I've learnt to accept this and mostly it' true.. The fact that a girl/boy needs to be blind dated or advertise themselves on internet today mostly means they are not often looked at or wanted possibly because they ain't attractive enough (opposite of pretty, handsome, cute, beautiful, sexy, charming)... So, if you on a blind date, lower your expectations especially if you like pretty partners.. am i wrong?

Yup, you're wrong. :p
Often it's more of a mental problem than a physical problem. E.g. girls with low self esteems (many possible reasons, not only physical appearance), but that's not always the case. Normal people do actually chat online and meet people from online.

Then again, my normal isn't everybody else's normal :D

What's your personal experience?

I have a friend who met a stunningly pretty girl online. They dated and later married. She says she went online specifically to give the opportunity to get to know people without her looks being a major issue. She did post pics of herself but specifically chose average looking pics to downplay her looks.

I think its people with mental and physical issues :D

Dont date someone you met in a chatroom or on a dating website. You will have issues, and if you meet someone through mxit or something like that, expect the person to be ugly, chubby and poor.

You are wrong...kind of.ive met 3 stunning girls(And dated two of them) through blind dating...well it was through mxit so i dont know if that counts:)
But in a way your right because for every 1 hot girl i find in the chatroom theres 10-12 ugly girls.

The best thing is when you find a hot girl who thinks shes not pretty...i think the technical term for it is "Low self-image".

I met a girl through mxit and she was ****ing hot mate, to this day i stil think about her, great figure,nice ass,big tits,great personality,sexy as ****.ended up dating her for 6 months before she dumped me...so you do meet great girls through mxit/Blind dating.
But in general its a bad idea,ive been on mxit for 3 years but iv only ever met 4 girls thru it...and only 1 was ugly,chubby,fat etc

Wow, you look for girls with low self-image? How screwed up is that...

One day you'll realise that the only girls actually worth being with are confident and independent, unless for some odd reason you like high maintenance.

I guess some people have low self esteem themselves so having a girl with low self image who becomes dependent on them is attractive?

Fern9do
22-03-2008, 10:57 AM
Haha...wel i didnt think about it that deeply rsd...just prefer a pretty girl who doesnt think shes the best thing since minki v.d westhuizen.
From my (Limited) experience i find that girls who know that they are very sexy are more high maintenance, and give you alot more sleepless nights as shel usualy flirt with most guys.

Id rather take a pretty girl with a few "issues" anyday.

22-03-2008, 11:00 AM
Fair enough, each to his own I guess.

I think there's a graph of insanity vs hotness, so you just need to hit the right balance :D

Edit: There are always exceptions, but generally sexier girls are less sane, for whatever reason

Did two blind dates, was not impressed.. Never been on mixit! Seems cool for what am gathering in this thread, but won't try't ... Facebook!!!? have coupler friends there but all taken... i've been skyped by three strangers (3 gals), but they all fat & don look good. From that i thought pretty gals won't go all out to find guys on skype since every guy wants them.. In fact, pretty gals do not easily make friends with guys online...

Try www.fastdate.co.za - I've never been to speed dating but went to a singles party once. Lots of fun (some clean, some dirty)!

I know a girl who is perfect in every aspect. Kind, caring, beautiful, sexy, even has me as a friend (maybe, sort of), intelligent, mentally solid as a rock ... but there's a catch.

She's already married ... to an engineer. A university engineer. The kind of engineer that walked straight out of university into a job at SAP. :(

I would sell my soul to have at least some kind of romantic relationship with her.

My experience ..... Blind Dating: have only been 'let down' once and it still wasn't that bad (I was just being picky). All other blind dates have been very cool and some even turned into relationships. Now Internet Dating on the other hand has been mostly bad. Like a ratio of 1 cool chick to every 10 (let's be nice and say) 'ugly ducklings'. Strangely the two cool ones I had, the chicks were both from Joburg. Met one and had a fling (damn hot and bi to boot ;) ). Suppose it depends on your luck but I would rather blind date any day.

I reckon though that if you just want to 'score with a sexy girl' there are cost and time effective ways of doing that.

If you want a long term serious relationship then looks are generally not the factor that make it last.

Maybe you guys are right but like ive said from my own experience ive met 3 pretty girls...but then again mxit is not a dating service so mayb it doesnt count.Personaly i would never go on a blind date or register for an internet dating service. Its an accident waiting for a place to happen:)

And in real life what % of the population is pretty and single? If as you seem to say looks determine or relationship status then the % online will match the % in real life.

I just don't buy the fact that only ugly desperate people go online. All walks of life from attractive, successful professionals to depressed hermits use dating services to find partners. I'm sure the ratios are the same as in off-line dating.

As I mentioned earlier. Singles parties are really fun and you know everyone there is single so there is no trying to figure out who is with who etc. Even at these parties there are people from all walks of life. Some just looking for new friends (with potential) and some desperate to get married before sunrise.

I don't think that is entirely true. Lots of professional people are too busy for real social lives and look to the internet. In the looks department they would be a representative bunch I guess.

She has 2. But both of them are much older ... 12 and 15 years older. But no close to the caliber woman their youngest sister is.

She is primary school teacher. She was destined to be a primary school teacher. When she gives you a caring look ... your heart melts. She has the ability to engage you at a level that's almost hypnotic ... but with a 100% noble intention.

I've met hot girls via Internet dating and such. Many use it to make friends but we all know how that goes... You put on a bit of charm and you can organise, others SAY they just want friends but they want more, they just don't wanna reveal that just yet.

I've also met some 'not so nice looking' woman, but even those are really nice people.

You see guys, placing a ad online or such, allows you to be specific, like for example, if i had to place an add, i'd say "i want a non smoker" and generally, I can find one.

People don't want to waste their time, for example, dating someone to only find out they smoke like bloody chimneys etc or, they hate kids (but you want kids) etc etc etc.

Everyone has busy social lives etc... many woman don't wanna waste time, they wanna try find soul mates etc (you know how woman are, emotional beasts)

Well, if you're 30, start acting your age and leave other men's wives alone.
And in the spirit of the grammar-nazi thread, the plural of "woman" is "women". Take heed gdiza, or the grammar nazi's will get you!

To be honest with you, I think that's absolute s#it. Some of the nicest people who I know are not that advanced when it comes to looks. Not only "ugly" people use blind dates, some people do not have time or are too much of a damn gentleman to make a chick drunk and then ask her out

re dating sites - I think folks are still seeing them through a 'colonial' viewpoint - ie: 'must be something wrong with folks if they're doing it'.. Truth is, in normal societies with high speed net and lots more people - its just another way of meeting people..

Bear in mind, SA's net population is real tiny, in comparison to the US or the EU..

Ok, guys...

First of all do not get any expectation when you meet any lady from the Internet Dating Website Arena., I've heard all rumors in this field, as I've developed,designed,helped various dating website portals and trust me. I've spoken to many of our clients, some ladies and gentlemen join such "website" as they hardly have no social life, and just want to truly meet people as friends,dating,couple,swingers,flings,movies etc......
For a decent night out I'd recommend you try other sites like www.smartdate.co.za, now that is what I call blind dates, go socialize with the lovely ladies, who knows you might meet your match, and hook-up and have beautiful lovely children together.

Thats just my experience from mxit...you do get great girls who use it, i know its easy to say "Only ugly people use dating services" but it couldnt be further from the truth.

Well that remark is totally a discrimantion, that only "Ugly People use MXIT" We are all children of God, and nobody is ugly reflect upon yourself, they are human like you and me, but calling someone "Ugly" is total disrespect... Just call them "Unique Images/Attribution"

I shall admit, sadly, I had done the whole internet date thing. I just clicked with this guy...it was really sad that he was in another province. There's something unique about these kinds of relationships, thought....you tend to find that here you focus on the kind of conversation that's made and how you two get along. There's more SPEAKING involved, as opposed to modern wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am relationships. You really have to get on REALLY SUPER DUPER WELL with someone to do an internet-long-distance kinda thing.

Generally it ended in tears for both of us, but hey - was fun while it lasted.

I use mxit, and am certainly not ugly. I have a contract with Ice Models, and am in no way socially or physically awkward, thank you very much.

The potential stalkers and descrimination DO make it a problem though. Everyone has their own opinion of beautiful. Let me add that I love my current boyfriend. If anybody posts burners as comments on my photo, I will rip off their botox-lusting-after heads.

Dude really now, how do you feel when you see couples cuddling all over the place? Pulling out your laptop?

I don't deny that it is difficult. But love isn't only about the physical aspect. There are many more segments to the real love eg. true communication, integrity, honesty, sympathy, etc.

The modern world has made the physical aspect the focal point of love when in fact this might only be lust and hence the high rate of infidelity in our society IMO.

Without true communication a relationship withers and dies. It may seem hard for you have a relationship like mine but isn't it really a test of your will power and morals? People in close physical contact with their partners on a daily basis still succumb to their urges, so how difficult do you think it is when your partner is like 10000km away. Difficult - yes; impossible no.

Both of us are 26 years and still virgins; different races and religions but very common interests. When I chatted to her for the first time something just click - we were able to communicate so freely and easily, like poetry in motion:).

From that point on it didn't really matter what she looked like because my heart had already decided. We did exchange photos after and I wasn't disappointed:D.

But the bottom line is love isn't about the way one looks but more about the person inside the body. Physical beauty is just a bonus on a winning personality;).A model may look hot but if she has the temperament of a werewolf where would love factor into that kind of relationship?

My 2c; like it don't like it; I don't really care:).

Anyone catching 3Talk right now? They are discussing social anxiety disorder. Even hot women suffer from this ;). This makes them prime candidates for online relationships.

*nods* Agreed with this statement. It's been said on MyADSL in the past few few months too : hot girls with issues hang around online.


I don't deny that it is difficult. But love isn't only about the physical aspect.

No, it's not all about the physical contact. But wow ... physical contact is very important. I'm not talking sex - just physical contact.

Friend of mine has met his beautiful fiancé through web dating.
One of my ex's i met online.

Ive even created a few profiles on a couple sites just to see whats out there, and wow there are alot of people using it.
Always end up meeting somebody IRL and getting together, so havent really had a chance to actually try hook up with somebody through web dating..
Always wanted to try that speed dating though, looks like a lot of fun, and easy to meet loads of women.

Maybe the dating service talked about today on www.2oceansvibe.com is what you're looking for. It says they only have "8,9 and 10's" on their books.

The manufacturers also said DDT wasn't dangerous for humans. Someone profiting off something is never going to tell the truth if his product is bad.

I don't deny that it is difficult. But love isn't only about the physical aspect. There are many more segments to the real love eg. true communication, integrity, honesty, sympathy, etc.

The modern world has made the physical aspect the focal point of love when in fact this might only be lust and hence the high rate of infidelity in our society IMO.

Without true communication a relationship withers and dies. It may seem hard for you have a relationship like mine but isn't it really a test of your will power and morals? People in close physical contact with their partners on a daily basis still succumb to their urges, so how difficult do you think it is when your partner is like 10000km away. Difficult - yes; impossible no.

Wow, you look for girls with low self-image? How screwed up is that...

One day you'll realise that the only girls actually worth being with are confident and independent, unless for some odd reason you like high maintenance.

I guess some people have low self esteem themselves so having a girl with low self image who becomes dependent on them is attractive?

Its pretty common. I've been a victim & a witness of these things:p Older men with careers, educated wives etc dating varsity first years; Dashing, but very average foreign guys reaping a swathe through pretty local chicks /sigh/.


Fair enough, each to his own I guess.

I think there's a graph of insanity vs hotness, so you just need to hit the right balance :D

Edit: There are always exceptions, but generally sexier girls are less sane, for whatever reason

The Hot/Crazy scale

Way back (Way, way back...) when I got into an online relationship with an ex-pat who lived in London. Before we came over she mentioned she wanted her mom to quickly meet me in a public place before going on a date. After this happened she made some excuse and never did hook up with me.

The moral of the story is that guys need to be careful. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the guys talking about ugly chicks dating online are themselves considered to be the ugly ducklings.

Nah, I looked like a shaggy 16 year old concentration camp victim at the time. I only really appealed to the young grunge girls back then.

She was an older more professional type.

You need a balance, as both have their cons :

A girl that is super confident and independant knows who she wants, when she wants and will get it (will cheat). They'll see a guy in the club and pinpoit him as her guy of the night.

A girl that is opposite with a low esteem, will lurk on the internet and enjoy the fact that she can have 20 nerds running after her, telling her how hot she is and fabulous she is, SMSing stupid cheesy messages to her daily. They'll join every forum, chatroom, MXiT, social networking site they can find.

If you go out with this girl, you'll contantly be competing with the virtual guys and the social networking sites.

Girls with low esteem in my experience are more prone to hooking up with random guys for approval, or making guys fight over her so she can feel good about herself. Conversely, there are also girls with massive confidence all over the socnets.

What I really don't get are the ones that choose an online over someone they actually see everyday. Being in someone's company, going out, holding hands, nursing each other through swine flu & so on, is far superior to online interaction. Maybe online is less threatening? Meh.
