[QUOTE=katemary;1010654]yeah.
and I also don't understand why chip in "ffs you are projecting" instead of 'hey ladies, you misinterpreted what he meant". The unnecessary aggression in that response suggests that he is in fact projecting. (and ummm, waiting for the alleged correct interpretation).
anyhoo. the insight of a completely different 'lifestyle' is interesting and not what I expected[/QUOTE]
Because she's been so bitter lately.
[QUOTE=Danielfire;1009888]Awww shucks, I just wanna play, I'm not getting fussed about what level I am or what level she may be.
Hey katemary, have fun and just think sex is great exercise, don't stress about the weight. Just be honest about it.
and ummm, if you create a profile, let me know huh? lol :p[/QUOTE]
oh I missed this. Ha!

[QUOTE=Tribal Rob;1009932]Only regret what you did do, not what you wish you had done.
Though sometimes you meet someone, fall instantly in love, and 6 years and 2 kids later you are still together, oh BUGGER!! :D[/QUOTE]
bugger!
[QUOTE=bloodorchid;1010586]my problem was a large man complained about large women on dating sites 'shooting too high' when picking a sex buddy[/QUOTE]
I think his point was that everyone "shoots too high".
It's why being single is tough. We all want someone "above average", whether that's looks, wit, income, whatever. The problem is the math doesn't work.
This problem is magnified on dating sites. In real life there are plenty of subtle suitability cues that can lead to people towards each other, online people have a check list.
I'd also add that I think online dating is particularly bad for dudes. If you can approach a gal in real "meat life", you've probably put yourself ahead of 90% of the other guys. If you've got a little charm and self-assurance, you're in like Flint, even if you're carrying some extra pounds and live in mom's basement.
Online, however, you're just another perv hiding behind a keyboard. You'd damn well better be Brad Pit with a degree from Harvard Law.

ETA: some people are posting relevant and interesting things...the rest of it is like a script for Idiocracy

LOL. How to win friends and influence people.
Why not get a feel for the forum and the kind of banter that goes on amongst long standing friends, esp in threads lending to random conversations, before making such a rude, unnecessary, judgmental, bitchy observation about the place.
FWIW I found the recent discussion fascinating to have frank insight into things not normally discussed so openly. That is why forums can be great. Even if I have nothing to add, I was interested.

+ 1000
If there isn't inane banter and chat about bizzare and random things, what the hell is going to keep experianced people coming back to the forum to answer all the questions by the newbies. If you look in the other pages it's 90% + serious and sensible, people are happy to answer questions and discuss serious topics with new members and old hands alike. Shooting the shit is pretty much kept to the odds and ends, and that's fine every forum needs a banter space.
Seriosuly have you been on the internet before?
