Maybe the current generation just didn't have something like the AIDS scare to keep their junk in their pants.

The 60s and 70s also saw a huge upswing in STDs. 'Free love' leads to this kind of thing.

I apparently have no game at online dating. Or real life dating, for that matter. Too busy having fun and not hanging out in bars, i guess.

shiat.

from the article:
"If I put 20 disease investigators in the field and they followed those 55 people around who have syphilis, could I probably get rid of it?" Walker asked, "Yeah, but that would cost about $400,000."

Would be cheaper to hire a hit man.

Don't have sex with black people and your chances of catching an STD go WAY down.

"You don't have to spend a week in a bar to find somebody your comfortable with," said St. Louis Health Director Pam Walker, "People are doing it online and they're doing it faster."

Article fails in the second paragraph.

BurnShrike: "You don't have to spend a week in a bar to find somebody your comfortable with," said St. Louis Health Director Pam Walker, "People are doing it online and they're doing it faster."

No, I thought that too, but after further review I think the writer of the article just decided to indicate in print just how stupid the interviewee is.

Online Hookups Blamed For Jump In Sexually Transmitted Disease

So... Fark is a bad place to pick up chicks?

/EIP

Who in the heck spends a week in a bar looking for someone you're comfortable with in order to hook up? Booze allows you to be comfortable with someone you'd probably be very uncomfortable with normally. The internet has nothing to do with with it.

I thought the recent jump in STDs were caused by oldies doin' it more thanks to the all the penis pills out there.

Walker says 90 percent of the some 400 new cases of gonorrhea and 126 new cases of chlamydia are African Americans between the ages of 15-to-24.

Come on now, blacks ain't got no computers!

That's why I only spank them and then have them manually stimulate me.

Jack Black 62: Don't have sex with black people and your chances of catching an STD go WAY down.

As someone studying epidemiology, I won't disagree with you.

That article suffers from ADHD.

Guns n' Farkin Roses: Come on now, blacks ain't got no computers!

What are you talking about? One of them has mine!

*ducks*

So does doing it online mean that my computer is in danger of contracting a CTD (computer transmitted disease)?

Should I protect myself my putting a condom on my flash drive?

There. Now I can have safe cybersex online.

I especially like the ones who claim to be "D&D free, or "suppressed" (but have had one before), and won't date anyone who has ever had an STD, treated and cured or not.

So, the article is telling us that gays and blacks on the internet are the cause of rising STDs?

Gay men who know they are HIV positive account for the all of the new syphilis cases

Huge Upswing would make a great name for a pr0n actor.

How many of these hooks-ups are off Craigslist?

That's about right.

Before you bag her, sheath your dagger.

Before you hump, cover your stump.

Wrap that rascal!

If you think s/he's spunky, cover your monkey.

You won't get sick if you wrap your dick.

Don't be a fool, rubberize your tool.

Before you enter the bearded clam, cover up your pygmy man.

Yuck. People should be required by law to step on a scale before they are allowed to buy Spandex.

Is she...using two modified camping chairs to support her girth? And drinking a bottle of Miracle Whip?! What the frick?

Online dating is great.

You can just chat on the website and women get to know the general stuff about you. That way you don't have to have the dumb conversations face-to-face -- "Where did you do to school? Why'd you pick that job?" etc.

You can meet at a bar, have a few drinks, laugh about silly interests (which you pulled off their profile already), and keep the drinks flowing. All of a sudden it's closing time and you throw in the "Well, I only live down the street, lets keep the good times going.", she says yes ..... *BAM*

You just got your window to get laid my friend.

I see you've been reading my blog.

After I moved out of my college town, the internet was responsible for ALL of my hookups. I became pretty good at judging who I should definitely wrap up for, and the ones for which I didn't have to immediately disinfect myself should the latex break.
Then there were those that I couldn't even touch without getting hives... ugghh! *shudder*

/Religious singles site girls were the best, by far, in all regards.

It's a beautiful thing...pre-screening for a bar hookup, plus you get to see them before the beer goggles go on...

Filters for the win. I can avoid hours of meeting single moms and religious nuts with a few clicks of personal preferences. Computer, show me all the hot Asian teens in my neighborhood!

It's mostly hookers. Women are not giving it up for some dufus at a keyboard. Hookers can be fun though, just wear protection.

More likely: You keep the drinks flowing until her cock-blocker shows up.

Just kidding. I did some on-line dating between wives. All but one of the chicks I took out wanted to fark on the first date and one after the first drink. That's just crazy and you never stick your dick in crazy. The other one was a more refined and conservative sort of a gal. She waited until the second date.

AverageAmericanGuy: "Maybe the current generation just didn't have something like the AIDS scare to keep their junk in their pants."

I don't think it's a decrease in safety or concern. I think it's purely an increase in opportunity.
Even an increase in the safety of individual encounters can be quickly overwhelmed in net terms by an increase in frequency of encounters.

It was in the article. Did you even read it?

Here's a little lexicon I came up with some years ago to help guys interpret profiles on on-line dating sites:


She Says...
She Means...

"I'm outgoing"
I'm always out hitting the bars and clubs and flirting with everything in sight. I can't be still for a minute without the help of barbiturates.

"I'm fun-loving"
I'm a party girl, who at 34, still behaves like a horny sorority sister.

"I'm hard working"
Two possible interpretations:
1. I have a low-paying, menial job that I'd give up in a minute if you'll offer to be my sugar daddy.
2. I'm one of those self-important, usually incompetent, but pushy biatches, scrambling up the corporate ladder, hammer in hand, ready to smash that glass ceiling. I'll crush anything and anyone who gets in my way. I'll have about one possible evening per month available. Have your people call mine for something in September.

"I love my kids"
Of course, I love my kids. Every mother loves her kids. Yet the fact that I make mention of something so obvious means that I'm looking for a new daddy for my kids.

"I'm energetic"
I'm manic-depressive and in a manic stage just now. I'll run you round until you drop from exhaustion. But in a few weeks, you'll be hauling me to the ER to get me treated for an overdose.

"My friends say that I..."
Usually seen very near to "I'm outgoing," I mean that wherever I suggest we go on our date, my friends will be there. We'll talk about people and things you don't know about. Oh, and I'll put their drinks on your open bar tab.

"I'm honest"
I'm dishonest.

"I hate players"
I really love players. It's just that you guys have gotten so bad at playing. Throw out a line I haven't heard yet and you'll find my panties on your bedroom floor before midnight.

"No games please"
I'll be the one playing all the games, thank you.

"I keep fit" or "I work out x times per week"
I'm a gym bunny who thinks her shiat doesn't stink. I'm vain as hell and have a whole wardrobe of cute Lycra workout cothing. I've discovered that the gym is a great place to flirt with sweaty, macho guys.

"I'm Independant"
I'm a pushy biatch who cares only about herself. I want to be in complete control. As soon as you express deeper feelings for me, I'll dump you like a bad habit.

"I'm spontaneous"
If I get an opportunity for a date with a better looking man, or one with more money than you have, I'll blow you off with some lame excuse.

"I'm adventurous"
I like to go on weekend trips to exciting and exotic places, and I expect you to buy the airline tickets and make the hotel reservations.

"I'm sexy"
I'm a cock teaser.

"I know what I want"
And it's money and some eye candy to parade with in front of my friends.

"I'm looking for some to hang out with"
I'm looking for someone to pay my way.

"Friends first, mabye more later"
Brace yourself for the longest and most gruelling job interview you'll ever experience.

"I'm exotic"
I'm as crazy as a shiathouse rat!

"I'm very positive"
I'm absolutley clueless about everything of importance. Someone could nuke downtown and I'd say "oh! isn't that mushroom cloud fabulous!?"

"I'm the life of the party"
I'm going to get sloppy drunk when we go out. When you go to the men's room, you'll come out to find me slow dancing with and grinding my crotch into the groin of the guy who was sitting next to us before you left.

"I'm low maintenance"
Two possible interpretations:
1. I'm a pig. I dress like a refugee from a 1960's commune and care absolutely nothing about my appearance.
2. I don't think spending $70,000 of your money money on clothes, shoes, makeup, jewelry, massages, the gym, a BMW, tennis lessons, tanning salons, manicures, a shrink, Paxil, Valium, and requiring that you walk on pins and needles 10 to 14 days per months in order avoid my mindless PMS rants means I'm high maintenance.

"I'm stylish"
I'm a clothes hound. I completely refurbish my wardrobe every year. Everyone at Lord and Taylor and Saks knows me on a first name basis. You're going to spend hours watching me try clothes on. Do these shoes match?

"I'm romantic"
I think rubies and diamonds are very romantic. I want you to be romantic, especially on Valentines day.

"I like art, theater, concerts, and cultural events"
But can afford none of this on my $24,000 salary. Please keep the number to Ticketmaster on you at all times.

"I'm looking for a serious long term relationship"
Duh! My divorce lawyer told me I actually have to be married first before I can ass-rape a guy in family court. What a bother!

"I like fine dining and elegant dinners at home"
If the tab for dinner on our first date doesn't top $200, I'm history. I can't boil water, so you'd better be trained at Escoffier.

"I don't need a man to feel complete"
I don't want a relationship with you. I'm just looking for someone to pick up the dinner tab. I'm considering becoming a lesbian.

"I require total committment"
I catch you even looking at another woman, I'll feed you your balls on a platter!

"I'm passionate"
"I'm so far over the farking top on my issues that I'll make you crazy within a week. And, no, you pig, I didn't mean I was passionate in bed!

"I'm carrying a few extra pounds"
Yeah, like 90 extra. I'm 5' 4", weigh 220 and really give the seams on my size 22 dresses a workout. On a clear day I can be seen from space. But you won't be able to tell much about my size from my air brushed, soft focused glamour shot. When we meet for the first time, I'll be standing right in front of you and you'll be wondering if I've arrived yet. Are you going to finish those fries?

"I'm looking for my soulmate"
I've read so many women's magzines that I couldn't pick reality out of a line-up. If you don't have a diversified and reasonably thick stock portfolio, don't have VP behind your name on your business card, don't drive a Lexus, and don't look like Brad Pitt or Pierce Brosnan, you cannot be my soulmate.

"My friend talked me into this"
And we're sitting here right now, polishing off a bottle of cheap Chardonnay, laughing at your pathetic, gullible ass for falling for this profile.

"I'm a sexy, blond haired, blue eyed uninhibited beauty,seeking an adventourous man to help me realize all my hot fantasies"
I'm a 300 pound, balding, 36 year old, homosexual virgin, who lives with his mother and a miniature poodle. I spend most evening hanging out in a teenage chat room where my handle is "HotTina69." There, I often get 16 year old boys to masturbate in front of their web cams.

Man blacks and gays can't catch a break. Gay blacks are sol.

I never did the internet dating thing... yet. But God knows I've nailed my share of college girls/cougars/still married milfs from bars. I've honestly lost count and that can't be a good thing (other than the stories to tell for years to come). Some day my luck will run out. I hope it's just one of the easy ones that you can treat with a shot or two.

I do know some hot girls that use Match and sites like that. I guess it's good for screening out some of the gym in 26 min types that you may hook up with while on the far side of sober.

hitlersbrain: "Women are not giving it up for some dufus at a keyboard."

A good number of those women are *also* just some dufus at a keyboard.

The old power structure that places women as the party of judgement in the default hetero encounter isn't holding up.
The old social system -- where slut-shaming artificially reduced the pool of women receiving advances (as women waited quietly to be noticed, or simply didn't go to bars or drinking parties for fear of judgement) -- is gone. Women are far more active participants. It's a change for the better.
