Do the poll. Your 7 VS the scale's example 7. Science will determine the outcome. Need to be near tied for you to be on point. It won't be close though, I'd say more than 2/3rds go to the scale's example 7.

That 7 girl would be among the hottest girls at any office where I've worked or apartment where I've lived. I can recall a handful of equal hotness, maybe 2 or 3 hotter.
That said, it's difficult to do a direct comparison with Offdee's girl since there is probably a 10 year age difference. Maybe you could say she's a 7 for her age?

Just havin' a little fun GB. If you put those two out there and let me choose I'd also take the scale example. The thing is it's not a head to head comparison when you rate...if that was the case the scale would be 1 to 1,000,000+. The bucket description is more important than a picture comparison. Is v.1 "fairly attractive with flaws" (6) or "cute" (7). My opinion is she's cute...nothing over the top special by any means, I agree.
Anyways, this discussion isn't why we're here, so apologize for taking it down that path. More dating hijinx stories!

Girl on the right looks like an easy 7.
The scale is fine, but it can't account for personal bias. Just like guys claiming to be 1" taller, **** half inch longer, the girls we date will be bumped up .5-1 point because unlike a picture of a 7 in a magazine, these 7evens are real and they let us pet them.

I think I'd rate any girl willing to go down on me higher. It'd just be unavoidable bias.

Yep. But if the body is alright she's still a 7. Droopy neck but she looks 28-30. Girl on the left can't be a day less than 42.

I think the chick on the right actually looks better than the one on the left (maybe a 7.5). Chick on the right might be naturally more beautiful. I get the feeling the chick on the left needs a lot of makeup. And her dye job isn't very good.
offdee
Footballguy
Interesting. Girl on the left is 31. I'm not seeing the major age difference that you're seeing or how the one on the right is better looking, but whatever...different strokes She's long gone from the rotation so I could care less.

Well the girl on the left has dyed hair, flashy lipstick, and teeth that can blind a man. Obviously she takes care of herself and puts time into looking good. But I can clearly see crows feet in spite of what I assume were her best efforts to hide them. That is what made me think she had to be 40+. Were you ever able to authenticate the age 31 through passport, high school yearbook?
offdee
Footballguy
No authentication process, just took her word for it...didn't really care (I'm 37). You could tell she has seen her share of sun over her lifetime and you are correct that it was starting to show.

She either lied about her age or lived a hard 31 years Tara Reid style IMO

I guess I'll give this thread a bump.
Tinder just came out with the Android version a couple weeks ago, it's a great time waster actually. Matched up with this cute blonde girl, I'd say a 7. Her pictures looked like it could go either way though so I was skeptical, told her we should get a drink last night so we did. Turns out she looked just like the pictures. Really cool chick, we talked about sports most of the time. It was late and we both had to work so I dropped her off at her place and ended with a kiss. She was really going at it but I made sure that I was the one to cut it off. Fully expect to seal the deal next time we see each other.

Garage Girl update (my history of her quoted above)
As noted, just wrote her off a couple weeks ago. No contact whatsoever.
This past Saturday night was out on the town with a buddy. 12:13 am get a text...
- GG: Hey, I know it's late but just seeing if you're out. I'm in your neighborhood.
- offdee: At (bar location). Get here, I need a sexy thing on my arm.
- GG: OK finishing my drink will be there in a little bit.
8:30 am she was leaving my place. Unfortunately very meh bedroom skills. No communication from either of us since, and next contact won't be coming from me. This example is the blueprint on how most hot girls have no idea how to handle it when a guy makes it clear they no longer want to pay attention. Quickly becomes a challenge and is exciting for them. Really wasn't trying to game at all...just wasn't feeling much chemistry and didn't feel like making any more effort. Inadvertantly turned into :goggles:

I thought maybe it was an insider tip that only a expert in the field would know. Like maybe strawberries have a special affinity with the female apparatus. It kind of makes sense actually.beavers said:

It's definitely a nice development that the stigma about that has eroded to a large degree over the past couple of decades. Now we can all be whores without those annoying double standards.beavers said:Ha, not with strawberries but I do consider myself an expertIn fact, I've been told that I'm a pretty damn good ####.
By the way, don't believe the crap that women have no sex drive. Those who have been married for a long time, do something different. Most women love sex, including me (and my current idate). Which = awesome.

I'm just not meeting the type of women I want to meet. It's better with eH, but still not great. I want to find someone smart, interesting and attractive. It's easy to find a chick with one of those qualities, but a wasteland for chicks with ALL of those qualities.
Dating in general in your mid/late 30s just sort of sucks. There is a reason why these chicks are still single.

Could not agree more with everything you just said! Another problem is that you see all the same profiles every time you login. There aren't a whole lot of new ones signing up daily. Take a few weeks/months off and they all look new again.
I'm new to eh. Is it the norm to be going through the staged communication sequence rather than just skipping to email? The girls that have contacted me all go through it, but it just seems to be a waste of time, maybe except for the open ended questions.
Also, a more general question regarding online dating for guys: is it safe to assume that expectations have to go far down in comparison to what a guy's expectations are in getting a date through real world interactions? The average girl I am getting dates with via online sites is about 1-2 points lower than what I am used to in the real world. The interesting thing is that with the former, though, it's pretty obvious to me during the date that the ball is usually in my court whereas with the latter it's 50/50. Or am I doing the online thing wrong?
eta: FWIW I didn't just put my profile together in 5 minutes.

i've been busy slaying real world arss...what's going on in the iDating scene? Best bang for you buck on a pay site or is OKC the best option if you're not active? Thinking about adding a girl to the bench but I don't deal with dumb, uneducated hoes. I like offdee 9s with a job and brains.

Ya, I think most eH chicks prefer going through the stages... once you get through the initial few weeks and have a "pipeline" developed, the stages are actually kind of nice. It lets you move relatively quickly with some chicks while still allowing you to slow play other chicks for your holding pattern. And the intended benefit of actually getting to know each other a little better does actually pay off... first dates tend to be a lot easier because you already have some background established.Popinski said:
As for the quality of women on eH vs. real life... I think it all depends on where you live and the type of women you normally look to meet.

I've found that eh can be hit or miss. You can go a week without finding someone hot and that you are excited about, but then you might get 3 or 4 in one day. This is good and bad. The good is that it gives you a break so you don't get burned out and you eventually have some that you are interested in and can focus on. I remember my first 10 days or so on the site and I thought it was a complete waste of time and the girls were not at all what I was looking for. At the two week mark or so hotter chicks started coming in. Also, I've noticed if you tweak your profile a bit (income, politics, kids/no kids, etc) it opens up more options for matches if you are not getting what you want. You can always change your profile back later if it doesn't work. But I would definitely mix it up if you are not getting the results you like. Or if you've only been on a week or so I'd be patient. It got better for me at least.Popinski said:
Also, I think I posted this earlier, but I've found some girls are better at magically working the photos than others. Some girls end up being a disappointment in person and others end up being a surprise. I'd guess the girls that have been doing the online thing longer have figured out some photography or editing tricks that work in their favor in getting dates, but do not work in their favor in getting into relationships.
I've met some quality girls on there in two months. There have only been a couple where I was like "WTF" upon meeting them.
One other thing, some of the best advice in the thread I think came from offdee who said make sure the first meeting is only for a drink or two. This allows a lot of flexibility (to get out if necessary) and allows you to meet a lot more people. Dropping $100 every time you meet someone new is not logical and not a recipe for success.

I agree with everything you said, but try to remember there is a reason you are on these sites as well...maybe that, "there's a reason why these chicks are single" frame of mind is portrayed in your communications and a subconscious block? Yeah, you've got to weed through the crazies and the trash..some people would be SOL without iDating and they all seem to have a flaw you can pinpoint as to why they are online...but women are saying the same thing about us too and if you think you're a good catch then there's got to be others out there.
You list smart and interesting as your first two qualities, but most people look for physical attraction first...maybe you need to be a little less picky about the people you chose to talk to and go with the mantra that some people just aren't photogenic. I certainly am not photogenic, and even though my wife is, she chose not to put the most flattering of pics on her profile because she was tired of dating guys that didn't bother reading her profile and only cared about looks.

Oh, of course... I'm sure most chicks say "there's a reason why he's single" in re me.
With respect to attractiveness, I'm not that fussy in terms of insisting on chicks having a supermodel face and body. So I'm definitely willing to cast a wider net there, but I'm still not seeing the type of women that I want. And, as a result, I'm just getting more and more closed to dating at the moment.
ETA: One big element that I forgot to mention is that I am a single father (partial custody) which I know turns a lot of chicks off for a host of reasons. So I'm already dealing with a smaller potential dating pool to start with.

Hope it did't sound like I was calling you out, but some people really need it. I've got friends who show me women's profiles every time I see them because they can't decide if they should contact them or respond to them because in one pic she looks hot but in another she looks average. These are guys that want to get married and have kids. I've also got a female friend who stopped dating online because too many guys told her she looked better in photos than in person.
ETA - I thought it sucked always being told I looked way better in person than photos...but man, I can't imagine it being the other way!

back when CL first started heating up in NYC, I had a friend that would troll the casual encounters section and occasionally post. He'd get a lot of crazy girls that wanted to 'party'. It was different back then though. Now, I'd say most of the people on there are dudes, cops or pimps.

So, about a year ago, I was dating this girl, Melissa. Great girl. Lots of fun. We'd been dating for about six months, and I'd met a lot of her friends. Her best friend was this chick named Rachel who she's known since kindergarten and still sees every weekend. Nice girl. But things between me & Melissa didn't work out, we both had different long-term goals. Fine.
In the year since we've ended it, I'd gone out with two other girls I met on an idating site. Both relationships lasted a few months but ultimately didn't end up going anywhere. So I started dipping my toes back into the pool.
Then, like 3 weeks ago, Melissa texts me out of the blue. Wants to catch up. We meet for a drink a few nights later, end up going to a movie the next weekend, and things start progressing pretty well..... Just short of the full
But I've still got my iDating account, and start talking with this new girl. Andrea. We met for the first time last week for a quick drink after work. Nice girl, smart, funny. But she says, "You look familiar, we may have met sometime..." I honestly don't recognize her. So, no warning bells went off.
Tonight we met up for a date. Went to a dive bar for trivia night. Just before the game starts, before I get a chance to get a beer in me, she says "Oh, by the way, I figured out where I recognized you from. Rachel's birthday party like a year-and-a-half ago" (Melissa, the nearly girl's best friend from kindergarten).
Los Angeles is a small town I guess...
