Online Dating Part 1

What has happened to dating today? All I see is people, beautiful people, ugly people, average people going on websites looking for love. Where have all the socialites gone? Are we breeding more people who will become socially inept? So many questions that are pondering my brain. I am also a victim of online dating. Growing up as a child you either had it or you didn't. It, as I reference as, would be referring to class, style, or just that ability to go up to the opposite sex and talk. How many of us have gone off to watch movies that deal with this sort of topic and start to develop good ideas then fall flat when it comes time for action?

I had the opportunity to try 3 specifically popular dating websites. I must say, it's not a WYSIWYG type of deal. There is more to profiles then the banter of someone showing off the best qualities they have. Wouldn't a more viable approach such as saving the best for last instead of typing about ALL your best qualities. It leaves nothing to the imagination and nothing to look forward to. If I told you what was going to happen word for word, how excited would you be honestly. I am betting not all that worked up. I read lots of profiles.....lies.......inadequacies.....utter nonsense of trying to meet your soul mate. It's rash how many characters they allow you to type. Sometimes people fill in the void by endlessly typing away hoping to not look so, bland. Short and sweet should be the key, like a normal conversation.

I hate to be a downer, but this isn't for everyone. It's definitely not for the millions of users who log on to these sites everyday in search of their "ideal" person. The ideal person you're looking most likely doesn't exist. I am sorry. "I want someone who is intelligent, makes good money, cares about his family, waxes is back and shaves his knuckles.....oh yeh, he has to be hot or cute." Tell me, how does this fit into your description? Oh, that's right, it doesn't. Honestly doesn't exist until years and you have to build trust on top of that. We all need to take the plunge and try it, but we need to mingle. Go out and meet people, humans, not pictures of people you wish to date. I think I would rather be rejected in public then in my living room in my boxers.

For Part 1 of this, it's just a small sample. Next time I plan on giving details about my experiences and about different ways to meet women besides online dating. Happy hunting.
