...and TWW isn't e-shame?

10/7/2009 12:21:05 AM

e-shame is a myth


i wonder if when the telephone came out, did people feel ashamed to call somebody on the phone rather than take the donkey into town to talk to somebody face to face

it's 2009. everybody uses the internet. we can stop pretending it's all a bunch of dweebs picking their noses and looking at star trek porn

but that's the exact kind of man i'm looking for

10/7/2009 12:29:37 AM

why are you hating on star trek porn?

10/7/2009 12:37:10 AM

i retract my previous statements.

10/7/2009 12:38:22 AM

fwi, match.com is generally the a) booty call of online dating or b) the drunk ass scramble at last call of online dating

10/7/2009 12:39:15 AM

anybody heard of PlentyOfFish.com? it's in the top 100 sites in the US and is run by 1 guy, plus a few assistants. dude makes $texas

10/7/2009 12:41:50 AM

It works, I've been on a couple good dates from both.

10/7/2009 12:43:05 AM

isn' eharmony the one that is more hardcore?

10/7/2009 12:43:07 AM

eharmony is like the super-secret christian dating coalition that rejects anyone who isn't a WASP

match.com gets old quick because the people are all flakes, but when you actually do go on a date, they tend to be looney

plentyoffish I don't know about - I joined, I saw horrible user experience, and I decided to leave intertron dating alone for a while

10/7/2009 12:48:08 AM

Well I hear craigslist has plenty of keepers on there.

10/7/2009 12:49:02 AM

i get all my brides on craigslist

10/7/2009 12:49:41 AM

Theres a few good ones on match the others are a waste cause everyone that is on match is on the others.

10/7/2009 12:50:59 AM

Match you find a lot of UNC, NCSU and Duke students and grad students

POF has a lot of trash, but a few interesting people

eHarmony I dont have experience, and their commercials annoy me

10/7/2009 12:52:40 AM

TheWolfWeb.com is where it's at.

10/7/2009 12:53:35 AM

My BFF is dating some guy she met off of okcupid.com

I'm just glad I met someone before leaving college so I didn't have to waste my time on dating websites

10/7/2009 12:58:29 AM

there use to be one site that you had to get approved by to be on. but its like the hottest and most successful men and women. I wish i knew that name not that i'd get approved. but i need something like that.

10/7/2009 12:59:04 AM

do you like short men?

10/7/2009 1:02:19 AM

whoa whoa whoa!!!



where's this star trek porn?

10/7/2009 1:40:45 AM

dating is overrated.

10/7/2009 1:42:13 AM

Hi. I'm new to match.com.
Bwn?

10/7/2009 1:51:26 AM

Crystal

10/7/2009 1:53:39 AM

if you go to meet a girl off the internet, there are 3 most likely senarios:

A) you meet said chick, but then she steals your car and your clothes, leaving you to have to walk home in a glazed doughnut costume

B) chick's got a dick yo

C) Hi, im chris hansen, why dont you have a seat over there

10/7/2009 1:56:46 AM

^ lol

10/7/2009 1:57:38 AM

As long as you're DTF, you'll be fine on any of them.

10/7/2009 1:57:53 AM

the only time I ever attempted this, the girl had a kid

10/7/2009 6:11:25 AM

Match was not great for me. I met better guys IRL bc the guys I'm attracted to online tend to have too much in common with me. It was like dating myself. Also, it's almost impossible to judge physical chemistry from pics online. I met a lot of guys who misrepresented themselves in pics.

[Edited on October 7, 2009 at 6:24 AM. Reason : .]

10/7/2009 6:24:08 AM

i think i'd be ok with dating a girl version of myself

i'm kinda awesome

10/7/2009 6:37:40 AM

Join adult friend finder instead

10/7/2009 6:43:15 AM

If I wanted a boy version of myself, then I'd be better off staying home and double clicking my mouse. Less stress.

i thought this thread was going to be about Noen

10/7/2009 9:24:46 AM

One time

Never again

She looked like AC Green

10/7/2009 9:33:23 AM

Interesting story. I joined match.com and definitely came to the conclusion that it's loaded with flakes. Went on a few dates with some of them. Had a LOT of no-replies to emails sent.

But the craziest shit...I ended up going to a Christmas party one weekend at somebody's house and hooked up with this one girl I met there (turned out to be her house). Not that great looking, but when you're in a dry spell, who cares? Several weekends of booty calls later, thinks I, this chick looks familiar. Went back to Match and checked out some people I had emailed. Yep. She was one that had e-dissed me months before. And her profile pic was WAY hotter than she was. Go figure.

If you've got decent social skills and a good network of friends and acquaintances, then you don't need match.

10/7/2009 9:46:12 AM

BITCH DON'T CALL ME ANYMOOORRREE

10/7/2009 9:48:22 AM

^^ Agreed. If you can find a date IRL, don't bother with match.

Internet dating is, however, entertaining. I've dated some guys who could totally be my best friend. Great personalities. I'm just not attracted to them. For example, the last guy I dated from match was hilarious. He surfs and wakeboards--sometimes in costume. This weekend he went wakeskating in his old band costume and put some hilarious pics of it on facebook. He's got an amazing personality. But am I attracted to him? Nope.

I guess it depends on your standards. Perhaps mine are too high. But if you don't have crazy standards, then you'll probably be fine.

Was she as pure as AC?

if you're just looking for fun, go with okcupid. it's free, there's a ton of people on there, tho yes, the majority that are even worth looking at twice usually aren't worth any more than a few evenings of your time.

10/7/2009 9:56:57 AM

Good idea. Free is better. Match is too $$$ for what you get.

10/7/2009 9:57:56 AM

I'd be too scared of the difference in their profile pictures and what they look like in real life.

I know I've seen pictures of girls on facebook and I'll be like, "damn she's fine." Then see them in person and go, "wtf happened?" The camera is a liar.

I'm sorry. I can't allow this. I have veto rights.

10/7/2009 10:00:47 AM

i got a match in my pants for you















nah i don't date asians

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

10/7/2009 10:01:32 AM

^^^ I won't marry you. You told me you wear women's clothing. I bet you'll stretch out my tube tops. Hell to the no.

And I don't know if there's anything wrong with high standards. I just want to be with a guy who brings out the best qualities in me. Where I look forward to seeing them and I want to make them happy and I want to take better care of myself for them. It's hard to do that when you're not really that into the guy.

^^ And yes, you do get veto rights. Why didn't you veto Chris? Haha.
