Online Dating - Anyone tried/willing to share experiences and/or tips?

[Zoolander]

Majority of women I have been with I could put that "but she turned out to be crazy" line. I can't say I have the same frequency with your other line "had lots and lots of sex with a very hot chick."

Damn right it was worth it.

This site has made me realize just how shallow I am though. Sometimes I wish I was attracted to fat chicks, I mean honestly life would be awesome if I was.

Ha, no idea what he did to, um, die there.

That or he did it on purpose and didn't care if the other dude got brain spray.

Someone did that a few days ago at the local range. Rented a gun and a few boxes of rounds. Only needed the one :D

A friend of mine met his gf on match.com, and they have been together for at least 5 years now and living for 3. So it's not all bad and things do work out sometime even with online dating.

The range I go to doesn't let you rent a gun alone (unless you also bring one in), for that exact reason.

I really think this sometimes, but then I remember I love having sex standing up, and I hate a vag that smells like and tastes disgusting

Tips, eh? Well, all I can say is that take your time. Do your research; you must be able to answer basic questions like, "who is this girl/guy?", and "what is the likelihood that I'm going to wake up with a decapitated horse's head next to me?".

As for experience... well, last time I went on a blind date, this girl is not exactly a looker. But her rack... oh God, she wore this low-cut shirt that shows her glorious, bountiful bosom. Guys walking by would quite openly look and stare - and who can blame 'em? I have to say that it is an immensely enjoyable experience.

I signed up for OKCupid when I first moved to Austin. I've talked with a bunch of girls but for whatever reason, even if they're cool and the conversation is going well they straight up stop responding when I ask if they want to grab a bite somewhere. I never understood why. I think I'm going change my income to 80k - worked for Seph, hahaha.

I looked into PlentyOfFish at the suggestion of a friend from HS who met her boyfriend on there. I've messaged a bunch of people, but most of the messages haven't been read, and I only got a response from one - ironically the only girl I thought was cute but really didn't have much in common with. Been talking with her for a few weeks now, but she's a college student from another city so she won't be here until August. Sadly, the vast majority of single girls in my area/age range are single moms, which is a hell no.

First girl I meet turned out to be meh, hella wishywashy about everything.

Just found another girl a few days ago who signed up the day previous of my search; Shes got a 97% similarity to me, seems pretty awesome, and actually seems interested >.>

But have you gotten laid yet?

I've always wondered about online dating and how successful it is. This has been a great read and I now plan to use okcupid and plentyoffish after I move in six weeks.

I was in a relationship for 5 years(22-27)when my ex suddenly broke it off. I decided to move to Florida from Ohio to try something new as I had lived in Michigan my entire life excluding 10 months I spent in Toledo, Ohio. After a time of depression/sadness/whatever you get after a long relationship, I got a job and started putting myself out there socially for mainly new friends in my new area and kept an eye open for a chick I could meet.

I don't know if it's the area I live in Florida(Sarasota), but girls are super stuck up and the majority of them I've met think they are all beauty queens even when I'd give them a 6/10. I'd say I'm a decent looking guy, average build, and I do have my shit together as far as my personal life but no luck.

What's funnier to me is trying to make new guy friends seems just as difficult if not more. I've said something to guy coworkers about hanging out at clubs, sporting events, etc and I get that "are you coming on to me?" look. Try and strike up a conversation randomly with strangers and they look at you like your a serial killer. It's funny and sad at the same time.

After getting re-settled in Michigan I'll register for the sites and even look into more of the "networking" websites for more friends. One thing that struck me while reading this thread was how many have said they get great feedback from people they message with similar interests. Looking back at my ex, I think we had grown apart for quite some time because we really didn't share too many things in common. She hated ffxi and all other games I got hooked into, rock/metal music, etc etc. I don't want to go thru that again really.

lol, I grew up in Sarasota/Bradenton area and I'm currently down here for the summer. I feel your pain man. There are a fuck ton of old people and finding normal, intelligent and chill younger people is pretty fucking tough. Literally every single chick I've messaged/been interested in around this area on OKC is a New College student, and that is a fucking tiny college. Its barren out here, I can't wait to go back up to Tampa/finish my degree and move somewhere else like DC, Denver, Cali, or NYC.

Want to get a chick in Sarasota? Buy them weed.

That's all they do there.

Truth lol. We do have pretty awesome mids around here, probably that and the beaches are the best things sarasota has going for itself.

[Mikus]

Truth posts on Sarasota. I get hit on by the MILFS all the time when I'm out. Not that I mind cause yeah there are a lot of good looking older women here.

[Cyn]

awesome mids

What.

[Zoolander]

What.

are you going wut at the notion of awesome and mids being in the same phrase, or that sarasota has good mids?

The latter...they (at least what I get) are far and away the best mids I've ever gotten and that is the story for most people I know. The former....eh I prefer my "daily weed" to be mids. Higher grade stuff has been posing problems for me lately as well, and I enjoy mids still.

One of the best things about delivering pizzas around Lakewood Ranch is all of the hot MILFs I get to see during the day. There are so many of them, answering the door in their tight workout clothes and what not. So many hot ones lol, I would of done horrible things to this one I delivered to yesterday. I wonder if they do it on purpose, answering the door in what amounts to a bathing suit.

Oh and I haven't really been much of a pot smoker for years, so maybe I can just be choosy, but mids are fucking terrible. The money you save buying it is lost due to the fact that you have to smoke more, and the high isn't as good.
