So, I'm sitting around bored after surgery and find this site called OK Cupid. It should be called OKStupid.com. Anyways, I got a free account, corresponded with four different women, and they were all whacked. One girl was really hot, and she was nuttier than a fruitcake! I thought I was a nut...now I'm thinking I'm pretty normal.

I made the mistake of giving this nurse my number, and the phone calls escalated, as well as everything else that screams red flag. Damn, I'm convinced that internet dating is for people who can't meet people in the real world.

Has anyone here ever tried this thing? If so, how did it go?

Internet dating IS for people who cannot meet real women in the really real world....

wel.. it was funny for a little while

LOLZ, that was just too damn much..

hehe that guy is NEKID.

let me know if you want me to take it down.

OMG !!!


I think I'm going to be ill.

If I met a girl online who turned out to be a he, he would be lying in a hospital bed with his jaw wired shut....

I know people who have met through online dating, so it's not impossible. On the other hand, I have heard my share of horror stories.

I met my fiance through her sister... so... go figure.

I think the old saying is true: love will find you when you least expect it.

I've met a lot of great people on line. Some I've grown to love both male and female. But...............
Yes meeting a REAL fresh blood thing is the way to go. I suppose you hafta look at this in a different way as regards Email.

Dunno?

Works for some, not for others. But then that is life itself is it not?

Online dating is THE way people meet these days, just as Craig's List is how you meet musicians and Amazon is how you buy movies and Cds. The percentage of wacky people you might find online is no different than what you would find on the street. Of course, always use your instincts and be careful.

I joined AOL and found the chat rooms many years ago. Got to know some great people. The chat rooms, you could say, were reminisent of.....lets say ham radios back in the day. You have to be very observant and pay attention. There are wackos out there. I had my share of idiots hitting on me.

Longish story a little shorter. I met my husband thru those same chat rooms. We spent a lot of time talking in the chat rooms and we started out as friends first.

We have been together for 14 years now, married for 10 of those years. One very important thing that I think made the difference. We didn't pretend to be something we weren't. Not all of these "connections" worked. But I do know of a couple of them that have.

The chat rooms are a little/lot different from dating sites. I can't even begin to talk about those since I have no experience with them. At the time that I was on AOL, I really was not looking for a man. Lord knows I didn't need that headache ROFL. I was just on AOL for the entertainment of just having fun chatting with others.

I guess I just got lucky

Kruliosis,

It is scary out there. Hiding behind a keyboard is enabling to many of the socially challenged.


Cell phone operators have replaced a good many CB and ham radio operators.

I dont think I want to respond to this post!

LOL Colors!

I guess I should share this. I got into online dating sites not to get dates but as a band marketing tool. Think about if you ever fool with one of these it asks questions about if you like certain genres of music, if you like clubbing, of course location and age. SO I got the not so brilliant idea to use those sites to draw females to gigs. Sounds great on paper til one night in Jackson when around a dozen gals showed up all thinking I was thier date. The bad thing is playing in a band you are a sitting duck. You got to play your show, and cant just run and hide. It made for a very long uncomfortable night, Our singer saw all this and picked up on it and says all right what have you done now.

I did that for about 6 monthes and we actually got some new fans out of it. But from what I saw most of these chicks were just crazy, and not in the good, dont want to take them home to meet the folks way either.

The best line you will see is looking for either and honest guy or a drama free guy, trust me if you see either of those two lines in what they are looking for, RUN TO THE HILLS. These types all you will get is drama, or jealousy issues out of this world!
