Internet Dating

do hipsters really internet date?

caek I know you are a scientist so perhaps you might have better luck with carbon dating instead.

^^^ internet dating strapline in the making. 'i'm more used to CARBON dating...'

OK I will steal that (thanks libcrypt!) and let you know if it works.

Do you wash the damn dishes y/n

We Kill Losers

giving this some thought. there is never anyone "in my area" tho.

I'm married to a woman I met on the internets. Also, Nerve.com is really quite useful if you just want to get laid a lot with people you never talk to again.

xpost wanna date?

gsoh?

I feel like in the area I live in now, there are probably tons of interesting & satisfactorily nerdy guys to be found on the internet, but I can't bring myself to join a site because OMG THE JUDGMENT.

maria, don't let that stop you, because in the end when you finally meet some awesome dude it will be u who has teh last laugh.

i met my bf online (not a dating site) and tons of ppl were judgmental and weirded out by the whole concept. we have known each other more than 18mo and been v v v happily living together for 4.

& as a sidenote: my friend who was most weirded out by internet relationships - her bf moved to malaysia and their relationship crumbled; doing the LDR made them realise they had no communication skills and the distance magnified all their problems.

so what are these dating sites you speak of..
I tried a few but none of them are satisfactory.
Right now I'm using OkCupid and Plentyoffish but I only email a few people (I'm so judgmental) and then there is only so many users in my area.
Maybe I can try nerve.com if it isn't a british thing.

I would never pay for a dating site like eharmony or adultfriendfinder etc.

what is plentyoffish?

one of the free ones :)

adultfriendfinder

^^^not a "dating" site by traditional definition.

lol

so did we decide that there isn't anymore dating sites to try?

that nerve.com thing is crap, you can join it but you have to pay to upgrade and have email capabilities. not many users either

an ex of mine later used salon personals, found a dude, they got married, have a six-month-old kid, all is grebt

Nobody wants to date a skinflint, dude.

Except I just clicked on the bit that said "unfit" on the site and it's basically just talking about spambots and the like. I was kind of amped for these guys to cement my self-image but I guess not this time

schtop, thish plenty offish site ish not ready for the Championsh League or UEFA cup 2008/9

Just got offish

genius username sir

^^^ THIS

Despite having made plenty of friends online (not on dating sites) I was a bit weirded out by the judgMENTAL lunacy of online dating. But once you get over that and realise everyone's in the same boat, it becomes much easier and even fun - and an incredible boost to the self-esteem (this fillip cannot be stressed enough).

I found the simplest way to deal with it was to ignore the whole "our computer has decided these people are PERFECT for you, based on a bunch of shallow bullshit you filled in very quickly" and just check out who's online at the same time as you - in other words, treat it exactly like walking into the pub and looking around to see who's cute :-)

am i the only one reading that as "plenty offish"?

i thought it an odd name... it only now occurred to me that it is supposed to be plenty of fish!

i want to know if caek's carbon dating joek worked or not

something tells me that i would never meet the kind of guy i like on a dating site

You won't even sleep with hipster!

AND..?
