LinkedIn? So it's exclusively for headhunters, insurance salespeople, and motivational speakers who were already looking online for their next paycheck?
macross87:Butterflew: Noobs.. I'm on a tinder date right now.
A one night stand is a date now?
She posted on Fark to appear busy with her phone. She will then explain to her date that her sister's car broke down, and she apologizes for leaving so abruptly, but she simply must go. She will then dodge any further communications for the next week while the bore/ creep/ person with wildly innacurate profile picture clues in and moves on.
Have none of you been on wildly disappointing first dates or something?
Nana's Vibrator:Ladies, if you're anything like me, you're mortified when you do the walk of shame and there's no doorman to provide his indignant snert as he hails my cab. With state school Tinder boys you get Applebee's and a cemented eye. Here at Classy Gold diggers, swipe right into a second home and never be eiffel towered by the poors again.
Walk of shame? More like a damn strut... Oontz, oontz, oontz, got got laid, oontz oontz, only gawd, oontz oontz, can judge me, oontz oontz.......all the way home.
CruJones:Who LinkedIn-stalks a date? I never even considered that.
I fully admit that I have looked up my dates on Facebook before. If the photo on your Facebook page doesn't look even vaguely similar to the one you've provided me, I will call you out on it. Or, far more likely, I will just stop talking to you.
Also: What a person posts (or if they block random people from seeing it through the magic of privacy settings) can tell you a lot. Boyfriend has a page, but doesn't do Facebook--means he's probably smarter than me.

And he's right up theirs, judging from the article: "These people are going after their dreams. They're just interesting, ambitious, and doing something they're excited about."
From the article: over 20,000 matches so far and 19 couples made. Seriously? That's less than one actual connection made for every 1000 possible couplings. 0.1% is a pretty awful metric. I wonder how the other dating sites compare?
Well, I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style. Yeah, my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild. Mom and Dad had a plan for me, It was debutantes and er-symphonies, But I like my music hot and like my women wild.
Yeah, an' I like my women just a little on the trashy side, When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed. Too much lipstick an' er too much rouge, Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused. An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side.
If you are ever on a date and it is going bad and you want to end it without being mean, then have fun! I was on a date once, movie and dinner, and after the movie I knew there would not be a second date (my choice, not hers), so I decided to have some fun. During the meal I kept reaching over and rearranging her utensils and glass so that everything was in neat parallel lines, positioned at right angles, and was a mirror opposite of my place setting. And, I made it look like I was not aware that I was doing it. I never looked at, for example, where she set her glass down. I just reached out and moved it over an inch or so, all the while looking right at her and keeping the conversation going. By the time the main course was over she skipped dessert and left. I like to think that she was able to tell some great stories about that date! I mean, she was a nice enough person and I meant her no ill-will, but I had no desire for a second date and decided to have some fun.
I still carry the wounds from that date...chucklehead!
bmwericus:There's a sucker born every minute they say.
I have a hard time imagining how this works out well, but at my age, I can't even figure out what tinder is, except the stuff I start my wood burning stove with every day.
Does on-line dating really work?
Depends. I just started about three weeks ago. Match and then last night (because on another thread here yesterday someone mentioned OKCupid was decent). So here is how its going so far, did not post any pics on Match but I did explain why and invited them to ask for them. Two people did and then they started chatting with me. One guy was (IMO) just not ready to meet anyone yet. The other guy was very funny, smart and attractive yet when we met? I didn't feel any spark.
Fast forward to last night, I decide to put a profile up on OKCupid. It was my understanding that nobody could see my profile until I completely finished it and posted at least one photo? I was having some technical difficulties last night getting my profile up (mainly the technicality was that I kept running out of liquid courage and would have to haul my butt out to the beer fridge for another bottle). At any rate as I am putting my profile together I receive eight messages. Whoa gentlemen I'm not even halfway through posting and the pics aren't even there yet! Around 10ish last night I managed to finish the whole profile( and a six pack of longnecks) and go to bed. I didn't log out so this morning I wake up grab a cup of coffee and see across the kitchen that there are now 37 messages on OKCupid.
I feel like chum in a tank of very hungry underfed sharks. So no I really don't think any of these sites are worthy. One thing I happen to notice, (I'm sure the women do this too) the men lie about their age yet are dumb enough to post a recent pic which clearly tells me either your lying or you have done a long hard stint in prison that has made you look a good twenty years older than you claim to be. Come to think of it all my guy friends are really looking better and better....
This system is begging to be subverted. Seriously, I could do it myself as an experienced 40-something that looks like a teen and I don't think I'm unique in this respect. The Eloi have risen!
