I know a woman in her 60's who was very frustrated with internet dating. She is overweight and she said that men treat being overweight like having the plague.
Being overweight is all relative. For every person that doesn't like it, there's a person that does. Problem is, that person may not be geographically near you.
I don't like many women that are below a size 10. I like curves so I naturally like "chubbier" women. It's what attracts me. A size 0 is just not something I'm attracted to, or have ever been. I wouldn't want someone grossly obese either, but weight can be lost. Character and the ability to communicate is lost after so long.
I know attractiveness matters, but I think everyone tends to focus on how someone looks and doesn't care about what comes out of their mouth. I'm looking for what makes me attracted to you. I could give a damn about what everyone else thinks!
It's not so bad if you follow appropriate protocol. Meet them in a public place, drive yourself, and go where there's a lot of traffic. I swear, people make online dating so much harder than it ever has to be. The same thing could happen with someone you met in real life as well.
I realize the stigma that is online dating; however, I think it gets blown out of proportion a little bit. I can understand being hesistant, but if the person seems relatively normal, what's the harm in meeting them in a public place?
Don't let one apple spoil the whole bunch. It's like saying just because you had a child out of wedlock, you are less worthy.
People harp on the bad of online dating to keep themselves from experiencing the good!
I don't know anyone who's did the whole online dating thing. I think it seems more common in the US than over here unless I just don't hear about it.
I honestly though when I first heard about online dating it was pull of weirdos and people who were desperate but my opinion has changed. I think if I met someone I would be apprehensive about meeting them but would still do it and just be cautious.
This doesn't happen often, but it certainly happens. Always keep your guard up when meeting new people, and for the love of god meet in public places until you feel safe with the person. Crazies in the world!
This woman invited a stranger into her home on the first date. No one does that. Maybe a Christian site gives some people a false sense of security?
Before online dating was big, a woman met a guy through the newspaper personal ads. They went on a first date to the local art museum. Her date assaulted her IN THE MUSEUM LOBBY as they were leaving. She screamed and got away, and ran out the door while a security guard jumped the guy.
Those coffee-date-first suggestions for online dating are the best way to go.
online dating is just plain scary, especially for women. youve got very frustrated sometimes angry and defeated people on there desperate to find someone. the myth that its the new hip place to meet super attractive normal people is purely a myth propogated by the marketing of the websites making millions. its largely a danger zone of lies, fake pics, smoke screens and issue laden people better suited for a psych forum.
Then feel free to date all the druggies, babymommas and financial deadbeats you can. My standards are a lot higher than yours.
Again, displaying your lack of logic.
On what evidence do you make the statement that your standards are higher than mine?
