There are tons of girls on here, but is this a good one to join?

 

[DarienA]

That's where I met my current baby's mama! I also have to 2 or 3 good friends that I've been out with a few times but now just chat with via IM... Yahoo Personals has come a long way from when it first started.. there's definitely a good selection out there... but like anything be it online or bump into on the street.. YMMV.

 

[FortNinety]

I tried it once. I ended up easily the worst relationship in my life (faked pregnancy, restraining order, the whole ten yards). I still give internet dating a chance, but I will NEVER go back to Yahoo personals again.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

omg I have something in common with Darien *attaches heavy objects to ankles & jumps in pool*

Wow, that's awesome Darien.

Yeah she was obviously following their tips or something.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

why is it just awesome for DARIEN? *stomps feet*

 

[DarienA]

Wow, that's awesome Darien.

Yup as a bit more background she's probably the most compatible woman I've ever dated.

She's a Systems Engineer, she's into electronic gadgets(we have so much crap here in the house it's sick... yes we live together now), she's into all the same types of movies(I'm getting her into the sub-titled stuff). She loves video games, console and arcade, we go to Dave & Busters alot(she always kicks my ass in air hockey). She's into cars, she doesn't think comic books are THAT nerdy.... I mean everything I'm in to she's in to..... we were away on vacation all last week. Orlando, Nassau(cruise) and Ft. Lauderdale(not a single argument and we were together pretty much the entire time). Even here at the house we've never had a major disagreement, we simply talk things out.

It's the best relationship I've ever been in and she's now going to have my SPAWN!! BWAHAHHAHA WORLD DOMINATION BEGINS!!!!

 

[radios shipping overview]

Met my girlfriend of 3 years and change on there. YMMV, of course - most of the other girls whose ads I read were too shallow and/or too Mormon (this is Utah, of course).

 

[BoboBrazil]

I'm trying out match.com now. Gonna see how that works first.

I'm so jealous.

Hey, Darien, if you ever need an ego boost, you might want to swing by RSPW sometime. The fact that Alex Cain, Chad Bryant, and the whole kook gang are still arguing over the same shit never fails to lift me up when I'm feeling down.

 

[ItalianStallion]

I hear the Dance Club is also a pretty good place to meet people

 

[Desperado]

My dad and stepmom met via Yahoo! Personals...so I guess it worked out for them. =/

I met my hobag ex who cheated on me. I've had a couple rants about her on her before.

 

[mightynine]

Reading this thread made me curious, so for a lark I went over to Yahoo and did a little search of my own.

Lo and behold, there's my ex-girlfriend.

That amused me for some reason.

 

[Mama Smurf]

You and your wang of justice ruined her for other men. Now she's resorted to online dating to get her fix.

Damn, you must feel awesome!

EDIT: Having just used the stigma attached to online dating about his ex, I feel bad having checked out YahooUK and seen an unbelievable amount of girls living really close to me on it. Now I want to join!

Stigma me up, guys.

 

[jobber]

I'm not paying $20 to talk to some chick. I would have a long time ago.

 

[Agent Dormer]

I was curious and checked my area and there are a fine amount of attractive women resorting to online dating. Is this a new fad?

 

[MrAngryFace]

Id rather have friends set me up since they're a better gauge of who I am and compatibility n all that shit than yahoo.com who manages to pull up porn no matter what words I enter into the search.

Holy sh*t they are STILL there? In f'n credible....

Agent... new fad as in the last few months? No... as in the last few years? Yes....and MAF... you're unmatchable.

 

[Prospero]

I have two female friends who tried online dating, and based on what they told me, I'd say that the online dating game is far more stacked in favor of women, even in comparison to areas like nightclubs, etc. One of these women (who's pretty average-looking) got 30 to 40 responses every single day--another (my next-door-neighbor) wouldn't tell me how many responses she got each day, but she was going out on dates with different guys three or four times a week. I'd guess that some guys just spam every woman on the list that even loosely fits their criteria.

Mmm--there could be an explanation. For example, near where I live there is a music school where the female-to-male ratio is roughly 2:1, and a larger-than-average number of the men are gay--a lot of those girls are on dating services, and they tend to be attractive (after all, they have professional headshots to use as photos).

Hahaha, because I'm bored here at work during lunch I googled RSPW to try to figure out what the hell it meant. I found the Alex Cain faq and have been giggling ever since. GAF's trolling legends pale in comparison!

 

[MrAngryFace]

It takes most people a while to get used to me in person, I come off as a little strange I guess. Fuckers.

RSPW back during the WCW/WWF days... oh man... it was wild.... hmmm you know I think that might have been my boss that Chad email a few years ago... that vaguely brings up a memory...

where do you live?

You are a scary person. I wouldn't let kids or young adults near you.

 

[Spiritreaver]

How long did it take you guys to get responses?

Heh, took a glance at this yahoo personals thing. This is the sum of results for my area:

What's funny is how the whole thing has spilled into real life (i.e. getting someone fired from their job, kicked out of school, etc.) on more than one occasion.

[Willco]

After EvilLore's reply, I decided to take a look at the results. The first people were hella fat. Here was the second page, which was much more promising!
