Honesty on Myspace

So far, on Myspace I've seen a ton of guys whose profiles look like everyone elses, but when you look at who their friends are- it's all hot chicks. I didn't add him back when he asked to be my Myspace 'friend', but I appreciate his honesty that he's just there for the chicks.

They never give up, do they?

i'll couch this respectfully...

is there any chance you might reconsider meeting for a drink? i won't
mention you know what...

Oh dear.

I'm almost tempted to meet him just so I can write about him some more.

Mmmmm...not that tempted.

Good to know

... I am not alone!

decline of internet dating

http://redtape.msnbc.com/2006/02/the_demise_of_o.html

All the points are pretty valid- but I think the decline came when they jacked up the price. Sorry Match.com. I'm not willing to pay $30 a month to be dissapointed. Fast Cupid's (formerly Spring Street) pay per message is a better model. Airtroductions has the same deal, as do many others. There have been some complaints about fawhich I think are mostly valid, but their system is still better than Match.

However they all should be realizing that most people are just using free services like Friendster and Myspace. Though their not exactly dating site, they do let you state whether you're single and indicate whether you're looking for love.

pet dating

"Date me. Date my pet."

Um. Sorry. I'm not into those kind of freaky three way relationships.

There's a picture on the first page of Datemypet.com showing a guy with a dolphin. I'm not going to click on him, because I'm sure his profile is way funnier in my head than it could ever possibly really be.

The options for matching include 'pet dating'. I know it's just a cute term for finding pets for your lonely pooch to hang out with, but it just sounds wierd.

If they can learn to love...

....maybe I can too...

Airtroductions!

This morning on NPR I heard a story about Airtroductions, the newest (brilliant) idea in the wide, wide world of internet dating. So I, of course had to sign up.

Honestly I love sleeping on planes. I purposely pick the window seat on early or late flights so I can lean against the wall and not subject my fellow passengers to my fly-catching gaping mouth, my drooling and my snores. And I don't want to be woken up if they have to 'Move about the cabin' for any reason. However, I like the novelty of the idea of 'airdating' and I've got 2 trips coming up in Feb., so I figured, "Why not?" My SF trip has a plane change coming and going, so I figured with 6 flights total, my chances of finding a hot seat mate were pretty good.

I filled out the form, posted a picture that was purposely cute, but not too sexy, wrote a few words to sound friendly and interesting, and I waited for my email to be verified.

Once I was in, I posted my flights and then asked Airtroductions to 'Match me'. I was initially excited about the long list of people it pulled up- until I realized that all but one (a straight female- so not even any hot lesbo action possibilities) were just scheduled to be in the airport when I'm there, and not actually on any of my flights.

Maybe the NPR story will spread and by next week I'll be able to find myself an Airdate!

!!!!!!My name isn't meatlog for nothin!!!!!!

This is "Meat Log" he would like a : girl with a tight body. She's gotta be fine. I need a girl who won't care if she wakes up in the morning and cooks me and my boys a big ass breakfast (and cleans the dishes afterwards). Then she would like to give me a back rub and clean my apartment. She must like to get dirty.

His hair is "indesribable" and for ethnicity he proudly says, "Im White". Though it's hard to tell under all that tan...

Oh- and who are his 'boys'? He doesn't have children or pets..so are they his big guns or his balls?

Yay!

See- it wasn't all for naught. He learned! He's still kind of an idiot, but he apologized (sort of).

okay. you are right. i can accept that criticism. i don't think you
are fat, and now that i see that you can construct syntactically
interesting sentences and proffer insightful observations, i suspect you are
actually quite bright. you also have a nice ass and a strange, offbeat sexual
presence, even if it's only a virtual one.

i do maintain, though, that denver is a small, solipsistic and lame
city.
after chicago, new york, and philly, i can't understand getting excited
about this place. boasting about your presence in the denver scene is
slightly bizarre to me, but that's not my concern.

sorry again and best of luck. i will take your criticisms to heart.

My work here is done (for now).

It continues...

Now he's backed down and is begging for me to stop beating on him, awww:

clarification's sake, i don't live with my mom and i do have females in my

don't have a PhD in philosophy; you were way off base.

Hopefully this response will finish it:

Listen, you misrepresented yourself and then asked for sex from a stranger. I was just having a bit of fun at your expense in reaction to your first presumptuous email and your insulting response (I don't like to be called stupid and fat-most girls don't).

I'm just hoping that as a result of my efforts you might be more tactful and respectful in the future.

He's got nothin'

copulation. i like it.

I like to think that translates to- "yes I do live with my parents and I am a pathetic worm. So sorry for bothering you."
