That and the participation award that makes people believe that in the grown up it entitles them to big raises, bonuses and promotions just for maybe showing up to work.

People are crazy, you never know what they are looking for. I've seen some of the hottest, well educated chicks dating abusive fat guys with no job because they need validation and don't want to be alone.

I think online dating makes things 100% harder because it is all taking people at face value. I've met chicks online that were so-so in their pictures, but the messages seemed pretty funny. Ended up meeting and they were hotter in person and the personality was icing on the cake.

Also never try to use "devices" to get a girl, such as money, an M3, a boat, talking constantly about how well you are doing in your career, etc. Those will never work, and most women see right through it. Some of the most attractive women I've dated I met when I was broke in college with nothing but my personality to attract them. Most of them are attracted more to the connection you have with the thing than the thing itself. I'll use a boat for example. They don't really care that you have a boat, it's that you are a fun guy who likes going out and doing things, being on the water, living life, etc.

When a friend of mine first bought his BMW before I even knew anything about them, I jokingly asked him if it was a chick magnet. He said don't even get me started, I have more guys coming up to ask me about my car than anything else.
Well said sir!

I have been on online dating many years since the glorious days of IRC. Those days that you only could chat with people. Well I have many horror stories and when I say horror I mean it, however I have also met very good and hot girls.

The best rule I have discovered is the 5 minute first date. You meet her and if you like her you arrange a second meeting. If no you split as strangers who had a quick chat.

By the way I wish I could see a similar topic with the women participating in it. It would be very interesting...

We did have the same topic in the past with girls participating.

I have the same complaint as most of you. People just show up looking different from their pics. Guys who claim to be fit but then show up with a beer gut... it's not the extra weight I care about, it's the deception that's annoying.

Third time lucky.

1. I tried it 9 years ago. A lady messaged me and spooked me. She wanted d**k pics and it turned into a you go then I go webcam thing... except when we went live she didn't show anything... she said she suffered from low self esteem and that I would find her unattractive. She said she had to go. The chat ended. I was ill for a week. Man flu. She kept blowing up my phone: "I told my mum I found a guy. She didn't think I could do it. I feel like cutting myself if you don't talk to me." I had never heard of cutting before so asked her to talk me through what she would do. She said the only way she wouldn't cut is if I took her out for dinner. Needless to say the burner had served it's purpose and I never looked back.

2. I came across this pretty young thing and we hit it off. Some tastes were similar. Otherwise I was interested because she was teaching me a thing or two about music. Her profile said she was 5ft. We agreed to meet the same day. I couldn't find her when we met. Something grabbed my hand. I looked around and then looked down to my legs and it was her. She said she could be herself with me and the reason she didn't declare her height was because she knew a guy wouldn't want a midget. I thought what the hell let's eat as we're both hungry. In the restaurant she could hardly reach over the table. The evening went okay but night was too intense. I came home that night to a two page e-mail about how I had complete her and she didn't want to be intense but she was in love with me. I was thinking I don't even know you for a minute. I said we should take it easy and she said: "I knew you were like the others!" The next day another e-mail about how I could be a good husband as it felt right to her. Her mate hosted a radio show and gave me a shout out for making his friend happy. He invited me to a stand up comedy act. I went and the comedy was poor. I left that night. She was all over some other guy that evening. The next week on Facebook I see wedding photographs and comments on how she had met him at a comedy night. It was too intense and to tell someone you love them within hours is a bit much. We parted on good terms. I told her I was happy for her and she told me that guy could have been me. In my head I was like: I don't think so!

3. Fed up with both these experiences I decided to overhaul my profile. I was blunt and clearly stated 'if you're looking for someone you want to get to know and promise not to tell me you love me after a few hours then read on...' My family is quite broken so I said I don't speak with my younger sister or father. He has been an awful father. That I am a little lost with my career but I am a live in carer part time for my grand father for now. Followed by the usual taste in music, movies and, how I spend my time... I was contacted by someone who said they felt a little lost in life too and wanted to meet someone and see where it went - that she had some family drama and could relate. Let's say I haven't put the phone down since. We met the next day, took it slow and, I respected her... by the end of the year we were engaged and married after two... my best friend, my soul mate... It's coming up to 10 years next year! Strained relationships are no longer as bad (although not perfect) but that is the power of love and she has helped me to heal in places I didn't want to face. She tells me I bring out the best in her. We have had some ups and downs as it goes but mostly ups. The only way is up. I thank the big G every day.

Exchanged numbers with a girl yesterday & natural progression is to setup a real life date, no?

So I go to do that & she starts flipping out (via text) about too soon or whatever & people use the site for sex, selling drugs, etc...then she says she's not looking for a bf. I said "We haven't even met yet, I don't want to be your bf lol" She then blocks me WTF?!

My experience has been most women want to chat/text, even talk on the phone for a bit before they would want to go out on a date. They want to make sure you're not an ax murderer. Are you an axe murderer?

that is the complete opposite of my experience. i usually try to get the number and set up the date within 10-15 messages. most girls who aren't down by then are just trying to chat/waste time and have no real intentions of meeting.

+1

I just tell them right away that I'm an axe murderer and they are usually fine with it.

I'm 27, and honestly I can't really say there is much of a difference between the women in their mid 20s and the ones in their early 30s. Some have no clue what they want, some do. Their personality seems to be more of a factor than age. A lot of people tell me I act mature for my age. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I don't usually take bullshit from people. If there is any sign of it I move on, not worth my time. Being cautious is one thing, and I completely get that, but constant mixed messages is another.

Guys have to be mindful too. You never know who is really on the other end of the conversation. On the news a few months ago a guy was robbed and assaulted when he went to meet someone from an online dating site. He showed up, met the girl, and she said she needed to grab her wallet from inside her house and invited him inside. When he went inside two other men jumped him, robbed him, and assaulted him.

I get the same thing as upstatedoc does, but I also do what you do with get things lined up sooner rather than later. That does weed out the time wasters.

I'm on the wrong side of 35 & I have met & talked to women from early 20s to 50s. Age has no bearing on who will or will not waste my time as all ages do it.

I can understand that with women in their mid 30's and up but for women in their 20's you def need to change your game if it takes any longer.

im 28 but usually only get interest from girls around 22-24. idk why, maybe because I look young, but women my age don't seem to be interested even tho I'm well educated with a good career and all that boring shit I thought older women were supposed to care about. it sucks because the younger girls are usually only into casual bullshit and I'm am the point where I want to settle down and meet a good girl.
