As far as I can tell though, straight profile sites have a bit more...dignity to them. When I visit gay profile sites sometimes I can't help but feel I'm visiting a meat market. >.>
Nice to meet you, Mr. Misc Abdomen! How do you do?
Personally though... socially inept people like myself don't really know how to break the ice even when I find someone decent looking. How on earth does one intro themselves to another person they hardly know gracefully... and yet make an impression? Looking back, I think all my attempts to message these strangers thus far have been neither graceful nor making a good impression.

Ban: Hi there.... er, maybe it's not such a good idea that you use your real name for your profile? You're in the closet right?
-------
Ban: Hey, ...I noticed you wrote you're not looking for ONS yet you've listed yourself as looking for action/sex in your profile. Just thought I'd point it out.

Okay, two messages ain't all that many but I'm still kicking myself over it now. What's two profiles in the sea of profiles, right? ...meh.
I'm not sure why I bother. Like I said before, it's not like I really want to look for a replacement boyfriend. I could use some of the stability of singlehood right now, after the last relationship. I'm not even feeling remotely lonely, and I don't think it would be very fair to the next bf-to-be that I'm on a rebound. So why bother?
Consider; I'm already 28. My first and last relationship went bust only very recently. Finding someone decent willing to date on profiles can be an extremely length process, what with having to sift through piles upon piles of pictures of pecs/abdominals and empty profile descriptions. I guess my pragmatic side is telling me to start looking now so that I don't stay single the rest of my life. Now if only it would tell me to brush up my self-introduction skills before saying hi to the next decent guy. @.@
5 Hoppity Hop(s):
Did I mention I only went online for 5 minutes, looked at profiles got disgusted, then left for good?
You know what I think about clubbing and meeting people there, so you definitely know what I think about profiling. ;)
It's a game of numbers lah. You sift through as many profiles as you can and *hopefully* you'll find someone you like, and *hopefully* that someone likes you back :)
Sam: Clubbing and meeting people isn't all that bad. At least you get to see the person in real life. :)
Sam: Heh. Well, you never know when you'll find a treasure.
Lllearned: Hopefully. But I'm considering sticking to people I meet through friends.
I don't think he's so fussed about going clubbing so much as meeting random people through clubbing.
Did you find my fridae profile?
Wow, must be the season for it.
Happy new year and all that superficial crap, too.
Take care tho, eh?
