Does “NSA sex” mean National Security Agency sex? 'Cause I already thought they were fucking me.
LOL.
For any of you guys who are thinking about dating foreign women, I would say that the various Asian sites have far more to offer than the Russian ones do. You’ll probably have to deal with less perfect English, but hey. Here’s your opportunity to learn a new language.
I wanted to buy an Italian bride, but that damned euro has completely screwed over an chance of that.
what did i tell you. i just got 2 spam emails once from AFF and the other from match. same picture and headline “the smell of iron”. well in one profile she lives in S.F in the other pittsburg.lmao
i’m telling you they are fukin scams. congrats to those that found real people, but no way i’d ever waste $$$ on one of these sites.
jeff was it timyyyyyyy?lol
My brother met his wife on match.com.
I met mine on the bus commuting to NYC.
MDOG: thanks for the myspace tip, I had never heard of it.
COngrats to everyone who has a success story
TO everybody else, thanks! Y’all came thru big-time. I have it narrowed down to match and yahoo. Yahoo has a lot of ladies in my 'hood, and match I’m still trying to figure out how many subscribers exactly do they have in my area.
I may sign up for 1 month of each and take it from there while using the free ones as well.

nobody wants to date a woman who refuses to apy rent and runs out on her roommate while the roommate’s out of town for work
I’m thinking about cancelling match.com. I;ve emailed so many people there, and have even included my real email address, yet have only ever gotten a response form one person (I di go out with her.) I hear form smany people that they meet lots of people on match, but it doesn’t seem to be working for me.
The girl from eharmony didn’t work out. Hopefully, the will find another match for me.
sonny s,
If you go online for love, please use your spell-check for every line that you write. If a women reads your messages and they include: “pls,” “getin,” and “THrow” you will stand no chance. Work on content, then worry about price.
Yes, without perfect grammar you’ll never nail that sexy, anal retentive librarian.
Would you believe I work at a job that relies on me typing accurately?
In the same boat bro, except I got no responce from about a dozen or so girls. I got three “winks” a fatty, an ugly and a dude.
Some dude winked you?
LOL
I really think I’m going to cancel my subsription to match and eharmony.
On match, I have had ONE person reply to all the emails I sent. I’ve had people (women) look over my profile and pictures, and they said everything looked good. I have met 2 people through the IM feature, but neither worked out.
On eharmony, I don’t get that many matches. Most of the matches I’e had, the pther person has terminted communications. I have 2 people that have simply not replied one way of the other.
It really drives me nuts, because EVERYBODY I know that has tried online dating has had great success with it. But, for me, it seems to be a waste of money.
Jeff: try myspace.com. I tried it out and got a couple nibbles. The Maryland area is well represented. Just don’t take my hotties.
Both my boss and her daughter used match.com and are now in serious relationships with the men they met. The daughter is actually getting married to her beau. I also know one of my friends, a really nice girl, who lives in NYC and she just joined match.com and is having good luck with it as well. Best of luck to you.
Since we’re on the topic of online dating, I’d like some input from you guys and gals:
I have used lavalife before and have received a mixed response with my profile. The women have either loved it or hated it. I am confident that the profile was well written. I also had a picture posted with it. I am definitely in good shape (check out the thread “EdogeOfNirvana Pics” in the photos section), so I decided to include a shirtless picture with my profile. I was not doing any crazy bodybuilding type pose in my picture. I was doing more of a relaxed model type of pose…
Anyways, what I wanted to know is if putting up a shirtless pic (even if you have a good physique) is showing too much. I’m wondering if it would convey a message of conceit and narcissism…
EoN
Edge: I was on lavalife for a long time with moderate success. I had a great profile and a picture of me in a nice casual shirt which I thought looked good. A female friend of mine suggested I put up a pic of me in a sleeveless shirt sitting on my motorcycle that I had stored in my computer files. The pic is actually in the photo archives here somewhere. I was resistant to the idea telling her I did’nt want to come across as a ‘meathead’. People here don’t think too badly of a pic of someone in a sleeveless shirt, but I felt it would be a different story for the average person. I finally gave in a agreed to put it up for a week and see what happened. All I can say is, to my huge surprise, I recieved more attention than I could have ever imagined and ended up hiding my profile so only those I initiated contact with would see it. I’ve met a fantastic woman, who I never would have met otherwise, through lavalife and no longer use the service.
It does’nt hurt that the overwhealming majority of men on lavalife are complete tools. I did’nt realize this until my girlfriend took me on a tour through the men’s profiles.
Amen Magnus. Most guys have the wussiest, most generic profiles. As do the owomen as well, but they’re the ones being chased, right?
Its always :
“I love to travel” -NO SHIT! Who doesn’t like to travel??
“I love to eat out” -NO SHIT! Who doesn’t like to have someone do all the work for them and eat great tasting food??
“I love to take long walks on the beach” - No, what you really love is when I jackhammer you all night long and your head slams against the wall with every thrust!
Anyway…,
a great looking guy may get 1,2 hits a day, an average looking gal will get 5, 10 or even more every single day - in a large metro area anyway. Most hotties have to take their picture off because they get too many responses.
The bad-ass look was a great idea too! I like your friend 
Suggestion for Jeff:
Don’t know if this is applicable, but my thinking is that you might be being a little too aggressive too fast in terms of pushing to meet the women. Ladies whom I’ve talked to who use these services generally find that to be sketchy. A lot of women think the internet is a little bit sketchy to begin with, and may or may not have already had a bad experience meeting someone. Thus, even if they like you initially, if you’re pushing too hard, their thought tends to be, “What’s wrong with this guy – why is he pushing to go so fast. Is he afraid I will find something out, or not confident for some reason?”
Good luck.
Sonny: so true on the generic nature of most profiles. I wish I had a dollar for everyone that starts off with “I love life and all it has to offer”. Again, no shit…I love life too. Maybe it has something to do with my addiction to oxygen, but it sure beats the alternative.
BB: Very good point on not pushing to meet too early. I found it best to leave it up to the woman to make the suggestion on that. Usually they like to chat on msn messenger a bit, than perhaps a phone chat, and than coffee, if things are progressing that way.
Online dating can be a lot of fun if you go into it with no expectations and simply have fun meeting some new people.
