Online dating sites? Really? Because no one ever exaggerates on the Internet, right?

LOL.

If I were single and looking to get out and date I would use internet dating sites.

What I did was that I just didn't reply to anyone that I knew I was not going to be interested in. I tried being nice, but some of these dude's get pissed, so it's just better that way. If you find someone you think would be cool, just message them and see what happens

I just went through over 150 dudes. And found 20 that I thought might be cute....might be. Or interesting. I'm looking for friends as well.

More power to you. Dating sites work for many people.

No, but I kinda know what she's into so she has to be selective.

I actually found that people are pretty honest about themselves and upfront about what they want on those sites There are exceptions, of course, but it's not that much different than meeting someone anywhere else. You can meet someone at church, the post office, the library...wherever, and they can lie about themselves

Some old dude just offered to take me shopping.

You should secretly take orders from orgers and go!

Dating sites are like virtual bars or parties. It is a common way in 2011 for people to hookup, meetup, make friends, or actually find something long term.

And it's easier to find what you're looking for because you have the profile to provide you with information about the person and then you can decide from there whether you should try to talk to them or not.

Well. day 3 and what I'm really not liking is all the freaking pressure and attitude from dudes that I'm not responding to - which is like 98% of them.

Gimme a break guys, I have received over 140 messages...give me some fucking time to go through them.

Turns out that there are 10x the amount of dudes on there than there are chicks. That might sound good but what it really means is that any new meat gets harassed to the max.

Erin, that's one of the worst things about it. A lot of those guys have a chip on their shoulder because they don't get the replies that they want. You're not obligated to reply to someone you're not interested in. You'd be wasting your and their time and then they'd probably get even madder when you tell them you're not interested I used to just block anyone that kept harrassing me about not responding

I admire how you carry the cross of hotness. How do you manage day to day?

Consider yourselves lucky, homely girls.

Ignore the pushy ones. If the ones you do like, still respond in a nice way after not immediately hearing from you, go for them.

I can't even give it away.

Kathygee:

Transtation:

Have nursey get-up. Will travel.

maybe that was Popeye responding and he left out a word, just a simple typo...."Blow me(down), you are beautiful"

JustErin said:

Hey, we liked your profile. My boyfriend and I would love to get to know you better. We are not looking for a one night stand but rather more of a long term thing with a girl we click with, but one night stands can be fun too. If you don't like 3somes and new friends, we are sorry to bother you. We could also share some more pics of us. Dave and Amy.

It's the pics you put up. Find pics of an uggo and put those up and people will stop sending you weird shit like that. You'll get only the people who genuinely want friends.

Wait, you consider this site a dating site in some way?

some guys here are datable

Ahem.

...Exactly.

The internet is probably actually the worst place you can go looking for dates, and I seriously mean that. Even going to a bar is better.

To answer your question...

YES giving it a shot. Match.com

NO, haven't had any luck in 2 months yet.

Seems like everyone I've reached out to hasn't enrolled in the site, b/c 90% of my emails remain "unread".

One actually did reply to say she liked my profile & thought I was "hilarious" () but she doesn't go for Separated/Married men.

I haven't given up yet...

You should try the free sites. There are much more people on them and, well, it's free . Okcupid is the best one, in my opinion. Plentyoffish was ok, too

You don't know what picture I used.

But maybe I should not post any pictures at all?

Sure, I'm going to hit up the bar...by myself looking for friends.

I'm going to have to disagree. I did it for a while, I met a lot of people, and it was a pretty positive experience and I found that the people that were serious about meeting others, for whatever it was that they were looking for, were pretty honest about themselves. I could've just had good luck, but it's not that much different that meeting someone in real life You just get to read about them before talking them.

Yeah, after next month I'm not renewing the membership.

I've heard of Plentyoffish before.
