The upsides and downsides of dating profiles this close to Eugene, Oregon.

Posted by Mop (188 lbs) (aka rburriel) Dec 26 '12, 09:37

Upside: A lot of atheists. I least I won't have to deal with people trying to "save" me.

Downside: A whole lot of "bisexual" and "open relationship" profiles. That's a whole lot less of a turn-on than you'd think, especially when the other person is probably also a dude.

- Seriously, though, I'm not into wang at all. -- nm - Mop (188 lbs) Dec 26, 10:27
Question to ponder: Do you want to jump right back in, or give yourself a short period of time to 'mourn' what you've lost. - ty97 Dec 26, 10:03 25
- I've been mourning for years. I've been lacking a close, intimate, relationship for years. - Mop (188 lbs) Dec 26, 10:08 15
  - can't say I blame you. you should be able to go out and get what you want. - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 10:12 3

      - just saying that if I had waited out some socially mandated grieving period for my past relationship even though I was totally ready to move on, - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 10:27 1

  - but you didn't call it that. you didn't talk that out. you can't kill the beast until you give it a name - amanda Dec 26, 10:11 1
    - I'm not sure I'd call her a beast, and I probably don't want to kill her. -- nm - Mop (188 lbs) Dec 26, 10:54

    - I also do not know what the "I am divorced and have x # of kids" factor is. - groiny Dec 26, 10:13 4
      - at a certain age, everyone is divorced with kids. so it's not that big of a deal really. -- nm - amanda Dec 26, 10:14 2
        
        I always wondered about this. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 26, 10:15 1
        
        it's an "it depends" question. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 10:15
      - divorced last week? lots. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 10:13
    - Totally legitimate. I understand this and realize I may have to wait. -- nm - Mop (188 lbs) Dec 26, 10:11 2
      - also, if you're saying "I'm mourning" that'll come off as needy and bitter. so again, wait. reflect. then date. - amanda Dec 26, 10:12 1

- "dating" is different than "serious dating" in my mind. - groiny Dec 26, 10:05 8
  - I'm really bad at that, like many people. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 10:07
  - Most people in our age range are looking for something serious. If you're just looking for fun / friends, I'm not sure he's on the right site. -- nm - ty97 Dec 26, 10:07 5
    - see, I need to find the "I don't wanna ever get married" dating site. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 26, 10:11 3

      - word. only I want "...unless one of us is desperate for health insurance." -- nm - amanda Dec 26, 10:13 1
        
        good call. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 26, 10:15
    - I agree with 97. -- nm - amanda Dec 26, 10:09
  - not to some/many people -- nm - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 26, 10:06
re: your downside, you're readying Plenty of Fish, aren't you? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 09:52
isn't it kind of soon to be dating already? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 09:52 4
- hells no, I would have to to keep myself sane. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 26, 09:54 3
  - oh please, you'd be a total man slut sleeping your way around the bars of South Chicago -- nm - ty97 Dec 26, 10:08 1
    - well, yeah. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 26, 10:09
  - "keep". heh. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 26, 09:54

Just be alone for a while. Trust me. Get to know what it's like to be single. Why are you jumping in again already? -- nm - Amanda Dec 26, 09:49 1
- I should read other replies before I reply. -- nm - ty97 Dec 26, 10:03
use those as slump busters. -- nm - Reagen Dec 26, 09:38 1
