So now that I'm single should I be dabbling with this iStuff again?Is Plentyoffish the way to go for hot chicks? TIA
the success rate of POF is through the roof. but they are all crazies.however, for quality from what i've seen eharmony is prob your best bet. of course that is also the most annoying and time consuming (i got a free trial awhile back)
Eharmony huh? Isn't that one alot of work?
 
So now that I'm single should I be dabbling with this iStuff again?Is Plentyoffish the way to go for hot chicks? TIA
It has been unreal GB. Been on there 2 months, have had memorable dates ( :bag: :bag: :mellow: ) 9 or 10 times. Probably been on 12-15? Closing ratio is off the charts. No 10's, but all 6-8's. I have been spending more and more time with a really cute 27 year old swimmer. She is 5"11 and not an ounce of flab on her. Great body and very, um, er...., giving.....
 
Alright guys....I was just dumped last friday night (drunken fight) and we are having our final talk before we part ways tonight (dont tell me not to do it, its happening, but we are definitely done)...anyway, I was bored last night so I logged back into my plentyoffish account which i havent been in forever, and threw out about 10 "polar bear" questions. I cant check if anyone has responded from work because it is blocked, but I will keep this thread updated. Heck, doesnt seem like much action going on in this thread, so I am going to try to kickstart it up by posting all links to girls i send messages to, their responses, and my responses...you guys can help with the responses and the best plan of attack for each. Who is up for it?
Be more than happy to help. Polar Bear is $$$$ It opens everything for you and then you really dont have to rely on shtick as much. For those asking about polar bear..........Hero Q: How much does a Polar Bear weigh?her A: No idea.... (normally she will ask a question about you and take some control of the conversation at this point)Hero: I dont know either but I think its enough to break the ice! Insert question and go from there.I just checked and I have sent it out 33 times. I still have 15 unread. I have had 9 replies out of 18 that have opened up the message. That is pretty darn good for a cut and paste message. If the chick has something in her profile that I want to ask about, I will add it after the PB question, but probably 75% of those were nothing but the PB question.

You have to sort out the crazies. It isn't too hard. If you end up meeting them and they passed the crazy test through emails, but are crazy in person, then you go to their place instead of yours. It really isn't that difficult WOZ. I have met 15 or so in person. Only one of them has been crazy. Hot thai chick. Picked her and her drunk friend up from a bar, didn't spend a dollar, took them to my buddies house for drinks, and we both scored. Have not tried eharmony, but it doesnt seem like Otis would be interested in the BS leading up to the 1st meeting. Unless O is still looking for Mrs O????

i didn't mean crazy in a negative way. just, well, crazy
 
Since I recently got out of a long relationship and clearly don't have any iGame (as per above posts), I could use some help with my real game too.

Current situation: Sitting at the coffee house studying for the night, cute barista made my coffee. I made a little bit of small talk already while she was getting it and asked how come I could never get my coffee to taste the way they have it here....what's my next move?

 
alright, this girl replied to the polar bear question saying "depends on the bear"

http://www.plentyoffish.com/viewprofile.as...ile_id=11408631

what should my next message be?
Lets just say that the bear weighed enough to break the ice! I see that you are a dog lover, me too! What kind of dogs do you have? I have an awesome mutt that I rescued from the pound named Otis......

edited to say that her response was lame and I dont have high hopes for her. She is cute though and you at least got a response from her.......

Seems like a good opening question to me. What was her response to your question?
 
http://www.plentyoffish.com/member10014063.htm

She answered my Polar Bear question: "Depends on how much bamboo he eats!J/k i'm not that blonde but i have no clue! I like your personality you really cracked me up when i read your profile! I am also looking for somebody that doesnt want to play parcheeze either and i am looking for a serious relationship and am ready to settle down and find that right person! I would really enjoy talking to you more! Looking foward to hearing from you!"

I answered and sent a bear gift : "Wow, not sure where to go with this one. 1st off, I have never heard of a polar bear being anywhere close to bamboo. I can only guess that you were thinking PANDA bear? If I am correct in my assumption, then I feel obligated to let you know that Panda bears eat eucalyptus trees, not bamboo.

Now back to our friendly polar bear, I have no idea how much it weighs either, but it looks like it was enough to break the ice.......

Just explained it how it's all done and why theirs was different than mine, this old guy next to me had the same question so she was talking to both of us :lol:Now keeping in mind that I can only go and get coffee/food so many times here, what's next?

Its a coffee house right? Why cant you go everyday if you wanted to? Its hard to pick a girl up at work. The more you become familiar the better. Introduce yourself, use her 1st name every time you talk to her. If she starts to use yours, then you are in. Casually drop her a business card with your cell on it and let her know that you would like to discuss that perfect cup of coffee sometime......

Alright I'm starting to see an angle here....I'm still a student actually, 23, and I do come here almost every day (studying for CPA exam) but have only seen this girl once, maybe twice.

I like the bolded line above though....I might try that after I get her name....

Well there goes that idea....The person she was working with just said pretty loudly, "So what are you getting your boyfriend for Valentine's Day?"

Better luck next time...

She answered my Polar Bear question: "Depends on how much bamboo he eats!J/k i'm not that blonde but i have no clue! I like your personality you really cracked me up when i read your profile! I am also looking for somebody that doesnt want to play parcheeze either and i am looking for a serious relationship and am ready to settle down and find that right person! I would really enjoy talking to you more! Looking foward to hearing from you!"

I answered and sent a bear gift : "Wow, not sure where to go with this one. 1st off, I have never heard of a polar bear being anywhere close to bamboo. I can only guess that you were thinking PANDA bear? If I am correct in my assumption, then I feel obligated to let you know that Panda bears eat eucalyptus trees, not bamboo.

Now back to our friendly polar bear, I have no idea how much it weighs either, but it looks like it was enough to break the ice.......

this whole exchange has me confused.did he know that she knew that polar bears dont eat bamboo? Did he then decide to go with this line of confusion. Deciding to throw out a wrong fact about pandas just to start conversation about koala bears? What's next in this exchange? Are you hoping that she will point out that the koala isnt really a bear? Then are you going to bring a vermont teddy bear for your first date?

wow this is serious strategy going on here. either that or you need to watch a little more animal planet.

Man, there's been a deluge of new women on POF in my dating range (late 30s to late 40s) & area the last couple of weeks. Anyone else notice it in their area? Wonder if V-Day coming up brings them out.......

Anyway, I go through phases when I want to date & when I don't want to be bothered. Right now, I feel like playing so I carpet-bombed about a dozen potentials the other day. So far, only one has responded but she's asking questions already which is good. If I get no responses from the others, there are plenty more out there to contact.

It's a little different when you're talking to women my age - they know all of the tricks (most have been divorced/cheated on/lied to a number of times) and are wary creatures. They are also more steadfast in sticking to their guns about their likes/dislikes. On top of all that, women my age are much less used to communicating/meeting through on-line methods - unlike 20-somethings who grew up doing it - which adds another layer to break through.

Then are you going to bring a vermont teddy bear for your first date?

wow this is serious strategy going on here. either that or you need to watch a little more animal planet.
Light at the end of the tunnel?
 
anyone else suffer from feast or famine when it comes to dating?

This has got to be one of the most bizarre conversations I have had with regards to dating.

I was at a bar last night celebrating a 12-11 indoor soccer win with my teammates. I see this really cute girl wearing a hat at the bar, sitting by herself drinking a corona. I sit down at the corner opposite of her (perpendicular) about 5 feet away. She is just staring in my direction but away at like the wall or something. So I just stare at her knowing that she can see me staring at her, and she will slowly look down at me and then look back at the wall, and then down and then wall and then finally locks eyes and smiles. I ask her what nationality she, she said guess. I really had no clue so I sad middle eastern? She was a little offended, "Middle Eastern? do I look Middle Eastern?". I was like, "Eastern European?" she goes, "that's better". I ask her why she is at the bar alone and she rambles on about some whacky story. We talk a little more and she is getting ready to take off (didn't even finish her beer) and asks for my digits :unsure: I give her my number and tell her to text me so that I will have her number as well. After she takes off about an hour later I get a text that says, "My name is Danielle don't 4get it"

We exchange a few texts today and she tells me her date cancelled for tonight. I told her, that's a shame, where do you want me to take you? She said Tao or BLT Prime or any place with organic kobe beef. :confused: So I scramble to find out if I can find reservations at either place, nope, booked. I recommend another place (kobe steak is like $100 a plate :kicksrock: ) for 10pm. She calls me 5 minutes later and the convo goes like this,

D: "Hi <Alias>, it turns out I need to table host tonight at Gansevoort. Instead of having dinner with me, do you just want to get a table and I can hang with you all night?"

A: :hot: Umm, I am confused.

D: Yeah you just get a table, usually for 5 people, 2 bottle minimum.

A: :angry: Yeah, it's Valentines day, it is going to be kind of hard to get a group together.

D: Oh. I am having a hard time renting my table tonight. If you want a table another time just let me know.

A: :unsure: Um, sounds good, bye.

About 10 minutes later I get another call

A: Hey

D: Hi <Alias>, I am having a hard time renting my table tonight.

A: :hot: thinking to myself wtf?!?

D: So do you want to go out instead?

A: Ummm, sure, I just cancelled reservations let me rebook.

D: Ok, my friend's band is playing at 8:30 want to catch that first and then dinner?

A: Ok.

D: Meet me at my gym, the YMCA, <address>

A: :unsure: Ok see you then

D: About an hour later, get a text, oh yeah if you are not doing anything tomorrow night come see my band play $10 cover, over 21, <address>...for an anti-valentine's day party.

A: Ok see you tonight at 8:30

:lmao:

Like I said the girl is pretty hot - I am not sure how it came up but she told me last night she is a model, that apparently also table hosts at Gansevoort. For reference Ashley Dupre was a bartender at the Gansevoort (might still be), and this chick is definitely bat-crazy. Should be an interesting night.

D: Hi <alias> can you stop by my other gym and pick up my salad on your way down? I want to eat it before we go out.

A: Ummmmm, I was just going to shoot down the F train to meet you.

D: lots of garbled static

A: Can I call you back?

D: Sure

D: Yeah so I left my salad at my work gym, can you pick it up on your way down to see me?

A: Ummm, o.k. :thumbup:

Pretty standard way to start out a relationship really.

This.She's not the chick for you. No way this gets any better. It only gets worse from whatever they do initially.

 
epic fail, worst date ever.

she was allergic to everything, did not have a single alcoholic beverage the entire night

We get to the restaurant and there are major major major delays, we waited an hour and there were still 15 groups ahead of us. I should have just cut her loose there but took her to a neighborhood hotel bar/restaurant. The whole night she is crying about how poor she is and how her life sucks. She got a salad and was a total ##### to the waitress, tells me I better not leave her a good tip. :lmao: I ask her if she asks for the number from a lot of guys, and she says, "well yeah, clients." :hot: So this whore wanted me to buy her a $100+ dinner for what? I told her off after that, she left the table. I told her there would be no dessert (even though she said she wanted the Tiramasu) I am getting the check. She said, well then I am leaving, I can't believe you thought this was anything more then dinner. I told her, good luck finding clients. By clients she meant suckers to buy table service at the club she was promoting. :wall: She came from a broken home, her parents lost custody of her when she was 16, apparently life sucked there too because they locked her up in a cellar with rats :goodposting:

Yeah she was a psycho alright, not the good kind though.

WTF!Sounds like a hooker to me. Trying to make money off of you by renting her table or going to see her band. Who the hell is that dumb? Unreal

What happened to the salad she left at her "other gym"? Sorry but you deserve this bro. That girl is nuts. What were you hoping for here? :goodposting:
 
she was easily a 9, alias does not get many 9 opportunities in life. I'm trying real hard to find a pic of her online, but I am coming up empty. If I find one I will be sure to post it. I left out a few gems, enjoy...

She goes to the bathroom and is gone for literally 30 minutes, the kitchen is closing and I am ready to send out the search team - her jacket was still there so it was unlikely that she pulled a Houdini. She finally makes it back, I ask her if she is o.k. and she says she got lost on the WAY BACK to the restaurant.

She kept asking these guys in pilot suits which way the restaurant was and she said they refused to tell her. She asked them if they worked for a different department, 1 not related to the restaurant. They said, huh? We're ####### airline pilots, see the wings on our jackets?

Her friend in the band, really good voice btw, gave out chocolates, I had one and told her how good it was, she asked if it had peanuts in it, and I said yes, so she gave me hers since she is allergic to peanuts. Later that night she told me how mad she was at me because she loves chocolate and I described to her how great it tasted.

Ok last one...this takes the cake btw...I tell her I am looking for an apartment and explained how expensive the west village was and how I could get a 2 BR in financial district for the same price as a 1 BR in the W. Village. She said she would be my roommate (LMFAO about this right now), so long as she doesn't have to pay more then $850 a month. I ask her why she is moving. She lives in Harlem right now and her roommate is jealous of her because her roommate's boyfriend keeps hugging her. So her roommate told her boyfriend to stop hugging her and now he only hugs her when his girlfriend is not around to catch him!

in the middle of the date I felt an eerily similarity to Joaquin Phoenix's recent Letterman interview.

I used 1 game question on her:

A: So describe the ocean using 3 adjectives.

D: No.

:thumbup:

other stumpers...

A: Do you have any hobbies or interests?

D: I don't have time

A: What kind of music do you like?

D: Ummmmmmmm, I don't know.

A: Do you like blues?

D: NO. I don't like blues and I don't like Jazz.

How did you not see this coming when she kept asking you to "buy" time to see her by filling her tables?
technically she only asked me once, it just did not compute that she would still go out with me when I told her I was not interested. Thankfully I did not have to foot her kobe bill at Uncle Jack's ($60 meal for the two of us, she had a salad, hot water and lemons -- vs. probably a $250 meal at Uncle Jack's), I would have been 4x more miserable this morning, so there is a silver lining.
 
:thumbup:At least you got some great stories out of all that.
exactly, my married friends are enjoying them tooone of my single buddies down in DC suggested I join jdate and lie and say that I am Jewish (I could probably pull off half-Jewish). I am contemplating it just for the shtick factor, plus I have an easy out if the girl wants to get serious, sorry honey I'm Irish-Catholic. Is there any such thing as Irish-Jewish, I look a little too Irish for this to possibly work (and I have blond hair). What about French-Jewish (my last name is French)?
 
Getting ready to jump in the idating pool (thanks to Krista for her profile help). So, I see items like "the polar bear question" among the last few pages of postings so wondering if anyone has a summary page of the helpful hints/tips on icebreakers, replies, etc... so I don't have to comb through all 134 pages (although it sound like it could provide some prime comedy relief at times).

Quick profile: 43 (from a quick read, seems like at least Uruk-Hai is in the same range...any others?), divorced, 2 kids (split custody), stable person (at least I like to think so:)

At this point, primarily looking to meet new people and have some fun. Where it goes from there, who knows.

My last item: just found out Friday I am being downsized...but, Krista has encouraged me to get out there anyway...could be worth a few laughs!

Onward and upward!

She answered my Polar Bear question: "Depends on how much bamboo he eats!J/k i'm not that blonde but i have no clue! I like your personality you really cracked me up when i read your profile! I am also looking for somebody that doesnt want to play parcheeze either and i am looking for a serious relationship and am ready to settle down and find that right person! I would really enjoy talking to you more! Looking foward to hearing from you!"

I answered and sent a bear gift : "Wow, not sure where to go with this one. 1st off, I have never heard of a polar bear being anywhere close to bamboo. I can only guess that you were thinking PANDA bear? If I am correct in my assumption, then I feel obligated to let you know that Panda bears eat eucalyptus trees, not bamboo.

Now back to our friendly polar bear, I have no idea how much it weighs either, but it looks like it was enough to break the ice.......

Do you have a my space account or any more pics that you care to share? feel free to look me up at my space under SurvivalNate or you can email me at ********@gmail.com
:thumbup: Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the Giant Panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo.
Well this is embarrassing.
:thumbup:
:thumbup: :lmao:
:lol: :lol: :lol: When did pandas get to Australia?

 
:sleep:

At least you got some great stories out of all that.

Epstein on Welcome Back Kotter was a Puerto Rican Jew. so what the hell?Also for non-schticking Gentiles, I think you can join J-date without being one of the Tribe.
