On-line dating sites: Post your best story.

There has not yet been a book written that could
be used as a manual or a guide to the mind of a woman.

I have just finished looking at a TV news item that reported
a woman has been arrested for killing her boyfriend.

She stabbed him 18 times with a big kitchen knife.

18, hmm...

I'm tellin' you nigga the bitch is crazy.

We were married in 2006.
Still married.

I remember the photos of your wedding, very nice. (Pretty sure that was you.)

I didn't know you'd met through match.com

Congrats!

You're deliberately bucking the tiger, zb. Let me try to put this as delicately as possible: You haven't been in the swim long enough to know what's essential to women or critical to a lady [or to grasp the dimensions and depth of morbid deceitfulness within the beings of some males posing as men]. If I may make an observation, believe you'd serve your d her devious plan on a popular dating site to obtain needed contacts through referrals.
.

I have no idea what "bucking the tiger" means.

I also think you're being awfully presumptuous and a bit of a condescending dickhead. Don't care about your little irrelevant and outlying anecdote. That doesn't change the fact that dating sites are not for "desperate" people as you have claimed.

You win.

Guess you could call that a success story so.

But did you meet a whole load of weirdo's before you met her?

I have never tried on line dating. I would not have the courage.

She was the second person I met through the site. I liked her more than the first one, so that was it. Two dates. One marriage. A model of efficiency.

Yes, I believe so. I had posted links to my wedding pictures at one time.

Were you geographically distant when you met?

The internet tells me that's it's 44 miles (71 km) from Royal Oak, MI to Ann Arbor, MI. So not very distant.

Oh, so not across the country like some. How fortunate. Common interests usually bring people together.True?

That we both put down 'atheist' as our religious preference is really what brought us to each others attention. So, yes, common interests (or a common lack of interest in religion) did the trick.

Chess? (lol)

No, unfortunately. I brought her onto RHP briefly and tried to teach her, but it didn't turn out so well. So we stick to Scrabble. Can't have everything, I guess.

Ever try "Upwords"? It was my Mom's favorite until she departed this life at the age of 93.

Yes, we have that one as well. Between the two, I prefer Scrabble, while my wife prefers Upwords. They're both good, though.
