Christ, I tried online dating not long ago. I think most guys here can relate, we are *rarely* spoilt for choice. We can be attractive, ugly, clever, dumb, funny, dry. It does not seem to matter, we're basically disposable when it comes to these apps. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't like to have 200 guys ask me if I'm horny but at least I would know they're concerned about my horniness levels.
Anyway, I got afew matches and I finally took a risk and talked to afew. One replied.
I won't go into specific details or give real names because I'm not an ******* but "Ellen" would not let anyone not completely agree with her about anything. I don't mean "disagree", I mean you were not allowed to do a moderate "Hm, I don't know. Let me think about that." on any subject. She was right, end of. Anyway, like I said; not spoilt for choice and I'm fairly tolerant so I tried to be compromising. Keep things stable, avoid controversial subjects, stay away from arguments. Alot of self-editing was involved.
You know what set her off the final time? She had a thing against doctors and compared them to some amazing vets she had met. You can already sense the part where I was desperately trying to bite my tongue can't you. But credit to me, I held back the rampant mockery that was so richly deserved and inoffensively joked "Well, to be fair, a vets patients can't really complain.
" Boom. Done.
Anyway, I suppose my point is; in my experience it is borderline impossible to meet a stable, interested person on an online dating site. You know what I think? *Most* regulars on there are regulars for a reason and Ellen was certainly no exception. Its either to find "the perfect partner" or some kind of defect that drives partners away and keeps them moving on to the next.
But hey, I'm open to being wrong about anything... unlike "Ellen" who will undoubtedly have alot of cats at the age of 60.
