Internet dating

[Grubber]

She's a hard road finding the perfect woman, boy.

Don't get me started!

I generally find its easier to rent them.

Back when Mark and I first met, it was something really "out there" to meet someone from an internet site and make a relationship of it, I remember an article in one of the womans mags about some couple that actually got married after an internet meeting

I read it is 9 years we have been together, now that is not a bad effort for a couple of internet losers as my ex referred to us as

I have met some really lovely people after an initial internet contact. Some of these I count among my closest friends.

I don't even know while I'm reading this thread - I'm married!

I was going to warn you about the perils of internet dating - people proclaiming to be other than they are or you getting a false idea of what they are/look like.

For example I bet most of you think I have a 12 inch dick - when really it's only 9 inches. Such is the internet.

Sorry if I disappointed anyone.

Met my hubby on some dating site, cant remember which one it was now. After he died, I logged in again and met the lovely man I am seeing now.

there are some truly neat guys out there, but by crikey there are some bloody dropkicks.

Easy to pick them, only takes half a coffee. Got to use the brain to filter them.

Bloody hard road finding the perfect man too!

I thought I had but someone already had him and he forgot to mention that small wee fact!!!

It depends how desperate you are.

If you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel there is always the KB-Swingers user group started by our Very own DangerousBastard. you can see it here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/group.php?groupid=41

That's quite a group.

I don't even know while I'm reading this thread - I'm married!

Means you're ready to swing!

Met my girlfriend on NZD & very happy now too. It's hard for single women to meet guys, they can't exactly wear a sign in the pub & their are only so many options in a circle of friends / workmates. A lot of guys (me) find it hard to say I'm interested for fear of rejection, abuse, embarrassment, what ever. Chatting on line is great, a phone call or two & a public date with no expectations was a perfect way for me to meet woman. I made friends, had a lot of fun & laughs & met a woman I fell in love with. It's fairly easy to spot the nutters & find people on a similar wave length, as long as you can write sentences, spell & actually have something interesting to contribute. On line dating is what you make it. Honesty & humour are essential.

That sums up the online dating thing pretty good. Internet dating is a brilliant way to crunch the numbers when it comes to finding a root or a mate. Just go in with your eyes wide open and with honesty. And beware of what the prospective partner's profile *doesn't* say (e.g. no weight = probable whale)

I used Findsomeone to meet a few similarly available singles after a marriage meltdown (if it had been that easy to score when I was in my teens I would have worn out the old fella !) and after getting that out of my system met a very special lady literally on the other side of the world via the same website.

6 years later, now settled back in NZ and still very happy with the result

Shudder!

Just imagine it - months and months of discussion with your partner, finally you both agree to some rules or something and head off to your first party. You're feeling fine - hey some of these people are actually attractive. Then you notice your partner being chatted up by Skidmark!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh Oh one of my friends keeps getting hit on by dudes on NZ dating.
I give him shit and tell him he must be asking for it, but seriously he is about as straight as they come, its pretty random!!!

[Ratti]

It happens. I had a few ladies test the waters. Take it as a compliment that someone finds me attractive. Explain that they are not my flavour and leave it at that. No harm.

You get sent the message.........."I have read your profile and you seem the type of guy I'm looking for"....Reply... John you obviously didn't read my profile properly,so f_ _k off

[hellokitty]

when I was on NZDating, I didn't say much about me as far as looks/weight go and didn't even have a photo of me on my profile. Any guy that suggested I might be fat or ugly, is not the type of person I would want to be with anyway.

I basically said that I have full sleeve tattoos and a full back tattoo - if you don't like tattoos, then you won't like me.

I had so many guys intrigued because I had no picture - my husband talked to me for about a week before I sent him a picture - he was very happy with what he saw.
I knew what he looked like and I thought he looked scary, but he seemed to be on the same wave length as me.
