A couple of weeks ago, we've been out on three dates so far, and it's gone really well.

That's like saying there are less creepy guys at a nicer bar. It's not the case.

Whether you're on a dating site, bar, bookstore, library, internet, bus, train or airplane.. there are going to be a cool people and some weird ass people.

That's life.

I agree, there are gonna be nutty people everywhere you go....... but I still stand by the money/cost thing weeding some people out ....just in the general sense.....

Yeah, you could be right on that one.

I think the problem with the paid sites though, is while you might weed out some of the creeps, you also weed out some of the people who do just fine dating in real life also.

The people who do fine in public situations, but then want to just have their dating site up aren't going to want to pay for something they can do just as easily walking to the library on a Thursday afternoon. My guess is that with a paid site, you might have some more serious people, but maybe also less attractive and more clingy?

End of the day though, you're still going to see everything Everybody funneh

My impression is that you have no respect for the genre of poetry--a serious literary form.

It's disturbing on many levels.

The only woman this would appeal to is one looking for clients...

Think about it this way - a guy can send 30 quick messages like that in a short period of time. Chances are one of them might respond. It's an easy way to find a ONS. If that's all a guy is looking for, that's a nice way to do it with minimal effort.

Isn't it just the opposite? If you send a message that actually talks about one of the girl's interests and uses proper grammar, wouldn't that put you ahead of most of the messages she gets?

No because she would consider it boring

That's fine with me. I don't think I'd want to date a girl that thinks "Hay qtpie wana bang?" is an fun, creative message anyways.
