Wait, dirty as in they're sexually liberated, dirty as in they smell bad, or dirty as in they do not maintain proper protocol for anal?


Sure.

It works at meeting women for me, although expect many to significantly understate their level of fatness in their pictures.  It certainly a good way to meet women if you're shy and not a natural player.  Only one woman I met seemed a little off mentally, and I think she was just depressed more than anything.

Well, one out of three ain't bad in that regard.

I put slender in my profile even though at 170 and change I'm really not, but it was because I was assumed "average" was code for "fat."  And perhaps not even technically code, just factually correct. : /

Average means fat? :unsure:

Disagree with it being good for the shy, much harder to send a message to someone online than to just open your gob in reality.

I have no idea.  But they say we're an obese nation, and I'd bet the average of people using online dating skews even fatter.  Also, people do tend to inflate (or, here, underinflate : / ) their good points in a personals ad.  I mean, I don't say I have a drinking problem, I just say I don't drink.

I'm also "smoking, but trying to quit." :goodboy:  Which may, if I actually get into it, be downgraded to "non-smoker," which is an "outright lie," but I can fake that.

That url doesn't work.  meetlocalcougars.com does, however.

BIOINICWOMAN1: do not want. :Embarrass:

Besides, you don't need the Internet to find old women to fuck.  That's easy.  Even I find that easy.

Edit: easy does not mean without value, of course.

I don't really think it's that, it's more that people online have a tendency to describe themselves in a rosy light. So like Ide said, someone with extra pounds on them will describe themselves as average.

That's true. And there are some really flattering pictures out there. So if you see someone actually looking average on an online dating site, they are either a) hideous or b) in dire need of a marketing team.

There's also the "model effect" Some people, even without taking extra steps, look really good in photos but not in real life. 3D just does not suit them. there are some people who are the exact opposite too.

Apparently you have to post lots and lots of pics of you rock climbing, sailing or offpisting. At least that's what people do in Sweden.
