Proof that vegetarians are generally better people.
I've heard that meat makes your sex juices taste disgustingly horrid. Maybe the increased pleasure is because that's true.

I think it was a fake. Still no reply.
Well you are what you eat. Eat more fruit and pineapples and such and it will be sweeter.

Any ideas for more good "Pizza or sushi" style messages?
"If you had a lifetime supply of a snack/junk food what would it be?"
"If you had one superpower what would it be?"
If their profile states they drink alcohol: "Beer or wine (or hard liquor)?"
I've had varying success with these. Although sometimes I drop them into the middle of conversations if the conversation at hand starts to die out. In fact the beer/wine one I've only used if I've been talking and know they drink. Don't think I would send that out as my first message.

Been a little while since I deactivated my profile. It's been good imo so far.
Not sure how long I should go before reactivating it, if ever. Thoughts?

Crazy ass update
holy fuck
So I got:
Multiple responses on okcupid (nothing really going anywhere)
A girl responding to me on POF (out of the blue she randomly int he middle of a regular conversation starts COMING ON TO ME. WTF)
A girl who messaged me on geek2geek finding out I play SWTOR, rolling a character on that server just to talk to me while she plays, then eventually CALLS me and it nearly ends up being phone sex
What. the. fuck. Women be crazy around the holidays.

What the hell Ashodin, you got game!
update for myself. I either fail @ hot/cold chasing or she's really busy. So girl that was up for going out again this week. (like she was totally game to go out last sat even if I wasn't for the fact I was working) told me that she's going to be busy for the next couple of weeks now and doesn't know when we could get together.
sigh, back to the drawing board!

Got something scheduled for friday, going out for drinks and dancing, after a previous meeting some weeks ago for some major shopping - she'd earlier mentioned it would only be possible by January, so I'm taking this as a good sign.
Also, extra motivation to tidy my place until then, you never know...

I been there. Where I wanted to go on a date with a girl but a week before we supposed to go out I bailed. Only bailed because I sabotage myself, and I did it only because, well I just didn't want to go.
Alrighty, hopefully I have the fortitude and patience for round 4... Help please!

My previous profiles weren't that great according to my friends who I asked for help to make a new one, only for them to make some rather uncomfortable half-truths for appeal.
This profile I quickly filled out but, I plan to complete more. What are some good tips? Last 20 pages had a few quick ideas, and the OP was of no use.
Does the rating system actually affect potential search candidates? If so, I'll be willing to help others overcome this ridiculous system if the notion is returned in kind.
Thanks

More pictures like the first one, less of the second (where you look dour), if you have them. Remove third picture entirely, the "halloween" costume context was only apparent to me after scrolling all the way down to the the bottom, and besides that, it will auto-appear as a thumbnail when they mouse over your picture in your profile, making you look like you're larping or something. Your first picture minus the glasses would be pretty damn good, the five-o-clock is working well.
You already took my advice on leaving video game mentions to your profession. GJ
Instead of saying Science Fiction and Fantasy are my preferred genres, say like, "Blade Runner and Game of Thrones," etc.
Girls love Game of Thrones, but (mostly) they don't go around saying "OH I LOOOOOVE THE FANTASY GENRE"
She's also not as responsive as I would like a potential gf to be when texting. Like she'll leave me hanging and I'll have to text again like the next day or something. Not a big deal, but just doesn't make me excited.
Sometimes I wonder about that, isn't that on the more clingy side though? I mean I prefer that they're more responsive too. . .
I really hate these games on when to reply and how often to reply D:
I guess. I prefer a girl to be clingy than not though, probably because I'm clingy too. I dont believe in holding back who you are (such as texting a lot) just so you dont seem a certain way.
I'm wondering if that's the mistake I made recently. I've been totally holding back and playing it waaaay too safe. But it'd seem really desperate and pathetic to attempt anything at this point with the girl I messed up on. But anyway I'm along the same lines too, definitely would be clingy and would want them to be too.
sigh.
So the girl who canceled on me last week because she was sick and rescheduled the date for tomorrow, just deleted her account on the site. We rarely texted since she didn't have a smartphone, so we mostly kept the conversation on the site. Great, long responses by both of us also.
Figure I'll shoot her a text, but not having a good feeling. Feels bad man.
I know I should just move on to the next, but with how much we clicked over messaging it sort of crushes me. Ugh, fuck online dating for these reasons. 2nd girl this month who has done it.

Huh? If she rescheduled already for tomorrow then what's the big fucking deal? She probably deleted her account because she was sick of receiving all of the messages from skeevy dudes on there.
Why on Earth would this make you feel bad?
Communications sort of dropped off since she canceled last week. She sent me a message on Saturday and that's it. Also hasn't responded to my text asking if we are still on tomorrow. It also wasn't a solid reschedule, she said Thursday would be the next time she's free, but nothings set in stone.

Haven't got a message in a while, so I found someone with a "typically masturbating to midget porn on a Friday night" and sent this:
Hey, I see you also like midget porn and wanted to know if you can recommend me anything regarding it, as I'm new to this genre. It's quire refreshing to see such small creatures go one on one with each other.
Yes, I'm desperate.

The true answer is fuck this shitty question who gives a good god damn.
Welllllll if the person literally cannot figure out the right answer, I might be skeptical of her intelligence. I dont need a super smart girl or anything, but that's like elementary stuff.

Much obliged. Anything you would change?
Not an expert by any means, but your profile looks fine to me. It's short and to the point with good photos, and it makes you sound like a really cool dude. I'm not worried about your love life.
One tiny detail though: I don't think you need to say "(let's face it, it's all pretty pop culture these days)" about geek culture at all. It gives a hint (just a hint) that you're not entirely comfortable with what you like and feel the need to justify your tastes. Your profile oozes self-confidence, so you don't need that. But again, it's a tiny thing that most people won't even notice I'd wager.
No, I was just high lol. Oops. Need to double check my answer on the site now...

Hmm, I feel pretty bad ignoring some of the messages I get (for the sake of the fucking reply status). Some of those girls really make an effort (reply with tidbits from my profile, try to reflect on my interests).
/I feel bad because I know that feel - although I never put a great effort into the first msg.

Yeh pretty sure that's what I put but for some reason it took me ages to work it out. Like a ridiculous amount of time. I knew what they were looking for but I kept confusing myself. That's what I get for not writing it down and trying to do it in my head. But I'm definitely not mentally deficient!
Next crazy update
this is all real I SHIT YOU NOT
Girls on okcupid go nowhere
Girls on POF go nowhere
The girl I was dating is kinda flaking off, whatever, let's just be friends (ok cool)
Girl from gk2gk.
We start talking. really talking. Find out so many things about us click. Line up.
She and I talk until nearly the sun comes up.
We talk again the next night. She is enamored with me so much she wants to
BUY A FUCKING PLANE TICKET FOR ME TO COME SEE HER.
She reassures me that it is okay, and says I wouldn't be taking advantage of her. She apparently has a cushion-y job that allows her to have gobs of disposable money. So being that I have no strings to tie me down here any more (broke up with that girl), I accept.
She wants me to come see her next month.
The lowdown: she's super nerdy, into MMOs, clingy (just like me), and passionate to the core. She is incredibly selfless, genuinely wants to care for me when I told her about my skin conditions that I have, and is grateful she ever found me. I'm not into taking people's money (never have been), but after talking with her the past couple days, I can't ignore the unmistakable comfort and attraction between us over the phone/internet. It's like pieces of me fit pieces of her and vice versa. She's said that no one has made her felt the way I make her feel, and it's something she's been wanting for a long time. She's said things to me NO OTHER GIRL has ever said to me. EVER. Things I've always wanted to hear.
I really think this could be it, guys.

Thanks a ton for the feedback! I'll make the correction in the morning.
It stunned me too man. I normally would be all stop, reverse course but I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by seeing her.
Needless to say you are now bound by NeoGAF law to keep us updated. Regularly.
