You guys date the wrong women.
B-2 Bombers have big engines though.
Just sayin’.
Seriously.
Also, my favorite retort to the “women are crazy!” crap that guys spew:
Mightynute’s First Rule of Dating: All women are crazy, except the ones that aren’t.

I’m usually the one carpet bombing the women HEYOOO
I am pretty sure OKC’s quiver will be matching me up with farm animals or cacti soon. Two of the latest to show up:
Not so fast, though! There’s a second special someone on offer:
Back on the local scene, I met someone yesterday morning over coffee and we had a nice chat. We exchanged ‘real’ e-mails, so we’ll see what happens there. Feels like ‘new friends’ territory to me, but you never know. A second person I was to meet today bailed last night after getting ‘not so good news’ from home (like most Vancouverites, he was not born here) but we may reschedule. I have a few more messages going out and am trying to arrange to have some pics taken that do not present me as an unsmiling robot!
I mentioned to a fellow would-be-date that I had been getting a lot of profile views from 20-somethings and he opined “That’s what happens at our age. They all hit on us and no one our own age wants us because they’re all hitting on them.” I don’t think this is entirely inaccurate.
Also, how many times does someone need to look at your profile before you think they are being coy and want you to send them a message because they are shy/dysfunctional? Twice? Three times? More?
Three times. Twice might mean they accidentally stumbled onto your page again. You don’t do that three times in a short span.

My takes about online dating…
Ive been part of internet since before it was called Internet. I often hear “Damn dude! You dont know if they are really that age, or really blond, or really that bust size, or really even a she!”
And my response was… Have you dated lately? Whats the alternative? A noisy bar? You cant have any conversation or find anything out. And as far as what you can see… you take home someone you have barely said 10 words to then they start taking things off. All of a sudden you find out they arent that young, arent blonde, arent that bust size, and maybe arent a she."
Id rather have a ton of conversations online first. Its possible to hide some things but I do think you get to know the person. Of course, like anything on the net when you first have a real contact always do it where cameras and guns are present. Banks are a good idea for first encounters whether its to buy, sell, or just get to know someone. The video is stored long enough just in case.
This is awesome! What comic is this?

Thats good. But personally I like my comedy musical. To go with that comic maybe…
Parody of “I only want to be with you” called “You’re Homely but I’ll Sleep With You”

The one that will ruin your sense of good taste forever.
In two days I am meeting the guy whose profile I linked back in post #1976, which was on November 9th of last year.
You’re right, in that I don’t see a huge difference between meeting people online and meeting people in bars. The advantage of bars is you get a feel for chemistry and how they are in person. The advantage of online is you get to see their mind a bit more first. But I completely disagree with your assessment of what it’s like to meet people in person (i.e. a bar, or whatever). You don’t, you know, have to go home with someone you meet in a bar, or even try. In fact, I’ve met scores of girls in bars, and only taken like one or two home that night. Much more common, and sane, is to get a phone number and follow up later. Just like online.
He has a cute sense of humor. I approve.
Plus he’d be able to illustrate Ned’s stories, which is a plus.
I should point out we’ve been chatting across two dating sites since last November. He’s backed out of meeting a couple of times so it could happen again. Kind of a funny guy, in every sense of the word.
