Yes. And how much you pay. Seriously. This stuff matters. Lots. Ask Dr. Phil.

I don't know exactly when dateing on line got so difficult. A friendly Hello. A simple compliment that no-one picked to pieces. You would tell a thumbnail about yourself, mention a couple of interests, and then polite conversations. No third degree or auto-biographys or security checks. Used to be the date-sites did public events for charities and you could meet people in a respectable situations. And if you weren't into that you met at a nice Mall or community event.

I don't know where all the beef about people lying about appearance and fake persona's came in. Sometimes I think people don't want to believe what they see with their own eyes. I don't lie to anyone. No I don't run out for full body photos every 3 months but the basics are the same. It does seem to be more and more common that I am hearing lies so I know it happens.

Yes I am not going to jump the first time a guy calls to go stand on the auction block for a bad cup of coffee. And after a few chats a guy doesn't want to figure out something fun to do and actually ask me for a date he isn't interested in dateing to meet anyone for more than a booty call and I am not going to bother. If anyone seems to be abuseing the dragging things out for months and months it seems to be the guys who want to sit in their underwear, drinking, and whineing how nobody wants them after they brag on line how they have gone through a series of lovers.

I am sure there are guys out there that will say well she isn't going to accept me the way I am then forget it. Fine. I don't need some guy who gambles his money away, smokes like a chimney, has to go home early from the date because he is on house arrest, or so he can let his mother's dog out. Or some guy who uses his Mother as a free babysitter all weekend so he can hang out on the golf course rather than face up to the fact that he got his secretary who is not much younger than his own kid pregnant leaving a wife who put him through school. You think I am kidding but this is stuff guys tell on themselves in the first few calls. I am sure it is just as bad the other way. Just seems like there are more and more Frogs & Frogettes out there.

There are too many to reply to everyone individually...and... I wasn't aware replies were necessary on forums.....I know chat rooms work that way but I thought forums were different.

Some kind of acknowledgement is usually given to people who answer you. And generally if someone asks you a question in an email, it is polite to give some kind of response.

I totally agree with all that you said. I think that people are just used to getting something really different in person than what they see online lol. I am new to the whole online thing but I wanted to give it a try because like you it might be nice to talk to someone for a while and getting to know them with out all the physical bs in the way. Which brings me to my biggest pet peeve about this whole online thing: Gentlemen when you start talking to a woman do not ask her about her boobs and sexual prefrences with in 2 minutes of im or on the 2nd email. Seriously, DON'T DO IT. You just make yourself look like an ass who can't get any. We are women if that was what we are truly after we can walk out our front doors and find 10 of you right there and ready to go. Have some class (at least at first). With that being said: Good Luck everyone- may we all find happiness somewhere.

-------------------------My reply
The forum topic lives!! I appreciate your post.

...I didn't know people lying about appearance was a big deal on the web. I don't see the point because if you meet someone then the lie is quickly reveled. I'm not naive...I am aware that there are dangerous people on the web....I watch the news and I will take precautions before I meet anyone.
