Pretty much how they are

they have an air of artificialness about them its not like meeting someone face to face.

I dunnooo, I've met alot of artificial people face to face as well...

you've met artificial plastic people face to face?

that sounds scary o_o

Well, mannequins are technically artificial plastic (or sometimes other materials) people, right? And it's possible to see them face-to-face fairly often in clothing stores...except for maybe those creepy ones that don't have heads...

or those killer ones controlled by an alien with guns in their hands

I love this

Autons are creepy D:

The ultimate goal is usually to meet someone face-to-face and find out; we just live in an age where people don't so much -go out- anymore, just to do it.

Time to pretend you are a woman then Dubz, get that sweet sweet lovin'

urfgh... noep.

lol what?

Tell them you're gay

THEN I'LL GET MEN OR INSULTS JESUS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WORKS

Oh... so go for a cougar? Cougars are awesome, it's like having sex with both your mother and your girlfriend except it's legal

I'm like... 28 xD and I'm not in it for the sex. I want companionship and if a relationship flowers through it, awesome.

Ah, well cougars can make you great cookies, because you're as old as their son

no stop

just... just stop.

How about a femboy?

congrats c:

Whenever I see someone post this kind of thing when the OP is single I imagine that same person telling someone in a wheelchair "my legs work fine".

Ah, it's not something that bothers me. What bothers me most is when a girl I really like states 'You're such a nice guy Matt, I'm sure you'll find someone'.

ah yes the dreaded "friendzone".

Pretty much hit the nail on the head here.

Well at least there is one gentleman in the crowd with a very stylish mustache.

Yep, that's how it goes. If you're not looking for sex then you're screwed.

I avoid those places like the plague so as not to come off like the guys in the first panel

You have no idea how many fucking messages I get on OkStupid that consist mainly of "hi, ur hot" or "wat iz skype, we fuk, yes?"
There are some hilarious profiles out there, though.

You know you forgot about the overly friendly bots that try to get you to spend money on the site.

I had some attention and messages from girls. But... 90% of my page visitors were guys.

so true :(

Beyond true.

Surprised by this, actually. I know there're a lot of hookups happening on those sites but also ('least from my circles, I haven't been to one) a lot of people actually making friends and/or relationships online.

the joke is the process is like a public auction machine for a credible partner where consequence and ideals kind of get flittered away because of how easy it is. Some people get lucky, others do not. I'm the latter and I'm getting tired of carpet bombing random girls with questions and compliments, just to be ignored.

Moved to another site, which said I needed to pay to read messages. So all in all, it's not been a good experience for me.I've had a few good relationships online, but I've realised I need someone closer to home. So congrats to them, but I can only say luck was on their side.

The one thing I find online dating sites are good for is quick filtering; there might even be something in what you're saying that comes up as a red flag, but the likelier bit is that women get stormed on sites like these, if not stalked or harassed. For example, I know a few who would actually sort away from people 'not looking for sex' both because either they were or because they were used to those people being the kind of shitty, entitled men that swarm rampant over the 'net, the world even, and prefer to sort by other relevant stuff. I know it sucks a lot, but I'd ask one of your friends who looks for men what your profile says to them, etc., likely you'd get a lot better answers with someone that identifies as female because they get far and away the lion's share of shitty treatment out there and they tend to have a much better sense of both what they want and what'll send them flying away from a profile post-haste.

Good luck regardless, though. I've been where you are and it sucks tremendously.

so true T_T

*is...sadly going through this right now
and its alarming how true it is

I just love all the expressions, each of them are priceless XD


Sad when it's like that :/

maybe it's cuz you're a starfish from the waist down

you don't have a vajayjay.

lol kinda reminds me of the jungle.
