Anyone here actually interested in a relationship?

I love the fact that anon said "Post a picture, pussy.", but only has one dimly lit half faced picture, a dog and an anime character. As for me? I'm taken and couldn't care less about this topic.

@Naomi: I hate to say this but I have to, your very ignorant. What you consider "normal" is your own perception. It doesn't mean it's true or absolute for everyone else. Also, the reason people are upset (including myself) for not having a girlfriend is not fully true or absolute either. I'm not really upset I'm basically venting. The reason I vent is because maybe a girl "my soul mate" will see it and understand my emotions. The reason I'm upset is because I haven't found my "soul mate" not a "girlfriend". A few girls do actually accept me for my wracked ass or using your words "weird" behavior in real life. I've even found two on here that would accept me for me. I'm not looking to "date" I want my "soul mate" right off the bat. Not all females are like you and thank god for that. Your logic is only true or absolute for you, not me or every other person on the planet. I won't read nor will I respond to your reply if you do reply. I won't read it even if you reply on my profile. People with your characteristics really put a bug on my ass. But anyway feel free to gloat or whatever you like to do.

@Anon I did that already. In the sexy pics thread no less. Straight out the shower. Heck! I was still IN the shower when I took the picture. Used it as my avatar and basically walked around the site naked. XD @Naomi Unlike Illuminous, I find your point of view on things quite interesting. I understand what you're talking about, but I'll still bring up points of my own since I like giving out all types of reasons for anyone's view on something. And I'll go with my reasoning first. The keyword here is "want". Yes, I want a relationship. But I don't really need one nor care if I get one or not at this point in my life. Since my reasons are rather selfish anyway currently. My reason for not posting a picture of myself is basically I don't want to and I don't have that many pictures of myself. I definitely don't have any current pictures because I don't like taking them really and mine never really turn out well. Aside from that, my ex has an account on this site as well. Granted she had one here long before I even met her, but I don't want her to even have the slightest hint that I'm here since she'll just get stupid jealous at any female like person I'd say hi to. And this is mainly to keep unneeded drama happening since I know most people here would complain about it in an instant. And I just don't feel like dealing with unneeded things. Now, like said before, I'll send a picture in private if someone asks. It doesn't hurt to ask after all. Also, I feel that sharing pictures is more of a trust thing with some here. Since, in all honestly, you can very easily lie with pictures. Since Google Images is a thing and all. People can simply take pictures and use it for whatever evil plans they can cook up. I did it once just to reply to a random person on Craigslist, but the person never replied back for me to see if the plan would work or not. Yes, looks may be an important part of attraction and all. But a picture really can't be all that helpful at times. Especially if someone likes using different filters on their photos to look "better" or "cute" for dating sites. Overall, I just like video chatting better. I have more reasons, but I think I've already said too much for one post. I'm not trying to change your point of view, I'm just seeing if you at least understand other points. Whether you like those points or not, I don't care. Understanding overall, is fine with me. Also, since I forgot to mention, I don't think most people will see it like that if there's no picture. Some might but not most. And it makes perfect sense for some, if not all, of the females here to not even show pictures. Guys on the other hand are like a 50/50 shot with getting any weird creeper girl, but that's like really rare though.

@Naomi, I don't disagree with you at all. A majority of people do look for pictures for a physical attraction. I just see it in a way that you shouldn't solely base that person on a picture online I suppose. I kind of see it in the way of that everyone deserve a chance and a benefit of the doubt. True many people who don't have pictures may have self-esteem/trust issues but it's becoming less of a likely case nowadays. If you can establish more of an emotional attraction, I feel like looks wont be as big of a factor. Now, I'm not denying looks play a major role,, I just feel like it shouldn't be a key factor online. Still on that same note as Hoodedfang was saying, that person may/may not be genuine and that can go for pictures of personalities as well so in some cases I can see why a person would prefer to video chat and such as a way of proof. @Illuminous I wholeheartedly disagree with that aspect of thinking. How can you know if someone is your soul mate right of the bat if you don't even attempt to try? Not seeking a girlfriend is one thing I'm fine with that. But everything is a two way street with anything in life. Secondly, no one is normal in any word of the term. You're right that a person's view of something may seem to be normal and another persons being vastly different. But, simply shutting one out and being one-sided doesn't help understand what one's standards of normality is. Thirdly, being upset and venting is fine, nitpicking about every little thing is no longer venting either in my opinion, it's now becoming complaining. I understand people go through hard times and need to vent, but at one point in time you need to kind of pull yourself up and move on. It goes on with what Naomi said earlier (I think on this thread) about being able to change, you can't change what others do around you but you can change what you can control yourself. I know lots of people (myself included) that are rather weird, socially awkward, and even worse than that. Still, I've seen people far worse off than I have been try to better themselves, no matter how hard it was. Being creepy and such is fine and people do accept that, but honestly I see more people complaining and not taking action and asking themselves, "Why me?" instead of, "What can I do to get through this rough time and to make myself better off?"

@Naomi Well thanks. I understand how you would feel about that. And whether you're right or wrong in general, you can't help how you feel and no one can really change your feelings either. From what I've experienced and seen on many different sites, I see your view to be both right and wrong. Yes, it is common for scammers to just have accounts with no real pictures. But I've seen scammers use real pictures as well. Talk to you like any other person would. And then notice that they were a scammer the whole time. This is part of the reason of pictures being a lie at times. As for people hiding because they feel unattractive, it doesn't seem like the case to me from what I've noticed both here and on other sites. Though what I find attractive may differ, I've seen a good amount of unattractive people with pictures. Some kind of make me react and say "AH!" with a rare few being straight up ugly. I never put any thought on first impressions, or just never noticed such a thing when it comes to people I meet. My mind is always changing how I think of a person as I get to know them. After a while, I have a pretty good idea on how I should act when interacting with them and the types of jokes I can and can't use around them. And since I tend to always be looking away from a person when I talk to them irl, looks aren't really a thing when it comes to first impressions for me. Their actions when they first start talking to me is how I start thinking on how to handle them. Over the time I be around them more is when I finally have a thought that I start seeing them as. But before that, they just remain as an unknown type of person like before I ever met them. Though it might sound contradictory somewhere, I just never thought about first impressions at all. I don't think I ever cared. I find it sorta funny that you will automatically skip over people without pictures to those that do. Basically every dating site says that you'll get more attention when you upload pictures. I know that people will get more attention with pictures, but that's also the problem. You'll go to someone that has a picture. Someone that got your attention because of it. But they also got a lot of other people's attention as well. So you're just fighting against other people that are drawn to that person as well. For me, that seems like an annoying hassle. I don't like to bother a person like that by being guy number 324 in trying to talk to them. So I take my chances with talking to people that don't have any pictures. Overall, I tend to do well and talk to someone nice. Like you, I didn't originally join this site to make friends or to date. My reason for joining was for perverted reasons. Well mainly to see something and to be gone after a week or two. But I ended up staying here. And it seems that I rambled on again, didn't even fully reply to everything I wanted to. I think. Well I hope this will do for now.

Yes. But, let's be honest here. The majority of people on here are either taken, looking for friends only, or are troll accounts (Yes, I've seen them.) The original intention of this site was in fact, dating, but it serves as a social site as well. Personally, this can actually be quite frustrating/demotivating for alot of us singles, but what more to do? We can't very well ban everyone who isn't single from the site. Wouldn't be fair. Otherwise, there's nothing much we can do but deal with it

I am interested in finding new people...I just recently got out of a relationship so it is hard to say what I am looking for other than someone around my age who might want to go on a date or two. Never dated anyone before but yeah it is difficult online to find someone considering a lot of the times people are not single or they are not interested in finding one anymore. It is great you want one and are hopeful ^^
