Definitely this. Would going back to hooking up with randos be fun? Of course, it was a ton of fun when it was happening, but I also remember how sick of it I became after a while. It's totally normal to think how you are.

Both of this. Hooking up is great fun but at the end of the day, i'd really like someone who I enjoy being around and like hanging out with and genuinely enjoy spending my time with.

My problem is that I haven't found someone good enough or that I enjoy enough to do that with.

Do these other people know that's going on? I'll admit I'm old, so there was no texting/sexting back in my youth. However, anytime I started messing around with more than one girl it always came back and bit me in the ass. Is it just assumed that all young people are hooking up with all young people, hence there's less jealousy and stuff like that?

They find out when you call them by the wrong name or show up at the wrong house.

If I was actively going on dates with someone, with the end goal of a relationship in mind, I would not just be "OK" with her hooking up on the side until we made it official.

Would definitely nip it in the bud if I got wind of that.


*assumption this is not a first date but someone you've made your intentions clear to after a few dates*

I don't like thinking l met a great girl, going through all those motions being excited where things could lead...only to find out she was banging some other dude while in the middle of sending her "can't wait to see you again!" text.

Sorry, I assume that people who are bitching about relationship problems with existing sig. others are dudes around here since 99.9% of the time, that's actually the case.

I think my point still stands and still works anyways.

I've started discounting girls who post pictures of themselves covered in color run rainbow bukkake.

Edit: And ones that have sunglasses on in all their pictures.

Pic 1: Group shot with bad lighting
Pic 2: Color run bukkake group shot
Pic 3: Dog
Pic 4: Feet on a pool deck

Marry me?

Dudes do this, too.
I don't want to see a picture with you and a bunch of chicks, I don't want to see a picture of your dog, and I don't want to see a picture of your car. Get your shit together, bros.

Yeah I'm with you here completely.

Pretty much. It was the online dating scene, and I just assumed we all had backups and then backups for the backups.

Yesterday was one of the greatest days of my life. Mary and I went skiing, we made a snowman, she touched my leg...

The only thing I like about Tinder over POF is you don't have to read profiles and such. And more people are willing to message on there. Speaking of which, I've gotten a number off POF and off Tinder. Both are pretty cool girls. Maybe these two won't be flaky and avoid meeting up

this is 100% on point, I know I am so completely lame and shy in this area after a 16 year bad marriage. I totally admit and and am embracing how slow this is going.

What I am most afraid of is that when Mary touches my leg for the first time it's going to be over right then and there.

Shocker alert: my new match on eH absolutely LOVES to laugh. Hmmm...I'm guessing some kind of alien.

If fact she does, though people don't always get it.

Top indicators a chick is super annoying:

1.) Can you keep up
2.) I'm outspoken/say what's on my mind
3.) Laughing's my favorite
4.) Any mention of traveling
5.) Work hard, play hard

Also, what's with "I like to go out but sometimes I like to stay in". Yeah, that's called being normal.

Girls don't try very hard to separate themselves from the rest because, boobs.

It's my understanding they get 20x the action dudes do, right?

Holy shit this is online dating 100% defined.

Almost every girl's profile said the same damn thing. And it was that stuff above.

The most annoying one by far was the tagline "can you keep up?"
