For the past year, I've been using online dating because I really don't have a lot of time (with my career) to invest in meeting women. I've learned some things but also have a lot to learn. I'm hoping for your advice.
So first thing, you hit it off with someone on [your site of choice] and after a couple of emails she wants to text. Fine, numbers exchange. I find it tends to very quickly escalate, lots of texts all day, every day. I have no time for this, nor do I actually have much interest in getting to know a woman that way. Rather do it in person.
How do you guys handle this? What's with all the f'ing texing??
Pictures Online and profiles. I have learned, through experience that if a woman has pictures taken above her head, and no full body pics she is probably chunky possibly fat. Especially if she is contacting YOU. It means her SMV is low. My personal philosophy is not to respond to these women, having been burned a few times now. Just a tip.
I recently broke my rule, and we migrated from the online site to texting, who revealed enough information for me to use Google to figure out who she was, find full body pics of her on the web and guess what? Yup, she's pretty overweight. I feel that this is dishonest behavior. We had set up a possible date but now I don't want to meet.
She's a decently nice person. Do any of you have any non-a55hole suggestions on how not to meet/date/whatever? I'm just not into fat chicks.
I've found dating in 30/40s to be pretty discouraging and largely a waste of time, well, online dating anyway. Seems like there are a lot of dishonest women out there.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
