Can we discuss how depressing it is to mention how depressing our online experience has been only to have "fifty-leven" chicks show up to say how they met their soul mates within 15 mins of putting up a profile and now they are living happily ever after...

All you have to do is have bacteria from the poop of a thin person injected into your intestines!

Selfishly, part of me wishes that she could be more of an aggressor, someone who would try to convince me to change my mind once. I know it’s not her style, but, selfishly, I wish her actions showed it as much as her words. Maybe she gives up too quickly. Maybe I want someone who’s gonna fight for me. Maybe that’s all…

I'd be intrigued to learn what legitimate university offers a Ph.D. in "Clinical Hypnotherapy."

You're joking, but you're kind of right, too. It seems that everything has a good/bad dichotomy. Almost like life is not about extremism, but rather balance. Hmmm . . .

From the title, I thought this might be a fundraiser of some sort, where you can buy flowers and the proceeds go to DV related organizations.
I see my faith in humanity was misplaced.

I'm with you! I have never felt better than when I quit online dating (for the 3rd time). It's such a roller coaster. Also, I'm trying not to throw up a little when I hear about all these OKC success stories. I was getting messages from the strangest of strange, and I'm not horrible looking AND I even made it a point…

I personally - not saying this will work for everybody, it just does for me - find it less draining when I think about it in terms of "using the internet to find people I can meet and decide if I'm interested in dating" as opposed to "dating on the internet". From my personal experiences and what I've heard friends…

I guess it did sound like I was sitting there with these guys after Date 2 saying "Um so like, what are we?"

Bill Hader was super funny. I got what Andy Samberg was doing, and intellectually found it amusing, but not in the way an actual laugh would escape my body.

I've been on OkCupid for probably almost four years. I use it on and off, whenever I move, to meet friends. I really dislike meeting people for "dates" and getting into a relationship right away. It's way too stressful and I really just can't make a good decision after 2-3 dates. Or even 5. If I like you as a…

YESSSS... which is why I was so happy when this comment from HeatherFerreira on another Jez post happened:

Dating in general is exhausting. For me, OKC just creates a line of dudes that I inexplicably have to satisfy with my time and it IS time consuming. Getting dressed up, asking stupid questions, trying to figure out what the other person is thinking or how to gracefully cut it short, it's tiring on every front. But at…

Oh, are you me? And did you start getting emails from white guys who wanted to "try" a black girl, no strings attached, b/c they'd never publicly DATE one?

That is basically the same conclusion I've come to. I have to get out and do it the "old fashioned way" which is basically wandering around until I bump into someone.

I stuck with it for almost a year. In that time, I dealt with a lot of bullshit from a lot of people and set up a lot of real-life dates that fell through. It sucked. Every time I looked at my profile I was miserable and got increasingly bitter and angry. Every time I had a shitty experience I added it to my…
