Finding out that this thread had 3 pages I hadn't read yet was like Christmas. :thumbup:
:lmao: Just making my way through this now... :lmao: in here.If any of the guys would ever like a female opinion of what you're writing or anything before you post an ad or send an e-mail, let me know.For the separated guys, I would strongly recommend being honest about your status. The girls will find out at some point, and not only will you lose any shot with the ones who wouldn't have dated you anyway because you're separated, but due to the lying you'll also lose most of the ones who would have been willing to overlook it.Being separated > lying

I'm not sure this is the #1 selling point for these sites, but it's definitely in the top 5...

- Being able to flirt at work, with no fear of actually ending up dating someone you work with. :2cents:

I'm thinking I go this route and then when the divorce is final, if I still haven't found WOVE (god, I sound like Woz) I'll change my profile.........

what if you're able to flirt at work (with the girl in your semi-private office none the less), but THEN you end up banging her..........and KEEP working in the same office with her? Does that count as dating? Am I doomed from the online thing? YES she was 14 years my junior and NO she wasn't what led to the divorce. YES I really miss hitting that..............see :e: small T*tt**s thread :pickle:

I may take you up on this... in your opinion, what kind of opening e-mail would you like to see from a guy? I gotta admit the initial e-mail is the only one I'm struggling with. I feel completely confident on any later e-mails, but I know the initial one is most crucial. I sent some last night where I comment on how I haven't actually met a girl in my new area with all her teeth so I'm giving the online thing a shot and so far one thought it was funny and another hinted that she was kind of offended by that.

On the POF forums...you can post your profile. People log in and give you feedback.

:hot: I think it's kind of funny, too, but you have to be careful not to say anything that sounds like a dig on other girls. Guys sometimes think a girl will eat it up if they're dissing the other girls, but really it just makes you seem mean (possibly cocky) and less appealing. Remember as always that confidence >>>>>>> cockiness.As for the first e-mail, definitely make it short and light, witty, and make sure to point out something that you liked about her profile OTHER THAN her picture. You can say a little bit about yourself, but don't go into much detail. Feel free to PM me (or post here) anything you've written, and I'd be happy to take a look. :pickle:

Just noticed...the other issue with this is that it sounds like you're making an excuse for being on-line--no need to do that. They're on-line, too, and as many people have pointed out, there's just nothing wrong with it, so starting by sounding like you're not comfortable with it isn't the best approach. Not a criticism...just a thought.

:lmao:There's also actually something to this. There is a justified fear of getting carried away with the rebound relationship. I read somewhere that marrying the person you date predivorce ends in another divorce over 80% of the time. This may lead some to sabotage things from the start. Just a theory... :yes:
 
I remember when HotorNot.com and a couple sites like that first popped up and how addictive they were then. I haven't been on them for a few years (mostly because I was 14 when I saw them first and just liked looking of pictures of hot girls). I can only imagine how much worse they've gotten. I agree with some of the younger guys here. The is definitely a negative stigma of being a younger person and using an online dating site.

This thread is way entertaining.

 
YahtzeeMilker's On-line dating tips:

Here were my rules, based on past experience.

1. Be Not Ugly.

2. Do not try and impress me with your "guns". Both kinds...arm muscles and/or actual guns.

3. Do not mention your Christian lifestyle, beyond the dropdown of religions you were forced to choose. Even as a half-assed Christian, this scared me.

4. Spelling. Grammar.

5. Be funny. Be witty.

6. Do not ask me if I want to do something outdoorsy for our first date, such as hiking, skiing, kayaking, etc. That makes for a really long day with minimal escape routes.

7. Do not ask me if you can come upstairs when the date is over. Unless I invite you, (which, if you had to ask me, already would have happened had I been planning on it) you can't.

8. Do not order three shots with dinner. While I appreciate a good shot party every now and then, the first half hour of trying to get to know you is not the time. It's awkward.

9. No air guitar.

10. Please don't say "I feel like I've known you my entire life" before the appetizer comes.

11. If I cancel on you at the last minute, do not change your profile to read "I don't want a chick that cancels on me at the last minute, I have feelings too", you whiny #####.

12. Do not ask me if you can put your weed in my purse before we get carded going into a club.

13. Don't call three times the next day. If you have to leave a voicemail, wait until I call you back before you leave another one. Or four.

14. Do not volunteer the information without being asked that you have 6 dates from the same dating service lined up this week and tell me that I'd "better be good".
These are obvious to even the most Woz among us.

Didn't even crack a smile, eh? I thought there was a bit of comedy in there.

I thought the weed one was mildly humorous :shrug:

Apparently air guitar guy and 3 shots guy are the same guy. Took 3 shots during dinner, went to the jukebox, played some monster ballads and air guitared up a storm.Weed guy saw security at the door and asked if she'd put in her purse. She said no, so he ran 8 blocks to stash it in his vehicle and then came back. Apparently he got it for "after dinner". :lol:
 
Got my first date... started a new thread so we can have a clean tally

ETA: Bankerguy if you want to transfer your story over there that'd be great

Well, just got my first date so I figure I better kick off this new thread. I'd provide a link to the original thread entitled "match.com" but I'm lazy. But anyways, I'll give the info in what seems to be the best formula.

Date: Meet for drinks after work.

Who: 23 year old counselor. Normally I plan to post her picture here but I'm a bit nervous because she's the sister of one of the lawyers in my office and this could be a professional disaster if this is ever found. She's 5'9" athletic body, brunette (didn't post a full body pic so I'm nervous about that).

How it came about: She contacted me first. Connection was that we were both new in the area. She then asked where I worked and mentioned that she had a sister who was an attorney. Oddly enough she happened to be in my office so that was the conversation starter. After a couple e-mails stemming from last night into today, I casually dropped in that I always need a drink after work because my clients lie to me all day. She replies back with "so you're asking me out, love to," gave me her number, and then raved about how her sister gave her good feedback on me and said she hoped I would ask her out. I'm thinking meeting for drinks and appetizers at a martini bar next to my office on Thurs (after I help her sister with work stuff) is the best bet.

Concerns:

- great looking face, but no full body pic (her sister isn't exactly skinny minny)

- she's the sister of my co-worker. I screw up my first "online" date, it may look bad for me professionally

- her eagerness to get together - this may be a good thing, but i didn't realize it happens this fast

Obviously will post updates after the date

I wouldn't sweat the eagerness, the fact that her sister knows you probably put her at ease, especially if she's new on the scene. It's a solid ice breaker too so it should make things easier. This is a good situation for a first for both parties. :blackdot:

Dating a co-worker's sister? Knowing your track record, this could turn into a disaster of epic proportions that even I may not wish on you.

Hey, you know how you hiring attorneys are. He ####s up with the sister and is like a major creep with her, his chances of getting hired after graduation by this firm (or is it PD's office?) will be iffy. Coming from Hamline, he doesn’t need any more strikes against him.

The scary thing is I've been contacted by several of the higher paying firms in this area too. That said, the law community in this town/county is pretty tight-knit. I gotta handle this well.ETA: Or Otis could always offer me a job already. :thumbup:

Just joined match... the quality definitely gets better when you join. :popcorn:

I'm doing my best not to e-mail every hot chick I see at once before my profile gets tweaked and I'm all tappe out.

BTW, gonna wait on AMBO until bankerguy tweaks my stuff :cry:

 
Newbie question...

I'm clueless when it comes to women's weights, since I've gotten used to 95-105lbs at 5'6" being normal. How does 5'8" 134 rate? Very tough to tell from the pic...

Should be solid. I think 140 would be average.

Edit: Confirmed - http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/primry/life15.htm
:shrug: Per that, she's underweight for a medium-framed girl. That's a good chart.
Even if she's lying and shaving off 10 lbs (and let's be honest, she probably is) its still all good.

Fine, maybe a little baby fat but not much :bow:

Curvy/chubby, not disgustingly obese.
Are you two crazy? Fat? Chubby? Do you like to see their ribs poking through the skin? :thumbup:

To be fair, I don't think "maybe a little baby fat" can be translated as "she's fat".
