Signed Up for Plenty of Fish

This is sort of a sequel to this thread:

http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8802

Anyways, long story made longer, I signed up for probably the sketchiest dating site on the internet. But hey, free lemons.

Since it will no doubt end in a nightmare, I figure I will chronicle my story so others can laugh and cry along with me on this wonderful journey.

I started by sketchily looking at other dudes profiles to try and get something to base mine off of. Holy shit. Those guys are dumber than SNES fanboys. I couldn't bring myself to write that I am outdoorsie and love anything outdoors, because it's not true and I don't. On any level. And that somehow is one of the site requirements. Along with owning a car. Which I don't. Obviously I didn't mention any of the things that I actually do or am interested in, outside of movies and music, which is so vague it is pointless. That's my strategy. Look like I am giving information, when really, I'm not. That way I can tailor to suit. :cool:

So I probably did a shitty job of my profile. Set my 'intention' to 'dating but nothing serious' and upped some bad photos of me in t-shirts of bands notorious for ladies liking.

Off I go, I sent about 20 ladies a variety of sketchy-to-dumb-to-serious intro messages. So far only one has been read, and according to my mailbox that bitch deleted it.

Been there, done that.

Only thing that got me anything was just walking in a mall.

Should have worn a Journey t-shirt, dude.

Just try craigslist lol.

That's the best idea ever. I hope you aren't joking, because that's brilliant.

No way man, I'm looking for love!

Anyways, heard back from one chick. I asked her what body mods she wants to get and got a list back. Responded with a quasi-anecdote.

dude i love singing journey "don't stop believing" karaoke that in a bar when drunk and the women will flock to you.

Buy this shirt:

That, or anything by Manowar will do fine...

My bro has this exact same top, trust me it hasnt helped him. Anyway you don't find love indoors on a computer you find the only good ones out there you gotta go out on the pull. Go to clubs/bars or something or hell even just talking to people in town works well for me. No matter how you find a woman just remember one thing first impressions really do count, so in other words look smooth talk smoother.

Would only find that remotely entertaining if it came with a Sopranos-ending, tbh. :P

That Glee crap needs to die. Lots. Every time I hear that song now, the over-cheerful-bastard version takes over in my head. Was it not cheesy enough to begin with? :(

They show "Glee" in England as well?

I'm sorry.

I met my wife off of yahoo personals. The reason I was even on that site was due to my best friend. He told me about it one day and of course I made fun of him. A couple of weeks later, I went with him to meet one of the girls that he had met on the site. Holy crap she was hot! I was shocked.

Went home, set up my profile, and I ended up having some fun with a few girls before meeting my wife. I never pursued anyone. I always had my laptop on when I was at home and whenever someone contacted me, I'd check it out.

Always ask for the pic. Never go by them describing themselves. The ugly and fat ones are sneaky. The word "curvy" tends to get abused.

I found that contacting the girl first rarely got me anything. They are probably so bombarded by all the guys that they dont read them all. So I just sat back and let them come to me. Worked out pretty well....

Almost forgot, if you do meet them in person, have a friend scope them out first. Just in case....remember, the fat and ugly ones are sneaky little bastards.

POF got me a IHOP adventure at 2AM, and got me laid another time. Both didn't go the way I wanted in the long run.

Then a few other conversations that just went and died for no reason.

Bitches and whores.

Well, I sent a couple messages to that one chick last night, one waiting for me this morning. Upon reading her profile again, she sounds sort of damaged. I'll refer to her at Chick_01.

Another chick (Chick_02) got back to me too, quite pretty in her pics. But her message wasn't very conversation friendly.

So far I am getting more responses quicker than I did previously on another dating site. However, both Chick_01 and Chick_02 are under 20.

I am sick of online dating. Got me laid but for now I am happy being single - who'dathunk that'd ever happen?

So you should be. *folds arms*

Especially since it has spawned another stupid "talent" show - and provided a new home for Baby Spice, it seems :d Why must crap tv always beget more crap tv?

I don't know whether to be irked with America for exporting such rubbish, or the UK for embracing it. I think... both :(
