		<description>LOL! Nicky! I think I met that guy too! Talked about himself so incessantly I couldn&#039;t even find a way to give him an uhuh...to show I was still paying attention. Oh and that cheap ass tequila gave me a migraine. I actually enjoy the online dating thing...I still look at it as window shopping for men. I have to agree that you&#039;ll get a better idea of who I am and what I do from the pics on the MySpace than the ones on match...</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t really have a very good opinion about the typical &quot;dating sites&quot;. In my experience, there are a lot of weird people on it, that are either ugly, frustrated or have some other kind of disorder. At least in my country, the only ones using dating sites are desperate losers. Which of course does not mean that there aren&#039;t any cool people on these sites, I only say that they are rare.

I&#039;ve seen it to be much more productive to use social networking sites like facebook or myspace. These sites usually let you be much more creative in designing your profile, and you don&#039;t come across as needy and desperate if you put up your profile there. It allows you to create attraction &quot;under the radar&quot; and get to know normal, cool people.

What do you guys think is better in your experience - social networking or dating sites?</description>

		<description>LOL Nicky,

As funny as it sounds, you may have met a guy who delved himself a little bit in the Pickup Artist (PUA) Community but doesn&#039;t know how to apply their teachings properly.  

The guy talked a lot about himself because he&#039;s trying to demonstrate higher value (DHV).  He&#039;s trying to show to you how interesting and cool he is in hopes that you will like him and want to hang out with him.  They believe that by showing how great they are, you will want to chase them.

The 3 game questions has also been used by PUAs as a gimmick to create excitement and fun in the interaction.  The game is actually fun if done casually but PUAs usually make normal things come across as weird.  The last question about you being a fat girl in HS is taken straight out of some of the online forums these PUAs chat on.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a big fan of internet dating.  I guess I&#039;ve met too many weirdos!  Don&#039;t be discouraged from trying it coz I know a fair few people who have met their partner that way.

I just found it a little time consuming.  First you chat on msn and e-mail, then you may speak on the phone and I found once I finally met them, I was disappointed.  I think you conjure up an image in your head of what this person will be like (even though you try not to) and you are ultimately disappointed.  That&#039;s just from my experiences.  I think meeting someone in person is better for me that way you know whether you are physically attracted to the person or not which is extremely important.

I found the guys on the sites I was on, put up a lot younger and thinner photos of themselves.  I hear this happens often with the women&#039;s profiles too.

At least I got a funny story out of one of the dates I went on.  This guy was a little odd.  He seemed really nice but just talked about himself the whole time and didn&#039;t ask me many questions at all.  Towards the end of the date, he said &quot;Let&#039;s play a game.&quot;  Then he said &quot;You ask me three questions and then I ask you three questions&quot;.
His questions were:

1) Do you were thongs or granny undies?&quot;  (ok weird and a little bit too personal for a first date).

2) How many boyfriends have you had?

The best one......

3) Were you a fat girl in high school?  WTF????????

I replied no but why do you ask?  He replies &quot;You have a really friendly, bubbly personality like a fat girl would&quot;.  

My jaw was on the floor by this point!!!!   Are you kidding me dude???  No wonder you are single.  And at that moment I ended the date and ran for my life!!!  Everyone I tell this too thinks it&#039;s hilarious.  It&#039;s totally true too!!!   

Ahh David, if only you did coaching in Australia!  The men here really need some help.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been on YP now about two months. I picked the worst picture of myself I could find and posted it along with a profile that reads in third person like a dog wrote it. My subject title is &quot; I&#039;m a dog, but I like kittens...&quot; Plus I have three pictures, two are of different types of dogs, none of which I own, ...with in your face comments showing as captions to their respective pics.

One of the pictures shows a puppy and a kitten, together, on the grass, looking at each and getting along, with a caption of &quot; easy compatibility &quot; ...

After I wrote that presentation, I sat back to see what would happen, it took about 4-5 days, as I recall.

That profile has now been up for approximately 11 days and I&#039;m getting 3-5 hits per day along with 2-4  daily emails from women who want to know about me. They&#039;re curious, to say the least.

It just shows to go ya, how much fun being yourself can actually be when without much effort, you release yourself to women shopping for someone they automatically get curious about and it&#039;s so much fun...!

Then I opened myself to have YP allow my profile to be shown on other online dating sites they select and off I went...

And I haven&#039;t looked back since, just having take in more healthy foods to keep my stamina in check.

It is said, &quot;You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon it will be too late.&quot;</description>

		<description>I just came out of a 5 year relationship, mostly because are careers are going different directions. Still love this girl the world over. We met through match.com. The thing I have to say is if you truelly do want to meet someone and have an honest relationship you must be yourself and be honest! Putting up a bunch of false info and doctored pics is not what the ladies are looking for. Trust me, when they meet you they will read right through it. and, I just met a sweet girl through e-harmony...It can and does happen!</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t done online dating but the cool thing about posting pictures online is really about showing facets of yourself that women wouldn&#039;t know right away about you.

A picture is worth a thousand words.  If you put up a bunch of pictures in international locales, she&#039;ll know you are cultured and well traveled.  You don&#039;t even have to tell her!

So yea... use those pictures as billboard advertisements for your &quot;best features&quot; :)</description>

		<description>Deni. I know what your saying, thats why i said managing expectations. Dont be discourage.....You are truthful, and represent your correctly.  I found that my mind can do amazing things, and pictures dont tell the whole story.  I think also people can grow on you, as you get to know them.  Just a few thoughts.</description>

		<description>I was on Match for about a year and got very discouraged because the gentlemen I was meeting were no honest about themselves, age or weight. It was always a huge shock for me so I gave up. Anyone else have the same experience?</description>
