I wasn't asking for much in a guy so I thought I was golden. After all that time I spent filling out the profile I hit the submit button' they responded "that we have no matches for you" In the whole effing USA!!! This is SERIOUS. They even sent me a lil profile/personality report basically outlining what made me so undateable.Raquel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901679946676181304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-49414179583365456022012-01-15T18:00:45.225-07:002012-01-15T18:00:45.225-07:00I've done my share of online dating.

I actually met one of them and we're still (FB) friends to this day. She looked even better than her photos on the dating site, too. She lived in AL and I visited her and we went to a concert and had a pretty good time. Unfortunately, she was kind of dating a guy at the time, so she didn't make time for me. By the time they broke up and she wanted me, I was with who eventually became The Mrs.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-58924530359604441262012-01-14T10:22:43.143-07:002012-01-14T10:22:43.143-07:00I tried this in a desperate moment and learned som...I tried this in a desperate moment and learned some creepy things like men will request you send a photo holding something odd up so they can see that it's a recent pic. One guy, because on my profile I put I only wanted to get to know someone by email and that I wanted someone affectionate, angrily emailed me "How the fuck am I supposed to show you I'm affection if I can only do it in email." I replied. "You just did."Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-38493001858244500072012-01-14T10:15:02.595-07:002012-01-14T10:15:02.595-07:00Ahhhhh, online dating...such mixed emotions I have...Ahhhhh, online dating...such mixed emotions I have when I think about it. I think it's a good way to see what's in the dating pool that you might not otherwise encounter in person. I have met my fair share of trolls (cheater pants, scammers, ex-cons, and just plain liars), but I also met someone I dated who turned out to be one of my best (guy) friends (not so success in the dating department, but he is one fine human being). I've met some good guys who, for one reason or another turned out not to be a perfect match - but they were decent dudes that I am still friends with. I'm even dating someone right now who was quite persistent after almost a year of very friendly, civilized messaging (at first I wasn't feeling him, but the more I yakked with him - the more I saw what a great guy he is)- and was patient enough to wait me out before we met in person.<br /><br />Personally, I tend to downplay the pictures part - posting some less than flattering pictures (a la no make up and the like), so that if I DO meet someone in person, they say, "Oh! You're much cuter in person!" tee hee hee<br /><br />But, I agree - online dating can be cumbersome - you have to do your homework (which I say AFTER the fact, having been burned by some jackasses!) and be discerning - but you also have to make sure not to judge a book by its cover, or you could pass up a really outstanding person. I AM glad to say that I have no dating profiles on any sites right now. I'm hoping I won't need to go that route again.The Reckmonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846718419590267145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-16047130859926641532012-01-14T07:01:43.215-07:002012-01-14T07:01:43.215-07:00The stigma of online dating is definitely a thing ...The stigma of online dating is definitely a thing of the past, and it has to be better than drunkenly meeting someone at a bar...although, I met my spouse hammered at 2 in the morning. <br />Why do people bother putting up fake pictures?
