Hi, I’m nephorm… have we met?

That was funny.
You have to post a picture on here at some point.
I don’t really hang out on there much anymore, but okcupid.com is WAY better than any other matchmaking site. It’s 100% free (they get paid by hosting ads), the interface is nice, and there are plenty of cute girls on there. The have a nice matching system, it’s kinda fun to waste time there, and I’ve met a couple people from there. One of them is now one of my best friends.
I tried it with Yahoo & met a chick. Kinda sucks though, you talk for awhile & then when you finally meet it’s like too much. We were both lost for words & we both felt weird about it. We got over it & have gone out several times.
Was so close to having sex with her but she didn’t want to yet. She said it was too soon. So she teased the living hell out of me & gave me some major blue balls.
So, I wanna try that adult online stuff & meet girls that just want to hook up. :-))
I met my fiance on yahoo.com For several years before meeting him, I only dated guys I met online. I guess I just got lucky.
I was in a smaller town in Wisconsin for most of those years and still managed to meet and date several nice guys.

A lot of freaking time, that’s what you have to lose.
Many of these women want to talk to you online quite a bit before they’ll even meet you in a public place.[/quote]
This is very true, and they can sometimes be dumb as a stump, or have the personality of one. Just about anyone can be witty and funny online, but in person, you don’t have that luxury. Not to mention the horror stories I have heard of:“Those pictures I sent you were a few years old, I have since gained 50lbs.” EJECT EJECT!!

True. Or they can be excruciatingly hot, but not want to sleep with you. That’s even worse.

Dude, chicks love that dry sarcasm, you put that to work you could get some serious ass.
But yeah, that sucks when hotties don’t want your dick, or worse yet, know that you want them to want your dick, and just tease you…that REALLY sucks.
I’m with graphicsman. Okcupid is a good site as far as that goes.
Chicken over chocolate…how eloquently put!

Or how about when they want it, know you want it, but don’t want you to know they know you want it or want it themselves so end up teasing anyway just for something to do.
Well,
i just closed out my eHarmony account which expired. Their compatability program sucks donkeyballs. They were continually “connecting” me with a bunch of fat pigs from Louisianna, flakes from California, and lonely women in Alaska.
Yeah, there were some some women from other states, but I guess ARKANSAS is way too far away from TEXAS and TENNESEE!- as they stated, as they closed connection with me.
Seriously, eHarmony is a waste of time and money. It would have been much easier to pay a group of women $100 to rip my heart out of my chest, and beat me with bats. -Starkdog

I’m sure there’s some T-Vixens here that would do it for much less than that. And they could probably do a much better job too.

I met up with this one girl from the net a few yrs. back & she looked nothing like her pic. NOTE or shall I say RULE Always get SEVERAL pics. And make sure they’re recent!!
Anyways, her pic was one of those glamor shot thinghys & she looked great! She looked like such a nerd, nothing like her pic. when I met her!! Went to a movie ( mistake, no convo! ) Was thinking about bailing on her saying I had to use the restroom, but I was a gentlemen & stayed. Funny thing though!! My friend met her online & went out with her like 6 months later! Hahahahahha!

Hahaha. Nice.
Actually my problem with online dating is that I get contacted by a lot of gay men. Weird eh?

Why won’t you e-mail me back? 
Haha, no. Online dating is nice for some, but for me, it’s better for making friends from a distance than for actually going out. I’m the kind of guy who likes to reach out and touch new women. Literally.

I’ve been there … I flew to Canada some time back to meet a girl and spend time with her. It was cool, but kind of fell apart.
Hmmm… most of the women I have met through online dating are looking online for a reason, either emotional or physical.
With that said, I have had a couple very successful hookups if sexual hookup is the goal (and it was). But more disappointments than successes. On the other hand, meeting women in real life has made me some good friends, but frequently they’re either not physically or emotionally compatible as anything other than friends.
So the score falls something like this…
My first true love I met in person in college. No computers involved.
My eleven-year ex was also an in-person meet.
My first really hot, amazing, worthwhile casual hookup after that relationship was a mix. We actually met in person, but were connected by mutual friends via email first. Things didn’t take off until after the in-person meet.
I had a very successful medium-term casual hookup via computer earlier this year.
And my current girlfriend… another mix. We started chatting on this internet forum about bodybuilding and junk, then started exchanging email. But it wasn’t until we got together that things really took off.
I don’t consider that really a computer relationship because we essentially met “at the gym”, except the gym just happened to be online. It wasn’t like either of us was looking for it, unlike the context of a computer dating service.
