It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin: A Thread About Dating

[chiapet]

You gone get raped**cue image

I brought Friday's OKCupid date home with me, less than 30 minutes after meeting him, and I didn't get raped, so...


(It's not as bad as it sounds - we met up for drinks / possible dinner, the restaurant was too crowded, and it was only a few blocks from my apartment. I kicked him out as quickly as I possibly could, after realizing how stupid it was to drunkenly bring a stranger home. I'm sure he was perplexed as to why I invited him over).

Chiapet: drunken cocktease

[Courtney]

I'm really concerned with this, it would be awful/humiliating to wind up on a date with someone who felt duped by your profile picture. I put less flattering ones up and now the messages are coming in less frequently. :P

I was thinking about this the other day and about maybe how I should put up intentionally unflattering photos so then people will be pleasantly surprised, instead of the opposite. So I just put up two new photos of me (one headshot and one full-body shot) taken within the last week that are EXACTLY how I look when I'm hanging out in person and not particularly dressed up or makeup-ified.

I don't think I have any pictures like that. I think (well, I'd like to think) that I look better in person than I do in most photographs... but of course the ones I'd want to post are more flattering than typical.

Last week I made a resolution to actually look better in person (like, fix my hair, wear makeup, not wear my pajamas in public). It lasted for a few days.

[Goatchella]

I dare you to bring me home drunk.
I'll have your house smellin like dank and be taking a shower in less than an hour.

[chiapet]

I'm not at all a cocktease (a drunk, perhaps). It was just an incredibly poor decision that fortunately did not have any negative consequences other than not really enjoying my awesome sushi because I was so concerned with getting him out of my place.

[Mugwog]

30 minutes of weed smoking
15 minutes to get it up
5 minutes of heaven
6 minute shower, no soap

[Goatchella]

You have me nailed...

I have a couple photos of you like that, I think. Hold on, I'll PM them to you if I can find them.

[Goatchella]

Send nudes to my email plz

[kitt kat]

Kat, do you look upset/bored/scared in person?
I have found that the biggest thing is smiling and pretending to enjoy yourself/seeming open even if you aren't.

I dunno, I don't walk around with a mirror looking at my facial expressions all night.

I think Any first meet for a girl should not lead a guy to where she lives especially if you live in a big city
It sounds like you two will have a round 2. I feel as a guy you should have a decent date planned out that can be tweaked as the night goes on. Much rather spend the night chatting up and finding common ground. I prefer not to sex it up the first meet. Building sexual tension is hawt

[Mugwog]

You have me nailed...

OooOh I'm Getting some goatchella this coachella

[Goatchella]

A date with the goat:

Very fun, nothing is serious, too much flirting and flattering , spoilage, cuddling and kissing....to your bed, teasing and no sex.

Next day goat is judged as gay by dates friends because she wanted to fuck and he teased her until she fell asleep.

Or

Goat gets drunk and blows it in a major way, makes fool of himself, has great sex and avoids date for ever.

does online dating really work?
from what i can tell, the people who have posted in this thread have given it or still are giving it an honest try... to no avail
but for me dating in person sucks right now.. i rarely meet women, and i blame it on staying home and relaxing all day.
i want to meet someone with common interests, but if my interests are watching movies youve seen before while bundled up in bed, getting high and hanging out, and just relaxing with someone not caring about anything.. that doesn't exactly get me out much to meet people.
i need a girl that can be lazy with me but is also up for spontaneous amazing outings :P
again.. does online dating really work?

[chiapet]

No, the guy from Friday is definitely not getting a second date.

And obviously, no one should plan to bring an internet stranger back to her apartment immediately. It was a fuck up. I wasn't planning on going out at all, I was drunk and browsing on my phone, he messaged me and was a matter of minutes away so I just went to a bar and waited for him. IF I HAD PUT advance thought into it, I wouldn't have gone out with him at all. :P

[Goatchella]

^if your stayin home relaxing all day your failing at life as a whole...you don't deserve pussy or companionship.

[the walrus]

^at least im not home all day foolishly insulting people online who i dont even know...
great job

[Wheres the beef?]

Maybe you should try 420Cupid.

Drunk browsing can be dangerous on a weekend night

So why was he a no no?

[chiapet]

Courtney, you're awesome! That fits the bill. I don't love that picture of me but it's probably pretty fair as to how I look.

[Goatchella]

I'm gettin paid the big bucks to do this mr walrus.

And I'm not putting anyone down. I've been building them up mr walrus.
Have I told you how beautiful you are?

Even though you fail at life you deserve the best. You deserve a woman that eats whatever she wants and lays around watching movies all day, but also has a pristine body and a six figure income.

[chiapet]

So why was he a no no?

He looked nothing like his profile picture. I'm not really that shallow at all regarding appearance, but it did not even seem like it was the same person. He was really dull. Even though I'm probably coming across as an intolerable bitch on this thread, I'm pretty easy going in person. I usually give a person a few tries before I write him or her off. This guy was just... so terribly boring. It was clear that he just wanted to get laid (he must have been thrilled that I invited him back to my place) but was not willing to put any effort into it or even try to be charming.

[the walrus]

^haaaaaa see! now this guy is funny 420cupid XD

let me elaborate i have misrepresented myself in trying to sum up my interests in a simple paragraph.
do i stay home all day.. fuck no. i would if i could though.
i work 2 jobs
i am a sponsored skateboarder
many friends drag me out to go to parties or bars almost every night.
im also constantly hiking because there's a lack of things to do really.
and just so someone doesn't misconstrue again, these are a VERY small list of activities which are EXTREMELY paraphrased

i simply tried to say that if left up to me. i would stay home and watch corny movies all day under a blanket.
with a bowl or 2

[Goatchella]

What kind of effort dos a man need to put in to come off as caring and deserving of some chiaPoon?

If you understood how unreasonably low my standards and expectations were, you'd understand why I was so upset that this guy was so awful.

There are few people I actually don't enjoy hanging out with at all, and I would (under the right circumstances) sleep with pretty much all of my friends because they're cool and smart and funny and stuff. This guy was just awful.

[Mugwog]

Ouch, you got the one who doesnt post a real pic of themselves. That's the worst. You meet in person then ugh...

Borin is borin, truth to that. At least a stupid person can entertain, my buddy's gf/ex (they are in that phase) is so stupid Ive reached that level where I don't hate her anymore. She's just a dimwit and that's all to it. I let her chime in on things, so she can say something retarded. My buddy is smart but he is pussy whipped and it brings him down career wise, I hope he breaks it off with her soon and permanently.

Everyone loves sex, but that shouldn't be the pure basis of a partner
