The grass ain't greener on the other side

I know I haven't been around lately. Well, I haven't been on POF in a long time and it is hard to be the Angry POF guy when I'm not going to POF any more. I've been 4 months POF-free. I should get some kind of certificate or token like AA. (I did briefly look in but I saw nothing worth bitching about, just the usual tired faces and golddiggers still hoping for a sugar daddy.)

Someone suggested other sites, like MeetMe or Fetlife. Someone guaranteed I'd "get laid" at Fetlife. This person must have underestimated the area of the country I live in; Cincinnati is a shitty town for dating, as finding a mate is apparently difficult enough to make headlines. Hell, Daily Beast gives Cincy a C rating for the singles here, and I think that's being generous.

Well, I did try out a couple of other places. As it turns out, these other places suck as much ass as POF. Maybe it is just online dating in general that sucks or maybe just because I live in the 'Nasty Nati." Whatever the case, it gives me something to rant about.

MEETME

I made an account and make a couple of quick friends. However, the dating scene there is just as flaky. I met this one woman on MeetMe, a slightly heavyset gal (I'm a chubby chaser, folks so I'm not complaining) who described herself as "sweet but somewhat opinionated." Sweet like Saccharin, perhaps? We get to talking and she's the one who suggests we meet. We exchange numbers but she never commits to an actual meet and never calls. She stuck with random texts for a while. Finally we set up a day to meet, and I get stood up. After she pulled this stunt a second time, I finally asked her why we bother talking at all. She responds she already removed my phone number from her phone (yet is still magically able to send a few annoying texts afterword). Then, she goes back on MeetMe and laments how no man appreciates her and how hard it is to find a good man, and all men are jerks, etc. MeetMe/ more like Mute Me, which is what I had to do with her.

FETLIFE

I think the people of Fetlife are all talk no action, at least going by the gal I met there. I talked with one, and once again I got the same can't hold a conversation routine I see at POF. Second gal who contacts me chats with me, and we exchange numbers. We chat for a month (I took a cross country trip so I was gone for nearly a all month) until finally we meet.

She invites me to her place, and we watch a movie together, we get a little hot and heavy but just as things seem to be going well, she says she's not really feeling that well so asked me to leave, and I never heard from her again. What a fucking tease!

VERDICT: Both sites suck ass. It is the same tired bullshit from POF. Lets face it-- online dating in general is complete bullshit. You want to meet someone? Try USA Sex Guide or Naughty Reviews, because escorts are cheaper in the long run, and at least you can read the reviews to see which ones are legit. Fuck online dating and if you are offended by this, fuck you too.
