THISis why i quit dating sites

Post Reply New Topic

I can tell why she didn'treply. She said she wants a Jewish man and it was important to her, but then you laughed at her and joked about her wanting to be a jew with 10 kids.

Any questions? Plus, eHarmony's Neil Clark Warren was associated with James Dobson's Focus on the Family, and despite being a Christian, I see them as a hate group. I shouldn't do total bashing. An old friend of my mom's has a 30 year old daughter who is married to a pre-med student who the family found on eHarmony, on a profile that the family set up, and not her (I forget if he has his MD already or not).

I'm curious, but has anyone here on WP ever succeeded getting into eHarmony?

This!

It was a slow night last night so I browsed OKCupid again and had to leave within 20 minutes before I broke my computer in two. I even checked out those in the 40+ category and they are just as stuck up and immature as teenagers! One profile I clicked on started like this "Yes, I have a few extra pounds and if you have a problem with it, *get lost." She was also U-G-L-Y and had three kids. If I'm too good for someone like that I'm not wasting my time any more.

Not one female profile I looked at didn't have a comment about what they demand, how tired they are of players, what an $#@hole you are for not accepting a whale, how they know they are wasting their time, they are only there because their friends insisted, blah blah blah and I'M the one who's too negative? Get real!

to be hosfter reading all your messages on pof? i think you did fine until that last message. i wouldnt reply either if i was her.

I temporarily deactivated my OKcupid account the other day. I used it for a few weeks, and it was the first time I'd ever tried one of those personal-ad type sites too. It got very annoying how I kept seeing most of the same people when browsing through the profile list, but I'll probably try again in a month or two.

Keep in mind that you're trying to interact with "uncaring young women" when using a website of this type. Not realizing this is probably the main reason dating sites get so frustrating.

lmao dude this is funny

anyway...I got a reply from her.

Are you a jew?

She made it pretty clear that she is looking for a jew but is having a hard time finding one

C'mon, they can't be that bad. I'm sure they're not that bad - you need to work up a love of chubbier women.

If you don't want them and they're reasonably well groomed and not completely repulsive and/or insane, send 'em my way.

Perhaps she should try Jewish forums perhaps.

And what kind of Jew is she looking for? There are all different kinds. Secular/atheist Jews, reform Jews, orthodox (and ultra-orthodox) Jews, self-hating Jews, left-wing Jews, right-wing Jews, tall Jews, short Jews.

Just looking for a Jewish partner without taking other things into consideration sounds a bit damn pathetic to me if other things aren't taken into account as well.

yes im jewish

I get frustrated with it too, but it is the only way I'm ever going to find anyone as I am not good at just approaching someone in public. I use POF, DH, OKCupid and a couple of free BBW sites. (At least I am attracted to larger women). I have had some nice dates and short term gf's already. And it's a lot harder over 40. So many of them smoke (which I can' stand), have kids (couldn't handle that either) or are too hung up on religion for me. But I keep trying. I also have another strategy (and it already worked once a few months ago) to get women to talk to me. I just wear this to public events mainly in the spring and fall:

Anything that brings attention to you can be a good thing if you know how to use it(you are likely to be approached about it and you can prepare how to handle that sort of situation...)

Id never be able to wear a shirt like that because Im too self conscious but if you prepare a couple of replies for different situations on which you may be approached about it it could do wonders. I personally like to use smaller things to capture people´s attention(use a death note instead of a christian cross which can be a great conversation starter among the right people...)) but if you are comfortable with it its a great way to express your intention.


A while ago I was having a discussion about why some people thought dating sites were so great with a few other members, the best reply we could come up with is that you both know why you are there and it should help with the whole I dont know if the other person is single... situation that stops people from approaching others. You have that covered in real life and I think it could be a great idea as long as you dont make a huge deal about the shirt(google chris chan girlfriend and it should clear up what you need to avoid)

What's wrong with fat ugly girls? Have you taken the time to talk to them and find out what they're like?

I would like a girlfriend, but the dating sites I've been on are either for people who just want to f**k or are kind of slow. I can meet girls in real life but I think most of them are boring and to get them to want to talk to me I have to put in a lot of effort. The low return rate on my effort makes me kind of loath to start interactions. I wish there were an advertisement I could wear that said exactly what I was looking for so that I don't have to talk to 50 girls before I find one that fits well. Maybe I will put an advertisement on a shirt; I'm ShamelessGit.

You're funny
