Online Dating

Big Sarge • Jun 15, 2009 10:33 pm
I'm trying to move on with my life and I think I will try one of the online sites. I'm looking for someone to flirt with and see where it goes. Online will be the easiest for me since I will be gone for almost a year. Plus, I am rather sensitive about my appearance. That being said, does anyone know of a good site to post an ad?

There's okcupid.com and plentyoffish.com. Both are completely free, though I prefer okcupid.com more. I think most pay sites are a waste of time and money.

adultfriendfinder.com

You'll love it. ;)

What, Sundae Girl ain't enough for ya?
Sundae • Jun 16, 2009 5:33 am
We're penpals :p

Sarge, I've not had any luck with online dating.
Well, the online part has been fun, but the dating part has never worked out.
In the end I found it easier to meet sooner rather than later, to avoid building up intimacy online that was misplaced when we met and the spark just wasn't there.

If you just want correspondance, a few dates and something to keep your mind off your current situation, go at it. But if you are hoping to find a relationship that works I'd just caution you that you'll need a healthy dollop of luck.

That said, I know it's worked for some people.
I just can't recommend any sites because I'm not one of them!

What Ali said...like any site though, you have to weed through the fakes to find the ones that are worth chatting too.

What SG said - I did this for a while and it was fun, but definitely best to meet sooner rather than later or unrealistic expectations begin to build up on both sides.
And what's that about your looks? Here, you like fine and dandy to me!
Good luck in your endeavours!
Chocolatl • Jun 16, 2009 8:35 am
I'd also recommend Okcupid.om. Found my husband there! Good luck, Sarge.
Big Sarge • Jun 16, 2009 9:31 am
I'm madly in love with SG, but she has spurned my advances. Alas, I am forced to search for someone else.

As far as the dating goes, It will be kind of hard to do while I am in Iraq. LOL. There are female troops, but very few in my grade range.
Sundae • Jun 16, 2009 9:43 am
I haven't spurned you Sarge!
Not yet anyway.

Online dating. Well. I happen to want to punch every motherfucker on E-Harmony commericals right in their smug, superior noses. Actually, I want to mow them down with a semi-automatic.

that's how I feel about them. E-Harmony "them" anyway.
SteveDallas • Jun 16, 2009 1:41 pm
So which commercials have people you want to nail in them?

That should be its own thread.

Whhhhale...not the people in that Sea Bond commercial, that's for sure.

maybe the people in the Applebee's ads....they look like they're having a fucking GREAT time; if I could pick, though, and go thru time and space, it would have to be with the hippies in the original "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke," commerical.

But only because I believe most of them would be holding.
Aliantha • Jun 16, 2009 5:57 pm
I met my husband through adultfriendfinder.com

I admit it is probably unusual for that to occur on that particular site, but stranger things have happened I'm sure.
SteveDallas • Jun 16, 2009 6:50 pm
On adultfriendfinder? I guarantee stranger things have happened. :3eye:
Big Sarge • Jun 17, 2009 11:34 am
I signed up on okcupid. I looked at adultfriendfinder and I don't think it has what I'm really looking for

ok cupid! - gotcha. I read that as "okc" as in a bad rendition of Doc Oc or Octomom or ....whatever else comes in eights.

and what? adultfriendfinder didn't have..? Pron stars? ;)

Here's another good reason to avoid adultfriendfinder:


From PrinceDickia Dickordia:

Quoting Roger/Tggr in their 'Let's Fuck with These People' thread:


RAH!

Trolling cybersex is hilarious.

The best ones are the text only fuckers at adultfriendfinder.com



Nice. Really nice.
classicman • Jun 17, 2009 1:39 pm
Yeh - Like get a fuckin real life nice. Some people have so little regard for others that they attack and ridicule others for fun. Congrats to the virus known as PD. Smile everyone - you've been infected.
Big Sarge • Jun 17, 2009 7:24 pm
I chose okcupid because I am looking for a friendship that might develop into something else. I'm not looking for a booty call
DanaC • Jun 17, 2009 7:25 pm
Yeah...but if a booty calls ye? :P
Big Sarge • Jun 25, 2009 1:00 pm
I'm not getting many responses. Maybe I should change my profile? What if I say I am a "work in progress" and I'm saving for penis reduction surgery when I get back to the States? Think that might spark some interest?
Aliantha • Jun 25, 2009 5:39 pm
In my experience, the men usually have to contact the women. It doesn't seem to happen the other way around much. Surprisingly, it's a lot like real life in that way.
classicman • Jun 25, 2009 5:47 pm
yeh - you need to spend hours looking thru images and reading their stories and and and... kinda like, well kinda like real life.

Did you put up a picsher? I think you look fine and many women will not respond to a post without a pic. Just sayin' is all ...
DanaC • Jun 25, 2009 6:42 pm
What Limey said. Picture builds trust. Unless you look like a 25 year old male model in which case picture builds mistrust.

You're a handsome man Sarge. get your photo on there.
Clodfobble • Jun 25, 2009 11:34 pm
Probably not the picture with the tinfoil hat though. ;)
ZenGum • Jun 26, 2009 2:00 am
Go with the :tinfoil:

Sense of humour is usually a plus.
Big Sarge • Jun 26, 2009 8:46 am
I was joking ya'll. I'm chatting with 3 different women who are interested in me. They are 27, 47, and 50 yoa. I think what "reeled them in" was the pictures I posted of me playing with my daughter.
Big Sarge • Jun 27, 2009 1:00 am
Would it be inappropriate if I posted some info here on these women and let ya'll help me choose? Evidently I don't make the best choices. LOL

Also, I still haven't found what I'm really looking for - an 18 yoa virgin stripper who enjoys church activities. Oh, she also needs to be a Republican
Aliantha • Jun 27, 2009 1:05 am
Can't you go out on a date with each of them? Even just a meet and greet coffee date is a good start. Make it a bit before a meal time, and then if it's going well, you can suggest a meal, or say you've got plans and have to go if it's not good.

I really think you should choose who you go out with Sarge. It's not really up to us to choose for you, and also, if you did end up in a relationship with one of these ladies, they might find out about all of us one day and then feel a bit funny about having had her details shared around...if that makes any sense. I hope so. I know what I mean. lol

If she claims to be a virgin, run like hell!
What you need is a retired hooker. One that's been there, done that, and ready to settle down.
limey • Jun 27, 2009 4:28 am
Ali's right. No-one will be expecting you to be "exclusive" from the very first date (and if they are, run RUN for the hills!). Go out with each of them and work it out for yourself. Have fun. :)
Big Sarge • Jun 27, 2009 9:00 am
Go out with them? Remember I'm in the middle of the frikin desert till next year. LOL I have to do everything cyber for now
Stormieweather • Jun 28, 2009 10:40 am
Good long time to get to know them ;).

Seriously, as one who met her partner of 7 years on the internet, take it slow and truly get to know each other. It can't hurt and can only help.
Big Sarge • Jul 5, 2009 12:21 am
I have realized the women on okcupid pale in comparison to the women here.
disenchanted • Jul 5, 2009 4:31 am
Well, I should say as a big disclaimer that I met the woman that led to the "24-hour engagement" thread on okcupid.

It was kind of new to me, but she once explained to me that there's some set of rules where you go out on a "pre-date", something like meeting for coffee and probably only lasts a half-hour or so, and you inform anyone that you've ever met that you'll be there at that time and have some set of code words to call your friends and let them know you're still safe and....

huh. maybe this all belongs back in that other thread.

Good luck, Sarge. All I can say at this point is that there's no reason to believe they're a better crowd than meeting someone in a bar.
ThatGuy • Jul 16, 2009 11:35 am
I met my ex-wife on yahoo personals that was a first i had never done the online deal. But most of the people on there turned out to be what they looked like but not what they said they were. She turned out to be a different person after we got married i think she was just looking for someone to marry specially since i was acitve military at the time she just loved the benifits and all that. But i would suggest doing it all in person but i guess since your out in the desert thats tough.
