My take on online dating.

I dwelled into the world of online dating about 2 years ago for the same reasons as most people, I guess: boredom, lack of time, laziness, etc and figured this would be the perfect alternative. I could talk to dozens of women, butt naked if I wanted to and not get arrested for it (again)! Sign me up!!

Well after doing the online dating thing off and on for about 2 years, I've determined that there were 3 types of women on there:

1. Lonely/desperate divorcee
Women who are suddenly thrust back into the world of dating because they can't imagine life without sharing it with someone.... ANYone. This usually leads them to warm up to anyone that gives them any kind of attention and they usually lower their standards to have anyone fill that void in their lives, thus they can be a bit clingy. This only leads to more pain and heartache as they are easy prey for the online predators who know exactly what to do and say to get in their good graces which doesn't take much. Once they are done with them, they are quickly discarded leaving the divorcee even more messed up than before. Needless to say, these types carry a LOT of baggage.


2. Confused/Rebound chicks
These women are usually in the middle of a break up with an off and on boyfriend, lacking the maturity to assess their situation and sort things out with their exes, they impulsively jump into the online dating world during this moment of confusion and usually get involved with the first person who "appreciates" them.
The motives vary. Some truly think that they are ready to move on with this new man in their lives, others have little or no feelings for the "new guy" and are just using them for the classic rebound relationship and/or make the ex jealous.
In either case, they are using the new guy as their emotional safety net since they can't bear the stigma of being alone until they "rediscover" feelings for their ex and thus ditch the new guy.
Again, a lot of baggage comes with this type.


3. Cheaters
Married and bored whores looking for some cock. Enough said.



The rarest type: An honest girl
A girl who means what she says. A girl with no strings or baggage or drama of any kind. A woman who knows what she wants and doesn't drag some poor unsuspecting slob into her twisted world of insanity.
I've heard stories of these types of women in the online personal world, but never encountered one. Personally, i think it's some kind of urban legend.

My conclusion about online dating is that, like the real world, people are full of shit and you should probably look elsewhere if you're looking for something real. However, if you're just looking to get laid by some messed up baggage laden chick then any of these three types should suit your needs adequately. It was an interesting 2 year experiment and I met a couple of cool people, but I decided it's just not for me.
You can have 'em! I'll just stick to the old fashion way... after I put on some clothes of course.

  1. Types twos r the ones I run into the most in real life. I won't bother with a bitch who has a on again off again thing with her x. that's bullshit. I'd hit it a couple of times and drop her ass before she does it to me.

  2. too funny. I think you said it when you said its like the real world anyways. I think these types can also be said about the Guys (probably more of #3 though) Sigh. So I wonder what happens to the rare gals when they enter the online dating world? Or would you suggest I dont enter that place at all?

  3. So, what happens when you meet one of the "honest rare ones" and you jump to label her a "baggage laden chick"? Then you become the one with the issues all over again. The truth of the matter is this: we all have issues. It makes no difference what your gender is. Anyone who's been in a relationship has baggage of some sort. It's just a matter of how aware they are of it and what they're doing to recover from things and move on in life. Dating is a bitch and people suck. Inevitably, you get hurt. It's what you do after that really defines your character in life. Some people wallow in their own misery and can't seem to function without it. It seems as though most people are like this nowadays. It is a rarity to find someone who addresses their issues and continues to strive to better themselves. So, it's not a matter of baggage, it's a matter of what you do about it.
