He seems like such an ass. Like I just picture their relationship months from now and he's all getting her to make him post-sex sandwiches. Him all, biatch, I am a MODEL, from FRENCH!

Online dating: noun. The process by which you waste thousands of hours and even more dollars for what you could have got from a hooker with a five minute conversation and an agreement on price. Often confused for romance, online dating is more a form of tedium that rarely has a good outcome.

martid4: My date rape kit involves Mazola, a drop cloth and duct tape.

 

FTFY

But there's no need to be totally up-front about deeply personal issues (you're an adult bedwetter, you once pooped your pants on live TV).

OH, so NOW they tell me. Thanks loads.

sometimes i forget to wear pants. and wear REGULAR SHORTS INSTEAD!!

makes it breezier

Krieghund: I just take them out in my boat. I always score. Because of the implications.

bighairyguy: Women: Have a good explanation for why you are 50 pounds heavier than your profile picture.
Men: Have a good explanation for why you are 6 inches shorter than your profile height.

I'm a legit 6-foot-4, but I've thought about lying about it on my profile, because I think it scares away the women who are shorter than, say, 5-foot-6. Women want tall men, but not that much taller than them.

I, my sister, my father (new wife), and my old coworker all met our spouses online. It's more likely than you think. The list is actually some pretty good advice; I wish it had been written back in the day when I first started using Match, although I only violated two of those a little bit. FWIW, the coffee scenario worked best for me.

Why wasn't I informed of this??
Was there a memo??

I am 5'3' and my ex-hub is 6'4". Don't cut us short girls out of the equation.

Best thing to happen on my last date was for both of us to arrive, look at each other and say, "Oh good. You look way better than your pictures."

6'7" here. You got it easy. I've thought about doing the same thing.

My online relationship got me two weeks with a cool girl from Hawaii. Now I have free lodging on Maui coming up this winter. Disclaimer: Known the girl for 20 years.

We didn't divorce over height. The tall thing was hot.

I wouldn't. I can still recall the woman that wrote, "Sorry, but if you're shorter than 6-feet-2, don't bother. My dream guy has to be taller than 6 feet."

/Good luck on finding that someone special, honey
//I sound short

Not that I have the numbers to make a proper conclusion, but this is what I've learned from my female friends: Tall & handsome > Tall & Ugly > Short & handsome > Short and Ugly. So take solace tall guys, your height that you didn't have to work for does more for you than the 5'5" guy's sixpack.

martid4: Yeah, like you've never taken a chick back to her house passed out drunk, lean her against the door, ring the doorbell and run like hell. So many dates ended this way. Not to mention they are hard to carry after dipped in Mazola.

I'm 6'5", met my wife online, who is 5'4", and on this topic you're wrong.

Besides, it doesn't matter when you're lying down.

By the way, this list was pretty on target.

Also, not via online, but I did have a couple of tall (over 5'11") women ask me out specifically because I am tall. Don't short change yourself out of what might be a good thing.

I don't understand all this. Do people really do all this silly stuff when dating? That must explain why so many talk about their exes as if they never really knew them -- they probably didn't. Just be yourself, and don't stress over it. If you're with someone for any real length of time, especially intimately, they're going to figure out who you really are sooner or later. If they're not going to like that person, isn't it better to avoid the needless stress of a misguided relationship based on misconceptions in the first place? And if the goal is to get into someone's pants, just be straight about that, and maybe you will, but still save both of you the needless hassle of a relationship neither of you really wants.

I liken this to the countless bits of advice about job interviews. I also believe in just being yourself there, too. If you and your prospective employer aren't actually likely to function well together as who you both really are -- which neither of you can help being, on the actual job -- then isn't it better to figure that out during the interview, so you can both move on to better options sooner rather than later, and avoid suffering through the needless frustration of working with someone you don't work well with?

I don't see any difference there: If you're hoping to be close to someone, you should hope to be close to someone who's going to like who you really are, not who you're capable of temporarily pretending to be. If you have to work that hard just to keep someone's attention for forty minutes, I think something's wrong.

Why does it say no dinner dates?

Wrong.Trust me, a lot of women dig very tall men. I consider 5' 6" to be short.
I don't want to be taller than him when I'm wearing 6in heels. I prefer for my man to be at least a foot taller than me. I'm 5'2'

95629: Why does it say no dinner dates?

So you don't get stuck with a wildebeast for an hour and a half.

The very first meeting of anyone you met online should be done over coffee or something equally simple. Do it at lunch so neither of you will have much time (or at least you have an excuse to end it). If that works out then set up a real date later. Don't waste time on actual dates with people you have never met, that's stupid.

I went on a post-OKCupid date recently.
She forgot to shave her moustache.
I was willing to forgive her that, but clearly I did something she was less willing to forgive.

Well, did you stare at her mustache?

Wear....pants....? What means wear pants? I will wear my robe and wizard hat; just the way god intended.

/ online dating; you'll meet some really nice people, then you'll discover why a 33 year old woman doesn't have a boyfriend or kids.

// big hint: she's tots cray cray

What I took away from the article is you basically try not to have an online relationship with someone. Just use the web to become acquaintances, so you don't know too much before you meet. Go back to using physical sexual attraction as the major deciding factor. I've been that route and have two divorces to prove it.

I used to chat a lot. One girl and I used to message each other every few days about stupid stuff that was going on. This went on for almost two years. There was the normal BS stuff in the beginning, but having a post history made it pretty hard to keep a false story straight. We got to know each other and would call BS if things got OT. Found out our personalities had a lot similarities after the first year. People tend to talk about things with a safe anonymous stranger they wouldn't with people they might see the next day.

We decided to marry before we even met. The deal was no set date and opt out clause at any time. We met once; it was like knowing someone you've never seen. We knew everything about each others families, likes and dislikes - kind of odd how easy it was. We moved in together after meeting once. After a year we were taking a drive and the marriage date thing came up. Reno was 8 hours down the road. We've been married 12 years. We talk all the time and don't fight about anything. That's one advantage about long term online relationships, you don't have the body language signs to know when you've crossed lines - so you don't know when to shut up. The other person gets to know you well. If you don't know something after a couple years of in depth chat, something's wrong.

We really complement each others personality types and can enjoy experiences like you would not believe. Of course, we have very different clothing styles and people think it's odd when we talk on facebook across the room from each other - Hey, it works for us.



Three chat sessions before meeting? Waste of time in the long run. There's easier ways to find an ex-wife.

Did you spend the whole date talking about her mustache? Or just mustaches in general, hoping that she'd take the hint? I bet it was the mustache.

OgreMagi: To put it short. What's this "what's this real-life date you speak of?"

It's quite simple. Despite what people say, we do not live in a particularly open society. It's all mapped out. Go to school, meet someone, get married. This must be done before 30 at the most. Everything in society is built around that. There are no institutions or rules about how older people are supposed to meet. What's worse is the differences between men and women really amplify the older you get. A 40 year old man could still look youthful, like me, and look completely ridiculous going out with a big, matronly 40 year old woman with a butch hairdo and flower-print dress.
