Escapist Dating

[BENZOOKA]

Never heard of anything like that happening, until reading through this thread.

At least I certainly live an unreasonable distance from almost everyone here.

But I'm still a wonderful person. Kind of. Okay, not really.

Doubt it, well, whenever a girl posts she notrmaly gets Bombarded with guys, be it quoting her post or sucking up to her. much easier to meet irl.

I've never experienced this on the Escapist. This is the only online community I've ever participated in where the overwhelming majority of males have brains, act decently, and can piece together complete sentences.

Either the Escapist does a good job attracting an intelligent male audience, or the mods do a good job keeping them in line. I'm guessing it's a bit of both.

So.. how are you doing?

She does seemed to have jinxed herself, hasn't she?

When your user name is MasochisticMuse, I think it's less jinxing and more deliberately asking for it (absolutely not intended as inuendo, but funny how things work out eh? Maybe she is jinxed?)

We both ended up getting banned from there for unclear reasons. So we both migrated over here to the escapist.

Well, if you're anything like your avatar Lilith, you probably accidentally shocked someone while phasewalking?


Sorry couldn't resist cheesy Borderlands joke xD

I actually met my boyfriend on here, PandyBear =]

He lives about 170 miles away from me at the moment (which is fine, we deal with the distance), but I hope to get on a course in the next town over to him next year so we'll see how that goes!

We met on a thread talking about being 'old-fashioned' in relationships, whicch is odd when you see where we are now...

I remember you... That was kinda amusing. [sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]Why you leave out knife osaka?[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

OT: Tried dating someone on here. (wont name names)
The relationship was good, but the distance was a killer, well that am my instabilities.
Would I try it again?
...
Perhaps, not right now though.

- but given that a lot of us aren't exactly experienced enough at dating outside of The Escapist anyway, it's going to be a rarity.

That's a sweeping assumption to make, speak for yourself...

I can speak for myself very comfortably. I am twenty-two years old, and I will never have a romantic partner. No woman has ever been interested in somebody who has installed a 1960s computer operating system for the purposes of entertainment. I have essentially rescinded my ability to ever engage in romance ever again, and I'm now actively looking for a way to completely destroy any impulses I have for romantic thought.

As such, all of the romantic threads on The Escapist that aren't in the Advice Forum depress me. Yes, I get it - I lost the genetic lottery and you didn't. You don't have to constantly laugh in my fucking face.

I know quite a few people who would find installing a 60's OS for entertainment to be hot or at the very least interesting. It certainly wouldn't be some sort of awful dealbreaker for anyone I can think of. Some people like to go to the gym, you like to mess around with historical software. There are people that get that.

However, if this post is representative of how you present yourself to others, I suppose you might end up being right.

A predilection for computer-based curiosities does not equate to losing the genetic lottery in terms of finding a partner.
You're thinking of hereditary erectile dysfunction. Heaven knows how you got those things mixed up.
Seriously, my partner would be quite impressed with the fact that you managed to find and install something so archaic.

Though it would appear that you've given up anyway, and that's not going to attract anybody. But don't blame computers for something they didn't do.

Just for the record, to all girls attending Escapism UK this year: I'm single...

Depends on where gets the most votes...

Hai der I'll just make you fall in love with me, spend all your money, make you by me all my drinks (pending your age, ofc) and then completely shatter your self-esteem and dreams of us.

I look forward to meeting you

Aww, I kid. I think...


-------------------------------------------------
OT From what some people have said about having relationships on here/other sites.
Are they just cyber relationships, where you haven't actually met for all these months you've been together?

I could never do that myself, I'd have to meet the person on a regular basis (I've met an ex on the interwebs, he lived 500 miles away, but saw eachother regular enough, and at one point lived together)

But I couldn't just rely on good old webcams or Skype to keep my relationsip going without being with the person physically.
Good on you who can manage it, though.

 

[Ironrose]

I am slowly unfolding a plan to have a sexual encounter with every male on this site.
I have begun by pointing out my female-ness at every opportunity and will soon move to the second phase of being suggestive and seductive towards all forum dwellers.

on a serious note haven't found a relationship or anything here but have found a good friend or two who I frequently talk to (usually every day) via other means.

 

[Realitycrash]

If I recall correctly, (according to Second Skin documentary) for every SINGLE female online, there are 10 males.

Good luck finding one, let alone beating the other 90% of us.

I have no problem beating you. I'm that smug.

..I'll just beat you from behind, with a crowbar.

AHH! I can't speak with women, I play video-games and berate people on forums to make up for my timid physical stature!

>>..Err..I mean..Ey, yo! -Channels the Fonz-

 

[RobCoxxy]

I think the M/F ratio isn't even enough either, which doesn't help.

As long as it's better than my university, joked about being 8:1, actually found out to be 9:1.

Fucking Sausagefest.

You could have just ASKED, you know.

 

[Katana314]

As much as I'd like to meet someone, something about me is against having it happen over the web. Painfully ironic as it's where I spend an enormous amount of my time.

And yet, logically I can't help but feel that it somehow makes a relationship more "pure" - you're not basing off visuals until you eventually meet.

 

[Fenring]

I'd be open to it if there was someone in my area; however, I've got a date thing today, so... Go me.

Edit: Too late. /Facepalm

 

[superbatranger]

I realize my location bars me from pursuing a relationship with anyone on this site. I don't even think I've seen anyone else from Costa Rica on this site.
