So tell me from a girls perspective, how many messages do you get a day, and do you feel like you can be artificially more picky than you would be if a guy approached you on the street? Do you feel that this artificial pickiness actually lends far more superficiality to a potential relationship from the start thereby lowering the connection value you could have.
Here we go - swing postponed due to rain!
Not pickier, per se - you just have access to a lot more people. I wrote my profile, withthe direct purpose of avoiding people who were looking for "an internet cum-dumpster". I made it VERY clear my feelings about douchebags, and people that feel superior.
BAsically, it acts like a set up-by-a-friend type scenario. You already know all the deal-breaker things about someone from their profile. IF they are honest. Most people are not - and therein lies the problem - the dishonest daters.
I met my current boyfriend, who I should just call "life-partner" because that's what he is, on that POF site. The only guy I met in my whole year on there. And he was lovely, and instantly, we were in luuuurve.
I think it was possibly because, by the time our first date happened, we had been talking for weeks. We knew the other person, as best as you can on the internet. And we were both very honest about who we were, and what we wanted.
I don't know about the regular way, I didn't really date that much. Sure, I'd go out. And probably have sex with my long-time Fuck buddy. But I didn't want to date anyone, so I'm not really the best example of comparing real-life dating to interweb.
