Yes, I have strange ideas about revenge;-)

well, that sucks. what an asshole

Wow, what an asshole. The guy, I mean.

Fortunately he's an exception on there. I never knew any Lava lads to do anything quite that shitty before.

You look pyschotic and I am not

Having met you in Vegas I'm surprised there aren't guys queueing up to date you and fighting amongst themselves for the privilege, Orange Swan.

Wow, mugged on Lavalife. What a creep.

Despite the fact that I misspelled "odyssey" and made a double post, essexjan?;-)

What a loser! Literally. He lost out on the opportunity to meet a true lady who is wonderful in every way.

Ack, that sucks, OS. What's his nickname on there?

I'm starting to think LL employs people to smile at you to get you to spend credits. Seriously. In days of old I'd email people on there and *always* get a response of some kind. For the past 6 or 7 mos I've emailed people who've winked at me and got zip. Nothing. I check and they've read my emails, but they've never responded.

I won't be re-upping my credits when they run out.

In addition, I never write people who wink with those canned "I couldn't resist..." thingies.

His nick is "LOOKING4THEONE72". Which probably in itself should have clued me in;-)

In my profile I politely request that people not smile back at me unless they are sure they are interested in at least exchanging a few emails. And since I've included that request I've had a better rate of return.

Mine says likewise.

Even dimitri had more class.

Orange Swan, I completely relate to your sense of revenge. That sounds like something I would do.

I'm not on lavalife, but I am on nerve. Last night I met a girl for drinks; she was the second person from the site whom I've actually met.

Both women were obese, and were obviously using pictures of themselves that had been taken when they were in much better shape.


Before anyone jumps down my throat, let me say this: I used to be obese myself, am still overweight, and am quite sympathetic to overweight people in general, at all levels. However, this just seemed like a silly and counterproductive misrepresentation. Did they think I wasn't going to notice that they don't look like their pictures?

I came home and changed my own profile from 'a little extra padding' to 'average,' placing myself more appropriately on the body-type spectrum now that I have a better understanding of how others see it.

Really, I'm not looking for a girl out of a magazine. Both of those sweet young ladies had 'a little extra padding' as their selected body type, and I took that to mean that they were in the Jeneane Garafolo range (in the sense that I'm in the Jack Black range).

This is not just frustrating, but interesting. I wonder if they're aware that they don't look anything like their pictures anymore.

Meanwhile, my own pictures are unglamourized candids; I figured it was better to just be myself. But given what I've seen, I should probably have dashiv do some photo magic on me, lest someone viewing my pic assume that I must look much worse in person.

It seemed to me that he had wanted to make me waste my credits and be rude to me without fear of reprisal.

I had the satisfaction of confronting him and of showing him that the credits didn't mean as much to me as did operating on my own terms.

And, I just got an unsolicited smile from an incredibly hot and nice sounding guy;-)

Bingo, I'd be strictly honest on my profile, regardless of what other people do.

I will say for the lads though that they are generally very honest about their physical appearance. Guys who are 5'5" quite often say they are 5'7", but that's about the only appearance-related lie I've encountered.

Hewlett Packard is out to amp up the noise.

Like essexjan, I can't understand why you aren't beating off rich, handsome bachelors with a stick.

*is extremely glad he's not in the dating pool anymore*

Like the rest of the guys in here. . .if I were single and in your town I would be camping in your elevator, pining for a chance to just see you for a few moments.

I wish you luck, from here on.

That guy is a fuckin' loser. He should consider himself lucky he even *got a reply* from you.

Asshole.

What the others here said. You are extremely easy on the eyes and shouldn't worry about socially-challenged imbeciles like this. You should be surrounded by men. And you will be.

Good luck from here on out! Illegimiti non carborundum.

... pining for a chance to just see you for a few moments.
I think the correct term is "I would crawl a mile over broken glass just to smell one of your farts".

Party pooper!
