Finding your next relationship

I met my "Wife Version 2.0" online at OK-Cupid. I asked her out for lunch at a local pizza place near us.

My 7 year old daughter at the time, said this when she saw the app on my phone. She said, "What's it for?" I said, "well, it's a dating app. You use it to meet people to go out on dates."

And then she said, "ok. And if you don't like the girl, you can tell her OK-Stupid."

Truer words have never been spoken.

Still looking. My experience has been kinda like clearing a minefield looking for a diamond.

It truly has been a waste of time also.

I think its taking an emotional toll too.

Dude , I’ve dated a few girls after my divorce. After all the work I’ve put in, I’m finding that my solitude is gonna take one hell of a gal to compete with .

Or marriage?

NOPE, if you haven't yet learned that marriage is a losing proposition, you are going to be taken in whatever arrangement you wind up in.

My own path lacked the dogmatic “did the self work”. I reconnected with my HS sweetheart bc the online dating world terrifies me.

Always to court and never to wed is the happiest life that ever was led.

The poon will drip directly to your doorstep if you hit the gym, upgrade wardrobe, and improve hairstyle. Very simple. You’ll meet hoes at the gym, in the Jamba Juice line after the gym, in the produce section where you’re buying healthy food for your hot gym bod, at the pool where you’re peacocking your hot gym bod, etc. etc.

Apps are easy pickings if you follow this advice otherwise they are barren.

I have tried Facebook Dating and what a chit show that is. One girl I matched with turned into a nightmare as she showed up to our date looking like her profile pictures were from 5 years and about 50+ pounds ago. What’s worst is she showed up looking like she just rolled out of bed. I was a gentleman but inside I was what would make people do this? Now I ask them before the date which profile picture is their current one and also just meet up for a drink or coffee the first time. So many you start talking to and then all of a sudden they delete their profiles…it’s like WTF?!?!?

Apps. In person. Friends of friends. Read dating for men. Great advice in that book.

Setup and introduced by mutual friends and met at a community event. Pretty old school…I know. Still haven’t had the chance to experience online dating, but it seems like a good option. If I wasn’t seeing someone seriously I’d consider it for sure.

Not trying to fly anybody down, but was always curious as to what motivates divorced guys to date after being in a terrible condition (the marriage you left) for a while. Is it just loneliness? The lack of sex? May be I am just weird for having no desire to date a woman...

Not looking but if I meet someone naturally and it clicks then it clicks. No dating apps

I skipped the relationship part of everything and threw half of my money and belongings away. It just seemed easier that way.
