Foo - Internet Personals

Tell me whachu think. Good? Bad? Whogiveashiat?

Edit: This was supposed to be a poll, but in my drunken stupor, I screwed something up. So...


Wait, what was I talking about?

Well um....can you be more explicit?

Well um....can you be more explicit?
I can be. But this is benevolent personals. Not raunchy internet creepy stuff.

You be more explicit, sos i can answer your question properly...

What Do You Want From Us, Man??!!!! :D

What Do You Want From Us, Man??!!!! :D

Opinions from random, completely anonymous figments of forum imagination.

Well, heck. Just read any of my posts and all of you wonderings are answered. :)

Cripe. That's a lot of work for a drunken Tuesday night. Or Wednesday morning, however the case may be.

Gives you something to do.

Even though I can see what your avatar is, it still looks like some poor cyclops held against her (his?) wishes with some wires poking in her (his?) eye with some big brain wrench holding her (him?) in place...

And, with that... goodnight and bon voyage!

Lol. That just made me hysterically laugh. :D

Ooooo. And you think I'M strange. Must be on something. Besides booze.

It seems to be "the" new way to meet people. I know TONS of people who have met "the love of their life" on them. I've had some fun dating from there a few times. Go for it, dude!

Gross KT. Yuck.

Always use protection, ya'll ;)

I knew an older woman who met her husband that way. She met some losers first of course. So I'd have to say it's not all bad. I have never tried it myself as I got married straight out of college.

I debated trying it for the friends aspect. But the problem is there are almost no normal people, at least on the one or two sites I checked. An entry from a guy "Looking for a friend to wax my butt, no romance" really doesn't seem like something I'm interested in following up on.

Well would you say that we on BF are normal? (Ha! not me :p ) There are a couple of people I wouldn't mind meeting for a ride. A group ride, that is.

I wouldn't go there but then I wouldn't listen to me either.

i've done it and i met a lot of people. just take it all with a grain of salt and never take it personally if someone flakes out. they are all vitural strangers afterall. that said, i made a really good friend out of it - we've been friends for over 2 years now. oh, and also, i met my current GF on an internet personal. we're moving in together next month. so, it worked really well for us.

Life is a risk so with that said, take a risk cause you never know whats going to happen. Plus its not much different then meeting someone in a bar. Yeah, you get to see them first but you still don't know who they are.

The future Mrs. Cuda2k and I met on the Yahoo Personals. Had some not so great experiences with them before I met her, but as others have said - got to roll with the punches a bit. The only thing I really remember is that it seemed that some girls had a very broad sense of the term 'average' when it came to body type. That or mine is too narrow.

For what it's worth, my fiancee contacted me first on the Yahoo Personals. We kicked it off right away and it's been pretty smooth sailing for the last 3.5 years. We even have survived several years of major long distance relationship.

True, snowy, true. :)

Gross KT. Yuck.
What's so gross? Are you trying to read something into my statement that I didn't say? I don't get what was "gross". :o :rolleyes:

I don't know. I guess it's just that "anonymous" feeling, you know?

This guy that is a vendor at my work used to always ask me out. I would always tell him no, then he would ask again 2 weeks later.

For a while he didn't come to work. Then one day I read in the paper how he lured a girl on the internet into meeting him and she got scared and told her mom. He got busted, and his motel room he rented had duct tape, leather straps, rope and drugs in it. He is now on Megan's law, and he's back at work, still asking me out.

I guess I just thought of that when you posted. Sorry. That will always be in the back of my head. I'm not saying that you're like that, no way. I just think of him every time I hear "internet dating".

Look everyone- why don't we organizse a nude charity ride this summer? Camping , Naked Crisco Twister and a bunch of other bohemian stuff. Totally sponsored by Trojan and the Family Planning Centres of North America and hopefully Sweden too. Teehee.

I don't know. I guess it's just that "anonymous" feeling, you know?



that's why you always meet at a neutral public place first. like a coffee place or something. i don't see it as any different than striking up a conversation with another stranger. it may seem weird to someone who hasn't done it - but it's really become quite commonplace now. almost all my friends have tried it at one point or another.

Im going to be part of your group ride!!! you bring the protection!!






































Bike protection, that is.

But wait. I thought YOU were going to be my bike protection. You're bigger'n me.

That's exactly right.

Overall....(I'm assuming an intelligence factor), I'd say its one of the safest ways to date. Depending on how "risky" or not you feel, you generally talk with someone online for a while before going out. You get to know that person MUCH MORE than if you just met them in public somewhere and maybe talked to them for 10 minutes.

The intelligence factor comes to play by talking to the person long enough to feel like you know them. Also from meeting, first, in a public place, like tim said. Sure you "could" meet a psycho who "play acted normal", but you could get that from somebody you meet in public just as easily. Also, if one watches for the "red flags"....for example, a girl IM'd me once (this is about 3 or 4 years ago now) and said hello. I said hello back and she asked me if I wanted to meet for lunch. I said, "you just said hello 30 seconds ago....you haven't even told me your name yet". That was a big red flag.......back out QUICK!

So overall....I think its safer.

The crazy stories you hear are usually some horny lonely heart who is so desperate they ignore all the common sense rules and meet someone in person 10 minutes after they've met online.

I shudder at the thought of a group that included both Siu Blue Wind AND Merton. I think the cosmic balance would be so upset it would run from the room crying and eat a whole pint of Ben & Jerrys New York Super Fudge Chunk.

But wait. I thought YOU were going to be my bike protection. You're bigger'n me.
Tell you what, when we do our ride we'll attach a rope from your bike too my bike. IF you need help going up, Ill pull you, if your gunna go off the cliff I'll stop you!

NoF3ar, that sounds good to me!

Jyossarian, that was mean. MERTON wasn't invited. You were and you say something mean like that? That wasn't very nice. *pout*

Y'know, for a guy, you write a lot like a girl. And I know Merton was invited. You can't resist the gravity of Merton. It's like picking at a scab. You know you shouldn't, but you just can't stop yourself.

Always use protection, ya'll ;)

You mean like using a vynil glove when lubing up?

Internet cycling\dating:
'I'm getting to old for this...Damn these loose balls, I think one just dropped.'
'Yep, everythings in perfect working order, I think I remember it being a '95 (1'95'0) ...only ridden by a girlscout troop leader a few times (she had issues). Incredible deal.'

A new word!
anonymous\amorous
anonymorous? or amoronymous?

-can anybody use it in a sentence? -that will make it a real word.

I call BS. No way Siu's a woman. While she writes like a woman, it lacks a certain feminine quality. ;) <wink wink>

No shes just a "colorful" person.

I agree with KT. I've had good experiences through eHarmony. They match you according to information you submit and compatiblity based on a personality test that you take. Once matched, I can chat with guys quite a bit through the website (they don't even have my personal e-mail until I am ready to share that) before moving on to the standard e-mail and telephone conversations. By then, I have a pretty good sense about them and if I want to meet in person or not. I was never interested in any of the other sites because I didn't like the idea of guys trolling looking at my picture and contacting me. Seemed creepy in a way to me.

Termite, I hate too say your right. People Ive met online, Ive become closer too than people I know in real life. Its easier to open up with people you don't know, there is no risk, why would you care if someone knows about you online.

i thought siu was a female at first. then i thought i heard someone say he was a he. but then, i'm thinking she's a she now. totally and utterly confused. :(

He\she didn't know what a moose knuckle was.?

Actually, how about Personal lube instead of crisco for the twister game...it washes off easier than crisco.

...I need not explain...

...oh and we need a skinny dipping special meet of the polar bear club....nothing quite like testicular icicles to start a conversation...

I call BS. No way Siu's a woman. While she writes like a woman, it lacks a certain feminine quality. ;) <wink wink>


Oh you're just upset because the last woman you met online was a 43 year old lumberjack named Fred, aren't you? :p

Termite, I hate too say your right.
Just get used to it.....it gets easier over time. ;)

He\she didn't know what a moose knuckle was.?


A moose knuckle is the grip on a Kona.


What you call a moose knuckle we call a camel toe. :rolleyes:

She was just foolin when she said she was a guy. Tell ya what, when I see he/she at our group ride ill let you know if he/she is packin heat.


Shhhhh....! You blew my cover! And no, I don't carry firearms when I ride.

I wish. It was actually a beautiful woman. No Brokeback Mountain action for me. :(

Yeah dude, you just totally blew Siu's cover as a woman posing as a man posing as a woman. Now how we gonna find out what MERTON's really up to?

Last I heard, the two biggest dating websites in the world (match.com and yahoo dating) were being sued for fraud.
