    Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

    Honestly, I tried to answer it as if someone was asking me the question in person.

    Alot of people try to have these witty, long drawn out summaries of themselves to sound smart, and that's really not who I am so I kept it simple.

    For example under the "I'm Really Good at:" section, I put:
    Being a better driver than 90% of the population
    Beating people in Monopoly
    Being sarcastic and making people laugh

    Just try to show a little bit of yourself. It's hard online, because it's just text, but keep it short and to the point. Aint no one trying to read mile long page about you haha If they like what you look like, and you have some things in common, then you can get into all that other stuff through messages and chat.

      Yeah, my profile is the problem I've had.

      I've struck out a few times over the past few months and I'm going to finally try the online dating route. I created an account a few days ago on okcupid, but I havent even made any edits to my profile or added any pictures yet.

      It seems like you guys are mostly using that and I've actually experimented with POF a little and I didn't like it.

      Wish me luck.

        I try to reciprocate the amount of interest they have towards me. I've had girls that I text every other day between dates and I've had ones that I texted nonstop because they were constantly texting me. I don't believe that whole "don't talk to them for 2 days after the date."

        Most dates I go on the girl texts me later that night saying she had a great time and would like to see me again. Now I usually won't text them first, so when they text me I'll text them back and try and set something up for the next date. Well, that's been my experience so far. Been on dates with 4 women since July (was with one for 3 months) and that's how they've all went.

          Hmm, seems like I've got some competition over here. Although I guess I've had more success. I generally stay away from messaging the NYC and Brooklyn girls since I don't see myself going to the city on a regular basis. Once I move up there though I'm sure it will be easier to get dates. Pretty sure I've seen that the number of women on OKC in Manhattan/Brooklyn outnumber the guys.

          If you guys want, you could post some of your profiles for critique. We could also rate each other 5 stars to inflate our ratings.

          Also OKCupid gave me mod access on the site. So now I get to see all the flagged pictures, profiles, and messages. Lots of people creating profiles using pictures of porn stars and lots of dudes posting pictures of, uh... themselves. Now I see why some of the women delete their profiles.

            I never thought to get guy friends to vote for my profile, haha. Good idea.



            I feel like I'm continually whittling down what I have written and it always seems like too much.

                    Got some email saying she was into me. Whatever that means. I might start to really like this OKC. Actually might be glad you guys put me onto this. Lol

                      I decided to give OKC a shot. So far, I haven't been impressed. I don't think my area is a hotspot for it. I've messaged one girl so far, but she hasn't been on since October, so I kind of doubt I'll hear from her.

                          Met my wife on Match.com as well.

                          Had just gotten out of an engagement to a girl I had dated off and on for 4 years in college. Finished school for the year and moved back home.

                          Wanted to get out and meet people but I'm not exactly outgoing when first meeting people. I had found a free 7 day promo code for Match and figured what the heck, I'll just look around and see what's on the site. Signed up and filled it all out and not 45 minutes later I had my first email.

                          As they say, the rest is history and we were married within 9 months and now have been married almost 9 months.

                          Amazing really when I think about the timing and how she had just joined that same week as well.

                              I caved...never done this before. Curious to see if I get any results from it.

                                There is a filter under the matches to only show people who have been on in the last week.

                                I live about 25 minutes from Dallas, but I just said F it and put my location as Dallas since it's in between where I live and where I work. The three chicks I've had serious conversations with I just casually revealed where I currently lived and they didn't seem to creeped out by it.
