The Not Looking for Anything Serious dudes are all like that. They act like assholes until you walk away and then they repent, because they can't find another sex partner and suddenly they miss you and you were really nice to them.

I think you should give Borat a chance.

This sounds SO MUCH like this coke dealer I used to sleep with in high school. Apart from the kids, I'd swear it was him. Awful kisser, house scattered with reptile tanks and pieces of drum kits, squalid, hardly working bathroom, and AMAZING sex.

Yeah, exactly. Like, why do you care SO MUCH? Worst case scenario, you're a psycho serial killer who wants to keep my face in a jar, best case scenario, you're just obsessively controlling and can't handle a woman saying 'no' to you about even the simplest things. Neither of these scenarios describe men I want to date.

My mom was chatting once with a supposed lawyer from OkCupid. He wanted her to come over to his house for dinner or whatnot. She was not comfortable with that and did the same thing "hey for our first meeting I would rather it be somewhere public" and he flipped out on her. He called her paranoid and said how dare…

The whole time I was reading this I pictured this guy as Terry Richardson.

The problem with the acronym "ED" is that it can mean either eating disorder or erectile dysfunction. But since you had sex I figured out which one it was.

I had a similar experience—except the guy wanted me to come over to his place for a glass of wine. I'm like, uh—no. I've never met you; first time meetings need to be in a public place. After spending about 20 minutes trying to convince me to drive from the West side to the valley for a glass of wine, he finally…

Oh definitely. I grew up in a house where my mother stopped seeing her friends and doing things for herself cuz it pissed my dad off. Still, to this day. She's been very honest with me about how much she put her life on hold because my dad liked to have everyone home, not doing anything unless it was his idea. …

That sounds shitty, but you may have dodged one hell of a bullet there. This thing about giving you orders and "not telling him what he likes" which presumably means he does, in fact, like shy and quiet girls... not a bad sign in and of itself, but combine an aggressive, rude, controlling personality with an…

That dude was breaking laws left and right. He got lots of speeding tickets and would make his employees either take the online driving class to avoid points on his record or have them fight the ticket for him.

This isn't so much a horror story as a learning experience.

Right? That's some serious chutzpah.

I really almost respect the balls it takes to pull things like that.

pretty sure forcing subordinates into your romantic life falls under sexual harassment

I dated a guy for six months or so, almost 7 years ago. He started out awesome but turned out to be a ridiculous asshole — for example, toward the end of our time together, after we had sex one night he "jokingly" compared me to Jabba the Hutt when I had a hard time contorting my body into a weird position he wanted…

I gave up on online dating pretty quick, but I did have one incident where, after combing through creepy message after creepy message, I finally got a message from a guy that seemed fairly reasonable. We chatted a bit, he seemed sane and funny, and I thought, why not, lets get coffee, what the hell. But then it came…

I have too many stories but they are really long so here is a short one from a friend:

Ohhhh man. Plenty of Fish, circa 2009. I was finishing college, overwhelmed by a senior project and really hankering for free dinner and a reasonable lay. Having run out of options in my female-dominated, tiny, hippie school, I signed up for this free dating site. There wasn't much to look at, a lot of guys who were…

I used to use OkStupid a fair bit years ago (for the tests ya know as it reminded me of the old Spark dot com), and as I did before discovering binge drinking in earnest, met a dude for coffee off there. It's the inner city trendy hipster wank uni student and musician suburb so quite often you'd see "celebs" …
