Dating or not dating.

[greg]

Well, consider you live in Des Moines now, I'm finding hard to believe there aren't any women closer to you.

They are all on Tinder.

Must be.

I just got a message from this woman on Ok Cupid (another stupid dating site I'm currently on):

While Greg's posting photos of random women, I figured why not share something as well? Haha. Anyway, I doubt I'll respond back to her as she lives about 2 hours away.

[greg]

2 hours... ugh. Yeah, that's not driving distance.

Yeah, especially when there's got to be hundreds of single women closer.

I just installed a dating app called "Bumble." It's almost just like Tinder, except only the woman is allowed to message you after you match. Kinda nice.

So far, I got 5 women that liked my profile, so out of those 5, I chose 3 to "match." So I guess any of those three are allowed to send me a message, but they have to do so within 24 hours or the match goes away. I think that's how it works.

Hey guys, do you think it is prudent to post pictures of these ladies here? It seems rather like something they wouldn't be too happy about if they knew about it. The fact that they DON'T know and are unlikely to troll through here anytime soon isn't really the determining factor there. I think it would be wise on your part to kind of hold some stuff back, OK?

True. I removed the picture in my post. But John will have to remove it from his post that he quoted from me.

Good call.

Sounds like a plan, Gurn. My apologies.

Never heard of Bumble. Let me know if you get any bites, Greg.

One thing I noticed is that the women look way better on average than any dating site, even way better than Tinder.

I will have to limit all this to 10 minutes tomorrow. Way too much today. I think it's because I went to the Art Center today and thought it was awesome, but couldn't help think it would have been much more fun with a girl. Or at least with a friend, if my friend weren't sick. And also because boredom.

The one girl I matched with on Tinder that I was talking with about manga and anime with just a few hours ago I feel kind of conflicted about. That she's interested in the same thing- awesome. But other than one picture that of hers that looks great, none of the others I'm particularly into.

You might make the same speech to me "you shouldn't be so concerned about looks, shouldn't be so picky" etc., but man, I don't think I could go below whatever I think is a 7. And she might be a 6 at best. What happens if I see her and she wants to kiss and I'm not really feeling it? I would just lock up, not even consciously. Leading someone on and then turning them down is not something I enjoy- I'm not that sadistic. 

Not the first time I tried to convince myself a girl is attractive because they message me talking about a common interest. I guess looks really go first for me, even if the person is a filthy normie. lol 



Can I just forget about my friend who I will never get to date, the one who has good looks, great personality and common interests? That's what I'm looking for, I'd never even second guess that for a second. And I really think she'd be interested as well if things were different.

[greg]

I guess the gist of it is, you can make a normie girl an otaku but you can't make an ugly girl cute.

(I even got my mom into anime, and she's very much on the normal side).

This gin is getting to me, should probably stop posting now. 

[greg]

Got a girl that agreed to go out to eat with me sometime. Cute face, but the only problem is... no full body shots. 

So no, I'm not going to flirt with her until I see her. She doesn't have to look like a fitness goddess or anything, just hoping she's at least somewhat close to being as fit as I am. If not, then I'll choose to have a good attitude about it and it could maybe lead to a friendship or something.

Great! Where did you meet her at? Bumble? POF? Tinder?

So, did you respond?  Or did you decide the distance was too much?

[greg]

Tinder. We agreed to eat at a sushi restaurant near my place next week, since she said this week is busy for her.

I did get a message on Bumble from someone- although she is a bit older (31), she's pretty hot. But that was earlier in the day, and she hasn't replied back, so eh.

I have a pretty amusing article about Bumble that I might share later.

No, I didn't respond, Nik. The distance is too great for me. She's certainly an attractive woman, though.

Sounds good, Greg. Let us know how it goes.

When I first met my ex I had to drive about 80 minutes either way. I know that's nothing for some, but it mounts up. So I don't blame you balking at two hours.

Yeah, I saw the photo. And it's a pity. But there are lots of attractive women out there.
