Well… as someone who met his wife through a dating site, I have to say that if you’re 100% totally honest about yourself, and if your perspective “other” is also as honest, you can make it work and can meet someone wonderful. Maybe it also helped that when we met we were both in our late 30′s and had a bit more maturity (and really knew what we wanted out of life). This isn’t a knock on you, Outlander, my wife knows someone who’s going through the exact same thing as you. Plus, she did meet a few real creeps before she met me.

The thing is that you do have to work it. And because I worked it, it worked out better for me than the bar scene or trying to get hooked up through friends.

And were you completely truthful in your profile?

I love the Brad Paisley song “I’m so much cooler online.”

Another good Onion parody with some uncomfortable truth to it.

No kidding! I particularly loved the “rejection is just a mouseclick away” comment.

Another good Onion parody with some uncomfortable truth to it.I left the dating scene when megahits such as “Hungry like a wolf”, “safety dance” and “Pass the Dutchie” were burning up the charts.
I don’t envy you young’uns at all in today’s dating scene.

I hate American style dating. If there’s anything more confusing than the American English language, it’s American style dating. I know I need a significant other. . . the process of getting from point A to B is unbearable though.

Still trying to find the Mail order Bride agency that Kucinich used, oh mama!

Actually, King Solomon had it the best. 1000 wives. . . well, 700 wives, 300 concubines. He couldn’t decide either apparently.

Imagine what his concubines must of felt like (but not too much). I mean here is a man that will marry at the drop of a hat and you, well you go into column B.

Sounds like you could use an arranged marriage. No muss, no fuss, no singles games, plus she has to give you a dowry, and best of all, iron your shirts. Also, very low maintenance.

And it’s a lot easier to tune her out when she doesn’t speak English.

If I might offer a word of caution; just one will be sufficient. On very rare occasions such as shopping, even that one may seem too many.

yep, that would make life a whole lot easier. Just think of the productivity that America loses chasing strange. When I was dating in school, we learned all about ‘date rape’ and ‘AIDS’ was just coming out. Then when I was in college, sexual harassment ruled. They basically scared me away from dating/relationships and I haven’t grown out of it.

I guess I’m just selfish. I don’t mind giving everything I have to a significant other. The problem is that I don’t want to give it to the wrong one, and I don’t know how to decide which one is the right one.
