I have a friend at work who has open relationships but it only works because all people involved are in the know about, and that open line of communication is what I think is so hard.

for the record, i love my wife and am monogamous and thats how i roll.

That's how it's marketed. But it's also for people who are into poly relationships. The John Oliver story from last week had me thinking it was just for citizens of Ottawa but it's worldwide. I guess it's safer than Craigslist.

I dunno, I'm all for monogamy, and I remain hopeful that I will find someone I want to call my wife again, but it's hard. I've been on the most fun dates that go nowhere (which is fine) and some dates where I think I blew it that end up in short term relationships or at least a one night stand. And mothership's right, going to a bar and just talking to someone is pretty easy, even if it means you walk home alone, but it's tough because everybody's on their phones, probably on tinder and NOT talking to each other. And I dunno, I can't be that jerk that comes up and talks to someone who's looking at their phone. They could be on Tinder but they could also be texting their mom because their dad just died. You never know. It used to be just a few of us at the bar reading a book and people thought that was weird. Now everybody's a fucking ostrich in a social setting. :(

So I could use this website to date Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, AND Kitana, all at the same time?

Interesting...

Assuming they're on there.. I've had a hard time finding much more than the bridge and tunnel crowd on tinder and Okc..

That just gave me a really good idea... what about having a site that looks and runs like a standard social media dating site, only it's based on chatbots and dating sims? It'd be like an eroge MMO, where players can date the virtual girls, boys, ponies, lolis, and griffox-slimekin of their dreams?

It could open itself up to all kinds of modding support, Augmented Reality integration, and a continuous revenue stream via micropayment-driven virtual e-dates.

Like, let's say you were a big fat dork who really wanted to date Princess Sally Acorn. We could provide a page, and an AI simulation, for Princess Sally, allowing you to go there and "date" her. Depending on the popularity of a given "girl", we could maybe set it so that you had to woo her first, with gifts bought via Paypal; you could then take her on virtual dates to the virtual park (at a reasonable hourly rate), and if she's a premium character, even buy virtual clothes for her virtual avatar. Maybe we could have achievements for the achievement whores ("Bang Ten Girls in One Night!") or even enable some competitive play functionality; like maybe if you're jealous of all of Sally's other boyfriends, you can pay extra to have her dump them across the entire server! This could lead to lock-out bidding wars, whereby one dangerously obsessive player could prevent all other users from dating "his" gf, unless the rest of the users are able to pool together enough cash to outbid him.

Obviously, more popular/ more exotic girls would cost more, so while dating a generic moe girl might cost very little, dating an underage character, like Jade from Jackie Chan Adventures, or a celebrity, like the Officially Licensed Hatsune Miku, would cost quite a bit!

I really think this could work.

I like this idea. SL has mods that sort of do this, but it'd be the Borderlands 2 to New Vegas if you will!

But what would be really cool is if the goal is to meet in the real world, like an actual dating service. I dunno if you use OKC but people tell me I don't get matches because I don't answer these stupid survey questions, like "would you rather be a dog or a cat?"... Fuck that, and Tinder's just a game of left and right. And sure, people who play SL and WOW and whatever do sometimes meet in real life and hook up, it's true, but that's not the game's intent. I mean, sometimes people hook up through facebook too, you never know, but the MO with online dating websites isn't that you WILL get a date but that you might get a one, unlike the other examples I mentioned.

It just sounds like more fun than answering these dumb questions about shit I don't really care about, and a much better way to potentially get to know someone in the real world who is actually like you! Like, I guess there's comicons and broniecons and concons and any other con you can think of, but to me that's like going to see a band. I didn't come there to meet anybody and sure as shit not talk, or at conventions talk about things that aren't what the convention is about.

Zest, a sweet guy like you needs to consider sharing that love with those who need it most.

I know you're the type to just melt when you walk past a pet store.

The local bar I usually go to used to be right next door to a pet store so you're right! There were the two sweetest guinea pigs in the window. But now it's a bike shop, three blocks away from another bike shop.. but I refuse to go to the cat bar by my work because that's catsploitation. You can go there and sit there for free but to see the cats you have to pay. The cats aren't going to see that money! I did meet one on that inmate site. It was the first one I clicked on.

They don't say the crime but I'm guessing it had something to do with selling Ketamine which is only a schedule 3! I know lots of people who've sold Vicodin that's prescribed to them and that's a 2. Sadly though I don't think the website's very up-to-date. It says she's 24 and was born in 1980, which makes her two years older than me, so she'd be 36 now and while her release date isn't until 2018 (that seems like a really long time if my theory is right) she'd be about 40, which is fine, but 37-40 year olds find me immature and childish.. :(

zzzzz

I meant "zzzz" towards this video not your Xanga story pussy conquering story. Oh well, I guess I hit reply somewhere on my way to the comment box. Sorry but my one star still stands!

Holy shit Xanga!! That's like getting me hooking up on BBS servers when I was 18 (it happened once!) It's in the hopper but John Oliver did a pretty good piece about this last week that at least explains what happened; for some it's a bit more palatable than our friend in a hat here. It is a pretty fascinating story, and definitely puts the "E" in this site that fills the void that cats sadly cannot, unless they're being illegally poached.
