On-line dating.....and it rhymes with " Beth "

[26Ford]

Sounds like a keeper!!!

Sip, mom never heard of cooking meth, she says if a woman can't cook pasta ***ioli, she's not good enough for her son anyway.

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!!!!!!!!

Ride-On my friend, cept I have 2 Bulldogs and they snore louder than any 10 women Ive ever been with{ not at the same time of course, just sayin }.

This thread sure makes me grateful to be a happily married man!

Arlo, I was happily married once... then the ether wore off....

Thanks thunder, yes and I'm waiting for some Law Enforcement fellows to chime in, but I don't think this situation needs someone with a Degree in Criminal Justice. What a terrible shame, she was a very attractive woman too.

Meth cases I've known lost their looks along with their teeth. Most of them don't have money for false teeth and even if the dentist in the county jail gave them some last time they did time, they hocked them when they got out for more meth. If she's from Missouri, she looks like all the rest of them girls. Pretty, polite, quiet, with low self esteem and they make you wanna puke when they smile and show you their brown and rotten teeth. Reason they're so skinny is cause they can't eat solid food and anything with sugar hurts too much. For the life of me I don't know what the reason is, maybe the water? Amazes me everytime I go there. Don't believe me? Drive thru Missouri and you'll see that every other sign along the interstate is for discount false teeth...made while you wait. Go to Branson, go into a nice restaurant and wait for your cute little waitress to smile.

Well, you said she had Chemistry!

I guess you just didn't mean as a hobby.

I taught Contemporary Social Issues to High School upperclassmen for years. Most of the time I would lay out for/against arguements and let the students make their own choices- abortion, gun control, legalization of marijuana, gay marriage, just to name a few. No way with Meth. Bad, bad, bad. To illustrate my point I used Faces of Meth put together by multnomah sherriff department in california. All it is is comparing mug shots of meth users over time. Good Lord! Faces of Meth

Sorry to hear your on line dating didn't work out. I know of several success stories to go along with the horror stories I've heard so don't lose faith.

"They're running a game on me, Rico"

Has to be one of the scariest things I have ever done fm, and I worked deep in Miami for almost 20 years.

26 Ford,

Did you ever see the Miami Vice episode where Uncle Ted arranged to meet a lady's new guy friends out at the Big Pile in the big sandbox -- and the new guys wound up UNDER the pile?

A great line in that one was Crockett saying, "They're running a game on me, Rico."

That was maybe 1985. In 2012, the "Uncle Teds" have moved online...

(I think there was also a lonely hearts dating service episode with Iman as well.)

Both were instructive, cautionary tales...

You've got to remember there's always the prospect -- strong prospect -- "she's" bait and a decoy for a trap...

There is one other possibility, albeit unlikely, about your potential online date... she could be suffering from an eating disorder. Some women with eating disorders purge the food from their systems orally. This tends to have the unfortunate side effect of rotting their teeth.

Please don't ask me how I know (she tends to be psychic about this topic!)...

Try gun ranges, I met Mrs Engineer at an indoor shooting range. I think she was looking for cheap ammo and I reload. It will be 7 happy years in December while we enjoy our second week end in Key West.

You sometimes meet a better class of people in a firearms environment.

What a terrible shame, she was a very attractive woman too.

Then she has not been using meth long. From what I've seen it does not tale long for the open sores to start showing up. From what you say I'd suspect heroin.

I worked with a lot of WWII vets (long ago). One a Lt. Colonel said that during the war in the Pacific Northwest they were running the Badger Game. Several GIs got cleaned out and they started taking their 1911s on dates. When the "husband" broke in on the couple he got shot with a .45. Put a quick end to the Badger Game.

Regarding on-line dating, I am a 67 year old divorced man, but I will not use these services. I do not think the folks are screened well enough. I have tried speed dating a few times. If I look at the ads on Craigslist it is just for a quick laugh. I would never advertise there nor would I ever answer an ad from there.

Some churches have dating services. I have a GF now, but I might consider that if I did not.

I have been divorced for about 7 years. I still haven't decided if I ever want to get married.

This thread reminds me just how lucky I am.

Back some years ago, before Internet dating, I signed up for a deal where you recorded, for want of a better word, an add describing yourself. You would call a number and listen to the women's adds and they would do the same. If there was an interest you would leave a message in their mail box and this would lead to exchanging messages until the two of you decided to meet. (You always met in very public place, each driving so you could make a quick get-a-way.) One of the more often used descriptions was, "My weight is proportional to my height." Had that been true the Women's National Basketball League would never had had a problem finding 7 foot centers.....or forwards.....or guards.
