Online dating
How do you feel about it? Ladies, would you meet a guy from the internet? Guys, would you ask, "Does this smell like chloroform to you?" Would you start a serious relationship with someone you met on the internet? Do you belong to internet dating sites? Have you had sex with people you've met on the internet?

It's really not much different to meeting someone elsewhere.
The key is to meet them as soon as possible. No need to drag it out.
Also, I've had the most success messaging girls that don't have pictures uploaded. Yes, it's real risky, since most of them are probably fat, but there are some real gems out there too. Just make sure you ask for a pic and get one within a few emails.
There is some tricks to higher success. If you have pics, you'll get more responses. This is great for guys, but not so great if you're messaging hot women. Hot women get so many replies that even if they liked you, your next message will be lost in the sea of douches that occupy her inbox. Like Agent 008 said, message women without pics, or aim lower than you would IRL. I find that most women on dating sites are unrealistic about what kind of men are out there, and their expectations of what they want to find. Also, don't get excited about any girl, cause anything people say on the net doesn't mean shit, until you're sitting down to dinner with them.
One day when I'm not so busy, I'll sit down and write up a guide to profiles and messaging girls on dating sites.
That's awesome. I used to meets girls from online, banged a few as well. Definitely post the guide when you're done with it.
Fucking lol.
Only she blocked me when she went home and we never talked again.
That comic is exactly how the first time we met went, just awesome. Then when I had to go back home yeah it was like the last frame hahahahaha
hahahahahaaha
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA :mad:
i hate my life.
I can laugh now lol
but then it sucked pretty bad... sorry
Don't give up!
On totse... I dont care what anyone said it sounds pretty badass to me. Haha
IIRC we were talking about scarification
:cool:
Damn I dont even know what to say to that besides. AWESOME!!
I just suddenly remembered what you and your husband look like from 5 years ago. He's in the military, right?
Love of the internet leads to enlightenment.
In my opinion, internet dating - win.
Yup! Oh yeah I remember telling totse about it and most just lold and hoped I'd get a divorce. and someone said I looked like ringo starr. I laughed my fucking ass off because it was true, that pic sucked
I had a score of 7.9 ftw.
Plentyoffish is full of trashy people. You know, where you spend 20 minutes writing a funny, relevant message to a girl, but she is too thick to understand it so all you get is "wat" in response.
Okcupid I've had more luck with. Although again, it's not easy to find a pretty girl thats also got at least half a brain and has a sense of humour.
Hahahahahaha!
I don't understand why women go on dating sites. Wouldn't they figure any guy who wants to contact them on there is a loser by default?
Aww, well if a bunch of losers are trying to contact her what does that make her??
Remember what I told you about so many people having trouble meeting other people?
There you go.
In fact, I think this (incorrect) stigma that you mentioned is kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy. The nice girls I did meet on the dating sites didn't want anyone they know to find out they were on one. I am pretty sure this stigma is holding a lot of people back, even though they are having trouble meeting people outside of internet, like anyone else.
It seems like there is less of a stigma in Northern Europe. And I can say from experience, in, say, Russia, there is hardly any stigma at all. Local area IRC channels are the norm there. It's much more advanced in that sense, maybe simply because there were basically no conventional ways of meeting people (like pubs) when the internet got introduced.
This. One of my friends recently signed up for okcupid and went on a date. She didn't like the guy, but she was embarrassed to tell me she was on that site until I told her I had an account. I gave up on it a long time ago, though, because I never got serious replies. Most of the girls online are fat or have kids, so it's probably better to avoid online dating altogether.
It's a shame, really.
Well, from my experience there is a "transition period" - when you first move the relationship from online to real life, there is a bit of a shock, understandably - but very soon (very much depends on the guy here, he's got to make sure he doesn't behave altogether different in real life than he does online - the girl will follow) you realize that it's the same person, and it just gets back to the "online" level and wayyy pass that, which is really awesome. It's totally worth it.
But yeah, that's the reason why I would advise to move the relationship to "real life" as soon as possible. Or at least, use voice and webcams in the meantime. The internet is just a communication medium, after all.
I know personally a few couples, that met online, got married after a few years and have been happily together for over half a decade. They could've never possibly have met if not for the web.
I saw your picture. I see why you would want to keep it online.
Where? I feel like I'm missing out.
I have to disagree. How is going to a bar or a club any safer than meeting someone on the internet?
The internet, if we developed a culture for it, would allow for much better dating simply because it allows you to easily get to know a much bigger pool of people.
Also, online people are much more approachable. So I disagree with this stigma that being on the computer = lame/loserish/etc. It is really, really counterproductive.
You know they do "behaviour placement" in TV shows now? As much as it sickens me, they should do that with cool kids being on the internet. :cool:
A bar or club were just small examples. I dont think its nonesense to find friends on the internet but you dont truly know somebody until you meet them in person and know them for real. When you meet somebody online you dont know them for real. I dont know how to better explain. I'm not trying to piss anybody off but I mean I really wish you would understand its important to make a standing relationship im real life and not virtual life.
Rolf stopped reading there, shame on thou. :facepalm:
Alright, I guess you misunderstood me.
The process is as follows: meet online, exchange a few messages, arrange to meet up, take it from there.
In case of a long distance, exchange messages, video chat, arrange to meet up as soon as possible.
We're not talking about the childish "e-girlfriend/boyfriend" thing here. Just a means to find someone you've got potential with (which is easy to judge by exchanging a few messages) and arrange going for some drinks.
