Topic: Internet dating sites suck! | |
---|---|
Ok, in another thread we were discussing exactly why internet dating sites suck, and some common issues were realized.
First off, you will never meet anyone you like within 10000 miles. It is my firm belief that it is coded into the programming because if you did meet someone, you would stop coming here.... LexFonteyne had the idea that maybe they actually MOVE anyone that likes you past the 10000 mile limit so you cannot ever actually meet. Brilliant! Right now EVERY SINGLE woman that gets in touch with me, is in Houston. Im 7 hours away. $10 bucks says if I just happened to move to Houston, Austin would get in touch. CONSPIRACY!!!! If I get married they will no longer get money! Oh wait, mingle2 is free... Gotta rethink this. Furthermore, Anyone that is within 100 miles will be a complete mismatch. Heres some of my thoughts on whats not effective in a profile: Never actually write out the word "Ain't" in a profile. One pic of you standing with a hand on your hip and your body cocked to the side is ok. 5 of them tells me you have scoliosis. Try to hide the 4 run down cars in your yard before having a picture taken there. more than 4 cats in a picture with you is scary. If your 25+ do not include a Prom picture as your main. HAWT is not a word.. but hey thanks! Intelligence, honesty, openness and politeness win! Im 100% sure its the same for men. |

Well, seeing as how you provided such a nice springboard....
There is no such thing as "sence of humor." Your picture, if it is going to be of you, should be OF you, not you and thirty-six other people. unless you're ALL looking for dates. "I'm laid back and easy going" tells me nothing, other than that you're too lazy to do your own thinking and you've realized that this phrase appears in every profile on the planet. Better to say "I'm easily agitated and prone to violent outbursts involving flame-throwers and some sort of grenades." "Why are all men pigs?" is probably not going to ingratiate you to any non-porcine men, assuming they exist, which is apparently in question at the moment. If your first forum post is about "Why isn't anybody contacting me?" there's a good chance they never will. If the next 6392 posts are about the same thing, someone will notice, and refer to you as "repetitive." Or something along those lines. |

"One pic of you standing with a hand on your hip and your body cocked to the side is ok.
5 of them tells me you have scoliosis. " I laughed. Out loud. Oh dear. I'll have to get one of those, evenutally. Being a woman, I think it's needed. And I dunno, I've met quite a few groovy people in my area. |

LexFonteyne, my Sexy Lexy Lexicon, is HAWT and he knows I think so! You always get the special dispensation, though....! (Although I have never thought of myself as HAWT. More of a TEPPID, in keeping with the phraseology....) |

"I do not want drama so if you have any.... dont contact me"
Ummm there was only one person in history EVER that did not have drama. He died at birth. This statement tells me that the first time we talk im going to hear about your ex-husband/boyfriend for an hour. "40 year old woman seeks REAL companion for life long romance. Serious men only reply. Seeking man 23 to 29......" Ok yes, im going to take you seriously. |

LexFonteyne, my Sexy Lexy Lexicon, is HAWT and he knows I think so! You already know the answer to that! All of the good ones are 897,000 miles away, minimum. Bet you didn't know Indiana was 897,000 miles away from Ohio, though! (It's the New Math. Or maybe the New Geography.) |
