Was the last thing you said asking her out on a date?

@3bet, creeeeeepy. I would need a body tattoo of clothing, just to prevent the idea of you ever seeing me naked again.

[1 - (30% x 25%) ] ^ 9 ~= 50%

So, have protected sex with more than 9 randoms and you are more likely than not to contract Herpes. We can tweak the 25% figure based on women who would let you "lay pipe" despite barely knowing you and tweak the 30% to account for unprotected oral if you like.



Happy hunting!

This is the #1 worst thing in dating... I hate it so much!

Pretty sure it happens to everyone though, just gotta bounce back and move on. I personally have a bad habit of demanding that they tell me why they stopped talking to me.

Lolllll ok for the record, I don't let them see me sniffing my finger afterwards. Reminds me of a Chappelle skit when he walks into a boardroom meeting 12 hours late with a big smile and just says "excuse me, I got a little caught up" and proceeds to take a big whiff from his finger.

I usually just excuse myself to the bathroom as if I'm gonna go pee. Obv letting a girl see me sniff my finger after fingering would be disastrous

Have any of you used grouper (and if so, how was it)?

Also, if an app existed similar to grouper that threw you into mixed groups of 4-8 to do random stuff (like bowling, or drinks, or whatever), would you do it? Mostly as a means to just meet people, but I'm sure it'd devolve into some sort of quasi dating app.

I'm thinking small group meetup type thing, with a method to vet whether or not the person is interesting. An anonymous yes/no to hanging out again type of deal... and the more interesting people would start to get matched up together more. So, a way to get more people together, but behaving more like the real world.

I'm asking because I'm fed up with 1 on 1 all or nothing online dating. I want to meet new friends, and it doesn't seem like there's a good way to do it via the internet, so I'm going to build it.

Nch,

Why don't you join one of those co-ed recreational sports leagues? Kickball, softball, dodgeball, etc

Alternatively, while I've never used it, meetup sounds similar to what you're describing you want.

Also, read my link above. Common reasons associated with a stinky vag. Obv not all are stds but many are and even yeast infection can be transmitted. Does she have Gonorrhea or poor hygiene? I don't know, but I am not going to roll the dice
Here's my BBV version of this:

Beat: My last gf had a not so pleasant smelling vag
Brag: I've been with a really high number of women
Variance: Some of the hottest girls I've been with had not so pleasant smelling ones, and some of the most average girls had the nicest ones. In my experience, the girls that eat the healthiest (no vinegars, no fried foods, etc) have almost always had enjoyable smelling vag's.

Fwiw, I have no diseases, never have, and haven't used a condom in like 10 years. I might just consider myself lucky, but I have friends who are close to my number who also don't. I think unless you're banging some nasty drug addict, most girls who know they have something won't **** you, or at least not without demanding a rubber.

The leagues are long, and infrequent. I did a bunch in Boston, and if you get stuck on a team that isn't very fun, you're in it for 6-8 weeks. I am also thinking of a solution where, if it were say a Tuesday night and you wanted to do something, there'd be ways to meet other people.

Kind of like the volume and spontaneity of online dating, but for meeting friends.

Meetup.com has a lot of issues, most of which being it's way too all inclusive and big. It has solutions for everyone of every age group, etc... and I think it kind of got a stigma for being a bit lame/weird. If you could kind of tinderize the experience, it could be awesome.

I'm also posting this in the online dating forum because I think this would be a positive alternative to eventually meeting new friends/people to date in a better setting.

Nich,

Social sports/game leagues are awesome for meeting people, especially in shape 20-something girls. In SF there are so many different options that it's easy to stick with teams you like and drop/switch from teams that suck. Even if you are on a boring team, it's easy to meet lots of other people in the same league right away at the bar after the first game.

I agree that they're a good option. I have a few really good friends from some social sporting leagues. I guess the question I'm asking is whether or not my idea is weird/wouldn't be used. I much prefer small group settings, and like having options to do every night of the week if possible.

I don't think more options are a bad thing, and there's room for both.

I imagine most members would be social misfits to some degree? What's so hard about meeting people irl? There are plenty of reasons why a normal sociable person would online date; however, I can't think of too many reasons why someone would want to meet up with a group of strangers. It's a recipe for disaster.

Nich,

Btw, wrt your broader question, lots and lots of companies have tried to make a non-dating meet new friends business work, but so far nobody has been able to figure out something that really works. Even tinder is trying to do that: http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/21/tin...you-are-taken/

There are a bunch of new apps/sites that revolve around the general theme of matching up people who want to go do x (check out a band, a play, a talk, a bar, etc) near the same location/time, but again, none of them have found the secret sauce for people to want to meet up with strangers for purposes other than dating/banging. Meetup is the only one that has had any real significant success at that type of stuff so far.

Spot on, upon further consideration.

A girl on Match should have no problem meeting a guy. It bothers me how the ratio is so ridiculously awful.

Living in a major city is huge. I'm in the country in Connecticut and the pickens are extremely thin. I'm bombarded by gorgeous chicks from NYC that are lawyers and doctors, but no such luck in CT.

I'm having a huge flake problem. Even girls that message me first or like my photos/wink flake out hard. Conversation will seem to move along and then it just screeches to a halt and they are gone. Getting their phone number is a big hurdle and then actually meeting them is another.

If you are willing to put in a lot of time, or if you like black/hispanic chicks, you'll have some success. It's mostly a numbers game too. I'll have to search through this thread some more, but I'd be interested in seeing what you guys wrote in your profiles and what your messages are to these chicks.

Haven't you heard? People in their 20's don't join social groups.

I've bee FB messaging chicks I knew from when I lived in Des Moines. Won't open with any new girls because I won't be here long enough to build a rapport.

Went out to the casino last night with one, I had sex with her 3 years ago and will try to bang before I leave. Have another meeting lined up tomorrow. I've purposefully been very vague about when I'm leaving
