My last internet arranged date had beard stubble. She was a genetic female and her photos were 6 years old. At some point in that time she had her ovaries removed and put on a zillion hormones. I felt so bad for her I hung out for a while and chatted. I think that's all she really wanted anyway.

Yep. if your picture is at an extreme angle, 9/10 of them are trying to hide how fat they are, or similar.

How about requiring any profile pics to have them holding the newest apple product? Then you at least know it's a recent photo. And, who doesn't have a new apple product leveling a table.

How is a "background check" supposed to protect you from "weirdos"?

Things that might show up on a background check:
1. Police record
2. Credit worthiness
3. Previous addresses
4. Aliases

Things that don't show up on a background check:
1. Fetishes
2. Other girlfriends
3. The fact that he is just starting his transformation into Buffalo Bob

thats why all my pics are dead on, with the boner prominently displayed.

One girl I know has angled her pic so she's photographed from slightly-behind her right ear, showing right profile only - this hides the fact she is wall-eyed. In the pic she is incredibly hot, in real life every guy she has met on a blind date has walked away after 5 minutes. The angle of the pic is also shot into the sun so it makes ginger hair look blonde. This may be a contributory factor.

Is that how it's done these days? You set up a date and go to meet someone and you walk away within five minutes? Or consider it charity to talk to someone for more than five minutes? All because of how they look?

That's deep.

When you misrepresent what you look like yes.

I've been lucky that I haven't been on a date where the woman has outright lied with her profile pictures. Or, maybe I'm so scared of being duped that I'm very, very cautious that it will happen, so I'm overly picky.

I've been asked why I don't post more pictures, and I'm sure the women think I'm the one trying to be intentionally dishonest. I hate taking pictures, and the truth is that I'm abysmally the exact opposite of photogenic. Hideous, really, but that didn't stop the women from making out with me at the end of the night, so who's lying how, huh?

I have no idea where I'm going with this.

Hey! I know! Let's make it compulsory to have a background check before someone ever talks to you!

See a pretty girl at the coffee shop? Better have your background check ready!
That waitress asks for your order? Don't say a word until you provide a background check!
Someone sneezes? ...

I want to punch everybody in this commercial, especially the lady talking about her growing family.

Met my fiancee on match.com. She's been through the crucible of my weirdness and actually enjoys it. That's how you define a keeper.

CSB time?

A few years ago I was in Boston with some friends for a bachelor party they were having for a guy a barely knew. It was an excuse to get out of Kentucky basically. ANYHOO, as the strippers, dildos, and cocaine flowed and frolicked freely I started to get a little woozy and stepped out into what was basically a vacant lot. Oh I forgot the numbers were 5 "strippers" and 15 of us. Sitting out on the concrete steps was one of the first girls there and she was crying her eyes out over her Mom taking her kids away from her again because she was late on some payment and this party wasn't going to cover it. I saw the setup and waited for her to pitch the classic, " I need to make this money fast... How about a blow job for $xyx? You look like you can afford it"

I was drunk and what do you know I had the amount of money in my pocket. We step over to my buddies car and she's crying again before I even get my dick out. I grab her arm and we walk over to this 7/11 type bodega dump and get a couple of cokes. We sit outside and she tells me her whole lifestory from growing up near Buffalo to meeting this girl that dragged her to Boston and once she was here she starts in on the crazy levels of hard drugs and gets knocked up. No idea who the Dad is and all that type of shiat you hear in these stories. I figure I'm out the $50 or so I gave her for the head, but when we go back in and take our coats off she hands it back to me and just says "At least you listened." Not a thank you or anything just acceptance on her part that I didn't have to listen to her cry when all I wanted was my dick sucked. As the drugs were snorted and smoked up the girls thinned out and the chick who arranged it all asked me if she blew me, I just smiled and said something stupid like "I don't kiss and tell".

She just shrugged her shoulders and said "Jessie just blabs she never blows"

8.5 Billion dollars in debt, and this is getting table time.

You know who's pushing for this legislation, and possibly even wrote the bill? The old traditional brick-and-mortar matchmakers who charge $1000 or more up front. The ones who claim they do provide background checks. They want this legislation to make the reasonable-cost online services look worse. They want to hinder their competition. quote "You try to legislate into law your business model."
