Suck my balls online dating. Suck. My. Balls.
Here's the process I feel that most people (including myself) go through.
Step 1: You're single
Step 2: Find yourself dateless for a long time
Step 3: Give up on meeting anyone decent in real life
Step 4: Wait a few more months
Step 5: Reluctantly try setting up an online dating profile
Let me take a moment to speak directly to my fellow single homies:
If you think you're a failure for not making it in the real life dating scene? Wait until you fail at the online dating scene.
All the excuses you give yourself in real life to make you feel better are thrown out the window entirely. E.g. "Oh, she probably has a boyfriend" or "She probably didn't a good look at me because the bar was too dark" or "She didn't want to leave her group of friends and ruin girl's night".
I'm too ashamed to even announce on my own anonymous dating blog how many emails I sent out to girls (okay okay, less than 15, more than 5) only to get absolutely NOTHING back.
The worst part is, online dating let's you know every step of their move; no room for doubt. They actually TELL you when they read your email.
It soon becomes an obsession: whydidn'ttheywriteback?whydidn'ttheywriteback?whydidn'ttheywriteback?whydidn'ttheywriteback?whydidn'ttheywriteback?
They clearly read my carefully thought out email! How picky are these girls?? It's not like I am sending out a million emails saying "lemme see dem titties." I thought my emails weren't half bad!
I never thought I was an unattractive guy (except for that was that one time). But online dating has made me question everything about me. I'd even go so far as to say it's a much more brutal process; in which you are given a once over and then quickly tossed aside. Your looks are everything, right? You can't help but think that these broads are doing a quick glance at your profile and thinking, "OMG. Pass!"
I'm a fucking figment of J.R.R Tolkien's imagination. These girls are shrieking like cheerleaders and tossing the nearest vial of Holy Water on the computer screen.
And if that's not bad enough, the ONLY person who has "IM'd" (unprovoked, mind you) me is a 19 year old girl who has the most cliche'd alone-in a bathroom mirror with my cellphone-gritty-MySpace pics ever.
19 Year Old: hAi sWeEtIe hOw aRe yOu?"
So@24: Oh hey. Great, how about you?"
19 Year Old: GOOD
Long Pause
So@24: I should take off, I'm actually heading out to a friend's place.
19 Year Old: O! Kewl!!! tAlK tO yOu sOoN kay???
sigh.

Even without being able to see your eyes (THE most telling feature), I can tell that you are a cutie :)
Don't give up! Maybe you should try the "lemme see dem titties" line - some girls dig that stuff.
Okay? Kewl*
*oh gag, I can't believe I actually wrote that.
If someone was sucking your balls, you wouldn't need online dating.
Here's the thing about online dating, right? (Look at me all single and yet acting like an expert).
It's a longer process than meeting someone in a bar. You have to stick with it.
Or just give up and finally marry me already. I'm cool with that.
pshaw to 19 year old girls, pshaw i say. okay kewl? ew.
That post pretty much sums up online dating. Personally, I am not a fan of it at all.
Do you like sports? If you do, you should find a co-ed sport team that you could join and maybe meet some girls that way?
I hate to say it.. In fact I debated with myself a lot before I started typing...
It may be the height. Have you been "targeting" girls around 5' or shorter?
Online dating IS really brutal because you can just toss anyone aside that doesn't give you the 5 second impression that you're looking for. Sadly, very few people take the time to consider what's past a profile. Which is wholly unlike real dating. You actually end up trying to talk someone up before you realize they are a complete tool.
1) that IM conversation was amazing. you should hit that.
2) some girls just have dating profiles to goof around and aren't that serious about going on dates. keep on truckin'.
so they are broke-ass bitches waiting for a man who paid extra money to let nonpaid members respond back to them...they wanna suga-daddy.
and seriously. dude. your hot. why are you online looking for chics?
Sunday.
Come over.
We'll drink. And I'll get you a date in no time. After all, I am a chick, I know what we want to hear.
Online dating bodes poorly for anyone that I know. I've even gone through the five steps myself.
These girls you're writing to don't know what they're missing. Probably because there's no good way to explain your real life person over the internet.
And to reiterate maxie: keep on truckin'. Maybe the response ratio is like, one out of ten.
You are a prime example why it's TOTALLY different for girls than it is for guys to date online.
But don't think you're ugly. I don't think you are and I am guessing you're actually fairly cute. :)
I, however, don't think you should talk to the 19y/o anymore. I used to TyPE LyKe DiS when I was in high school. And it's not Kewl at all. LOL
aw SO, i feel you. my luck with the online dating...or lack or luck actually...was similar...
just be your charming witty self and you'll get yourself a date that doesn't use the word "kewl" and take pictures of herself using a camera and a cell phone. you've managed to captivate an audience full of women on this thing --- the online dating thing will be a piece of cake ;P
Love your blog. If you were in Chicago I could get you plenty of girls.
Awh. Well I've always been a skeptic of online dating myself. But at least you are giving it a try - and keep trying, it hasn't been long enough to throw in the towel.
Laying it on the line starting nooow:
It's harder. It is fucking harder than real life dating and many many times it does not lead to a damn thing but two awkward dinners because you felt bad giving up on the first one. If you even find someone to go OUT with and even then you wish you could institute the Lemon Law of Dating. 5 minutes or less.
And here it is, from the girl's mouth. When I was on Match, I did WANT to date. I just only wanted to date 1 guy that I had made in my head by magic. (Maybe I "made up" the one I'm dating now only he had a day job and lived here)Anyhow, what I mean here is that we are so removed from other people on these dating sites that it's easy to just keep ticking them off the list or not respond because not only have I never found them totally charming while drunk before but I don't know how good they smell and I don't know that they refused to hook up with the skank who just cut me off in the beer line when she offered it up once. Real life things.
And let me tell you that I did not have one single date that was a picnic. And I was PICKY PICKY PICKY with who I went out with. Because it's awkward. And I have a massive amount of respect for the people who meet others that way because there's a large amount of ego sacrifice, patience and RISK that goes into it. None of which are really my fortes.
SO@24: Why the fuck did you tell me to do this then?!
Excellent question. Because I wanted you to try something new. And because I dated two people I met in normal ways between my online dating stints. It's practice. And then there was that one time that I thought I saw "my person" on Match and I wrote him a clever little email and he turned out to be a good friend of the guy I'm now dating and wanted the whole damn time. "Hint, Hint" said the Universe.
The other commenters are going to kill me for not just sending you an email but you cannot for a goddamn second think that this is on you. Not playing doctor with a few real life girls, even if it was just for skin on skin kindness? THAT is on you. THIS is practice with a lot of other people who have been hurt and disenchanted into thinking if it's not perfect, it's not out there. But it is. Now it's almost time to step away from the computer...
Love,
Cooky
Don't let the online dating thing get you down. You look like you're a cutie (even if we can't see your eyes!).
This may or may not make you feel better, but it's super hard for girls too. I was single 5 years (ohmygodcantbelievejustsaidthat) before I met my current boyfriend. He too was single for five years before meeting me. I swear, I shit you not.
Don't lose hope!
I think online dating just takes time. You can't give up, it is to soon to throw in the towel.
Since you have many females reading your blog, what better opportunity to get our insight on what girls want from guys.
Seriously 24, can I guest post? Because I have some serious opinions on this that should be shared with the world. E-mail me, my dear sweet 24.
Seriously?
When I read "lemme seem dem titties" it took all my power to not send you a pic of mine....
DUDE! She sounds like a keeper. Don't let a gem like that just up and walk away!
uh,,,right.
and ya, you're cute. Probably not a compliment coming from a Puma like me, but ya know, Gramma's have needs too! ;P
But seriously. You're cuter than this online-dating nonsense.
i wanted to write something reassuring and/or clever. but TKTC just stole the commenting gold. so i'll stop. keep your chin up ;)
Awww man that is sad. I put up a profile for a couple of weeks, but I made sure no matter how much of a loser the guy was I would always respond, and it was the ones I wouldnt have normally gone for that were the most interesting, maybe its an australian thing but I was bought up with manners!
Its in your best interest that these girls dont respond, they probably arent worth the email space you used to write to them.
Maybe your looking for the wrong type of girl?
I'm sorry it's been kind of rough going so far, but you did just start. Be patient with it...
patience, time, a different approach..these completely encompass the new, exciting and sometimes scary world of online dating. Hang in there...It takes time to adjust (from one singleton to another..)
you have to be patient, grasshopper. and nothing pisses me off more than people who cannot spell online, or who TyPe lYk dIs..
so so so so annoying.
have a good weekend, darlin.
To be fair, you did just start. I'd give it some time. And don't overthink the emails too much! Short and sweet, that's the way to go.
"shrieking like cheerleaders and tossing the nearest vial of Holy Water on the computer screen"
hahaha! how can women not flock to you when you say great things like that? serious.
clearly, you're online gaggle of fans on the blog indicate you are not a failure at life. whatever the online dating snobs may or may not say =)
10 bucks says you could snag a date from one of the gadzillions of gals commenting on here daily.
hmm...THERE's an idea!!! hahaha.
Wait until you fail at online dating AND your Wii Fit won't stop yelling at you. That's when you know you've hit bottom.
I respond to probably about 10-20% of the messages I receive on OkCupid. It would be a lot of work to respond to all of them and I honestly think it's a waste of my time AND the dude's-- if I know without a doubt that I'm not interested and I have no prior relationship/obligation to this dude, I don't see the point in responding. Most of the time, it isn't even really a conscious decision-- I just get busy and forget and the email gets buried.
That said, of the dudes I ignore? 90% are total creepers, but the other 10% are perfectly nice-seeming, attractive guys, but something in their profile is a deal-breaker for me. It isn't necessarily something that's INTRINSICALLY bad, it's just bad for me.
That is probably what's happening here and you shouldn't sweat it. You are obvi hot, hilarious, and brill times a mil. Own it & the ladies will eventually flock. Good luck and keep on truckin'.
Online dating sucks. Seriously. You read my blog. You've seen what I have to say...I'm just glad to see that it's not just me. :)
Online dating - not a fan. However, it does take patience so, like the others said, just keep with it.
Don't worry - we're still here for ya (and we won't email/type/whatever like that 19 year old chick. What the heck - did they stop teaching grammer in school?)
Fucking GOLD!
It’s brutal out there mate.
Online dating blooooows. Just made me feel more lame than I already am in the dating scene. Plus, even now after I've cancelled my eH account, I get notices saying "so and so is a good match." I'm like "hello, i am done. DONE. I am not paying you $29.99 per month anymore so I can figure out that yes, I'm still lame and undatable. Leave me ALONE."
I had a profile on OkCupid cuz I like to take quizzes but I deleted it because I always got well-intentioned messages and felt like an asshole for ignoring them.
So MAYBE the girls you're messaging are just not serious about online dating. I'll be that a really high percentage of people on those sites are on more just out of curiosity than any intention of doing it.
And you're SOOOOOOO not ugly. Don't let an online dating site tell you otherwise.
Is that how 19 year olds type now??? I should pull out a rocking chair and start kniting socks for my grandchildren because that makes me feel old.
We all know you're great. Don't let this online dating craziness make you feel bad. You're amazing!
several hours later and after the vodka tonics have more than worn off and taken me to a sleepy clarity...
you know what? I don't think online dating will ever be for you. Screw the BS that comes with it. From what I've read, you love the hidden and subconscious beauty. Even if you got a response for every email you sent, you wouldn't be satisfied. None of them would give you the surprises that I feel would keep you not only constantly interested but satisfied as well. You want a 7-dimensional woman. And maybe they are online, but it's impossible to find them there. Unfortunately, you'll have to suffer through difficult dating in the 3-d world to be happy.
that is the decree of the self-importantized me.
:-)
good luck. I can't wait to hear of your travels when it's time.
My best friend found true love and happiness on a dating site.
My opinion is that your changes are so slim, it almost even worth it!
And if it is making you feel ugly and unwanted - definitely no point! It is a cruel world as it is, no point in making it more difficult!
I must agree to Unmuse...
Meeting girls online sucks (like I'd know, I'm a girl. But the person sounded reasonable,he).
I tried online dating a couple of months ago. And it was a real pain!
I registered at the site because I was ready. I mean READY! :) But it just killed all the willingness to meet anyone.
I was receiving on average 20 messages a day from different guys (and I didn't have a half naked picture out there and I'm not a dropdeadgorgeous woman or something. I like to think I'm just an approachable 25yo :) he!).
And to be honest, there were days when I just couldn't be bothered to check ALL the profiles. I never even looked at the ones who winked. And I never went browsing to see who's out there... Come on, I can't spend the whole day checking out men online. I have a life!
I read all the messages, and replied to the most down to earth, most human.
Not the ones like: hey cutie, what's up? Or: Wow! You're sexy! I could jump on you right now. And not to mention the guys with a clear goal to get a girl and marry her just for the sake of getting a permit to stay in the country (pf!).
I replied to the guys who mentioned something about my profile (it means they'd actually read it) and with a simple, witty message with a question I could reply to.
I'm dating now. A guy I met from that site. But he "feels" completely different than when we exchanged messages. He feels better. And although he's much shorter than I though he would be, I really like him and I think it might work out.
I suggest this: if you start chatting with a girl there, invite her for coffee pretty soon, like a week later. The person might seem great online, but end up smelling wrong ;) haha. I mean, it's all about chemistry isn't it?
And don't any of your friends really have any wonderful single friend who'd like to meet a gorgous, smart man?
PeRsOnAllY If SuM1 MeSsAgEd Me LyKe DiS i WuD NoT hAvE RePlIeD.
man that takes ages.
Last night i was on my online dating site and there was a guy which i wasnt into so i said "sorry im not interested but thanks!" and he started messaging me constantly telling me i was a rude woman with no manners and he deserves to know why im saying no. Come on! i dont even know you! im not going to tell you why. so on and on the messages went until i just blocked him.
The scary thing? hes a fucken teacher. I dont think any kids should be around that kind of person.
Hang in there man. I havent seen your eyes either and i think your fucken hot! I prolly wouldnt date you though (because we have a few diff interests and also because you live on the other side of the world) but you would definitly join my hot male friend group!!
Keep your profile there just relax a little and keep trying to find hotties in the flesh.
You're not ugly! You have a great smle!
I guess you should stick with it a little longer. Anyway, it's not like you have any better prospects:-) In response to your comments about the hotties in SD, yes I agree with you. My best friend used to live in Hollywood and I agree the men are better looking down here...so it doesn't surprise me that the women are too. I think there is a little bit less of the fakeness too. Good luck on the dating scene. I'm glad you are finally putting yourself out there. I think you will figure the whole thing out soon.
I don't know what's wrong with those girls. I'd certainly take a chance on you. You're smart, sweet and hilarious.
Here's my theory about online dating - you have 5 seconds (or 5 minutes, depending on the length of your profile) to prove that you're worth dating. In the real world, that's not how it works. Conversation starts casual, you get to know a person based on personality, tone of voice, body language - you get a good read of the person.
Online - not so much. If a person doesn't like your main picture for one reason or another, you're done. But if you met that same person in real life, with personality and three dimensions involved, things might be different.
As a single girl, I absolutely HATE the bar. But I'm not sure, with all it's faults, that online is any better - nor does it make rejection any easier.
Look at me, all Debbie Downer. I say keep trying - online and real world - someone will see that bright, shiny gem of a guy come through. And she'll be amazing! And thanks for sharing your tales with the rest of us who could use a pointer or two.
I can't stand when kids miss use the English spelling of words. KEWL is not a word, not even close.
Look, stop obsessing about the other sex and live your life. When the time is right she will fall in your lap. You are young and shouldn't be in a rush to settle down, enjoy your singlehood and relish in the fact that you have options out there.
The women on that dating site, might be there just for what you said, for their own satisfaction, to see how many people email them, they might not be there for a date as you are. People are mean. Very mean.
Just keep doing what you need to do and all the chips will fall into place....eventually. And when they do, it will be well worth the wait!
Would id myself at step 4
Any indication that you're not using the right service? Supposedly there are subtle differences.
I didn't want to discourage you in your online dating venture but I had similar experiences when I attempted my own, so it's not only you! Try not to get too down about it.
I know it sounds like an eternity, but I really think you have to stick with online dating for at least 6 months.
And maybe you should work that "dickskin soft" line into some of those emails.
I wouldn't give up just yet, although I am sure the frustration of it all leads you to just that.
have you tried meetup.com? you basically go on - pick things you're interested in (anything - biking, cooking, reading, comic books, whatever) and then find other people in your area that like the same things. Then you can plan or join the 'meetup' where everyone gets together.
If someone was sucking your balls you wouldn't need online dating...
It really is a chicken and/or before the egg situation for you no?
"lemme see dem titties."
I involuntarily started to unbutton my shirt.
You know my feelings on the whole subject. Give it time; I have faith.
I'm not single. Sometimes that is unfortunate.
But, I recently joined this mentoring program and thought to myself, "if I were single, I'd go here to pick up dudes."
There were hottie chicks, too! Stop fretting over emails (or the lack thereof) and join Habitat for Humanity or something similar. Painting and looovin' go hand in hand!
You know, there are a lot of hot girls in places such art galleries and occasionally libraries. I've noticed quite a few at the Seattle Art Museum...and I'm pretty sure they have a good grasp on the English language.
People seriously type like that??? WOW......
I think you should just give it up and we could date! Yeah that sounds good. I like you and I know you'll like me so......Problem solved my friend :o)
I was talking to my new boyfriend last night about how he went through a very long dry spell in the ladies department before he met me. He too had just signed up for online dating, and then BAM he met me. So maybe you aren't meant to find someone online, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you meet someone soon!
I remember I joined plentyoffish when i was drunk one night and realised within about two seconds I hated it. I appeared to be fairly popular but the guys emailing me were all ugly and propositioning me for sex. Worse, I then discovered you could rate people's pictures. I was flattered at the tens I received but so insulted if anyone deemed me less attractive than an eight. And all these GIRLS were rating me five and things like that. Felt like hunting them down and saying "Er - why are you rating me? I'm not a lesbian. This is a dating site. I'm clearly NOT going to be dating YOU!!! Leave me alone and stop judging me!"
Grrr. So the online dating is a big FAIL then???
I feel your pain brotha!
I too set up an online dating profile and I think I have gotten about 10-11 messages. Apparently my profile is "intimidating"
I thought I was being funny...
I chalked it up as a FAIL for myself.
Saddest post I've read in a long time. Get off the online dating sites AHORA.
If it's any consolation, I have felt the exact same way. I've also had times where I sent out about 10 messages and got zilch. Online dating (even on AM) is absolutely brutal to a guy's ego.
Dude...
online dating lets chicks be as picky as they want without feeling bad about it.
Craigslist?
Craig has always been good to me.
Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear that you're staying current with what your 19yr old is probably reading. Good idea. That's one way to rob the cradle...truly understand where they're coming from. :)
SO@24:
'I get that way when I read old copies of Babysitter's Club #3 "Stacey's Secret"
*Spoiler Alert* She has diabetes.'
The same people who are out there in the real world? Are online, too.
You meet the same idiots and assholes.
And that's OK, it just takes some weeding out... JUST LIKE REAL LIFE!
ThAt TeXt jUsT bRoUgHt mE bAcK tO mY tRaUmAtIc TeEn YeArS.....aaaaaaaaaahhhh
Good thing to ignore her. Anyone who types like that is a no-no.
OK kewl? that is the girl you should be sending 'let me see dem titties'...
lol@ suck my balls. try sifting through casual encounters on craigslist. it might make you feel less like slicing your wrists and more like watching some porn. i dont know just trying to help.
ps- your blog is doing good huh? I remember when you first started *tear* congrats!!
pps- on the plus side at least she's legal!
Patience. You'll find her. You've only been on a few weeks. Maybe the girl who will appreciate all your Wonder Twin references just hasn't joined yet?
Also, I think I'm going to start carrying a dictionary so I can smack 19 y/o upside the head. Just to make sure they're familiar with the language.
Geeze...SO...
If I had known you were that sad, I would have saved my blogging virginity for someone much taller and less pathetic.
:)
Keep smiling! Your writing is too good for you to be as lame as you claim to be.
Damn, you are popular - look at how many comments here already. And by some pretty cute chicks, I might add. If I get 10 readers per day on my little blog, I'm doing well! (This should make you feel better already, but if not, read on...)
I have no personal experience with this, but tktc (aka 'Cooky') seemed to have a very good take. From an outsider's POV, it appears people can be completely superficial when perusing online profiles - everyone looking for their dream man/woman based on objective, easily quantifiable attributes. pfft - life is not like that, is it? So remember: online does NOT equal real life. You don't suck, the virtual reality there does.
According to Riff, this is a numbers game - just keep on truckin' on, at least for awhile longer.
Then there's chardsy's invite for Sunday. If you don't take her up on that, I'll hunt you down and beat your ass....
"Your Kiss is On My List" is an EXCELLENT song choice. Hall & Oats make me happy. That song tends to pop up on a lot of my playlists as well.
Are you for fucking real with that IM conversation? Good Lord.
Well the first problem is you are on a dating site that is easy for people to get access to who aren't looking for anything more than entertainment and superficiality. Secondly, as everyone said, be patient. If someone didn't like guy drinking alcohol and they read your profile they would not respond. It's more like one small thing they don't like will render no response rather than one small thing they like motivating them to respond. Don't quit.
SO@24,
I feel your pain. I am 25 years old, have never had a relationship, am totally cool/normal/ hot (say all my guy friends), and failed online dating as well.
I find it even more vicious than personal dating. The assumptions people make in online dating after a quick glance at your profile are annoying, but patience is key. This is just the trial run/ practice you need to "get your head in the game!" Stay strong!
74 comments? Holy crap. When do you get a book deal, is all I want to know. And can I write the scholarly epilogue?
Yeah! This 25 year old is playing us big time with his cant get a date thang! He is going for his hundred comments on this post! And probably e mailing the hotties using a generic Bcc! And Riff and Village are here to troll up the crumbs as well! Just jokin fellow! You are doing well and i congratulate you. Trust you enjoyed your visit. You seem to appreciate a good oyster.. shucked and un shucked. :-) You wont get any un answered comments from me.. :-) Love Tiff
Okay, you didn't hear this from me, but go rock that 19-year-old's ass! Does she live with her parents?
Okay, now my serious comment: I'm real sorry that this process bummed you out because I was one of the guys who talked you into it. I guess I just had more success at it because I'm 6'2" and you're 5 foot something. That's totally unfair. Online dating exposes women for the shallow beings they pretend not to be in the real world. Booooooooo!
Don't worry. You'll meet that special lady who will be down for laying down her big wheel and making ice cream with you all night long.
I didn't even mean anything sexual about that!
I agree with Emma. Patience is the key. Keep at it. In the meantime, don't close your eyes to other opportunities around you.
So I was at the Ballroom in Fremont last night....
....I can't say I was too impressed. But I was sober, so that might have been part of it. I did think of you though. If I had been drunk, I'm sure I would have been pulling out my phone trying to text you until realizing 20 minutes later...I don't have your number.
HA HA HA HA.
i think internet dating might be much harder than real life dating, because they're judging primarily on looks, and the superficial.
[just photoshop you picture a bit, you know, flawless great skin, attractive eyes, hot bod/ nice outfit] might work, if not try speed dating =)
After being single for....ever.....I signed up for nerve.com.
I was really excited when I finally found a guy who seemed PERFECT for me...we shared all the same interests, lived near each other, etc....
So I worked up the courage, and emailed him.
He wrote back, telling me he didn't find me attractive. At all.
It's a rough online dating world....
what did i tell you?
Yes im right! This is def heading for 100 comments! Well done! love Tiff
I can't say I have had any experience in online dating, but I think online dating is something that takes time. And that 19-year-old? Ugh.
when people type like that, i want to reach through my computer screen and throttle them.
hey, when you send out these e-mails you're not mentioning anything about a 14 year relationship that you just got out of two years ago that you're writing a blog about are you? cuz... that's a pretty solid reason not to write back.
oh hunny. now i know the one type you tried. maybe it isn't ok to look.
what about a different site? yes? no?
and the girl - in what world iS tYpIng lIkE ThIs nORmaL?
Mornin' dude. First, no you can't see my titties. BUT - Great comments so far, I agree with many of them. I would like to add that even bad dating experiences lead to great blog fodder...don't give up man, you owe it to your fans to have conversations with 19 year olds and post them, to go on bad dates and post them (hopefully with pictures!) and keep us posted on how it goes...you know, all those bad dating things. We want to read about them!
And I've seen pictures...he's a cutie! Take Chardsy up on her offer. Go drink wine (bring the wine with you, she'll be even nicer - I'm sure), meet friends, you never know who you're going to connect with eventually.
Whoa, 88 comments already. I'm beyond the curve.
Um, dude, give it time. Good things come to those who wait. I know, I know, you've waited a long time... Just, stop trying so hard. It'll happen when it happens, hehe.
Patience, young grasshoppa'. I met my husband online. It's a lot of work, but it's pretty much the only way to decently meet someone, ya know? I feel your pain, though...I did it for 3 years (and after 3-4 websites at a time) until I found Mr. Right.
Don't give up. My brother has done the online dating thing twice before. The first time, one of the sites said they had no matches for him. Not one.
Just be careful. The one girl he did bring home stuck around for two years and she was questionable. Very questionable.
You should have replied to the 19-year old:
"ok, lemme see dem titties!"
When I started grad school I had an undergrad randomly msg me (myspace), and I couldn't get past her crappy grammar and lolz and whatnot. What a difference a few years makes!
I totally get what you're talking about. I've gone online to date a time or two and boy was I disappointed with what I found. I live in Las Cruces, NM right now and there aren't many choice candidates involved in the online dating scene. Hey, I'm not trying to 1up you or anything, but at least she was 19, I usually get the old pervy dudes. 60 and up.....

I think there is a little bit less of the fakeness too.
