With what money? Or did you expect us to take on a debt load? I have a two year degree, but I don't make as much as a mechanic or UPS guy does. Do you have any idea what a skilled tradesman makes in a day? Anyway, as I was saying--I don't owe anyone a dime.

I disagree..Although it isnt my choice of men, I went on a date with a mechanic, a cute guy (didnt work out though) and my wiper blade fell off the hook and into the middle of the street during pouring weather. He got out the car and ran down the street and even put it back on for me! And I offered up paying for our dinner.

So where do you come off at?

anyway...we have gotten a bit off track, this whole thread has become about men and what kind of JOBS they have, no no no lol! Its about how many internet men are anti-social, cheating, lying, no good sons of a....

Thanks to Connecticut Pam for that post...See, here's how I see it. Alot of you say dating is dating. Well I just dont agree internet dating and meeting someone in person is the same. It has always, always, always, always seemed that these men I meet off the internet seem to treat me like less of a woman, just because they met me online! Many of them wont try to take you on a proper date (there are some who do though) and it invaribly seems that there is another person in the picture.

I cant tell you how many times guys are always telling me they are just bored when they go online. However, I may have to attribute it to the city Im living in. Its fairly suburban/urban, (a city thats really a suburb) and lacks a descent quality of men. Far too many of them are wanting to be discreet (why oh why?) Nonetheless...I've been in other places and the results arent too much different.

And heres something else...many of the men I meet online and see them in a nightclub, you know what they are doing? They are always standing quietly in the corner and dont attempt to talk to anyone. Its always me who has to go up and speak to them, then they are extremely interested, but then retreat back into their anti-social ways after a date or 2. Why? Because they arent really anti-social, they are just either involved or have way too much baggage.

EXAMPLE: i MET a guy through a friend, at a club. When he pulled out his phone I gasped in horror becasue I recognized his photo from an online dating site. At that point I was thinking to myself; uh oh...he's gonna be trouble, but I gave him my number in stride.

Before the 1st date he talks about how he was in jail, how he used to party non-stop 7-days a wekk, got burnt out and now just stays at home to himself. He also stated that when women tries to talk to him randomly at a club, that he just gets 'scared' and "hides" behind his friends because he feels many girls at the club are full of sh*t. Dont ask me why I didnt take that as a clear warning and RUN for the hills...

After the 1st date, he ran from me and played games for the 2nd date til I finally told him to stick his d*ck up his a** and that I am happy to delete him. Did I meet him online? No...but he had a profile online and I seen him there quite often. Meeting a online person offline doesnt make them any less of a jerk. I want to meet the ones who either never go online or who dont have a profile online!

I don't know how old you are, but after reading your posts, my guess would be about 16. I think you need to stay off any online sites and out of the bars too, for that matter. At least for oh....5 years or so, to mature a bit more. It's apparent that you've not developed even the most basic social skills and common sense that one needs to have any success with a relationship...no matter where you meet them.

If you are only dating, you are more than likely to date someone who is a pedophile or a murderer. This is why people should go out and socialize at a nightclub or some organization.

The guys you talk about earlier are neither anti-social or self-involved--they're just shy.

This other guy...I would say that being in jail makes him "not a nice guy". He partied all the time...and there's no repercussions from that?

Anyway, why don't YOU ask a guy out if you are interested in him? Instead of waiting for a guy who's hit on every woman in that bar or club at some point, and is starting to run out of options?

I agree with you on the whole online thing..but no way will I be avoiding any bars. Even if I go to meet no one, its fun to go out to bars, far more better than online.

And...you dont know me from a hole in the wall. Maybe you're married with 20 kids and are a stay at home mom who never sees the light of day. So of course you wouldnt know what type of jerks exist on these dating sites. I suggest if you cant say anything worthwhile, say nothing at all because you're just being a ******. (and excuse me, I hope I dont get in trouble with anyone here, but she deserved to be called that as her post is the epitomy of that)

Bars aren't fun...bars are places where people get drunk and stupid...
Even if YOU don't, someone will.

I dont believe that shy crap...Men who are "shy" are "shy" for a reason, they have baggage, or are involved. A true shy guy puts effort to speak to someone, and if they cant, they'll have one of their friends do it for them! I've had it happen several times where a guy was too shy and made one of his friends approach me.

So thats non-sense. There is absolutely no excuse for these internet men to behave the way they do. They werent shy when they were booty dancing on the damn dancefloor dunk off their asses and higher than a kite!

Or they just have trouble connecting with other people. Your real "shy" guys won't be out with friends, if they're even out at all. I like singing karaoke sometimes...but I'm not looking at the audience. I'll look at the screen, or I'll look at the floor. I'm not singing for them, I'm singing for me. And I don't dance. Ever. Not even when I was married...I didn't dance with my wife. Just not something I do.
