Nah it was totally an insult
Nah it was totally an insult
ok, no problem
insults I don't mind, I just hate being confused
We should discuss it some day over a nice piece of fruit pie.
Anyway, I wanted to bring up the fact that the ad people are throwing everything they got at me now that Ive been in this thread.
They have all the bases covered... Older Singles, Filipina Singles, Muslim singles, Jewish singles... only problem is Im not single.
They are going to be disappointed much like the prostitute in Nigeria who was hanging on my sociologist friend. His boyfriend stroked her arm sympathetically "sweetheart, you are tapping a dry vein".
In my opinion, those e-harmony sites do very little for people that are looking for a relationship, online.
I am a HUGE believer in online-dating, but I feel that half the reason why things work out for those that use it is because you have to wade through the stupid people and find the hidden gems. When someone just falls into your lap based on somebody else's work/effort, you take that person for granted and you just kinda run with it since a computer told you it was a good idea. I've seen friends waste tons of money on those services and not one of them has maintained a long-term relationship with the people they've met through e-harmony.
I used POF and Lavalife for 3 years and met a lot of women. Most were 1-date flops, but I met a few girls that lasted longer than that. I still met/dated girls from the real world (gym, Starbucks, clubs/bars) but the majority of the girls I dated were from the internet. When you meet someone from an online dating site, you can go into more details than just their appearance, assuming they know how to put together a decent profile.
*Sorry guys, if you ever claim you approach a woman in a bar because of anything other than her looks, that's straight up BS (unless she's reading The Art of War in a bar, which is neat, but effin' weird)
I met my wife almost 6 years ago on Lavalife, and I couldn't be happier. I had to wade through a bunch of duds to find a good one (albeit her that messaged me) and I appreciated her when I met her, and I still appreciate her, today. We had very little in common when we met, but we've grown together and have found many commonalities over time. Without internet dating sites, I wouldn't have met my wife and I wouldn't have my daughter... so I owe everything to internet dating
My two cents.
Make sure you set up your profile to filter out women that don't mesh with you. My profile pic was me with both index fingers up my nostrils and my profile spoke of cannibals and vegetarians.
My experience with POF is very similar to the above. Lots more duds when you're chatting/hunting for free. Charge $2 to send a message, and all of a sudden, you're getting way more attention from the ladies, since they don't think you're just some troll that wants attention.
