That's going to get super-awkward for us guys. Hey there, Handsome! *giggle*

Edited to correct apostrophe placement.
Oh noes... no giggling. HaHAA...

(Be glad I didn't go with my other consideration, "hottie".)

I have been wanting to say this to you for a while, maybe you should change your online name? When you call yourself ugly that is what you will feel. Good looking would be so much better, hey good looking :)
Actually i picked the name because it made me laugh when i thought of it. And so i'd hoped the humor would translate to others. Some it does, others it does not. Unfortunately its a small fee to change, and you start all over. They can't just change your name you have to start all over fresh. I've considered it. But likely any name i would like wouldn't go over well haha.

None of them served me!

The Church is a "safe" enviroment to finf someone, but DOCTRINAL differences and more things i can´t mention here will arise (like money, likes, social stature or physical size) (like yours!) Ha! Ha! Ha!

This week I met a blind woman and I think I like her, more than those sophisticated pages. :)

ithink that God in his wisdom and knowledgehas the partner for us laid out already without us having to go in search. Thats prob why im divorced because I forced the issue and didnt wait on the Lord.

I haven't met a lot of Content people on dating sites.

There is the sort of Home Shopping Network aspect of it. A profile and the match criteria are almost too detailed and read like a competitive product market. Think Amazon.com for the exchange of people. Accessible from the convenience of your living room and if you so choose, your bath robe. All you need is a couple of good photos and a list of reasons why someone should find you attractive.


In a sense I see it as a lot like shopping for a job by dropping an Application to a Job search website, not knowing what position or where you are going to work.

I guess, in a way it probably is a good way to market one's availability but, my experience is that I don't get matches and the one's I do get will take anybody who puts in the effort.


Its not for everyone, but there seems to be a lot of everyone there. Its certainly not for me but, I have seen enough success stories to give it a little bit of credit. I have also seen a lot of stories where the girl is a pot smoker or the guy is looking for sex even when their profiles read to the contrary.
It's pretty darned convenient to just sit home, eat some popcorn, and shop for a woman.

The problem is, these girls all want to do thing like "talk."

I mean, if I have to talk to them, and be all polite, and answer all their probing questions...
heck, I might was well just go on a real date.

: )

I paid for Match.com for a year. It was about as productive as flushing money down the toilet.

I might actually still be paying for CM. I can't remember. *shrug*

My thoughts concerning them are...

"I'm hungry."
"That's not a woman, that's a dude! *reads profile* CALLED IT!"
"I should go to bed."
"Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat some worms..."
"Did I leave the gas on? No - because I'm a squirrel!"

Wanted to give eHarmony a shot, but as is often the case, they wouldn't have me.

Actually, the dating site I like the most, conceptually, has an almost non-existent population, but I bet it does well in a metropolis that isn't shared with Mexico: HowAboutWe. For me, the way it's set up has a very Goldilocksian "just right" feel of speed dating while giving a decent glance at someone's lifestyle. But no real options I care for, which is par for the course in El Paso. *shrug*

When I post something that APPEARS to be so full of typos that I don't make any sense,
those aren't typos...
I really just don't make any sense.

Alright... that's all I have to say.

I'm on Christian mingle. It's a nice site, but I met a guy of the site for a few dates, and turns out he wasn't even a Christian. But maybe I got the one not-so-good-apple in the bunch.

No.

That was probably the best apple in the bunch.

Personally, I am not on any dating sites just because I cannot afford that extra amount right now. However, I think it is worth trying out for little bit. Christian Mingle that is. The only thing is you have to be more careful because you have to scope them out from behind a computer screen instead of in person. Make sure you know them really well, do not use your personal information, like your name or where you work or where you live. When you meet in person make sure that you meet in a public place for your safety and bring a friend along that will be your support and have a signal to leave. Be careful and pray about it.
