Master Twig posted:I do.  I figured that finding people on OKC would be super easy because I had heard so many horror stories from female friends that I assumed I just had to be Not a Rapist/Not a Misogynist and watch the matches come flying in. Turns out that every even vaguely attractive woman is so bombarded with messages that it's much more difficult to stand out than I thought. I have gone out a couple of times on dates from there but they didn't work out.To add to dating site pet peeves: People who like your profile but then don't respond to messages People who respond to your first message politely and then go silent (this is even worse than just ignoring somebody!) People who do BOTH of the above. gently caress it, I should just get Tinder when I have time. One of my friends is getting married to a Tinder match next year.

The most confusing thing is when a woman messages you and then ignores you when you try to keep the conversation going Example: Woman: Hi! How was your weekend? Me: I had fun. I went to the like with friends. Went swimming, grilled out, etc. Did you do anything fun? Woman: No.

grittyreboot posted:The most confusing thing is when a woman messages you and then ignores you when you try to keep the conversation going Yeah, I like when someone wants to know about me but when I try to politely shift the conversation to being about them and the convo dies, that's pretty much dealbreaking. If you're uncomfortable talking about yourself at all than the dating scene might not be for you!

grittyreboot posted:The most confusing thing is when a woman messages you and then ignores you when you try to keep the conversation going I found when I was on OKCupid years ago I got messages from two types of women. Middle-aged women (I was in my early twenties) who "weren't hitting on me" and women my own age who'd only want to chat online, never actually meet.

grittyreboot posted:How did that happen?! This actually happened on my first shift as a taxi driver. Late at night, bunch of youngsters out on the piss. One of them, a young girl, falls asleep in the cab. Her friends pay the taxi, and gently caress off. I stop them, all "Hey what about your friend, here?", they go "Oh gently caress her, just throw her out, she's a pain in the arse anyway" and then run off giggling. Some friends, huh? So, unsure as to what to do at 3am with a comatose scantily clad girl - and the police all busy sorting out the weekly 3am riot as the nightclubs discharge - I go into her purse, get her I.D and take her to her house. Which, as it turns out, is a super fancy pseudo-mansion on the outskirts of town. So I'm carrying her along the big fancy rear end gravel path to her house, when the door explodes open and a huge, very angry, very bald man comes barreling out, screaming incoherently about how I should be ashamed of myself and she's half my age, and then punches me in my big stupid face. For the record, I look kind of like Sasquatch, if Sasquatch was a rapist from the 1970s. So I drop the slumbering girly girl, stagger back a few steps and put up my fists, determined to prevent further punches from hitting my stupid face, and he advances on me, and then suddenly the door explodes open again and his very small, very feisty wife comes rocketing out and starts haranguing him about how it's obviously a TAXI DRIVER you IDIOT look he has a TAXI and anyway her boyfriend's blonde and shorter why would a kidnapper bring her back here et cetera et cetera and basically henpecks the poor fucker back into the house. Anyway, she brings me in for a cup of tea and is very grateful at the return of her daughter - turns out she's some kind of wild child who'd fallen in for an older dude who seemed to be trying to wangle in on her folk's money, who had hosed off with her a week before and they'd been worried sick. Anger Dad just assumed the worst. No harm done, I have a resilient face.

Also the assumption that not wanting kids as a woman means that I am a child hating, baby eating Grinch-harpy bitch who will die alone and angry. Look, I got issues and I don't feel comfortable passing them on. I babysit just fine, but I'm not interested. Not wanting something is not the same as hating it. I don't want to eat potato salad, but I don't /hate/ it.

Though I could see myself I cling on their profile I'd click on their profile & if they're hot and they could prove its their dick & they don't have horrible sdts maybe I would sleep w them.

Having a good dinner and everyone enjoying themselves when a member of the party sighs loudly and says he's depressed because of the Boy Scouts. When asked, because of course he wants someone to ask why, he laments that now gay men can openly serve and it's just like letting a grown man supervise girls because all gay men want to gently caress boys just like most men want to gently caress teenage girls. Most. Way to kill the party, rear end in a top hat. Everyone was chatting up weekend plans and summer vacation and plans for next month and the dude drops this. Right across from a girl he doesn't know is a lesbian, and she said nothing because she was trying to keep everything civil. Someone changed the subject and when the dude realized no one wanted to hear more from him, he muttered a bit and was thankfully quiet. The gently caress do you want to discuss a topic like that in goddamn public for? Can we hear your views on abortion next? Re: dick pics. Unless you have that dragon tattoo penis, most of them look pretty similar. So it's always funny how that's one of the first questions asked. gently caress, I was on a lesbian dating site and got close to 20 messages a week from men who "wanted to show me not all men are pigs and I am a Nice Guy and love to eat out a woman's pussy." Uh. Thanks? Bonus points for the dude who sent a description of his dick.

I've been with my boyfriend for ages, and before that I met men the old-fashioned way, drunken hook-ups. Sometimes, in my weaker moments, I feel like I somehow missed out on a vital part of 21st century womanhood by never doing online dating. It sounds awful and I'd probably hate it, but it would be an experience, drat it.

I love my fiancee to death but she forgets to take her phone with her to work at least once or twice a week and it drives absolutely bonkers. Yes e-mail exists but we've had a bunch of after-work errands we've had to run the past few months (getting married pretty soon) and we like to meet up after work to work out and for planning dinner and nyarrrrgh  Your whole drat life is in that thing, surely you can check to make sure it's on your person before leaving the house?Crow Jane posted:I've been with my boyfriend for ages, and before that I met men the old-fashioned way, drunken hook-ups.

I'm kind of in the same boat, my fiancee and I met in 2007 and have been together in an unbroken streak since, so I have zero experience with online dating and using social media to find love/get laid in general. I often wonder what it would be like (though that feeling's part of my much larger "What's dating like?" question) but the fact that, of all the things I could bitch about here, I'm bitching about my fiancee leaving her phone at home means that I've probably got it real good here so I don't worry about.

Yeah, it's weird. It sounds... interesting, I guess? Something like Tinder would have certainly saved me a lot of effort and heartache, at any rate. But then I hear such horror stories both online and IRL, and I'm so, so grateful I never went through that, even if it means being with someone who's really terrible about rinsing out his cereal bowls and loves playing devil's advocate (to tie it into the pet peeve thing). Dick pics and creepiness aside, it would weird me out to know so much about a person right off the bat. I guess it would cut down on first date awkwardness, but I always liked the getting to know you stage  Oh, and my boyfriend constantly gets peeved at me for accidentally leaving my phone at home or not answering his texts in a timely fashion. Are you him  ?

Why not just deposit my paycheck there instead of waiting to get home to do it electronically, take photos that the app keeps rejecting because the check being flooded with light is still insufficient lighting, and then wait the three or four days it takes to clear instead of next day at an atm? But that's pet peeve of mine: companies that still issue paper checks instead of going direct deposit. Another is people who whistle in public bathrooms.

Are you him If he's your boyfriend and not your fiancee, then it's probably not me  I think it's because pants for men have larger pockets, whenever I leave the house I make sure to touch both my thighs and my right buttcheck to make sure I have my phone, keys, and wallet. You can't really cram any of those into the pockets of my fiancee's jeans, I'm sorry you ladies have it so rough

"Let's sew these pockets into the pants at such a shallow angle that poo poo will constantly falling out of them, especially when you sit down in a car." I bought a pair of "beat-em-up" Mossimo-brand jeans from Target to wear while I work in the yard. I wasn't expecting much, but I soon discovered that the zipper is somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3rds the length of an ordinary zipper, meaning you can't even pull your dick out of them without unbuttoning the jeans and pulling them down slightly.

I hate sneezing, period. I hate it when I have a giant sneeze that makes my chest muscles hurt. I hate it when I have eight tiny sneezes that come out without a breath in between, like machine-gun sneezes. I hate it when I'm talking to someone and have to pause to sneeze. I hate how some people compare orgasms to sneezes, so either they have the world's shittiest orgasms or my sneezes have been disappointing me all this time.

Self-checkout machines telling me to take my stuff at the end of the transaction. What is that for? Did the people who designed it think that customers would buy a bunch of stuff and then just walk away without taking it? Also, the way they still give instructions like "Please use PIN pad to complete transaction" when you're already doing it (or have actually finished already).

Doesn't work very well, there are still idiots with 3 carts of stuff going through self-checkout like it'll somehow be faster than the lane attendant who does that work every day. I wanna punch those people, at least half the self-checkouts should be treated like express lanes, 20-25 items max to get people through faster. Bill Dungsroman posted:GOD drat YES this was the best thing when my company stopped accepting checks. Checks are stupid and should have been axed a long time ago as a form of payment, only exception being for things like rent or stuff where you want to be able to track or cancel payment. Otherwise, CC lets you do that, and cash/CC are quicker and more convenient anyways (unless you're one of the half-wit teenagers I've seen that can barely do remedial math in their heads to count change back). Speaking of change - whenever I go someplace to pay with cash and try to get rid of some change so I can get fewer pennies back. Example: Go to the store, get groceries, comes out to say, $44.97. I give the cashier $50.02 so I can get $5.05, one bill, one nickel. I'd say 75% of the time the cashier looks at me funny, tries to hand the change back, and I have to explain why I'm giving that amount of change. How did you get a loving job not being able to do basic addition and subtraction in your head? And these are the same self-entitled idiots that expect $15/hour for no experience right out of high school and can't be bothered to wake up before 11am to work. gently caress stupid millennials.
