In college I went on a computer matched date.
She talked too much and drank all of my beer!

On-line dating.....and it rhymes with " Beth "
- Thread starter 26Ford
- Start date
As George Takei from Star Trek would say, "Oh My!"
Been there , done that. Went out with a forty year old woman who was very good looking. Found out she had been married five times and her last boyfriend killed himself. She was" I'm really ticked, then no I'm not." Did you see that bright light?" " Leave me alone, I love you." Her name was Cathy. Rhymes with pathy as in pathological! As other have said, "RUN Forrest, RUN!" Meth would have calmed her down!

I'm a widower. While I would like to have a woman in my life again, I have no desire to remarry.
Earlier this year I decided it was time to get off my butt and rejoin the world. Yeah, I tried internet dating too.
I came to these conclusions:
About 80% of those women are divorced and want to get married again.
About 15% are widowed and want to get married again.
The few remaining are either fat, ugly, live 500 miles away or any combination thereof.
I also learned to watch for various "give away" phrases.
"Love to travel"
"Looking for a generous man"
"Take good care of me"
"Spoil me"
In short, they aren't looking for a boyfriend, they want a sugar daddy to support 'em!
However, it hasn't been all bad. I have met and dated a couple of very nice women. It didn't work out romantically, but I did get a couple of nice dinners out of it.
Anyway, my membership to that site expired and I didn't bother to renew. I figure its better to be alone than broke.

After popping his balloon on the "teacher", I made these exact same points to my buddy when he started looking at some others. He rolled his eyes at me and said I had an overly suspicious mind and was being picky. I told him that "careful" would be a better description and got some grudging agreement. My SIL said I was mean to him, but I don't want to see him in trouble, miserable and broke.

I signed up for one just to see who in this area was looking for a man. They don't have my picture and only have a code name. There is no way for them to contact me and I haven't and won't contact them. I have seen a lot of women that I know or have seen before, a lot of them from answering domestic violence calls. There were several known druggies and ex-convicts and a lot of what my Dad used to call "a dog looking for a bone." One of the "social drinkers" had done two sentences for felony DUI. One had no kids living at home because Dept. of Human Services had taken them away. Several that loved "walks on the beach" had to do so because getting in the water meant the risk of getting harpooned. One of my co-workers has tried this several times and all of these encounters ended in disaster, one of which almost got him fired.

This is a long confuseing subject. In the end of it all I will say "Quit trying". I have a ton of war storys good and bad but it seemed to me I got in enough trouble without looking for them. I never got married the first time untill I was close to fourty. So I guess I had a lot of experiances each side of that. If a man doesnt get married fairly young the odds are you will be dateing divoricees with kids. I know I passed up a number of good women because I didnt want to raise someone else`s kids. Of course it always took awhile for THEM to figure that out.
My wife has three kids but they were long gone when I met her. Once a friend fixed me up on a blind date. She had a son of about 7 years old. She introduced us. He walked up to me and kicked me hard on the shin and said I dont want my ma to date nobody!
In this day and age it seems its a mutual revolveing child support account. If you are divoriced and paying child support, to survive a new relationship you need to hunt up a woman receiveing about as much support as you are paying! Life shouldnt be that way but it is.
If you are divoriced or even never married and have no kids your nuts takeing on someone else`s! Now if you are older and her kids are out on their own thats another deal.
There is something in the bible about marrying "evenly yoked". It couldnt be truer!

This kid was dateing a wild woman. His dad took him aside and said he had heard she was messing with all the men in the village. The kid said, yeah dad, but its a small village.

Keith,
My dad was a officer with the San Angelo PD back in the 50's and I think that you and him would of got along "jest" fine.
You know better than most that this chemical is potentially themost destructive chemical to date. Even heroin addicts don't exhibit the bizarre behaviour that meth addicts do. I have read studies on the effects that conclusively prove that once you've gone over the edge with meth, you're basically going to crave it the rest of your wretched life as it permanently alters the chemistry in the brain.
The occurance of meth heads getting out of prison even after a few years of incarceration and getting right back into cooking is alarmingly high.
Gee.....I'm going to watch the game with my lovely child wife, slurp on some favorite branch water flavors and relax.
Good evening folks!

I met my wife on line. Asked her to marry me after less than a week of talking on line and on the phone. A friend bet me 100 dollars to do that. She said yes. Without ever having met in person I sold all my belongings and moved from MI to WA. That was in 2006. We are still together and have four sons. She will retire from the Navy in 2 more years.

I tried the online thing about 10 years ago. Never had contact with so many liars and freaks in my life. By the way, complete and total honesty will turn most women away in about ten seconds......I guess they are not used to that. I'm very direct and open, not to the point of rudeness, I just don't want to play games. Aside from the religious aspect, I see no advantage in todays' marriage. Seems like a license to make others miserable. Sorry for my dim view of it, but it is as I've seen. It can be great. My grandfather died 10 days before his 62nd wedding anniversary. Today, almost everyone looks at almost everything with a "NOW" attitude and a "throw it away" attitude. I want no part of todays' attitude in a relationship.
I have never tried on-line dating nor ever will. I have found three things that a woman is interested in when it comes to dating a guy: 1- What kind of a job does he have? 2-How much money does he have? 3- What kind of a car does he drive?
I know women who state emphatically that they will only marry someone for their money. Nothing more. If you aren't a CEO with $500K in the bank and driving a Mercedes G-class...most will not even look your way.

I married for money, She has it all.
You want a good relationship, get a dog. Many, many wiser gents than myself have told me to rent the other needs. Sorry for sounding crass, but after yet another dismal disappointment with "a seemingly great woman" for the last two and a half years, I can't completely disagree with them. I can't wrap my brain around rental at this stage of the game either. Attitude and personality are worth so much more than a paid for face. Guess I'll hang out with some of my female friends and be happy with the non-BS companionship. As a note, ANY drugs, smoking, or more than casual alcohol are A FAIL AT THIS STATION!!!!!!!!

Whittier, Alaska....
I once went to visit a pal who lived in Whittier, Alaska. It's a town built on a 30% rock slide overlooking a 1,000 foot deep gorge filled with water called Prince William Sound. When the tide is in, you can't land on the short gravel strip as it's underwater. Not to worry, there is a one lane road into town, but it's 13 miles under a mountain and you have to share it with coal trains.
Whittier is called a "quaint little drinking town that has a deeply rooted fishing problem"... anywho, most every person in Whittier lives in the same building. "Companionship" is at a premium. It's said that in Whittier when your relationship goes sour that "you don't loose your girlfriend, you just loose your turn...

Dating? Some years ago I took a class in "Dating and Relationships". It wasn't about where to meet women, as I expected. It was about working on yourself, opening up, becoming confident and self assured. Easy, right? There were techniques.
Do that, and you have to beat them away with a stick.
Maybe I should write a book...Huh?

Oh darn!
One of my on-line dates posted a "like" on my confessions to on-line dating with Forum members.
But, it must have been good for him.

I imagine the concoctions these freaks cook up these days, is more like something the Nazis would give prisoners in concentration camps instead of their own troops. I figure the next evolution of meth/crank/crack will kill it's users in just a couple of weeks, but ooohhh, you get sooooo high.

yeah .. I'd have whacked my account too ... your right about there being some chemistry, just not the kind you thought, nor want.
The text only thing points to yet another BIG problem, well, several problems with names like Tom Dick and Harry ... possibly a few "Johns" too
