Yahoo Personals

So I have one good story and one bad story about internet dating.

The Good,

My friend Craig called me last night, he's getting engaged to a girl he met on the internet 2 years ago. Turns out Yahoo worked for him. He was really apprehensive about using the internet (felt like a loser) but he finally took my advice and whammo now he's gonna be married happily ever after.


The Bad,

My friend Steve called me the last saturday in a panic. Turned out the girl in the 'pic' was about +150lbs in reality. I pick up my cell phone from a phone number I did not recognize it was him, on the phone at the restaurant 'Help she's a butter troll' was all he could say. He didn't even go back to the table. I don't hold him responsible either. If you going to take a pic of you when you were 18 and put it up as 'yourself, currently' then why the hell should you be surprised when your internet date runs for the hills. Why do girls do that?

Anyways, what's the general opinion on internet dating around here?

i would've done the same thing...


i don't see anything wrong with meeting people on the net i guess but it's shit like that that makes me think in some cases it could be a huge waste of time. plus i hate typing; i do it enough posting here...

i dont do internet dating.. well if i were single I wouldnt. the way i see it, if the person is really good looking and seems like a great person,

why the hell are they on the internet?

Jen has met a few guys from the internet, and they were asshole nutjobs who ruined it for the good guys for her.

I dont get girls who do that either(with the pics). Ill send my pic, even if im not model material. its who i am, i deal with it.

None of us at ACL I hope

Net dating can't be all that bad...I am just about ready to give it a go myself...lol I am getting sick of just hanging with the roomates and shit...and now with my best friend (little brother) gone for two years...I need someone more than ever...he has not even left yet, but I saw him for the last time last night, since I have class today (test, otherwise I would skip) and I'm already all torn up inside.

Only 731 more days to go He had to bo gone during a fucking leap year huh? [/hijackrant]

I hate people who fuck wit their pics...it's just not right...

Only if she's super fine... otherwise I'd feel like too much of a loser...

"Where'd you meet your girlfriend?"
"Online!"
"Uhh... oh... that's... nice..."

I do.

You do too. Otherwise you'd wear dirty clothes, you wouldn't cut your hair, you'd never bathe... oh wait, maybe you don't care

But you see my point

I bathe, do my hair and the rest for myself...sure everyone is in a situation to impress the opposite sex...but you shouldnt care where you met some girl that you like....

I disagree here, I have never dated a girl I met on the net - but I would

In all honesty, I have dated almost all of my female friends - a bit incestuous, but friends make the best lovers usually ...BUT - Sometimes meeting someone you dont have any connection with can open up many other doors...Even if that one person doesn't work out - you still have a new group of friends that, that person may have introduced you to.

Now that Rachael has already givven the 411 on me...(lol, j/k)

No, none of you on A-CL! In fact, the people I have been talking to on ACL are some of the coolest people I've ever met.

I used to be real shy and wouldn't actually try and meet people irl, so the net was like, a way I could open up. Like she said, met a bunch of fuckwits.

Now I got a life (yes, I freely admit I used to have NO life), and I've been trying to be more outgoing irl. I'd still meet someone off the net because imo, it's like meeting someone for a blind date irl. I know some people might not agree, but that's my $.02

I have met a bunch of guys off the internet, but none w/ romantic intentions, they just seemed like cool guys. I'm friends w/ alot of them still and A LOT of them from the CL board

I have never met someone for the sole purpose of hooking up though.
