Online Dating Advice?

Posted by Cliff on from the 'net-affairs-ain't-all-that-bad-anymore-are-they dept.

frankgod asks: "I'm a 25/M/US geek who managed to get through school with my singleness intact. I plan on staying single for a while into the future, but I am considering online dating in addition to other methods of meeting local women for casual dating. Any advice on particular sites and tweaking profiles or search results? I've looked at eHarmony , Lavalife (sparse local results) and Match.com (seems to be best of the bunch.)"

    I'm a loser and understand that i will not end up with anyone, but maybe someone will randomly click on my name without reading my blurb and i wil talk to them once or twice or go out with them once and they will not like me so i am resigned to being single.

    One of my friends was just married to a woman that he met on JDate.com

    Quote: "Highly recommended."

    Unfortunately, I don't have any more to add to the anecdote. Happily, I'm married so I don't have to use it :P

    Also, don't rule out Friendster.

    God, what a pathetic ask-slashdot.

    "Hi, I'm really desperate to not be alone. Are you? Let's meet up!"

    All this social networking online stuff is just so fucking sad. I mean, do you really want to hook up with some chick who is such a loser that she spends her time online and has to resort to internet ads to get laid or get a date?!

    I mean, aside from the fact that this guy is probably a total pussy and would probably lay out cash for a date (remember Tom's rules - $40 max, $0 is optimal, no more dates if you're not laid by the third).

    If a woman isn't a total dog, she's going to be able to hook up with people every day. Really pretty girls get hit on left and right - at work, the 7-11, the mall, going to a movie. They can't step outside the house without being hit on if they're relatively young (under 30) and relatively cute.

    Anyone have any experience (good/bad) with adultfriendfinder.com?

    You will never in your life be in a situation like college again. Thousands of hot, single, young, intelligent women to meet and wade through.

    I suggest going back to grad school to fix your error. The older you get the more you'll realize this is true. Unless you're fugly then don't bother. Why do you think most divorced men in their 30's wind up marrying some dog as ugly woman? That is the crop they are harvesting (haven't used a farming reference in a while). Unfortunately the crop is past its prime.
