wow, this shit seems like a total mess. or a crapshoot at the very least. it makes you wonder if it's really that hard to get a date with somebody at least half way decent, these days. is it? IRL, where do you guys find potential dates/mates/significant others? sounds like most people are damaged goods in some way or are lugging around baggage. and, in the end, when you've sifted through the refuse and have narrowed it down to a select few,....even then there is so much potential for failure.

even signing up for this type of networking/dating site seems depressing, almost as if it's a last resort.

but actually,...i'm passing judgement. sorry.

you can do it. good luck!

I think you get the same variety of people on these things as you do in real life. I think a lot of people get hooked up with people they meet through friends IRL. The same people that are on these sites have had dates with people that they've met through other means. I have friends that are some of the most awesome people I've ever met that have used online dating... as well as met other boyfriends through friends or whatever. People are people. Some people are just really busy, and it's hard to meet people when you have little time on your hands. To be honest, those are the people that are best to meet online. They're usually very cool, interesting, and have lots of hobbies... and those things take up most of their time. People who have tons of time on their hands, but are using a dating service... those are the ones to look out for. They have no friends to network with, and they never go out. They most likely have problems and are some sort of recluse. Then again... maybe that's what some people are looking for. Not me... but I'm sure there's someone out there that's interested in someone who's afraid to leave the house.

best not be talking about me boy!
i don't think it's bullshit to feel someone out online before agreeing to talk on the phone or meet up in person.

i dont give my phone number out to every guy who messages me. i only have 200 daytime minutes on my plan.

No... not talking about you specifically. It's a generalization. I really have met people in person that I got along with fine over IM... but they were nothing like that in person. after meeting in person, we never spoke again.

I usually don't try to meet someone that quickly when I don't have a good feel for them... but if I find someone to be really interesting online, I want to meet them in person to see if that's really them. I've also heard stories of people going out with someone and them being way older than what their profile said.... something to also keep in mind.

and yes... I do pay when I take someone out

Yeah... I'd recommend gettin on the phone with the people you meet... at least. Going out is best. I've met a lot of girls on there that just like chatting... they want to "get to know you" before meeting... That's bullshit. You can't get to know someone by typing little messages to them. People are almost never the same online as they are in person or even over the phone. It really sucks to talk to someone online for a while... and then when you meet them... they're a total disappointment. Once you hang out with them in person, talking to them through any other means will be way more enjoyable.

If they're that much against meeting... fuckem. If they're that afraid to simply get a beer with someone in a public place, imagine how that individual is in every other aspect of their lives.

Perhaps the focus is NOT on the minority of viewers (women, in this case... it is the super bowl)... but more focused on the putting thoughts in the minds of the majority... the ones who did the impregnating. Hmmm... perhaps they don't think they can influence the women... but maybe they can influence their significant others (or soon to be baby's daddy) to do the convincing for them. Maybe it's worse that they're putting these thoughts into the male viewers head to sway their opinion.

"Honey... you can't abort the baby... you don't know how you really feel. You're prego and full of hormones and nonsensical emotions... I saw a very informative commercial on this... those doctors are always wrong. I know what I'm talking about".

See where this is goin???

I think you need to lengthen your profile on there... it's way too short. I made mine crazy long... cause I like to piss people off. I guess it's not the best strategy, but I think I'm fuckin hilarious! I should win an award... seriously.

Don't judge me.
