Online dating sucks!

[justanotherguy]

Alright, I tried the online dating thing because a lot of people I know have done it and swear by it, so being open minded, I decided to try it out.

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but it seems like everyone freaking lies when it comes to their pictures! I talked to several who looked really good in their pictures. I friended all four on facebook, but after seeing the other pictures of two of them, both were fatties (not even nice thick). I met with the other two and one talked about anime for hours and the other one was a fatty too, the pictures she has up were like from several years ago or something.

How do people swear by internet dating? I thought it would be nice and easy since I don't have to move my ass getting dates, but I completely wasted a good portion of my precious week off pursuing this crap. Now I have four friends on Facebook that I don't want to have and my email box is flooded from exchanges and whatnot. Plus, I wasted 12 bucks on beer at a bar I went to with one.

My conclusion: internet dating sucks ass and takes way more time than just asking someone out in real life. I'm sure there's someone cool on it, but I'm not going to sift through a bunch of profiles only to find that I'm still shooting in the dark. Eff that.

The sad part is you're doing better than 90% of other guys if you actually went on a date in with one within a week (even if she was a fatty).

Yes, internet dating sucks, don't let anybody else tell you otherwise. They are either lying or extremely attractive.

Yeah, at least look at it that way. You've had more dates than I've had in say....the whole YEAR. So, don't be discouraged. Another good thing, sometimes those "fatties" have REALLY cute girl friends. Make friends with the girl, make sure she knows you wanna be friends, she talks about you to her hot friends....you know the rest lol.

I shall bestow some wisdom upon your character.

Ok, that's a start.

You are stating the obvious.

I talked to several who looked really good in their pictures. I friended all four on facebook, but after seeing the other pictures of two of them, both were fatties (not even nice thick).

I had a worse case. I talked to this chick on Online Booty Call and made a 20 min. drive from Lithonia to Decatur (this is Georgia folks) When I met her and she dropped her pants, I nearly cried and vomitted when I noticed that she had a goddamn penis!

I met with the other two and one talked about anime for hours and the other one was a fatty too, the pictures she has up were like from several years ago or something.

Women lie homie.

How do people swear by internet dating?

God knows.

I thought it would be nice and easy since I don't have to move my ass getting dates, but I completely wasted a good portion of my precious week off pursuing this crap. Now I have four friends on Facebook that I don't want to have and my email box is flooded from exchanges and whatnot.

You got more dates than you expected. Your self esteem got shot too by going out with fatties. They seemed smarter than you by ducking behind a supermodel. Have you ever tried posting a male model pic and saying it's you?

Plus, I wasted 12 bucks on beer at a bar I went to with one.

At least you had female companionship.

My conclusion: internet dating sucks ass and takes way more time than just asking someone out in real life.

You can ask out 3 times as many girls in real life in the same amount of time it takes you to get a SLIM POSSIBILITY of a date with one from online.

I'm sure there's someone cool on it, but I'm not going to sift through a bunch of profiles only to find that I'm still shooting in the dark. Eff that.

The only people who are cool on internet dating for the most part are extremely attractive men and delusional men. Internet dating sucks ass. Stick to real life approaches. Your chances will be much better and you know how the woman looks.

Read between the lines. Case closed.

Alright, that was pretty funny. But still, it took a lot of effort getting those dates -- it's not like they came flocking to me or anything. Out of a good amount of no responses those were the ones that were successful and even then, I told them "look, there's a million miles between sending you some retarded wink & proofread emails and actually being your significant other, so stop wasting my time." And still, I had the same result as most everyone else (it seems from these responses), which is nothing.

If it took effort AND they were fat...just stop entirely. How much of your life are you going to waste on this?

Oh trust me, I'm done -- that's the point of the thread.

However, I did have a little of fun. You can eff around on it -- I responded to like 20 people and in like 10 of them I said some pretty funny stuff. I wrote to couple of them (one of them was one of the ones who responded), "I'm not going to lie, you're really bang'n. You could have a swastika tatooed on your forearm and I'll at least hear you out on your explanation for it." To another one I said, "I'm not anymore proud of using the internet to meet people than you are. If this works out, we can just lie to everyone and make up some bullsh*t story about how we met in real life at an AA meeting or something." And to one who had a pretentious profile, "You're favorite authors are Ayn Rand and Noam Chomsky? You're either really awesome or a charlatan. I'm willing to bet that you haven't read either of them."

I figure you gotta find ways to have fun with the process, otherwise it's torture.

I'm a pretty normal guy and I have been getting laid like a champ from online.

Ofcourse I was smart about it, and researched sosuave and searched for old threads from years ago that dropped great knowledge about the online dating game. I saved all that great knowledge and put it to wonderful use and now I am getting all sorts of women.
