About This Site: Social experimentation meets ever-so-slight masochism... or perhaps it's sadism?

These are the results of a few online dating website memberships. Some of what you are about to read are Guest posts, added kindly from others whom I've invited to contribute. The rest are mine.

All of them are real.

In these posts I simply want to point out the basis of my evident misanthropy.

This website is not about me or my search (however much in jest it may be these days :P ), it is about the people I encounter along the process involved. And sharing a few laughs with you, the public.

Males are highlighted in blue, females in pink - I know its a stereotype, but here it's just a visual aid (and if we don't get around to coloring them by the time you read them, well... 'meh').
I don't censor much as far as usernames or the like, but if it is requested I am more than happy to do so, anyone can just comment on the post.

Let's say you stumble across here and find a conversation we've had online posted below, and you don't have a humour of your own, if you want it removed or the username changed then all you need to do is comment and say so. All too easy, yeah?

The joy of the online world is we can enjoy a level of anonymity - that includes the people featured below - and no one needs know of your little indiscretions... unless you're one of those odd folk who use their full names as usernames.

Which serves as a fitting segue into the following pieces of info:

I am never false in these interactions: my pictures on the dating website are real, as are all of my profile details (ie height, weight, interests, location etc), and I do not pretend to be anything I'm not. If you see me answering what I do for a living and my answers differ: it's because I have several j0bs and it's just easier to only mention one.

I am a 20something Australian female interested predominantly in other females... or perhaps males though my profile does state that you have to be a pretty special male to have a chance.
I do state in my profile that I'm looking for Friendship and people to talk to. (Some other posts: I have selected Casual Dating also, and these both change between 'with a male/female/either' - depending on when the conversation takes place on my personal timeline). I don't lead anyone one to believe we'll get together if we won't.
I do share my phone number and IM contact details on the site very, very occasionally if I wish to communicate further.
I do point out that I am not interested in threesomes or the like; that if I want to meet a guy, I'd add a guy; that chicks are not to contact me and ask if their boyfriend can join in/watch.

Enjoy the chuckles that ensue. I do.

My rough guidelines:
1) almost any contact request I accept, and 2) if possible, they must start the conversation first - I like to see with which foot they lead... and subsequently stick in their mouth.
Sometimes I get bored waiting for the fish to bite... so you'll see me break these rules a few times...

And finally, to anyone out there who is also a member on a dating site and actually genuinely looking for love, I have only this to say:
Do not be discouraged by all the conversations you've had with weirdos similar to what you read here. Real people are out there. Sadly, it just takes a lot of sifting through the sand to find them.
Have faith, patience, but most of all, humour.

Peace.
- the blogger girl

Thoughts...

Anyone seen 'Catfish'?

ever caught someone flat-out lying?

If you haven't seen it, see it.
Don't look it up, just go hire it.

bloggergirl says:
I can't believe someone can be that foolish!
sarahbear1990 says:
well mabe iam not comftable with the way i look
bloggergirl says:
what did you actually think was going to happen if you sent that to someone and eventually the two of you wanted to meet up? and you finally have to either say 'oh yeah, i totally lied to you the first time we spoke' or 'hmm gee I can't ever let you see me... i've... umm... been in an accident and it's changed my appearance somewhat... okay, a lot'
bloggergirl says:
not the best plan in my opinion
bloggergirl says:
if you can't be comfortable/trusting how do you expect anyone else to be?
sarahbear1990 says:
iam sorry iaaaaaaam ganna go talk when ive finished crying
bloggergirl says:

sarahbear1990 says:

bloggergirl says:

sarahbear1990 says:

sarahbear1990 is offline.

I read the text: Plllllzzzzz iam sorry i didnt want u ta see how ugly i really am.

I return: For the record I don't put such an emphasis on physical appearance. I'm not winning any beauty contests any time soon but least I'm myself.
So I wouldn't have cared about your outside, but I'm not a fan of trying to be fooled. So yeah, catcha. Better luck next time.
Reply: What happened to my second chance
Me: Lol you bailed and went to bed?
Her: Yeah so
Me: Lol bye
Her: Goodnight
Me: You can delete this number now. Night.
Her: Why
Me: I said goodbye.
Her: Ok
