I like how on Tinder the disclaimer is "Not looking for a hookup" and the girls are on at Tinder app

Maybe since your expectations are outside the norm of regular dating sites you need an alternative. Try alt.com

Yeah, I can get the d anywhere. Looking for someone with potential for more than a good lay, though that is important fo sho.

Well, I've been encouraged to sign up for this online dating shizz. Anybody want to do a write-up based on my online personality? Also, I'm also struggling with the idea of "selling" myself and having to load pictures of my mug.

No they're not. We just get banned for stating the obvious.

I can do it for ya. Have had moderate to decent success in the past for what I was looking for at the time. Mostly through Tinder. Kinda awesome being single with a good job and in a major city in your 20s. I was encouraged as well at the time and expected nothing of it. But I ended up enjoying myself for a little while.

So far I have that you are a young to middle age fella that likes haircuts.

And having to sell yourself comes after the mugs. If you struggle with that just give up now. You have to be attractive or at least attractive enough. That is your in. You have to get them to stop for more than 3 seconds on your profile and that's where the selling part comes in.

Don't worry. We got this.

ETA: Oh and I just actually read this thread. I had no idea KWAW was a woman. Spreadsheet updated. Wait so that means Sweet Kitten Feet is the dude right?

Haha. Looking back at this thread, I had no idea that he had a ring and was going propose about 4 days after this post.

47 days to go!

I probably said this already, but I don't want to go back and read everything: Online dating is a good example of "hit or miss". I've done the paid sites like match.com and the dating apps. I met some good people from online dating and dated someone for a while, but it's like shopping for a used car. You know what you're looking for, but you know some cars may be more damaged and less reliable than others. It may take a while to find the right one.

How is this any different than "traditional" dating?

even though you might be correct, I don't think I can pull off being a *****. Maybe I can compromise somehow? Maybe I'll wear a ball cap, if I ever get to go out with one of these ladies.

Thanks for the advice, Eliminatus. I'm going to suck it up and focus on getting a current day picture of myself because without a good mug shot any possibilities are missed.

Yes, chicks LOVE ****s. That's how this business works.

You have a mass selection to choose from and can select more variables that you like in a person and you talk and chat a bit before the first (and subsequent dates). You decide whether to take that "test drive" or not. More variety (bigger pool to choose from and be picky) which means more weeding out.

Whereas in traditional dating, you meet someone and you're limited in the knowledge about that person. You may have been introduced or set up blindly by a mutual friend or met them somewhere randomly and asked for their number.

I thought you were saying traditional dating > online dating because online is so hit or miss. Seems like traditional dating would be even MORE hit or miss because of what you were just saying. So maybe we agree and I simply misunderstood you.

May have been my fault. I am at 2 out of the 3 cups of required coffee intake this morning.

It's nuggets like this you get on dating websites:

Things I can't live without..."My morning coffee." That's some relationship-building **** right there.
