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

[Courtney]

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.

I think it makes you look shorter than you are because of the angle. But otherwise, fairly accurate.

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

honestly the most intelligent thing ive read today

[Mugwog]

Let's just start a coachella dating site
A place for Snarky music lovers to meet up and find more reasons to flame eachother on the forums

[casey]

Mugwog, demonstrating first hand exactly why the guys on online dating sites are awful.

I was thinking this exactly as I was reading his posts.

[chiapet]

I just blocked the person who seems to be expressing the most interest in me.

Based on: Cara thought he looked really creepy (I agree),.. and earlier in this thread, I said he'd viewed my profile 12 times so far today? He did it 7 more times since then.

[romanticizer]

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

Maybe you just need to be more aware of your body. Think about what you are projecting instead of what the "running dialogue" that might be (but probably isn't) happening in the other person's head is.

[Mugwog]

Well perhaps he saw your profile, you caught his eye whole he was browsing and he doesn't want to send you a quick thoughtless message. I usually check out girls in my area and do an elImination process of who I'd like to know more. I don't want to send something lame like "hey what's up, you're hot", sometimes I'm too busy to write a decent message or I look at my schedule and it's pretty loaded for the week. This ends up in a few peeks at a profile

[chiapet]

To be clear, I got 19 messages today that he looked at my profile. Every time I look at my visitors, there he was again.

He did send me 2 messages already, that I didn't reply to - he was one of the handful of people that I did not respond to, due to seeming way too creepy.

I'm not even on that site tho.

[chiapet]

Goatchella, Cara actually has repeatedly defended you as being "not that bad." Hahaha.

[scenicworld]

bucketofpower: Your experiences are exactly why I prefer to take my time and really get to know the person before arranging a face to face meet up. Unfortunately, my apprehensiveness seems to turn off most others.

Another whom I met online and we started to click on our first date, and then she dropped the fact that she'd be moving to San Francisco in a couple of weeks. You're welcome for the free meal and I'll never see you again.

Who knows, though, it could turn out like Justin Long and Drew Barrymore in Going the Distance! I love that movie, but it could just be because I have a geek crush on Justin Long and a girl-crush on Drew Barrymore.

[romanticizer]

This makes me want to try online dating...

[BROKENDOLL]

I think the problem is that I don't really want to go on dates. I am horrible at dating. I just want to skip the whole category and be in a relationship where I have a guy who will sit around and watch sports or whatever without bugging me while I sit around and read trashy women's magazines, and then have awesome sex together later.

I believe the problem lies in the fact that you joined a dating sight and don't like dates... All is not lost though, Courtney. Based upon your other desires, I'd like for you to meet Roy. He's handsome, doesn't mind sitting around, nor does he care what you're up to until of course, you need your demands met... At that point, it takes two and you'll be able to share your creative abilities with Roy and make him do anything you want...

[nathanfairchild]

i had a date with this girl i met last fall. things seemed to be going alright and then after about an hour in she started to over-share. she was telling me about how her dad abused her and shit like that. complete turnoff and really inappropriate to share with someone you barely know. there was no second date.

[Goatchella]

Well Cara still has plenty of time to get to know the real me.

if they make this thing with a smaller cock I might be able to use it as a body double when I have work to do.
It would lay there putting in the same effort and everything. Prob has more brains too.

Yeah. If you call once, they will see you called. No need to leave a voice message or a text after that

[BROKENDOLL]

Are you willing to move to Phoenix for about 5 years to do this? Following that, I will consider where you would like to move. I am crazy and creepy but I have a turntable, an apartment that's doubles as a gallery for your profession and hobbies, and also some beer. You can even let me know in advance which magazines you will require and I can get the subscriptions coming in advance of your arrival so you aren't bored when you first get here.

I'm sure the sex will be awesome as well. At least it is when I do it by myself so...i'm fairly confident this would all work. Finally, I do 70-80% of my ranting on facebook so in person, it's much less annoying.

And there you have it, a possible match right here on the board, Courtney. He's clever, has space for both to be together or get in each other's way, and if all else, if the sex isn't good, at least you've got a companion that can hold their own.

If a guy is a real life paranormal researcher... is that weird or kind of cool??

[guedita]

Well Cara still has plenty of time to get to know the real me.

Oh, you. I'm coming to visit soon. Please have a hammock in a tree in the mountains waiting for my arrival.

[Goatchella]

Covered. I have a couple.

Your welcome anytime.

[romanticizer]

Both but I lean towards cool, despite the fact that every one I've seen on TV looks like this:

[chairmenmeow47]

I just want to meet someone organically...

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to Amoeba for no other reason than to try and talk to hot guys buying records. I usually fail at this because I'm way too awkward to talk to people. One time, a guy who worked there got me a record off the back wall and he complemented me on my taste and all I could say is "Yeah OK thanks."

how is going to a record store just to pick up guys "organic"?

i have not had any creepy dates yet off ok cupid, thank goodness. i also don't respond to a lot of messages.

[Goatchella]

That guy looks stoned off his ass

[romanticizer]

Probably. He also appears to be sweating.

[HotHamWater]

This thread needs a reset button. I feel like it was started with good intentions, with the possibility for content, and regressed into a giant shit show rather quickly.

I hate you all.

[marooko]

Not that I'm looking, but I also thought it would be interesting.

[scenicworld]

ghost hunting is serious business!
So far we've hit it off pretty well. He's the guy that I mentioned up-thread about writing a well written, non-creepy message. So far, we've been making fun of Zak from Ghost Adventures and how he likes to fight ghosts.

[amyzzz]

Props to Mugwog and Goatchella for creeping up the thread.
