For those of you who think online dating is a waste of effort...

[Francisco d'Anconia]

... here's something that will make you feel justified in your opinions. Although this is from Craigslist which I don't feel depicts true online dating (same with MySpace), I think posts like these just make guys really bitter.

"I'll know it when I see it." - 37
* NOTE: It's her "P.S." that ticks off the guy that responds with this message:

I don't get it, it doesn't seem too bad. So she's a little nerdy (what's Rubennesque?), and she's 37 years old. Everyone has a few flaws.

Online dating is pointless. Using online as a supplement to meeting new girls for offline encounters is beneficial.

******** for fat.

Anyway as for her ad I dont really see anything out of the ordinary, seems just like your regular Western chick ad to me. She "thinks" she wants the supplicating guy who will bend over backwards for her and fullfill her overblown material wants, hell the b!tch even mentions wanting to be taken to "independantly owned"(expensive) restaurants in 2 seperate paragraphs. etc etc yada yada *Yawn*

Has nothing to do with us here does it?

 

[diplomatic_lies]

Oh so she's fat? Now I kind of get it.


This one is kind of weird:

I thought that was the whole point of online dating sites. Isn't it?

You post a profile, send a message to someone else who interests you, hopefully you "click," and then you meet in real life.

What else can you do with online dating?

CRAP! It must be in my cache. It was just a pic of a REALLY rubenesque woman. I couldn't count the rolls of fat there was so many... Anyway, I guess you had to have been there....

FRom my personal personals experience I can offer a simple tip on how to figure out her weight without a pic.
If her emails is oddly long from the very begining, much longer than yours, it is a sure sign she might be really overweight.

I realize it in their profile if they describe their hair/eye color and height without mentioning their weight or body type. Couple that with the fact that they won't post their picture and I see red flags and flashing red lights.

Rubennesque means she's fat.

Online dating....

I've pulled hot chicks off the Internet.

The thing is you just have to move on if the chic doesn't play into your hand easily. Do not waste too much time on it. Go in, fire off a billion spams, and wait for replies. Filter the replies to only the ones that give up #s quick. Call but if you cant get a date, bail. Always see pics of her BODY before driving more than 15-20 min to meet a chic. Lie and say you live further away so you have an excuse to stay the night. You can always say you moved closer if things get serious.

It's not perfect, it's not a crutch for approaching women in person, but it can provide a few extra chics. Worst part is even in big cities, any given site will cease to provide much results after a while.

Some people - such as a former roommate I had while living on campus - had "internet girlfriends" that they've never seen, probably never will see... and were happy with that. It's worse than pathetic.
