A good friend of mine has apparently met this absolutely fantastic guy on some dating site. They've been talking for a couple months now and they're both definitely interested. They're attempting to set up a weekend or so for him to come down and meet in person, but as the guy is from Canada, it's gonna be a bit before that happens.

I have this very :facepalm::trashbear: perspective regarding the whole thing (doesn't help that I've turned into a cynical jaded cunt when it comes to women/relationships, especially online), but I truly hope the best for 'em... but still :facepalm: at the concept.

The girl I'm currently... I don't know the term since we aren't going out but basically both want to, but it's hard to set-up anything to go do, anyway, I met her through a friend on Facebook. :facepalm:

 

We've actually went and done stuff though since we only live like 15 miles from each other, except neither of us can drive and the public transit for both of us is the shits. I don't think that counts as internet dating, but the internet has helped us stay connected, so to speak, since we both prefer it to texting each other. Odd how telephone calls have become cumbersome.

2 online experiences - one was a craigslist hookup - girl was very very hot, all good. 2nd was match.com, completely bogus. I'll never forget meeting her....complete opposite of how she looked in pics....complete biy0tch in person, a weird 180....anyway she walked out of her apt towards me and all i could see were waves of celluliod crashing all about her legs. i almost lost my lunch.

 

sounds like she was a keeper right there. any woman that is daring enough to wear shorts made of film strips must be in-tune with the ways of idm (although slightly ignorant of explosives, i understand your nausea).

if you live in an apartment complex: go to the laundry, if there's a female alone in there doing laundry. strike a conversation... anything! whatever comes to mind. even hello can spark conversations. then show her your drawls!

if she has a small load, most likely she's single.

there was this one girl who i met while doing laundry. she walked in with this amazing angela davis afro (and a great ass). she smiled at me and i said the first thing that came to mind... "nice fro!" she smiled and said thanks. then i said something like "i was gonna ask if you live here but that's a pretty stupid question!" she laughed again and she seemed comfortable enough to keep having a convo. so we did, we may have flirted with each other. she'd bend over to get her laundry to show off that ass in all it's glory. she knows he got it and flaunts it. she basically just gave me one for my spank bank.

Man, when I went to Vegas last month, I had to give a 40-something Indian man advice on picking up girls.

 

Come on, fellas. It's not rocket science....although there is a certain amount of chemistry involved. And if you play you're cards right, some physics!

I use a dating site. Haven't been too active with it lately though, since I'm trying to figure my life out n' shit.

 

Pros: It is 95% girls on the rebound, so getting laid is like shooting fish in a barrel. And honestly, that's all you should use it for. After college ended, I'm stuck in a town where I don't know too many people, so the dry spell woulda been fuckin' excruciating if it weren't for the internet showing me the way. Also, after several dates with girls I would have otherwise never met, or have little in common with, I do have a better idea of what type of girl I would want to be with for a long period of time, when that happens.

 

Cons: Some awkward dates with girls you just want to abandon on the spot. It can be addictive and time consuming.

interesting... i have really good luck in person, but for some reason i've never scored a date from a dating site.

Man, I've talked to a few girls on OKCupid, but haven't set up a date with any of them. I think most moderately attractive people on the site are super picky. I've read tons of profiles where I was like, "Jesus Christ, you won't let anything short of a solid gold 10" dick that cums happiness and money squeeze by your filters, will you, madam?"

The London bit of OKCupid is awesome, met lots of really interesting people. I don't know about the other areas of OKCupid.

OKCupid has a great vibe to it - quirky and funny, and it encourages group discussions (see the journals) which is unusual for a dating site.

Also, their stats blog is fascinating: http://blog.okcupid.com/

 

I've noticed that internet dating (especially on okcupid) is much better now than it was about 5 years ago (the last time I tried it) - presumably because Facebook has made more people 'get' socialising on the net a bit more.

 

My take on it: Internet dating is good for finding _potential_ good matches - IMHO much better than just hanging out in bars hoping to randomly end up talking to someone who you might get on with. But with the internet, until you meet the person in real life, a lot of the things you think you know about them are probably idealizations made up by your mind to fill in the gaps you don't know. Its not that people try to mislead, its just that we tend to idealise. So: use it to find potentially interesting people, chat a bit, then try and meet IRL earlier rather than later.

 

Meeting a partner through a mutual friend is perhaps the best way, but after that I'd put internet dating ahead of 'meeting someone in a bar' or 'meeting someone at work'.

 

Meeting someone at your kickboxing/shark fishing/archery/whatever class would also be towards the awesome end of the scale, as is meeting someone at university.

 

Hmm so overall, thats:

 

The hierarchy of cool ways to meet a partner:

 

Through a friend >> At a (insert hobby here) class >> at university >> internet dating >> in a bar >> in the office
