***Official*** FFA iDating Thread (1 Viewer)

OK...would it be terrible of me to join eHarmony again just to have stories to share here? I guess I know the answer to that. But really, reading all this just makes it sound very amusing and fun, and I did enjoy it before. I just don't really want to date anyone, which I guess should be a gating item for joining a dating site. What if I didn't lead anyone on and just had fun, maybe even met people and saw what happened? I mean, theoretically, someone could come along who just blows me away, though the chances of that are infinitesimal. But it seems like I could have fun and share with the FFA anyway.

But is it a mean thing to do, if there is almost zero chance I'd really want to date anyone?

:thumbup:
So essentially, you do want to date someone. You just don't want to consider meeting a bunch of crazies actually dating.
No, I don't want to go on dates. I think I've been very clear on that.It's probably a bad idea, I guess. I thought it might simply be fun, story-wise.
You were all set to break the rules for dude that turned psycho. You admit here that dating was fun and seem to be open to the possibilities of finding someone that "blew you away". Maybe you've said you didn't want to date a few times, but you're really not making it all too clear.
Fair enough. But I wasn't ready to break the rules for that guy...could have (he continued to pursue for quite a while and was apologetic about the psycho episode) but didn't. You're right, though--I guess I do find "dating" to be fun, but I have no interest in a relationship. And with me, there seems to be no casual dating--things seem to get all Wozzy serious really fast even if that's not what I want. So I would prefer to avoid dating altogether just to avoid the seemingly inevitable relationship part of it. That said, I love meeting new people if I can just keep them at arm's length. :goodposting:
FWIW, this is essentially what I'm doing. The online process entertains me, and I enjoy meeting people. But since I'm not really looking for a relationship, I lose interest fast and move on to the next iGirl. :shrug: And like you said, if someone just blew me away I could see getting serious (or semi-serious at least).
Thanks...I'm at home today so I actually signed up for one month, though haven't decided yet whether to answer anybody. I just like taking the 8 million question quiz. You'd think that's a joke, but it's not. :bag:
Will you share the results?I'll show you mine if you...
Oh yeah...you posted one from another site before, didn't you? You first. ;)
 
OK, here's page one:

You tend to be a traditionalist, and will enjoy the social environment best if it is stable and predictable. You dislike sudden decisions about where to go or what to do, preferring to think things out first. You have a basic need to be supportive of others. You will agree with others, sometimes even if it's not what you really want. You prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict and hostility. In that environment, you prefer reassurance of your involvement and self-worth. You are a good friend and are always willing to help those you consider to be your friends. You also show strong ties, and will be uncomfortable when separated from your friends for an extended period. Others may perceive you as being undemonstrative and self-controlled. Not wanting to be the center of attention, you generally support others. You may demonstrate positive possessiveness by developing strong attachments; however, you will not be overly involved as some others tend to do. You tend to be loyal to others. Your loyalty shows in a variety of ways including your "staying power" with relationships and activities. Because of your lenient and complacent nature, others with fewer scruples may take advantage of you. You could, perhaps, benefit from greater assertiveness.Others will notice that you are a sincere person about what you say and do. This trait, along with the excellent listening skills, creates an individual whom most people find pleasant to be with and a calming type of person. You have a communications style which many people are comfortable with almost immediately. You are sincere, a good listener, not pushy and overall a comfortable person to be near. You tend to internalize conflict. As a result, if something about another is bothering you, you may bottle-up feelings and keep them inside. In communicating with others, you may support the mainstream ideas rather than new trailblazing activities. You may prefer the stable and traditional activities. In your group, you may support the group leader rather than vie for a leadership position yourself. As a result, the group leader will usually appreciate the support you bring.

So furley what do you think about this message?Angela,I am an ibuddy of Furley's. He said we both like to drink at the same places. Do you think that maybe if you are not too busy, and don't mind these places( I know Furley can sure be full of crap sometimes) that we could both drink there together sometime? I guess we could always do it separate too if you want. I can go to Bjonda and you can go to Louise's, then we can text. I know you may be nervous about giving me your phone number so I have already covered that. I will pm furley through FBGs and then he can tell you what I am saying. How does that sound?Springrollps. do you like any of these things? Pets, books, eyeglasses, wine, politics, long vacations, making dinner, blue hair, hot pink sheets, sound, friction, long walks, chaos into sense, lady into fox.
:shrug: I like sound!
ok well lets me you and furley set it up then.You want Louise's or Bjonda?
 
Then there's a list of communication styles that would work well with mine (boring stuff), then this:

You are very sincere in actions and words. You tend to be a very calming influence in heated situations. You are good at reconciling (i.e. you don't like to sulk after a conflict is resolved). You take pride in being very loyal to friends and family. You tend to bring feelings of security and stability to a relationship. You tend to work hard at making sure that other people are happy. You are good at helping others to reach their goals. You are generally good at cooling down tense situations in a relationship. You are very supportive of other people. You are a dependable and caring partner. You are excellent at listening to the concerns and ideas of others. You are generally very patient with people.
I've always thought the last one couldn't be further from the truth.
 
So furley what do you think about this message?

Angela,

I am an ibuddy of Furley's. He said we both like to drink at the same places. Do you think that maybe if you are not too busy, and don't mind these places( I know Furley can sure be full of crap sometimes) that we could both drink there together sometime? I guess we could always do it separate too if you want. I can go to Bjonda and you can go to Louise's, then we can text. I know you may be nervous about giving me your phone number so I have already covered that. I will pm furley through FBGs and then he can tell you what I am saying. How does that sound?

Springroll

ps. do you like any of these things? Pets, books, eyeglasses, wine, politics, long vacations, making dinner, blue hair, hot pink sheets, sound, friction, long walks, chaos into sense, lady into fox.
I dunno about her but you're starting to turn me on. :shrug:
was it the hot pink sheets?
pink sheets! :doh: i totally mis-read that.
 
Apparently, these are my "emotional wants":

You may want:

Time to adjust to change.

Freedom from pressure to perform or to act quickly without precedent.

Detailed information about major decisions with complete instructions.

Others to adhere to your high standards.

Objectivity and logic in relationships and activities.

Things done "right" the first time.

Fewer changes, if many changes have occurred recently.



Time away occasionally--you value your privacy.

Respect among peers and friends for your quiet manner.

Straight talk and straight dealing.

Security and safety procedures around the house: fire safety, smoke detectors, electronic security systems, etc.

Reassurance.
ETA: Just noticed the bolded part.

Well, you know how much I like both of them...I'll go with Bjonda just so I can experiment with different ways to say the name of the place incorrectly.

At the top, click where it says "reports", then click on "personality profile".
 
Yep, that is the only report I have.

Do you see a left navigation bar with these categories?

Agreeableness >

Openness >

Emotional Stability >

Couscientiousness >

Extraversion >

'cause that is all I see, I do not see a section of "wants"

Weird. I have no left navigation bar; just a top navigation bar that says overview, communication, improving communication, strengths, and needs. I posted everything but the "improving communication" part.There is a premium personality profile, which I don't have. Could that be what you have instead?
 
Some days I feel like I am watching that SNL sexual harrasment video with Tom Brady (so remember, be Better Looking). I just got this reply from this cute italian chick:

do you have another pic? which one are you in the group shot?
I sent her a head shot I have on the site but not public, she did send me a short reply saying she just got back from Europe for 2 1/2 weeks which is slightly better then Read Deleted, but not expecting this to go anywhere, we'll see.
You send a group photo as a pic of yourself? :goodposting:
Just realized my profile pic here at FBG is the same pic I used. Enough to lure them in...

Just opened up one of my matches (who looks very good, BTW) and see one of his five short questions was this one:

What is your opinion of traditional gender roles?

A) I like traditional gender roles and want to be in a relationship that celebrates them.

B) I would accept traditional gender roles if my partner were really interested in them.

C) I'm not at all interested in traditional gender roles and want my mate and me to define our roles on our own.

:football:

No clue, I probably have version 2.0 personality profile and you have the version 1.0 personality profile :headbang:
Maybe because I was on here four years ago I reverted to a different version? But that doesn't make any sense because I did have to go through and answer all the questions again. :football:

Speaking of these personality tests, has anyone looked at the "Compatibility Matches" at POF? I hadn't really noticed it until now.

They only show the 36 highest rated. Of those, I'm only attracted to 2 or 3. My favorite of those just happens to be the girl I'm seeing tomorrow night. :football:

yeah that is a pretty dumb question to ask
 
out of curiosity, has there ever been a thread in the FFA that's been 100 pages long? this one should be there by this season's kickoff.

 
how many matches do you have at eHarmony? I have 24 and I close out like 5+ a day, might just be a lot of fish in NYC.

especially to a female lawyer.seems like the only guy that would ask that would be somebody who wants a trophy housewife.

It gave me 23 initially when I signed up this morning.Oddly, I just opened the three that have already contacted me, and in the list of "five things you can't live without", two of them have listed The Economist. :football:

I usually get about 3-4 a day in Madison. Not bad, not great, but they do sometimes randomly match me with Chicago and Milwaukee, even though I tell it not to.

I already told you..... THE OPPOSITE!
The opposite of looking to buy her drinks or dinner with it??
Yes. If you're going to take the money you should buy beer and strippers with it. I personally would take the money, forget what these others are saying. Because as weird as it is to accept money from a chick on an internet message board, it's only weird because of the fact that she sent it in the first place.
