Posted: 5/11/2008 6:36:53 PM | Well, i have noticed that online or real life meeting women, its all about how you look, you got to have Leonardo Decapio looks or Brad Pitt looks or something to even be given a chance.

Posted: 5/12/2008 2:17:25 AM | SugahPieHoneyBunch ~ (Sensitive Question) ...My size is not the issue ,because I only date men ,who are attracted to the fuller figure/voluptuous woman...
SugahPieHoneyBunch ~ (Donuts Anyone !) ...I am all about...
SugahPieHoneyBunch ~ (What have you learned from online dating ?) ...I have been dating/chatting online since May 2006 and below is what I have learned from online dating...
Well Sugah, you've hidden your profile, so I don't know anything about you. I see you have children so "Happy Mother's Day." While your summation says alot about what you've seen since you've joined, it also covers alot of negativity. What I've learned is that it takes more than a good profile, that it takes a follow-up through IM (chatting), emailing, telephone calls & finally meeting face-to-face. Each step brings out a different aspect on how a person interacts & whether or not there is any chemistry. In the real world, you don't know if someone is interested, who is single or who is married. Body language says it all, flirting & asking questions & even asking someone out. With the Internet dating scene, everyone knows what you're looking for, then by clearly stating what you want, defining your boundaries & expectations. Even then it's hard to see whether someone is genuine or not, who are the players, who are only seeking friends, who are only here for the forums, etc. Sometimes you gotta use humour. For example...
Carolinawolfie (Msg 6) - it appears you're already looking & talking to a sweetheart in your profile pic... any updates? She looks so tall & thin...
There are nice people everywhere, just as there are some who are bitter for whatever reason.
MacGyverRI (Msg 16) - I find your response a little bit hurtful, you reinforce the stereotype that "fat is not where it's at..." I've met a few women who were 5' tall and over 200 lbs & I would've loved to have spent the rest of my days with them. When you find someone who doesn't meet your ideal image, be nice to them, do an act of kindness & say you're not interested & move on. What I've learned is that some pictures may not be what they seem, that in reality they appear older, or sometimes the pictures they've posted haven't done them justice either, that they're 10 times more beautiful than their profile picture.
We are all attractive to someone, whether we accept this person or that person is based on our expectations & desires. My ex-gf was size 18 & I told her not to worry about her weight, I loved her because I was attracted to her, to her outer beauty as well as her inner beauty. She had issues & never loved me & we ended up parting. Whether you are a size 0 or a size 20, does it really matter? To me it doesn't, it's just like your age, it's a positive number.

Posted: 5/15/2008 11:21:34 PM | Ive learned that if you put on your profile on the drinker Question,you put socially,You are regarded as an alcoholic straight away from many women,though you check out their profiles,and on the first date Question,where ever they would like this to happen theres always gotta be a bottle of wine or two involved.
So i,m just the social alcoholic and she,s the wino,just dont get it really | |

I like facebook right now.
I have lots of gorgous men from all over who send me flowers, cards, send me love emails, give me massages, and send me to beautiful places. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 1:19:24 PM | I've been here 6 months at this point..part-time..so I'm finishing up my 'probationary' period.
I'm still in the learning phase. I've learned not to put ppl on my msn as who you talk to today may not talk again for another month or two.
I've also learned although there are so called 'players', married men who don't admit it and kids just having fun but the majority out there are in the same boat looking to catch that one special fish....good luck to all, be yourself and it will happen.................................
OH YES..I have learned that I love the forums!! | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 2:11:50 PM | it's a great place for adults to behave as kids and make unwarranted personal attacks.
a general topic cannot be brought up without loads of immature users drawing in the poster and trying to make an issue of something that is not an issue at hand. I see the need for critical thinking classes in college now, but one would think that would all be learned by age 12. I suggest we have critical thinking concepts taught to kids in elementary school. maybe then when as adults, a concerted talk about issues could be conducted without whimsical personal asaults. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 2:58:22 PM | OP, sometimes you even have to be careful when they say athletic. I have met many that said "athetic". And not one was, but their picture was. I will say this.. I have met some through the years, and only 2 of the bunch did I ever go out again with them on a second date, that's how bad it has been.
I am pretty much in agreement with some of the other posters, as get out in the real world, it seems as if some are more nice out there. no offesnse to anyone, just my experience on here.
I know for a fact, that some, alot have been married. The text game messages, clue 1, never phone calls, being stood up, clue 2. It's funny though on here, the majority I have spoke/e-mailed with that are looking for LTR are in fact are not looking for that.. they are looking to get laid.
It's justa tool for them to use, because most will not except' intimate encounter".
I'm pretty tough now I will say. I mainly am here for the forums anymore, but if that 1 comes along so be it, if not, I go out in the real world and meet real people, because my experience as well, most want to hide behind their computers and are looking for a chit chat pal/e-mail pal, while their wife is working.
happy Fishing!! | |

Posted: 5/17/2008 6:55:28 AM | | I have learned to hope for the best but expect the worst, that way you won't be so terribly disappointed if things don't go so well. I read a lot of posts on these forums made by people who went on dates with all these preconceived notions and were horribly upset that all did not go as they had hoped. For myself, I am perfectly happy to be able to share an evening of intelligent conversation and, if nothing else, to make a new friend and expand my social circle somewhat. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 6:04:09 AM | Trust me, this works both ways. I do not have a photo posted, can talk to a guy back n forth for a while - as soon as I send a photo - boom!! nothing .... not even an acknowledgement that they received it!! BUT, on the positive side - one must always remember - 'the power of attraction' - I can look at a photo of a guy and there could just be something about him that I find attractive albeit that he's not an Indiana Jones look alike. So remember this lesson in life : If they turn you down then it wasn't meant to be!!! | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 7:23:00 PM | that it's still a crap shoot. a profile can only give so much info about a person. i never know if i "click" with someone until i meet them. and even then it takes a while to see if i like them enough to want them in my life.
that's what makes it fun... you never know what your getting into! | |
