Dating websites : yay or nay?

[mellowinman]

Well.. I've seen advertisements for dating websites for decades, but all I want to know : are these things really good for finding a partner?

I doubt it...

Today is my thirteenth wedding anniversary. We met on a dating website in December of 2000, had our first date in January 2001. On our second date, in February of 2001, I proposed, and we were married in July of that year.

She has made my life a living hell ever since, but I got even.

I have made hers even worse.

So no.

I've met #4, she was very....progressive. Never let on that she gave a ****. Dropped her after a few of her tight scheduled life dates.

Damaged ones were fun to meet once, and memorable. They just seemed charged to me. Not really hurt, just totally willing to try to spring to the next, and then they'd bounce back like "this is the kind of guy I could end up with?" Lol.

Boring goes both ways. Some are nice. Some aren't. The ones that aren't just creep me out.

6 I've met. Very....intellectual. Seems to be the kind of person that wants something at every place they go, but they never find what's "just right" so they leave.

Weird ones are rare.

All in all, I feel like an untouchable compared to girls I've met. That's literally the only reason I keep going for it; because I just wonder if I'll smarten up. And I'm still "shy" (in the sense I leave people alone, not that I don't know how to bother people).


Yea I've gotten to that place as well. I just feel numb and willing to just "play the part" to see someone who appreciates me sometimes because it beats calling most girls out on their BS when I'm pretty sure all they're after is a lump of another human being to puppy follow them to their expectations.

Damaged ones can be fun to meet - if you're thin-skinned and not needy. I'm very humored by everything in life (I laugh too much for some people), so at the end of the day many of these women were what I call "comedic tragedy". Some were just plain tragic though and not funny at all.

I met more than a few who were sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. One of them ended up driving 2 hours to Rochester to meet some rich man on some mansion row and he locked her in the house and almost raped her. She ran out of gas as she only had one way's worth. She managed to use her phone and call someone. Turns out he wasn't tall brown and handsome...he was old and fat.

Russian brides for a few grand?

Unless you keep on storage, you'll have to go out for one. Possibly you could get one who delivers.

Is it luck?

Man...after reading this thread I am glad I am happily married. If I had to date again, I would be like a 13 yo at his first junior high dance.

C'mon man. You know you can't keep all the good positions all to yourself. That's simply not fair.

Well aren't you the selective one when you're seeking out equality. You're practically a feminist.

If equality were meant to be in the bedroom, then my girlfriend would have to dress up like a French maid too.

That's not very collectivist of you.
