I'm from LA so there is a lot of people I can potentially meet a lot of people online near me. I met my soon-to-be-ex wife on plentyoffish. Her best friend met her long-term boyfriend on there. One of my best friends met his fiance on there. Thus, that site has had some success well at least 5 years ago. No clue if it is any good now.
I tried jdate because I come from a Jewish background. A friend of mine met her husband on there. I didn't have much success on there. However, most people Jewish people I know call it jfuck.
Eharmony flat out sucks. I was on there for 6 months. Only ever met 1 person on there.
Match is ok. Not much success.
My main problem with most of these sites is that guys basically have to lie to even get a response because the women are so FUCKING PICKY. Best example is that most of them on there want a guy who is like 5'10 and up. Well I am 5'6" but have to claim that I am 5'8" just to get in most women's search perimeters.

I signed up for plentyoffish and thought it was weak as hell. The profiles were so bare-bones. The website just seemed like it was designed by a 10 year old, I really didn't like it.
And you're right, man, the women are PICKY AS FUCK. I've only had a handful respond to me, and only ONE who responded and actually wanted to keep talking. The others respond as little as possible, and never ask you anything.
I'm gonna eventually msg these women back and find out what the deal is.

Yeah the pickiness thing drives me nuts... they describe their ideal man instead of what they are willing to date... and the height thing in particular annoys me... what makes a 5'1" girl think she deserves to only want guy's that are 5'10" or better? Heightism is a VERY rel thing in our society, and women are the biggest offenders.

I fucking HATE tall guys. Women are suckers for height more than anything. Doesn't even matter if they are that good looking. You know, I GET a 5'10 girl wanting a tall guy, but when a 5'1 girl is wanting a 6 footer, WTF??
I don't even give a shit about height. I've gone after girls that were 4'10 and girls that were 5'10 (I'm 5'9). The only reason I don't pursue more tall girls is that you just KNOW they will only accept Shaq.

Haha. Yeah, us average height guys are always at a disadvtange to those motherfuckers who are 6'3.
Myself, I don't have a problem with tall girls, but I much prefer smaller ones. Like, 4'11-5'2. Just dig the cute, smaller girls. Plus, me being 5'9 makes me a giant in there eyes, and also my buffness is even more buffness.
I actually came across a girl who I may actually date when this whole ordeal is over. She's shorter, curvy type with glasses, hates Chuck Lorre [How I Met Your Mother, Big bang Theory, 2 And A Half Men], and seems pretty cool so far. Interesting.

Is she the one that gave you the Captain America answer.
Man, I'm torn on Chuck Lorre. I really like BBT, but 2.5 Men has got to be the worst thing in the history of television. And I haven't seen enough HIMYM. It seems ok, but I still think the concept is ridiculous ("And then your Uncle Barney fucked the stewardess and her friend")

Nope. The one who gave the Captain answer killed her profile.
Scotty, how can you like BBT? You seem like a smart dude with a proper sense of humor. Then again, I know some people who I'd consider among the smartest & funniest people I know who dig that show. So, who knows. Maybe it's Kaley Cucco...
I just got an email from OKCupid that said I'm one of the more attractive people on the website, and now I will be presented as such, and I'll also see more attractive people in the search logs. Isn't this some obnoxious bullshit? Obviously they send this sort of crap out to every single person with a profile. I mean, who falls for this garbage?

I dunno man, I just enjoy it. There are some cringe inducing jokes, but there is also some pretty funny bits that are well researched. 90% of it is Sheldon who I confess makes me laugh (but I'm not going out and getting a Bazinga shirt or anything).

I've had both good and bad experiences with online dating, both meeting somebody online through FB/My Space (does anybody even use MySpace anymore) and through dating sites.
My very first expieience with a dating website left a real bad taste in my mouth as I was Catfished. What was good about her ruse was her fake pic while being a cute girl wasn't a drop dead georgous supermodel so it was very believable. After talking for a few days we decided to meet up for lunch. When I got there I actually passed the girl on the sidewalk, I then heard "Brian?" and turned around to see a very different girl than in the picture. Like I said, the pic girl was rather cute, kinda skinny, had long hair. This girl though...yeah, none of those things. She was heavy, not pleasing to the eyes and on top of that she came to the date looking disgusting. It was just a lunch date but I at least had a nice clean shirt, nice jeans, my hair combed. She was wearing a way too tight shirt with holes in it, same with her ripped jean shorts and her hair looked like she hadn't washed it in a week. I told her she wasn't what I was expecting, she told me sorry but didn't think I would come if I saw this version of her. She was honestly right which made me feel kinda shallow which is probably why I kept going with this farce of a date. We sat down at a booth and the first thing she says is "Your paying, right?" uggg. The "date" didn't go well with her talking about herself in an obnoxious way and me being disinterested. After it was over she asked if we could get a picture together and even said "I'll make it worth your while" I said it was fine and just let her take the picture of us (it was strange she just happened to have a camera on hand, this was before the days of cell phone cams). I later found the pic on her MySpace page, claiming I was her boyfriend in it, I got her to take it down with an empty threat of a hacker friend doing it for me. God that was a nightmare.
I met another girl Jennice, on a message board for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and we ended up meeting at a Buffy/Angel convention (yes I know I'm a geek) and had a blast all weekend. Great girl all around. We ended up going out for four months afterwards but we lived five hours away from each other and I've found LDR just don't work. It ended well though with us just accepting that fact. We're still friends today. Funny side story to that, when I was going out with her I constantly tried to get her into wrestling and she would just roll her eyes at it. Two years ago she became a huge wrestling fan and now loves Punk and Ziggler. Life's funny sometimes.
I met a girl through I believe MySpace and this one is kinda a mixed bag. During the first date I could tell she was a bit crazy but still went with it as expieience has dictated crazy girls are amazing in the sack. And she was no different and we had some great chemistry but I started to realize the little bit of crazy I saw gave way to batshit insane. She would yell and scream and then go to nice and loving in a few seconds. But me being young and an idiot I stuck with it because damn the sex was good. Finally it came to a head when we were getting ready to have sex and she asked me to "rape" her. She wanted me to pretend to be raping her, I went with it a little bit and it was the only time I felt dirty and bad during sex. She said I wasn't doing right and hit me to make me mad mid way through. I got up said I was done and left. I broke up with her the next day as that shit was just too fucking wierd for me. She started stalking me a little but like a troll on a message board I ignored her and she moved onto her next victim.
I haven't done the online dating thing in years but from what I found in it, it was 50/50 for me. I would sometimes have a bad date with no chemistry and other times I would meet a great girl that I had fun with.

Oh yeah man, it's the old addage; crazy in head, crazy in bed.
And dude, don't feel bad or feel like you're "shallow" because you wouldn't be attracted to her. People who let themselves go, who don't want to put any effort into their appearance or what have you like to try and make people feel bad, or say they're "shallow" for not being into them. Look, I dig girls with a big ass, it's not a choice I made, it's biological. If you don't dig fat, sloppy girls, well that's not your fault. Just like it's not your fault if you don't dig carrots or something.
When I was fat, and didn't give a fuck, meaning I didn't give a shit about my appearance, I wasn't constantly crying and bitching about chicks not digging me.
there are people out there who dig fat girls like that, so they can have'em. The rest of us dig girls who keep care of themselves, just like they dig guys who do the same.
As for the rape thing, yeah, I find that almost every girl has that fantasy. I had a serious girlfriend who dug that, and although it wasn't as violent as you described, it was pretty rough. I didn't mind though. Almost all girls get turned on by not having control.
You're also a lot nicer than I am. If she'd pulled that bullshit on me, and THEN asked if I was paying, I would have said "yup", and then ordered. Then as our food comes, I'd say I'm an idiot and forgot the wallet in the car. Then I ditch that bitch. Fuck her.

Yeah, I realize now that I was guilt tripped into that date. Another thing that bothered me of course was the lying, I HATE lying and that just soured her on me more than the appearance although it was a close call. Also I've been heavy in the past like I've talked about but I still took care of myself, wore decent clothes, washed/brushed my hair, etc and this girl did none of that. Like you too when I was heavy I never guilted a girl, if she wasn't into me because of that then that was fine. And I don't have ridiculous high standards when it comes to women but honestly I do have standards, I take really good care of myself nowadays, I excercise at least every other day, eat well and while I put that work in primarily to be healthy, it has resulted in me getting a better class of women and if I put work into my appearance I kinda expect the same. If that makes me sound like a shallow dick then so be it.
As for the crazy thing, it sounds very cliche but I have found it to be so so true. But the rape thing just went beyond my limit. Now I'll have some rough, hard sex. I've come away from sex with bruises and my back scratched up to all hell. That's fine. But rape just disgusts me and I find nothing sexy in it even if it's just pretend. That's just me though, if other people are into it and aren't hurting anybody (without their consent) than go for whatever crazy S&M shit your into.
I need to start posting here more btw, just love the feel of this message board, good people, good talks. Better than talking on Scott's Blog honestly. Too many trolls and stupid fighting. Also is it just me or is every other topic now about how HORRIBLE Rock vs Cena 2 is? It's getting a bit repetitive like "Is Montreal a shoot or fake?" or another "Benoit" topic.

Yeah, see, that's why I think this msg board will eventually take off. We may have only 5 or 6 solid posters, but they're good people and other good people see it and will want to come around.
I do agree about the blog. There's a good chunk of peeps that are cool, but more than the fair share of assholes. Motherfuckers who in real life wouldn't DARE speak the way they do online because they couldn't back it up.
And yeah, I'm sick of talking about Rock v Cena 2 as well. However, I think the reason there's so many topics is because that's just the mail Scott's been getting as of late. And although he's a bit apathetic towards his fans/work at times, he at least cares enough to want to answer everyone's questions.
Yeah, her rape thing was basically just rough sex, and me telling her what to do. I've heard of couples doing things where the guy wears a mask, and literally grabs the girl in the dark. Using knives and things like that. No, sorry, that's waaaay too over the line.
Honestly, I think OKCupid and every other dating website should have this question;
Do you have issues with your dad?
If they answer yes, then you know right away to run, run for the fucking hills.

...which would lead to you being single for the rest of your life because they all either have issues with their dad, or put him on a pedestal that you'll never be able to reach.
Agree about this board having a much better feel to it. The "Top posters" in particular (with the exception of The Fuj) tend to act like they are a big deal and shit on anyone that doesn't kiss their ass and agree with them, which gets a little tiresome.
And yeah I am already sick of Wrestlemania and it is what another 3 months away?

Haha, it's true man. Women and their dads, it's an obnoxious fucking world. For once I'd like to meet a girl who's thoughts on her dad was "Yeah, he's really cool" and leave it at that.
I msged this one girl, simply to broaden my scope for the article, and here, check out some of the msgs...
Now, in her profile she tries to make it seem like she's a bit of a wild one, or a bad-ass or something. So....
From her: "I see in your profile you like women who are "sweet and kind". I may not be the best choice for you, pal. I just want to make sure that's out there in the open. "
From Me: "Haha, you like to push the idea you're some sort of bad-ass. Are you riding from town to town on your Harley, breaking hearts & rules as you go along on your tour of terror? Why is it you claim not to be sweet or kind? Do you kick puppies? Do you stop by children's burn wards at hospitals and put them in head-locks?"
From Her: "Haha, you like the push the idea that because your ex was an ingrate you have some sort of magical insight into my personality. That's fuckin' riiiiiiiich. As is the idea that the only two setting people have are "sweet and kind" and "kicks puppies while not returning food-based favors". You're going to have to drop that closed-mindedness, boy-o."
I had told her a story about my ex in which I use to make her lunch all the time for work, then one day I asked her to make mine, she said no, I said "what about all the times I made yours?" and she said "Well I guess you shouldn't have". I told her that story of an example of what a mean person really is, and I doubt that's what she is.
So then, as you can see, she all of a sudden flips out and goes total bitch. What the FUCK is wrong with women? Jesus...she's also one of those types who in one of her profile photos has a pic of her with a fake mustache on, because women apparently find that HILARIOUS.
