Hey, nothing wrong with using the Internet to try to hook up! Right? Even random Bitch forums. Right?
I don’t consider it any worse than other options, like hooking up with some stranger at a bar or club. Other options include work, school, or meeting through friends, but I hate everyone at work, don’t go to school, and don’t have any friends so that’s not an option for me.
Mr. Luthor? Care to chime in buddy?
I think he’s probably too busy with ‘Living in Halifax’ at the moment.
No computer at seadogs?
are you implying that something is wrong with the people read the coast. ever thot of that fishy thing.you meet them, they are not what you expected either. leave us poor miserable fucks alone. if you don’t do the sites, then you need not complain. if a dude, with a tude like that, no wonder you are rejjected. if a honey, hang on, q. will be with you shortly, or myself.
hey hog, just lots of laps for tops, hehe.
A lot of those girls are pretty cute, so cute I can’t get over how cute they are and yet are single. WTF?
I met a guy on a trip to England while I was there for one week. We kept in touch, he visited me in the US and we’ve been dating for 2 years now. He’s still there and we are moving to Halifax in May to finally be together. It sounds stupid and weird as anything, but to us it isn’t so I don’t judge how anyone meets anyone anymore.
I know some people on that site…
it’s the cute ones that are crazy…. that or secretly WANT to be alone.
or both.
how many cats do you own again???
For those that want to use them I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dating sites. I see them more of an opportunity to pre-screen people before you meet someone. If someone frightening contacts you you feel a lot less obligated to tolerate their weirdness than if you met in person. You don’t have this option if you’re out at the bars and some crazy dude/lady old enough to be your dad/mom starts chatting you up.
There’s the Hill by night, and Starbucks by day.
katiescarlet, let me intorduce you to my friend q., he seems to be an upstanding dude. and hey, then there is always moi. i don’t bite, hard or much.
katiescarlet, run.
run like you have african beez stinging your ass and are being chased by a drunken Andy Dick ready to grope your rack as a ‘joke’.
run like you drank a bottle of exlax and need to use the only toilet you see in the far, far distance.
run like you’re racing a kenyan to an all-you-can-eat buffet….
just go.
don’t look back… LS and Q will still be here boinking their keyboard at every poster who claims to have tits.
you almost already have digital herpes… just get out before you contract it literally.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Gee, I don’t know OP, perhaps they’re tired of meeting too many stuck-up, prejudicial, self-important twits like you at the bars.
Met the gf on that fishy site. It’s been 7 months. Neither of us are desperate or sketchy. I’ve met girls offline that have been sketchier.
ZZZ…thanks. You hit the nail on the head. I think I already have digital herpes from Q e-humping my profile picture.
Giggity-giggity. 8D
I haven’t tried the online dating thing, but I will say I don’t blame folks for giving it a go — it’s HAAAARD to meet people in Halifax, in my experience.
How do you [couple’d] people DO it? *sigh*
PK— I was my fiancee’s supervisor at work… Thankfully she was a seasonal employee.
I don’t see the stigma behind online dating. As if meeting a guy/girl at a bar is any better, yet that doesn’t seem to carry the same stigma.
My cousin met his wife online; they’ve been together for close to 10 years, married for about 6 and have 2 kids! It can work!
There’s a guy on the site who I know to have anger issues, including knocking the *#&% out of his former ex while her kids were in the house. He’s supposedly “all better now”, but I wouldn’t talk to him. Ladies, if a guy seems creepy at all on this site, just walk away…
Heh…how would the kid feel knowing they were a virus or crash away from not being birthed…
dino,excuse me, but it isn’t a buick, it’s a classic 1996 lincoln mark 7, and as to that perv watch whatever, wrong guy . my name is gary, not george. you got a fucking problem there bud. anyway, i would not boink you for money or love, so you can forget that. most times i’m too busy for a honey, and i just fuck with some of you people. better ask the buddy you named if he is going to sue your fucking ass, if he ever comes on here. get your fucking facts straight next time.
greasy gary…
thank god you changed your shitty car profile pic… even if you did resort to peopleofmacdonalds
and Dino, the cure for digital herpes is typing M E D S and hitting ctrl+shift+up arrow.
may cause nausia and disorientation.
crap, that’s ctrl+alt+up arrow
why do I constantly click through the edit screen?
grr
what the fuck is up your ass zzz, what have i done to you? nothing that i can’t remember. and by the way, that car i have, is a lot more solid than any any piece of shit tuner shitheap. also a lot more oomph to it. not too mention looks. pimps would love to have one.
LS… I dunno… just being a shit disturber.
I take back the shitty car comment.. I’m sure it’s reliable and you’re ‘proud’ of it…
at least you have a car… I don’t think I could take it if you were constantly posting on public transit as a strife that you encounter regularly.
just ease up on the “come on’s ” and I’ll focus my attention on the ‘herb’an planner next.
Sadly Q no. I have not been with ML…..not unless he was the guy I hooked up with at random at lunch yesterday.
sounds fair zzz, but you gotta know, that i kid around a lot. anyway, most of the chicks on here wouldn’t be able to handle me. later.
oh, you’re fierce…. like a tiger….
we all kid around. 🙂
I think we need to gather a shitload of mattresses and ropes and build a wrastlin’ ring, Trailer Park Boys style…. LS, you and zZz can hop in and duke it out, blow off some steam and settle this once and for all. zZz… i nominate you to be the Green Bastard. LS….. I dunno… the only one I can compare you to is JRoc. But we already have a BRoc. You can be Randy.
Ok, if LS and zZz are gonna redneck wrestle, then the chicks should mud wrestle… or pillow fight… or something… I dunno.
Anyways, on the topic (Hali Match) I love browsing that site. I’m not looking for anyone (I’s taken), but it’s funny goin “I know you, and you, and you, and–” so on
great MS…. way to ruin the fantasy for me (U’s taken)… haha. Ah well, taken or not, I agree 100% with your suggestion of chick fighting. I think it should be a pillow fight in mud…. actually no, instead of mud make it warm chocolate syrup. That way us male spectators can always have a good reason to steal your towels…… 😉 Although having to work around the feathers might be a challenge………
I think it should be a clear liquid…
go old school and make it ky wrestling!
and I only know one person on that site… fallingangels
it’s not growing very quickly… and there are a surprising amount of people not willing to post pics. In the world today, do you think people are even going to bother if they can’t see you?
Using a dating site has nothing to do with being “desperate”.
I met my current gf there. She’s very accomplished in her occupation, works very hard, travels alot, but hasn’t got the time to go around looking for guys to date (the she’s tried the guys at work- duds!).
Her profile on this particular dating site was spelled correctly and eloquently stated the way she looks at life. I messaged her and we are 5 months in and going strong.
Online dating is just dating.
To me, there is something sad about going to a bar to meet someone, but different strokes for different etc’s, and so forth. As long as it works.
