Huh?? Lazy??? So you're saying you have to meet a bunch of bar trash in order to find someone you love, or else you're just lazy. That's pretty weird. Tell me this: What's the difference between an online date and a blind date? People have been going on blind dates for...well, forever. Are blind dates lazy too?
I didn't say go to bars to meet the love of your life. You assume I said: "Go to bars, guys! Don't go online dating!! Whoop-dee-doo! Bars! yeah! I love 'em!!!" I didn't say that, man. You're putting words in my post when I didn't say that. If you truly want me to say where it is you should go to find love, then I would say go to church. OR, just live life like you're NOT trying to find someone to settle down, and she or he will come to you from the "blind" side, pun intended. Yes, blind dates are lazy as well. Did someone else set those "blind" people up? If YES, then it is lazy to go on a blind date.
I just got an email from a chick on one of these sites. She is pretty cute, but on her profile she says she likes nerdy guys. WTF, I never thought of myself as a nerdy guy.
Wow, thanks for the insight on love Dr. Phil. You must be the guru on relationships. Are we all from Saved by the Bell or something? No one is talking about finding love, just finding dates and ways to meet people. You act like people are expecting to fall in love on their first date on their first encounter. And what's lazy about meeting people through online services or blind dates? What are some 'non-lazy' ways and why? And even if it is 'lazy' what's wrong w/ that? If people manage to meet other people and have a good time, maybe date steadily, maybe even fall in love (which I guess you would qualify insincere lazy love perhaps) what does it matter how they meet? If you're interested in meeting somone, the only lazy thing is not trying at all.
I found a post from him that said he wouldn't trade Mobley for Nowitzki, so that's pretty nerdy right there .
Sorry, I got it confused...you did suggest that we should trade Cat for Dirk. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=8262&highlight=Nowitzki+mobley+trade
This one is also funny, many posters (including myself ) saying they wouldn't trade Francis for Nowitzki: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=10677&highlight=Nowitzki+mobley+trade Sorry for going off-topic .
You know when I first looked at that I was thinking that "I can't believe I have been posting here since 2000." And I also couldn't believe I would make a dumb trade thread like that. Then I realized...that isn't me. That is Mr.Clutch, with no space before the C. And also, I didn't become a member until 2002! Looks like your searching skills failed for once, SJC
He just told everybody without meaning to.. At Church, with the padre's blessing.. He might've been "blind" sided by a fortune cookie earlier that day while just living life,that read, "You find love".. Making it a habit to add "..at church" after all fortunes.. It was obvious, she was the one. And according to Swoly-D, this is the formula we all must follow for non-lazy marital bliss..
What if a person is too busy to hit the usual circuit? What if they know exactly what they want and don't want to waste time sifting through date after date? I strongly disagree with your assertion that looking for a compatible mate online is dumb. There are no games. People come out with what they're looking for and don't beat around the bush or double talk like they may feel obligated to do in personal meetings. If anything, going through the old fashioned dating process is a waste of time because you can do the exact same thing from the comfort of your desktop and without having to cover dinner or listen to boring stories and bad jokes!
Thank, Dr. Phil.... All women in church are married already. And the "just wait for it and it will magically happen" theory only works in chick movies. How long are you supposed to "wait" before taking action? Just waiting on it to happen is LAZY. You're lazy. LOL!! No, silly I didn't mean blind people! ahahahaha!!!!!!!!
We met while at a Fiestas Patrias Parade, in the same float for an organization... during the school year at the university where I still work. Then they will be too busy to have the usual "mate" and keep it. If they know they don't want a "club girl", then don't go to clubs. If they know they don't want a single parent, then don't frequent childcares or elementary schools... go to places where you know the ones you DON'T want won't be there. Easy. What is online dating anyway? A shopping mall? Go to the specific store because you know what you want? Again, LAZY. Don't want to take 2, maybe three to 10 dates to really smoothly ask the questions you need to know from your mate... meet their family, etc.? You're lazy... here's your sign! ima_drummer2k... that was pretty good. In response: actually, you're not just sitting there... you're constantly talking to different potential mates... but just treating them as if any of them would be potential mates in the future and a friend NOW... you should not treat them as if you would like to do it right there with them. I didn't say that it wasn't lazy to just sit there. That's lazy already... I meant it from the perspective that the online and other types of "datying" services do all the work for you, is all. Have some respect... not ALL ladies in church are married. OK, forget church... how about at other places...? Why not ask if they really are married? ARE YOU CHICKEN? Why not look at the girl who is there by herself obviously looking single because she's with her friend or by herself...? how about the chick at the coffee shop drinking by herself--never mind, that's my wife --or the chick at the library reading a book? Forget club girls. They're club girls.
I felt that zantabak's post was mentally challenged, so it deserved a mentally challenged response. But thanks for the newsflash. And SwoLy - you just need to stfu on anything related to dating, marriage, etc. because your posts always come across like you are some judgmental *******.
In my own experience it seems like more work. I have to sit there and wade through a bunch of profiles full of stuff that I could care less about like "I really thought Bo Bice should've won Idol." and then decide what I'm going to write back to them. Most of the time it feels like I'm making a job hire rather than looking for a date. I enjoy having a beer at a bar and it feels more natural striking up a conversation with someone I find attractive or vice versa at a bar than reading profiles and responding to emails. That is just me though so others might find it easier.
I actually met someone from myspace.It was great for 3 weeks,but then she reunited with her ex and never heard from her again....eh,i can't complain,she was as good as advertised ...I've come to the conclusion,that online dating leads the league in "rebounding",everyone is looking to crash the boards.
