I can attest that I literally ridiculed people for e-dating until i got to where you are. I was tired of meting women who had no interest other than what was on Entertainment Tonight or People magazine. I tried Eharmony and met a couple on there. Then I met my current GF there and I literally could not believe there was someone out there who was as compatible as we are. Both MBAs hers a double so we have that high level conversation we need and similar family of orgin backgrounds. Trust me the passion will slowly go away and if there isnt anything else there in terms of friendship and conversation, its over and get old quick for me. I have had literally more women than a man should be allowed to have so it isnt lack of choices that sent me there. It simply cuts down on the BS so you can get to know one another. If you want a relationship go for it but if you are just looking for someone to bang then I would stick to the bars. This is coming from a 35 yo never married reformed stupid chick magnet:fuck-you:

Yea I got a bad reputation around here for running through them. I can still find the same old junk just looking for hopefully a longlasting functional relationship.

IMO, if you're worried about a cost of $100 for dating, you don't have much of a future with women at all.
Compare that to the cost of a few dates or in comparison to what you spent on your 4x4 "hobby". Chump change.

I think for most people, it isn't the dropping a $100+ that bothers them, but not knowing if they will actually meet somebody let alone somebody that is quality. People feel they have no control over a situation. Most of us would gladly spend 100x $100 if we knew it would produce that one special somebody. However, this day in age most people don't want to throw $100 out there to hopefully get what they want if anything at all.

Basically, you wouldn't go out to a restaurant, pay the server for your meal and tip them 20% prior to getting anything and then have him tell you that he will see if he can find you something to eat. Sure, there is a good chance he will find you a meal, but will it be what you want to eat?

It's what they seem to do best.. well, OK.. third best. But I felt that calling them shit-cannon, crybaby snot-factories was kinda harsh, so I toned it down... :flipoff2:

LOL, nice try, but women are funny that way.

I am indifferent on having kids, but now that I am 35, I am getting to the point where I don't want want them. Basically, I don't want to be shoving some kid through college when I 60 something (my luck, it would be like my youngest sister who is now going to med school and my dad is about to be 66 lol).

However, I do actually like kids so I am not opposed to dating somebody with them as long as they were not a damn baby factory and they are able to support them decently. In fact, a girl with a 5 year old son that I could put on a dirt bike would be grand.:lol:
 
met my wife on match. Be married 3 years June 10th. I met her while she was living in Plano, Tx

I'll summarize online dating... You get out of it what you put into it....

You can't be afraid to ask questions. (I had a big list 20+) Even the ones that need to be asked. If people don't/won't answer them then they aren't ready.. Keep in mind that not everyone on there is at the same point in their life as you and are even ready to be 'dating'. (Are you??) There are tons of lairs and cheats on there. So take it all with a grain of salt. Good Luck

I guess I would do terrible then If I made a profile :driver::lol:


Wanted: Female who is attracted to Bogger Tracks, tractor tires, fohawks, and most importantly Z71's :smokin:

Well, there is a difference.

It is one thing for you to post a picture of you bogging in a in a z71 with big tractor tires while sporting a fohawk. As this is an activity you do and describes something about you. Same as if you had a picture of you mountain climbing or sky diving. The z71 is just your tool of the trade.

Basically, if you drive a BMW and post a picture of yourself next to it, you are a pretentious prick. If you race BMW's and take a post picture of yourself running laps at a track, you might still be a pretentious prick, but you don't come across as one.

Most women don't care what you have, but they do care about what you are in to. I think it is because they want to know all the cool things they can take away from you.:lol:
 
I used it (or something like it) about 5 years back , I met alot of wierd guys (I am sure they thought the same about me) hell, I think I met my best friend....(who was on it for the same reason as a me.. a joke) and ended up falling in love with his best friend (aka ratbone) so what the hell, go for it! lol

Free service over paid service shows who is intrested, and those just looking to shack up or cheat.
 
thanks for all the input
 
my uncle met his current wife on eharmany. my dad and other uncles give him a lot of shit for it tho. lol
 
maybe I should include.....girl who sits home and gets drunk listening to neil young...cause thats what I'm doing right now.
 
funny all you dudes are dead on.
I didn't get on match but did meet my exGF on facebook via an application. it was cool as fuck but she turned out a little nutty. still texting me. Then I dropped coin on one of the other datin sites. I figure the cost is less than a trip to the bar. so what the hell...

met a cool chic an yall are right a few phone calls and IM's will knock out the broads you don't want. Plus its been said before, not everyone is in the same place as you are but you just might find them if "you get what you put into it".

I say internet dating works and yeah I was kinda shy about doing it but fuck a bar. You find the same kinds of women at the same kinds of places. I'll tell you where I have had the best luck: grocery stores and gas stations. That's if you're not afraid to talk. I told my friend the same thing, you keep going to the same places; you find the same kinds of women.

Most women will assume you have money either way. The thing is, there's really a 1-in-3 shot that you do.. Here's why:

1: He does have money, and drives the BMW because you like it. (AKA Financially responsible)
2: Don't have money, and are in debt over your eyeballs. (AKA "'hood rich")
3: Did have money.. but now you race... and you're perpetually broke.

:D
