It depends on the differences. I've learned that guys who are radically different from me don't work out, so I avoid them.

Rick1980: So, if men are based solely on "looks", does that mean some women should quit dating for life, according to what you believe? I think that's crap, personally, and indicates major shallowness, big time. Of course not, because beauty is relative. What looks good to me may not look good to you and vice versa. Everyone is the same way. There is no one set type of beauty- American society tries to emphasize one over the others, but everyone still has their preferences. God knows I do! |

There is no one way to get a woman to like you. The best thing you can do is be honest and a decent human being, either a woman will like you or she won't. Good luck.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for on here. I'm not trying to date anyone, so it's working out fine for me, but if it's not working for you, sorry and good luck. :)

I met my last serious lover online, however not on a "dating" site (we met through our mutual websites) and I felt really weird about telling folks just exactly how we met. Whether we like it or not, meeting someone online IS different. There are different dynamics and a certain unrealistic expectation in such relationships. Had my last serious lover and I been able to overcome the physical distance between us and continued in the direction we were going---long-term and so-very-serious---I would have insisted on crafting an alternative "how we met" story. *************** Online "dating" is also notorious for not working out. It's gotten a bad rap (justifiably so). It's never worked for me. However, I have crappy taste in men- yep, I admit it- so the blame doesn't fall entirely on the internet. It would be the same in real life too. :) |

Yeah it's creepy, and I've learned not to trust a younger guy who "likes older women"

What bothers me about this is, people assume that two people of the opposite sex will always be attracted to each other just because they are of the opposite sex, and I think that is stupid. I have had male friends that I found attractive, and I'm sure some of them found me attractive, but most of the time, it's not mutual. So if two people of the opposite sex find each other mutually attractive, then yeah, I can see a problem, maybe, but otherwise no. I used to be friends with a guy who didn't find black women attractive- he was white- so obviously we were always just friends, even if I had found him attractive (which I didn't) nothing more would ever have come of it.

I'd understand if a guy didn't have as much time to be my friend when he had a gf, but if he totally stopped talking to me all together, that's just crappy. Everything in moderation.

my thoughts are this too...i could meet a man at a bar or the store, i still dont know him from adam at that point either, so does it matter where you meet him? everyone is a stranger at first. Exactly. I think the main problem is, people hear about pedophiles and serial rapists who target their prey online, so it becomes stigmatized. Also, most people who don't trust the internet don't use it so they don't know what it's like. |

If you really care what they think, lie. Tell them you met the guy somewhere in real life, like a bookstore or something. Just make sure you tell him to agree, otherwise it might get weird.

My married friend was like that for awhile...then he and his wife sat down and talked and discovered that it was miserable and stupid to not see their friends. I think you have to give them slack....many people think that men and women can't be friends....When Harry Met Sally kind of thing. Patience I guess....I hated his wife at first for taking him away I'm still trying to prove that wrong- that men and women can't be friends- but for some reason, it doesn't work. Even when I'm talking to men who have no business being interested in me at all, for any reason, sex comes up. It sucks. |

I prefer meeting people online to real life because this medium gives you more control. If a guy acts retarded online, I have the block button and all that, in real life you might have to file a restraining order. Plus you can't catch anything through a screen. :)

Depends on how much you value him as a friend. As the old saying goes, if that had never happened, would you still want to be his friend? If the answer is yes, then yeah stay friends with him. To prevent yourself from getting hurt in the future, what you could do is keep him at a distance from now on, don't take his calls so often, and don't be as available to him. That way, when he does it again- which he more than likely will- you might not feel so bad because you won't have been as invested in the friendship as before.

I've never cared what my family and friends thought about who I was dating- or how I met them- but I guess if you do, just tell them you're being careful to meet them in a public place- if you meet them at all. To me, meeting a jerk online is the same as meeting a jerk at work/school or whatever, but many people don't see it that way. It amuses me when people say only weirdos and serial killers are online, when the majority of the people assaulted by those people met them in real life, not on here.
