I once agreed to meet this very good looking guy- in pics that is- that I chatted with for a while online.
We met and I didn't know where to run faster. I made up an excuse and bailed home after 30 minutes of him blabbering about how beautiful I am..and how he used his friend's pics to meet women...pathetic piece of sh**..he kept calling me for weeks until I got sick of him and his "eternal love" speech and put my dad on the phone.
Years later I met my soul mate online and we are happily married now  |
I could never figure out that tactic: lying about what you look like, your height, your age, your weight, etc. I think a lot of guys figure women view men as a fixer upper house. You know, you've invested X amount into this project, you don't want to walk away. Sure he's nothing he said he was, but I've invested months chatting with him, so I may as well give it a shot. |

Amazing how many us here used to work in college radio ...
Muffin's story is the best so far, and I predict it will not be beat... |

| You should get a picture of a woman or man before you meet. It is a waste of time to just go based on what was said. People need to be attracted, not repulsed. |

| Well, having a picture is no guarantee!! I'd met a guy online, exchanged pics, phonecalls and emails. Seemed great...agreed to meet. He was ok...a little dull, but ok. He invited me to his house for dinner. Sure. I went...and THEN I found out that he was a "momma's boy" even though his mom had been dead for 5 years!! He almost had a fit when I put my (bare, clean) feet on the sofa..."Hey, this was my moms!" He was compuslive about EVERYTHING!! I said goodbye. When he called, I was straight with him and said that I didn't think that things would work out between us. So...looks AREN'T a guarantee of success!! I would have rather gone out with a FUN red-headed, freckled potato!! |

I'm wild about ginger-haired men. One of them sat near me on the subway, and I got so flustered a friend asked if I was ill. 
By the way, if you are reading this and you are a tall, red-haired young man wearing a pastel scarf on your way to Hongdae last weekend, in case it wasn't utterly obvious, I officially heart you. |

I've met exactly one sex partner elsewhere.
Granted, all the internet girls were arguably fat.
I miss a busy craigslist. |

I have a story about a woman who arranged a date online obviously not on cam, or perhaps on a bad quality cam.
My ex-boyfriend was standing in our town centre outside a bookshop called WHSmiths. Suddenly a girl accosted him 'oh you must be Steve!' she said. Before my ex could reply, she continued 'you said you would be outside Borders' (another bookshop about 100 metres away).
Ex b-f not one to miss an opportunity replied 'oh sorry about that' she continued 'and you said you would be wearing green trousers'.
'Yeah I changed my mind,' said naughty ex b-f. 'Anyway I will treat you to coffee' said the intrepid internet dater. 'Okay' said ex b-f. As the date continued and his information continued not to match her expectations, the dopey girl said 'you lied about everything!'
'I guess so' agreed ex b-f.
At the end of the morning they said their goodbyes and agreed to continue their 'friendship' online. Whether the real Steve was left waiting faithfully outside Borders we will never know. Anyway ex-b-f came home mightily amused with himself.
The best of it is he was Iraqi and how she confused him with someone called Steve who presumably spoke (or typed) fluent English is difficult to imagine......
r u from Melbourne by any chance?

No I am not from Melbourne, I am a whinging pom and have never set foot in the Antipodes. I should also correct my original post being strictly pedantic - ex-b-f IS Iraqi and alive and kicking. |

There is no guarantee with anything, now is there? Even if you dated a guy for months and even married him and you were with him for years.
As far as him freaking about your bare feet on the sofa, I knew a girl who freaked out when her boyfriend did that on her sofa. I am not sure I would care. But, I do remember being on a date with a girl and she had her feet up on the other chair in the cinema. I did think it was kind of tacky. I like red heads, but I really don't care if she is a brunette or blonde, though I've only gone out with brunettes my whole life unless you count a sandy blonde as a blonde. I can understand why you broke up with the guy. I'd rather have a picture than no picture. |

Just read my last post - I really haven't got the hang of posting a quote within a quote! What a mess....Must really preview before posting!
Anyway a positive story about online dating. I fell in love with my husband-to-be on webcam although I had already met him a few years previously. He had been one of my students for a brief month and my 'in person' memory of him wasn't that clear.
Well the big day came to fly to his country and be met at the airport. We were both pleasantly surprised because on cam we looked heavier and our noses looked bigger!
In real life we looked slimmer, younger and better looking |

My roommate's story takes the cake (former uni roommate):
Our uni had a sort of in-house intranet system back in the late 80's and early 90s. Every computer had a number printed on a paper stuck to the monitor-- the first three digits were the building, and followed by a dash, then three more digits. It was not uncommon for guys to walk around through the buildings and happen to see some hottie typing on the computer somewhere. Those of us who knew how could easily "telnet" a message to that particular computer and start chatting with that person. (This was a few years before Windows 3.1 became popular).
We often would try to pick up women this way, and it often worked. I met my first Korean female this way. I remember her name was Park something something, and her family owned a small amusement park next to the Han River. I got to know her a little bit, and she let me borrow her camcorder for a few days before she jetted back to Seoul -- never seen again.
Anyway, my roomie's story was the best. Scary. Horrible. But worth a laugh. He picked up some random girl he'd never even seen by typing in random numbers and just trying to strike up chats with random females. You didn't get to see their photo -- it was all by chance if you met.
He ends up talking this girl into having some beers at midnight at her place. He went over there with a six-pack, and was pleased to see she didn't look half bad. One thing led to another, and after getting drunk, things got a little heated. They ended up making out on the floor, and as he rounded 3rd base, he noticed something very, very wrong. This girl was not just a girl. She was also a guy! Not a transgender -- she was both! The woman had been born with a tiny male part, as well!
My friend stopped picking up random people after that. Quite an odd story, but true nonetheless. He felt sorry for the woman, but was pretty freaked-out, as I recall. |

Yes Adventurer he is Turkish (T�rk), thanks for trying out your Turkish and your good wishes.
BTW so many people warned me about Turkish men before I left Korea and my Korean male colleague was really really annoyed and told me I should be very careful bla bla! Also surprising is that people from certain English-speaking countries are under the impression that Turkey is an Arab country! Some people thought I would have to wear a hijab haha. I would like to put everyone's minds at rest and tell them that Turkish men are the same as any others and shock horror even help with cleaning and cooking these days.
Actually Turks are surprisingly similar to Koreans in some ways but that would be another thread.... |
