Ill throw my hat in the ring. I signed up for eharmony, but since are talking about OKCupid, here is what I have as my "self summary". I have gotten positive responses out of it, but I assume some have ignored me for it as well. Whatever."Hello ladies. Look at the last guy you went on a date with, now back to me, now back ot him, now back to me. Sadly, he isnt me. But if you like what you see here, perhpas your last "first date" could be me. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on a date with the man who could end your need for online dating. Whats in your hand? Back at me. I have it. Its a rose and two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when you date a man and not a boy. I'm on a horse."

Not bad, though it sounds like you're pushing hard for marriage -- "last first date" "end your need for online dating" and "diamonds" all sound like too much like a guy who's hoping to find a wife. Maybe change "diamonds" to "rubies" and change at least one of the two other phrases to be something funny instead of about dating status.

 

[Bogart]

"Ice Cream Girl" not only has not responded to texts or calls, but completely removed her profile off OKCupid. 1 Brunch with drinks - $501 Dinner - $55Gas for 4 hours worth of driving - $20Learning that the women of online dating are just as much as players as the guys - Priceless

Wait, is this the one that you met on Sunday for sushi and went to the museum with, or someone else? I thought your Sunday date went well.

Sorry, different girl. I went out with ICG before Sushi Girl. Both very similar.

What's the best thing to do to a girl like a FB poke? some i don't want to message just want them to know I'm here and they can have a piece of The Major if they like.

On OKCupid, you can "wink". I'm not a big fan, since it's passive... but it might suit your needs.

 

[Major]

Pay attention to Stu.He knows stuff.

Stu is my Yoda.

Don't worry fellas. He's my #### Cheney in this operation. Got him in the bunker. I just wanted you to feel involved

I think it's funny and don't really have a problem with the imagery. It plays into what most women are looking for, but in a playful way. Fix the typos though.

EDIT: Thinking about it more, I'd change But if you like what you see here, perhpas your last "first date" could be me. to But if you play your cards right, your next date could be with me.

[Thorn]

Officially jumping back in as of today. 4 lines dropped in the water the last hour. Felt a bit rusty, but I should be back to form quickly. Going to try for 4-5 per day during lunch hours during the week. Now we play the waiting game. :tents fingers:

5 more out today. So far only 2 profile views and one response from a girl who was on my to-do list before my last relationship started, but I hadn't messaged her yet. Her response was "Thanks, but I moved out of town. Just hadn't changed my location yet." Oh well. 5 more tomorrow.

Keep pushing. It took me a couple days until I got the hang of it and now I have a few fish on the line. It's getting to the point where I have enough that if one falls off I just toss another lure back in knowing ill get another soon enough.

I seriously can't keep up. Just had ANOTHER girl email me. She younger, 21. I haven't sent out anymore in the last 3 days. I think it's mostly because my competition isn't all that great. I looked them up and most were either wearing hats, sunglasses, or mean-mugging the camera in a tank top. I just put up 3 normal nice photos with me smiling.

You mean the picture in your avatar is not you? I may have to completely re-evalute my opinion now.

This whole time I've been picturing you as the monkey wearing glasses with a flavor-saver in your avatar. It all made sense. Now I'm not so sure.

Are any of you trying this from a small town? I've thought many times about pulling the trigger on i-dating, but the odds that my date will be sisters with a co-worker or friends with an ex is quite high.

Yeah I'd say the odds of a good experience decrease significantly from being in a small town - you pretty much have to branch out to cities within a few hours drive.

So Major just sent a few messages out...the winner is probably the cute half Danish half American bird. I used to live in Copenhagen and we both have similar interests in film and music. I know once she checks my stance, she'll respond. Meanwhile, I'm just going to sit back like a shortstop and play my position.

The key is to drive 2 hours to meet some chick even after she cancels on you, then walk around town awkwardly, while texting her begging for a few minutes of her time.

[Sarnoff]

Been plugging away at 5 a day. Got a second girl message me back with a blow-off, but a solid lead on a third girl today. Her message said she "has to be up front, she's older than the age listed on her account but she prefers younger men and wanted to show up in their searches." I'm pretty sure my reply will include "Well, as along as we're being up front, I'll let you know I'm a LOT more immature than I let on."

 

[moderated]

i did a quick search online to find an opening that gets about a 50% response rate, if anyone wants to try it go ahead. I didn't even read it but fired it off to about 100 women and have a full mailbox i have to work through.

"You seem like you might be prone to getting into mischief… like the kind of girl who’d explore their parents’ forbidden attic or that old creepy

abandoned house down the street.

Pop quiz, where would you rather go exploring: a distant mountain range, a tropical paradise, a vast wilderness or the urban jungle of a foreign

city?"

Sadly, where you are probably isn't all that worse than where I am for some reason. The Cincy area seems to suck a bit for some reason. My advice to you would be to fire up 2 accounts. One for trolling around and looking through profiles (do this acct with minimal info except maybe answer questions to find matches) and then your "real" account for reaching out. This way if you stumble upon exes or people you know, they won't notice that you've been looking at their account. Doesn't mean they can't find your "real" account, but might at least provide a layer of defense

 

[bweiser]

holy crap. i signed up for one site, and i already have two women who want to move to the US and be with me ... one is 30 from england; she's indian; the other is 35 and lives in ghana. she is asian, originally from the US. holy crap. these broads are crazy.

confirmed the chick from ghana is a scammer. she just asked me to send her $100 to buy a webcam ... lol. gave me bank account info and everything. i said i'd give her $300 if she sent me naked picks of herself. she obliged. nice body. lol at her getting $300 from me, though.

Update... 23-yo blonde stalker chick "broke up" with me last night. She said that she is looking for some sort of relationship, and since I'm not she can't open herself up to any emotional stress. She likes my company and we can still hang out and be friends, but no more ####ing. That's ok by me, hoping I move into the category of late night booty call speed dial.

22-yo Filipina girl has been texting me some. Just sent me one a few minutes ago to see how I'm doing. Darn that gut and big ###...

Been texting off and on with 32-yo Brazilian. Pretty sure she's interested, just need to figure out when we can meet up again.

Started messaging with a couple more recently. Will update as the situation warrants.

Did I miss the post were WE (Yes I am living vicariously through you in this thread) had advanced to doing that?

[Zow]

Yeah Sarnoff that wasn't an I-date, ****.

Btw buckys story is totally believable. Seriously like 75% of chicks I met on any of those sites wanted to #### quickly. Idating is a much more socially acceptable and anonymous way compared to going to a bar.

A few observations from my Yahoo dating years...first, you'd be surprised how whorish many women are. They do a good job pretending to be respectable, but they want it just as much as we do and often don't need much of an excuse to indulge those needs. They will do stupid stuff like drink an extra cocktail or two and act more drunk than they are, so they can blame it on that. Secondly, the competition out there is laughable if you listen to their stories. If you have a job and a car, arrive on time, dressed appropriately, showered that day, and are reasonably sane enough to not blurt out something bizarre or inappropriate at dinner, you will get laid within the first few dates unless the girl is a Quaker. And lastly as mentioned above, we have not seen pics. The really busted ones will go straight from email to your apartment and be naked within minutes so you won't change your mind.

 

[Zow]

Exactly, mcgarnicle, exactly.

Any married folks firing up an Ashley Madison account?

 

[McGarnicle]

Also, I was in this market in the mid-late 90's, before Paris Hilton and the Kardashian twats became every tween girl's role model. Everything I hear and observe tells me the girls today are as slutty as ever. The college culture is hooking up vs. having a significant other, and these wimmins take that same ethic into adulthood. They get an apartment with a roommate, wear revealing clothes, and like to party and hook up with guys. Women are every bit as horny as men, and society no longer has any stigma against them acting on it. In fact, they relish it, feel empowered by it. The only downside is if you're an old fashioned guy and get turned off by a woman in control of her sexuality. I can see the romantic types getting crushed thinking they can sweep a girl off her feet.

Nowadays a woman's "number" can be just as impressive as any man's, because she's getting pounded by different dudes every few weeks until her 30's when she finally settles down.

You lucky dudes are out there at a pretty favorable time for banging around.

I'll say this, reading some of the stories here has made me nostalgic. I'll pass on flushing my marriage down the toilet though. Temptation is a ##### at times, but I respect my wife too much to rip her heart out and turn her life upside down because I wanted some anonymous ###.

I once set up a fake one just because I was curious. But you have to pay money to get messages and stuff, and I wasn't willing to go that far with it. From what I could tell there seemed to be a lot of single women looking for sugar daddies. Anyway, I deleted the account like a week or two after creating it so no good stories.

This also means the majority have no issues with texting some "fun" pics. At the very least, they aren't likely to protest you getting your camera phone out in the heat of the moment.I have a decent collection but really regret being such a late adopter of that technology.

Would love to see the wife's reaction to that CC charge. FTR - I am married with a 4 month old and just enjoy reading the stories in here. Don't plan on getting involved in anything, but do like the entertainment
