Apparently so, that was going to be my next question... has anyone ever actually met someone on here?

Pop up ads that don't pop up but mysteriously appear after you've closed all your browser windows... Why can't these programmers use their powers for good!

LOL, fair enough... It's just good to see that there are people from the area, I was starting to wonder if anyone here was even from this coast much less this state :)

good to meet you all...

Ohio, why Ohio?

I've been told that getting involved in the forums is the place to be on here, so here I am :) I've recently joined this site and have no idea how long it's been around or what kind of following it has, but I'm hoping to find out.

If you're from MA and you're online tonight (Wed.) just chime in, it would be nice to hear from some people in the area.

Bring some funny to the table. People love to laugh. Make your profile something more than a one paragraph "blah blah blah, this is me, blah blah blah". I'm not ripping on you, I've just found that when the format remains the same, people find it to be stale pretty quickly.

Life's too short to make it a spectator sport. Jump in and be different!

I see posts from women asking "Where are all the good guys?" and I have to wonder, where are all the good girls? By definition, a 'good girl' is someone:

>> Who doesn't require you to make six-figure income in order to "qualify" to date them.
>> Who doesn't require a 'good guy' to look like a hollywood movie star. Certainly everyone has standards on how their potential date should look, but there's a line.
>> That at the end of the day can appreciate that there are lots of men out there that aren't cheaters, looking just for sex or are going to sit around drinking beer all night looking to be waited on constantly.

Me, I'm just an average guy. I don't look like brad pitt, nor am I his age. I make decent money, I own my own home, but don't feel that my dating criteria should be based on that. I'm not desperate, and I'm not needy. I enjoy taking someone out on a simple date to somewhere that we can both enjoy, and yes, if she likes something I don't I'll even bite the bullet and try it, and might even find that I like it after all.

I think in this age of online friend-finding and dating, a lot has been lost in the translation. These days if someone can't come up with the perfect paragraph to describe themselves that suits the vast majority of the opposite sex they are immediately destined for the Internet dumpster, never to find a date again.

I think that people need to start looking past the first paragraph and the first digital photo and take a chance to really get to know someone before opening the dumpster lid.

To coin a phrase "there are plenty of other fish in the barrel". The biggest problem these days is everyone just looks into the water at what's on the surface and never dares to put their hands in and fish around.

Maybe you're just looking at the wrong guys. The term "attractive" is subjective also. I'm a nice guy, but perhaps you don't find me attractive. Maybe all the guys that meet your expectations for looks are all self-centered because of their looks.

Maybe it's just late and I'm bored and looking for someone to chat with. Maybe.
