I agree with Highroller, the guy I used to hang out with throughout university couldn't even talk to a girl in a social circumstance to save his life. Not that he was shy, he just didn't have anything interesting to say, or was really scared of rejection.
He got into online dating, and holy shit I mean he got into it... my other buddy and I were on his laptop once... no matter what letter we typed, there'd be something in his history showing up that started with that letter and ended with "girls" or "dating":
albaniangirls.com
braziliangirls.com
.
.
.
venusiangirls.com!!!

Anyway, this guy had 80 girls on his MSN in a matter of months... he'd talk to every one of them with this macho/gangster sense of selfconfidence, "hey, you want me to f*** you? I don't give a f**k about you, so f**k off bitch" blah blah blah.

So, as far as I can tell most of these sites are full of horny guys + 20-30 girls either thinking they're gonna find "love" or a sugar-daddy!

Originally posted by The Highroller It's the exact opposite really. I used to be on a website called MMTO, whose main purpose it was to pick up. This is what I used it for originally, but I started to get really bored and annoyed with profile hunting (I later started using it just for the forums). I found most of the people on that site projected an image of what they wish they were, but in real life were usually really shy and nothing like what they made themselves seem to be. It is a lot easier to socialize and make yourself seem like a confident person online since a lot of people feel a lot less akward when communicating online. Secondly, I find that these online dating profile sites really inflates girls' egos. Because of the artificial confidence I just mentioned, suddenly every guy who is too nervous to talk to girls in person is messaging every single girl he thinks is hot. You then have girls getting tons of messages everyday, which boosts her ego like crazy. Sorry, but I don't feel the need to compete with 50 losers to get a girl's attention. Also, even if you do end up finding a girl who's intersting, I find the whole online courting thing to be a bit lame and something that I'm not really interested learning how to do. "Hi babie u look sexi, and ur so funny haha wanna go for dinner?"

Wow, totally agree. You summed up my biggest gripes with those sites.

lol, there was an article somewhere about how some ppl have "online attention deficit disorder" when it comes to finding a mate. They just go profile hunting (ie, height, income, race, looks) and disregard really getting to know the person, and usually have a shopping cart full of dates for the week.

Positive energy isn't an issue usually (at least nowadays) as for smiling, I have to have a buzz going as I can't smile on command, unless I'm laughing or something. A "in the moment" type of smile I guess? lol I get the "you should smile more" comment a lot.

lies!!!

we were laughing with smiles going around the last time we had a conversation! you're a funny guy man!
