So, what part of the South do you live in?


I live in a very conservative part of Pennsylvania, where my IEP instructor was fired because she was an open lesbian. :/

Toad - Um...I don't think I would be able to handle that. It's a different kind of stupid but still stupid all the same. >.<

I live in an area like that as well. Not quite as bad since there's a college town and a small city in the area. Try www.gk2gk.com. It has lots of nerdy introverted people. It's better than match since only one person has to be a subscriber in order to communicate.

Yeah but what if neither are subscribers? Then no one can message the other. Lame. >.<

Nope because he didn't live around my hometown. The guys at college are a little better with that but I still haven't seen anyone that has really sparked my interest, hence why I turned to OkCupid. If it becomes a paysite, there goes my chance of meeting people until I move somewhere that actually has decent men. Is it so hard to ask to date a guy that's not a cheating scumbucket or a spineless momma's boy? I have yet to date one that hasn't been in either of those categories. [/rant] :/

I'm sure not every single guy is like those kind, around your way. You'll find most guys are like that everywhere you go though. You probably should be able to tell if a guy is a cheating scumbucket, cause he'll most likely be acting like a twat, or being slimmey and overly nice. You've only got yourself to blame if you go for that type.

The ones that would go for me are that way. Good guys just don't like me I guess. >.<

I can't tell when he's being nice vs. overly nice. I've been treated like crap so much that I consider decent behavior that most human beings should do as "nice." Besides, I can't read people very well. I have gotten better in normal social interactions but I can't read as well in romantic situations. D:

Well if you can tell they're that way, just laugh them off. You're probably just not looking in the right places.

When the guy is trying very hard to make out like your his buddy, thats usually a sign. Or using loads of pet names.

Then where are the right places? I've joined clubs and activities, I go to bars, I've tried looking online, so where else is left that I actually have access to? Also, guys don't hit on me in real life. I almost always make the first move (unless it's online, that's the only place where guys have talked to me first), which pretty much says that I am not worth pursuing because if I was, guys would be flirting with me and stuff. :/

I don't know, an evening class for something you enjoy? Clubs and activities is the right idea. I think people usually meet at work, or through work, depending on what you do. Bars are pretty much a no go. Well maybe online is the right way for you.

I work at the Women's Center and the GLBTQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning) Resource Center. So yeah, the chances of me finding a straight man there that I would be interested in are very slim. Also, isn't it considered really bad to date someone from work? I was always told that it never leads to anything but trouble and unemployment. :/

That's why I'm scared about OkCupid charging money for their site. If they do that, they are taking away the ONLY way for me to find love. a**holes.
