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 7:15:56 AM | __Fox. Please don't do that. You will only attract the shallow ones who will never give you the respect you deserve. Your posts on these forums speaks loads of you. I have noticed you and so is many other good guys. Be patient. Good things will come your way.

Posted: 6/11/2005 10:18:02 AM | | And I hope good things will come your way but maybe you will meet someone in person near you. I don't really think these sites work all that well for meeting people. I think it's more of a deversion. | |

I'm with ya on this one bro! Actually been thinking that for a while now. I guess that is why I spend most of my time on these forums, because of their entertainment value. I have off and on been on dating sites for about 4 years, and not one that was serious enough to call on the phone or even meet in person. It isn't like I am too picky either, just nobody willing to settle for me... Kinda like when Austin Powers gets shot down by Vanessa on his plane... "even for just procreation, I still wouldn't have sex with you!"... | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 7:49:35 PM | I'm leaning on the side of NOT for most people looking for a 'serious relationship', but I'm sure there are exceptions. I agree with ticketto..., it has advantages and drawbacks. I get the impression that most people use these sites to 'play' out their fantasies and for maybe a few creepy (sorry) people they get some one-off encounters from here. I remember people hooking up through 'chat rooms' which at the time (10 yrs ago) seemed just odd. It's oddness multiplied with Online Dating sites.
To all those exceptions, GOOD ON YOU! | |

Posted: 6/11/2005 8:34:36 PM | Hello all. I'm new to all of this. Gilles I think you are a very profound thinker and I really enjoy reading what you write. I have read some of these threads and a common theme keeps coming up- people are jerks, men and women are jerks, everybody wants to give up, lots and lots of negativity. It is unbelievable how critical people are! Yes, there are a lot of mean men and women out there who are cruel, who play games, who are psychotic, who are shallow, who are looking for a piece of a##! But you can't generalize people! There are some very nice, kind, sweet, gentle people out there. I have talked to many very nice guys who are sweet and who are gentlemen and guys, there is no way every woman in the world you write to can find you attractive. It's all individual. That doesn't mean you are ugly it just means you haven't found the right person yet. There is someone for everyone. If you are bitter and think all women are ****es then you are in for a lot of disappointments. I really try to write back and respond to most guys if I'm interested or not. It's just being polite. I do not consider myself shallow but it's irrational to think I would be attracted to everyone. People don't work that way. Some people like tall thin types, others like shorter, stockier types. Some people like country, others rock. Just because someone doesn't click with you doesn't mean they are a **** or creep and it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Be yourself, don't settle and for God's sake have faith. There ARE many good people left. | |

| Can I get some sound advice?
Posted: 6/11/2005 8:46:02 PM | | Hello all. I just joined this site a week ago. I started emailing with this guy who lives not too far from me. He sounded very nice and sweet. We exchanged numbers and talked on the phone a few times. We really clicked. The only problem was that one day he called me five times. Left numerous messages on my home phone and cell phone. I thought that was odd a little pushy. The next day I called and told him that if he would leave just one message that I would call him back, that I am often busy or not home but I will always return calls either that day or if I'm not home the next. To make a long story short (sorry) we went out for drinks last night. He was very sweet and attractive. I enjoyed our conversation, everything was going well until it was time to say goodnight. He told me there was something in his past that he had to tell me. I said everyone has a past and if it wouldn't affect our dating relationship that it probably wasn't a big deal. I mean how bad could it be? He told me that he had just been released from PRISON. That he had spent the last 19 years in prison for second degree murder of his drug dealer. Now how in the bloody hell did I get into that situation and how can I keep from getting into that in the future? He seemed like a really nice normal guy? I calmly said I had to go and got the heck out of there. Of course he doesn't know where I live but help me out here........how could I possibly have seen this coming? Has anyone ever had something bizarre like this happen? Is this what I can expect on meeting people from the internet? Any sound advice would be greatly appreciated. | |
