I think I've exhausted my list of potential dates on OKCupid. I think I've e-mailed everyone who could possibly interest me in the area. Over about a year, thats twenty-five messages sent, which is apparently very low for online daters. Some guy posted on the forum that he had sent thirty e-mails over the past month, which, judging from the responses to his post, is pretty normal. My own endeavor netted four replies, two dates, one of which lead to a brief relationship. So, that's slightly less than a 15% reply rate, which I understand is better than average (5-10%). I guess I did pretty well in those terms. Unfortunately, the number of available women on the site, in this town, seems to be very low and I think I've run out.

Recovering catnip addict, (yahr) Member  |
About 5 years ago, I tried:
Match.com Lavalife eHarmony (was just in its infancy) Yahoo Personals Craigslist Bah to all of them. Everyone (with the exception of me) lies about their age. Everyone (again with the exception of me-I got "you look better in person than in photos") looks better in their photos (so I'm a bit shallow-I live in L.A.-whaddya want?). The only thing that this was good for was to make me comfortable meeting strange people in public places-I'm usually a wallflower in social situations. However I hear other people saying how fantastic it is to online date. One friend was telling me how she could have great brunches and dinners all the time when she was broke. Punkyfins-I haven't read this whole thread, but if I remember correctly, you have a gorgeous movie star face, as well as an amazing intellect. This probably intimidates and scares the guys away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun...

Ooh. That's not nice. I was done over by someone who had a similar philosophy. ---------  |

I signed up for match.com again. Why are the majority of people on that site so white-bread boring?

Have you ever tried fastcupid.com? It's been awhile, but when I used it, I was able to find people who had actually read a book or two and had an interesting thought from time to time. (I was using it through their partnership with Salon.)

Yeah, I tried that for a while, through the Onion. I met one girl through it, but I wasn't terribly interested. I might give that one another shot.

I do hope not! My intellect is limited to what was the name of that movie again? You know... the one with the one guy...?" and my face looks like i've been smoking for 15 years. If guys are gettin'scared of me, it would be very bad news for the store.... but thank you! *blushes more* ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~ -Royko |
