I don't even wanna know what you'd find if you typed my name in Google lol.
It isn't that bad. Just try to find and culture hobbies and interests that are typically skewed more women. Dance classes or any kind of art class (pottery, painting, whatever) are good communities that are ballpark 3:1 women:men. Theater is about 1:1-ish. Poetry is, like, 5:1?
Through work, look into Young Professional Groups, which are just generally good ways to expand a balanced network.

Yes, I asked if she wanted to go on the same date we planned for last week before she got sick, and she said yes. Tomorrow night

Excellent, best of luck!
That's awesome! While I've gotten rid of 3 trash bags worth of clothes the past couple weekends I could do with getting rid of more shit.
I need to force myself to do this. Just pick a bunch of places I like going to already and try. I agree it is the preferred method.
The joke I had when I started taking photography was that we're all here because we like taking the pictures not being in them. Most everyone I knew hated self portraits.

So I mentioned earlier that my dad gave my number to some rando who's ad he got out of the matrimonial section of a Punjabi newspaper.
Well, I've been chatting with her, and she's actually... interesting. And cute as fuck. But definitely a bit weird. I asked her to coffee, but she's busy this weekend, so... eh, let's see if we click in person.

Well, thats progress I guess. Lets hope the weirdness is not that bad.
You guys should watch Meet The Patels together
Thanks for the advice. It might sound really weird but I just literally had that revelation in a dream last night - I was in some art class with some women or something, I immediately woke up and was like "woah, duh" and wrote it in my phone, haha. Something I might actually be interested in doing.
Starting work at a big company soon so I'm looking forward to being able to network there.
Talked with this awesome girl on Tinder, she's exactly my type (especially because she has short hair), we share a lot of interests and turns out she's bisexual. Funny thing, I have dated a bi girl before and I thought it was great. I just want to know, what are your thoughts on dating a bisexual girl?

I've been on bumble for about 2 1/2 weeks and have about 50 matches but even then only like a third will bother to message you, and even then the messages are basically "Hey
". Women on bumble seem a bit pickier because they have to send the first message, at least from my experience. Also I heard the algorithm puts the best looking people to show up the most frequently while others get put in the back of people's rotations.I've been on bumble for about 2 1/2 weeks and have about 50 matches but even then only like a third will bother to message you, and even then the messages are basically "Hey
Bad-looking confirmed. Actually now that I remember, I matched with one girl. She never messaged me but I wasn't attracted to her anyway. One match after over a thousand swipes is ridiculous though.

The algorithm is like a purely ranked with list with no noise whatsoever. It is a complete train wreck in terms of usability for casual users.

I dated a bi girl briefly, was fun and she was more proactive in the bedroom than other girls. Offered a threesome with her girlfriend one time, but sadly the girlfriend was a stereotypical lesbian and not my type.

Bumble ain't great. Even when I get a match I don't get a message. I've only had one contact me and that was a woman that was in NYC for the week from California so nothing was able to happen any way.

I've heard that from people as well. They prefer Bumble ladies as you say.

They seem more attractive overall and it's a nice change of pace to not make the first move all the time. Bumble a decent app to use alongside tinder. Just make sure your profile is strong or you probably won't get shit for matches
I've barely gotten any matches with Bumble, but it doesn't seem to be my speed. Generic hotties across the board, and i need at least a little bit of weirdness to find my angle of attack (doesn't have to be nerdy, which is rare enough, but artsy, political, academic/intellectual, film buff, lit buff, gimme something).
On that front i had an artsy hot girl message me on OKCupid last night and by the time i got around to replying this morning she had already deleted her account :-/

Dating a bi person is the same as dating a not bi person.
On the Bumble thing, it's weird... it's like the women sign up there and expect it to be the same at Tinder or something. As far as I could tell though Bumble just wasn't all that popular in my area though, it was all about Tinder and OKC.
But there's not that much data there, is the problem. Almost 100% of the bumble women i saw were attractive to me, and few had any information that really told me much about them in their profile. Left swipes were mostly people who lived too far away, with a handful being people with disparaging information in their profile and a negligible amount of unattractive women.
OKC i don't just like everyone with a pretty face, but that's because it's got the match rating right there, the broad strokes of stuff (like the eternal red flag that is "More Conservative") when you hover, and at least a bit of written info.
get more picky. it's okay to be super picky on a dating website. it makes the data work for you.

The one thing I hate seeing on Bumble profiles is "just message me if you have any questions!"
It's like, girl, that's not how this works!

ahahahaha jesus this conversation got so awkward.
RE.Bumble conversations.
SOOOO many women just fucking say Hi. Im like god dammit woman just try a little bit. I have so much stuff in my profile its not that hard to latch onto something to ask me about or a random nonsequitar.
You know, I've only ever had maybe 1 or 2 bad date in my life. Most of them are perfectly fine but afterwards I feel ambivalent about a second one, like last night's. I think it just takes me a long time to warm to people as a romantic prospect, probably longer than most people have the patience for.

Can't do that on Bumble, girls have to initiate
I'm similar. 1 or 2 dates that were bad. Many that were 'perfectly fine' to use your words and a nice chunk that were great. As I've gotten older and busier, my willingness to follow up with dates that were just 'perfectly fine' has declined quite a bit. I want to be excited about a second date and many times when I describe a first date as 'perfectly fine' deep down I'm thinking it was boring. Nothing wrong with the person, just didn't have that personality compatibility that makes great dates so memorable and fun.

I always have the most crazy fucked up dates. Rarely are they normal.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I've had some really bad dates, but at the same time it takes me a bit to get comfortable around a person and I can see a lot of people not really having the patience for that.
I think part of it with the getting older and more experienced part is that you tend to have had those 1 or 2 people that you had crazy chemistry with, couldn't stop thinking about, etc, so you end up constantly comparing everyone else to how that felt. As a result I probably miss out on those slow burn romances I might have been open to otherwise.
I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I want to date people I have crazy chemistry with. I know these people are out there because I've dated many of them.
Don't get me wrong, this is not the same thing as pining for an ex. This is just saying that you want to spend time with people you feel a connection with. That connection is usually realized in the first date (for me at least). It's rare that I have a 'perfectly fine' first date and then on date four I realize that I have crazy chemistry with them and I just didn't realize.
Your first instincts about a person are usually right.

I went on a fair few dates before I met my wife and only two of them were what I'd consider crazy or I should say memorable.
One ended with the girl taking her knickers off and going commando because her vagina was too sweaty (which was a fair enough excuse...it was hot as fuck and I felt like taking my boxers off too) and the other ended with a blowjob in a toilet that had giant penises painted in the stalls.

I usually enjoy dating lawyers.
I'm not a lawyer.
This only applies to female lawyers btw.
Didn't realize there were so many lawyers in DatingGaF. Peltz, AD, ZackieChan. Am I missing anyone?
Neither did I

We should do a career breakdown, between IT people, Lawyers, Creatives or whatever.
List of just this pages posters?

You broke up with the other girl, then?
(not trying to rag on you, just curious and might have missed the update on that)
I have to wonder, too.

Last nights first date with the Romanian girl was interesting to say the least.
I could tell from the get go that she was DTF, so it wasn't long after making out that I suggested going back to hers.
I honestly feel pretty bad considering I'm seeing the Kiwi again tomorrow night (I've been seeing her for 2 months), but we've never discussed where we're going so maybe I shouldn't? She's going back home in August anyway.
The Romanian girl also gave me two love bites, so I'm trying to work out how the fuck to minimise them before tomorrow's date...
Am I a cunt? I honestly never thought I'd be in a situation like this.
