Good luck!

I've always had luck on online dating sites. But, I am never looking for mr. or ms. right. I am always looking for mr. or ms. good ****ing lay.

Best of luck to you.

I don't date. At all. I work too much and when I get done with work the last thing I want to deal with a significant other. It's not that I'm heartless or anything. It's just that after working all day I just want to go home and chill out in peace and quiet.

I also rather enjoy being single. I like doing what I want to do without having to make convoluted plans and schedules to accommodate someone else. I also enjoy not going to things I don't want to go to just because I'm dating someone.

And, if I were ever in the need for some companionship, I honestly would just get an escort and go out with her for an evening. That way I would be more inclined to have a good time than deal with any awkwardness of going on a date with someone. It would also help me avoid having to deal with someone with a nasty attitude.

But, then again, I'm just a hopeless romantic...

not a problem if you live in one of these states:

Cousin marriage legal

Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia

and you can marry your first cousin in these states:

Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Utah, Wisconsin

and most states will recognize a marriage between cousins that took place in a state where that is legal.

as my old gaffer always used to say: "cousins make dozens" and "closer kin, deeper in" :shock:

I tried both match.com and eHarmony.com with no positive results. Then again, I am fat, lazy and I smoke.

I did have a match on eHarmony that resulted in our having a free-form discussion and we decided to meet for dinner...Since it had been 9 years since I had had a date! I decided to get her some flowers. Well...when I gave them to her, she actually frowned, hesitated a sec and said "do you always give flowers on your first date". Things went downhill from there. She is actually into politics and so she spent all of dinner talking about how wonderful Bill O'Reilly is... I am kind conservative on some issues, but COME ON! We did not pursue a second date. :)

Reefedjib, I've seen your pic from 20 years ago, and you were a hot looking man. If you're fat and feeling unattractive right now, do something about it. Yep you're older now, but you're not 80. You were a handsome man, and there's no reason you cannot be handsome again. You'll never look 22 again, but you have the bones to be a handsome 40+ year old. Get your butt up and get moving. Chicks LOVE men in their 40's. Capitalize on that while you still can. Lose some weight and shave that messy beard.

Good luck GND! If you'd be willing to wait until Reef loses weight, he's gonna be a hottie. :)

See, there's an idea.
If I were single, I'd rather date someone I'd known for years on a message board than somebody I'd just met on a dating site.
I'd know the message-board person a lot better, and if they turned out to be psycho and murdered me, you'd all be witnesses.
There have been love-matches made on DP before.

The frustrating thing for me is that I reached out to contact many, many women on the dating site (eHarmony in particular), like 100s, and I only got 2 that reached the stage of chatting/emailing each other. I must have had a truly dreadful profile to keep women from even contacting me and "checking the waters". I got tired of putting good money after bad.

What is the male equivalent of a convent?

You just gave me an idea for a Tavern thread. :thumbs:
 
 
Next time I sign up for one of those sites Im going to say I hate kids, Im on the internet most of the day, my photo is from 10 years ago and my STDs are in remission :thumbs: so if I pay for dinner its OK to have sex just so as long as you are on top. :lol:

I can't tell you how relieved I was to see Kansas was NOT on those lists! haha

FYI... there are some real tweakers on match.com - at least that I've run across so far. :shock:
