I met my wife online. We've been married coming up on nine years.

I understand that part of the peculiar nature of dating online is, you don't have the ability to "weed out" those not well suited to you before you go out. You can usually size up a date pretty quickly in a few minutes, and for the one doing the asking - sometimes you don't bother to ask. You know already, it ain't going to work out for you.

I sure had my share of those, dating people online. I must have dated half a dozen where I knew within seconds - I'm not going to enjoy this one that much. While my first date with my wife had its moments - mostly on her side, because *I* certainly wasn't the ideal date that night - I felt a connection right away.

But I approached dating online with a ferocity I have rarely had since, for anything (except maybe adoption). I had a former gf coach me, encouraging me and helping me through the mistakes and pitfalls of dating complete strangers.

-------------------

That said, Match.com did absolutely no good for me, as did a couple other sites (I joined about 8 or 9 of them). I don't know why, but nothing on their site ever panned out for me.

...and then I find out he's (insert username here) on the forums. :twitch:

And you know, in all the years I've been on this forum and all its predecessors - I have never met someone in person that "happened" to be here, online. As in, oh, you post on the forums? What's your name online? Nothing like that, never.

Well maybe that one time. But no, it doesn't happen. This place ain't as popular as I like to think.

Question. When the Sports Illustrated swim suit issue came out did you look at Kate Upton and go "Damn!"

Maybe I shouldn't admit this but, I lost interest in soft porn a long time ago. Where I take my bike, they do a hot local models calender every year. They all but made me take the damn thing. Again, all I see is kids.

Because they're desperate to connect....with ANYONE, they don't really care who. Makes me want to tie them down and blow Swisher Sweets cigar smoke right in their face until they choke to death.

Swisher Sweets rock :yay: I haven't smoked a cigarette in 2 years, maybe longer but I do enjoy my Swisher Sweet cigars a few times a day. Cheyenne reds are pretty good too!

I smoke those as well. I quit ciggy's about 15 years ago.

Or they just may enjoy second hand smoke!

I think of it as shopping without a list - you come home with all sorts of weird things you didn't mean to get. Whereas if you go out with at least an idea of what you're looking for, you don't end up bringing home crap off the sale rack that doesn't fit and is the wrong color, but hey! It was only $5!

This is why women (and men, I suppose) are always trying to "change" their mate - they didn't get what they wanted in the first place.

Good on admitting! That's the way should be!

Dang, Vrai and Larry! Well, have no idea why you two split but maybe down the road you two will find each other again.

Speaking of smoking.......................how's quitting going for you?

Why? They like each other now and seem perfectly content with being apart. :shrug:

Yes. And that's fine. Just to me they go together, like cinnamon on apples or the butter on my grits. Also, both are seasoned...know each other. They both are good people.

Trying to meet a new....especially this day and age....not easy. Most men are gross.

JMHO.
