I hate people

Posted 07-09-2011 at 06:54 AM by Nate
So, I connect with this nice-looking guy online, we chat for a bit, realise we have a lot in common and decide to meet up. Turns out the photo is a few years old, when he was a few kilos lighter. Still a nice guy, but the slight pot belly (not to mention the bushy chest hair sticking out the top of his shirt) is a bit of a turnoff. I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not shallow, so we're still hanging out and seeing how things go.

Meanwhile, I get a message from a really hot guy. Droolworthy. He seems quite nice and flirty, but because it's going to be tough to keep in contact whilst I'm overseas for a month, we add each other on Facebook. Turns out his picture must be at least 10 years and 15-20 kilograms old. It barely even looks like the same person.

*sigh*

You hate tractors? Ye big townie pisspot.

It may seem shallow, but if it bothers you that much just forget him. You may connect, but not as much to make you overlook the fact. Plus, he should've given you a heads up before hand, like, warning you he was a bit different.

Also, go for the hot guy.

That's just what I would do.

I know exactly how you feel Nate...............

Keep searching though. My boyfriend was actually better in person than he looked in the pictures. Youll find somebody exactly like that soon

I think it is best to say, before anyone lectures you on vanity and shallow behaviour, that we no one wants to be with a munter. Having good looks is generally quite important, that''s why the human race is getting prettier as it evolves. The 'ugly' people are weeded out.

This is why online date sites are fail.

I was going to say "online dating", but that would make me a hypocrite. Sites specifically tailored to match people up are generally a piss-poor way to go about meeting honest suitors. They have very specific criteria to fill out, which gives everyone the opportunity to lie their asses off. I think alot of them are lying more to themselves than to their prospective dates, like putting their weight a few kilos below and promising themselves they'll lose weight before hooking up, adding a few figures to their income because who's going to check that, right?

If you do meet online, I think it's best there be a few months of fairly intimate correspondence before you agree to meet up. This isn't even me being old-fashioned, it's just the smart thing to do.

Which hot guy?

Sekto: Perhaps, but there aren't many alternatives. I read recently that whilst 20% of the general population are meeting their significant other online (though not necessarily just dating sites), that rises to 60-70% amongst The Gays.

Also, a few months is a bit excessive. A week or so is sufficient to find out whether someone is a good conversationalist, and then that can be transferred to a coffee easily enough.

That's bullshit.

I meant a few months before deciding if there can be a relationship, not if they're worth your time. Sorry I didn't make that clear

I think at the very least, you should request to connect via webcam before meeting them in person. A bit demanding I suppose, but considering 60-70% of single gay men are dating online, I can't imagine many of them would have a problem jumping through a few hoops to hook up with someone. This way you can prevent any further nasty surprises.

I think that if I asked that of the typical gay man, he'd assume I was requesting cam sex. Not quite the message I try to project.

The ugly people aren't weeded out. In fact they seem to have five-times as many kids as everyone else.

Ench is right. The human race is not evolving to be prettier, even if there was an inheritable correlation, since the genes from two attractive people may not create an attractive child, the features may simply not go well together or recessive features may emerge. Similarly, I have seen some real hotties produced by, in a word, trolls.

On a selection basis, attractive individuals are in high demand as partners, and thus have their pick, usually similarly beautiful people (though there are other desirable traits also). The "nines" left get their pick of who is left, and so on. The ugliest people are not going to not breed just because they didn't get the prettiest partners. It is observed that people most often acquire partners of similar levels of attractiveness (by whoever's reckoning), just as it is observed that uglier people are not less reproductively successful.

Fair enough BM, I was only repeating something I had heard once, and didn't ever put much thought into the truthfulness it presented.

Every time Bullet Magnet is referred to as BM, I can't help but think of the acronym's commonplace meaning "bowel movement".

It gets me in real life since I started reflexively answering to "BM".

Really? I recently reacted quite negatively to being called 'Nate'.

This... uhhh... this explains so many of your posts.

Which is far stranger than answering to BM.

It's only natural. It's become part of my identity.

Well, one of them.
