Nothing to justify. TVSG has been on CD for over two years now and has posted on several CD forums for a total of 8500 posts. Always consistent in his cockeyed take on life, he doesn't learn.

The poster you mentioned started a thread just a few days ago on one forum and has posted 25 times thus far defending her position. Despite all good intentions and advice from posters, she has continually protested her basic innocence. Maybe you should re-read that thread. Just my opinion but I don't buy her story in toto. Just my opinion!

Her responses fit the classic abused women. Sure, shes weak and will come up with a zillion reasons to stay or return and may have underlying issues. It doesn't mean they're not telling the truth, it just means they don't get it...yet... And she may fall into the 7-8 times before they do statistic. Brow beating doesn't break the cycle.

The question I could easily ask is: ''what is online dating?''
I tried answering many online ads. Then, I made an attempt to try to meet the person. It never happened. Dates are something you go out and get yourself, I am sorry to say. Another problem with answering those ads is that people: A) place false ads (constantly) and B) sometimes it's someone of the opposite gender posting the ad posing as something they are not. I have heard a lot of horror stories on the matter. Your best bet would be to go to the right place. I hope the link below helps.

Best Cities For Singles - Forbes.com

For quite a while, Denver was on the #1 spot (and it's well earned I must say.) I wish they would take that infernal Raleigh/Durham area (Triangle) off the list. They should put it at the lowest score along with NYC. The DC area and San Fran are also well deserved on that list and deserve a better spot but the state of NC as a whole is an awful place if you are single.

"Men can eliminate getting messages from ugly woman by sound of her voice."

Elimination by photo means you don't have to waste your time hearing a voice.

Some prefer to sort through possible men/woman in a detached manner before getting personal by engaging in voice interaction.

In Telephone dating, you are only ONE phase away from a face to face meeting.

1. The Telephone Phase


In Online Dating you are THREE phases away from a face to face meeting

1. Photo Atraction phase

2. Email or IM phase

3. Telephone Phase



See the difference?

Do you even get just a sliver of how foolish the above sounds?

If it's the "face-to-face" that you consider to be your goal, then why not grab a chair at the library and settle in? Seriously.
