A thread for our single friends....

[chwgmjay]

I can't stand "athletic" guys anyhow so I guess there would be nobody on the site worth checking into for me.

*hugs*

Hmmm, it was probably around 27 when I gave up, so it's not all that bad! LoL

Well that's inspiring...

*hugs*

What did I do to deserve a hug?

Blah... With the weather change, I've been getting kinda depressed/lonely. I was talking to someone I'd met off match.com, but he's a ways away and just kinda stopped responding. Blech. Oh well... 2 months and I'll be at Disney World and forget about it for a week. LOL.

yes it's true you forget about it for a week but then the depressing reality hits you like a brick once you return.

 

[ConcKahuna]

I just don't understand how over 95% of guys on there (at least, the ones the system tries to match me with) have self-identified their body-type as "athletic"...

I don't think I've given up yet, myself... I mean, I do believe that there is someone, somewhere, for me...

Think of it this way:

Shamu could be said to have a "swimmer's body"

I hate online dating sites. People are always so fake and "perfect" on there, but in real life they are the opposite of what they say. Is it bad that I've given up finding someone at the ripe old age of 27?

Well, I gave up at 20...so no. In fact, I give you props for lasting that long!!

I know what you mean. I've been looking out my window at the rain and I think about how nice it'd be to have someone to cuddle with...then I think about how everyone on the internet is usually hyping themselves up to be so much more than they are. Think about it: without face to face contact you can completely reinvent yourself inside and out. Then when it comes time to meet, they realize, "Oh, ****, I'm totally not like this superhunkymancandy that I described myself to be" and they flake. Don't worry about it, WDW cures all...for a while.

This is one of the greatest jokes about a gay hookup site I've heard in a while.

 

[MAF]

20? Sheesh I wasn't even "out" at that age.

I love that line. Heck, I have a swimmer's body! Just like a walrus

What bothers me so much about the online sites I've been on is the inability to just talk and make friends. They have it in their profile that they're looking for friends but it's BS. Everyone's looking for something. I miss the days back when I chatted on IRC and we'd have channel meets where we'd all just get together and hang out.

YUP. It's pretty disappointing. I still hang out on IRC... but there's really no one for me to hang out with since it's our private irc server and no one's local. And we don't have any gay channels or anything.

IRC is such a throwback! I don't exactly remember when I used it, but I never remembered being unhappy with it because everyone was so nice there. What happened to the internet?

 

[chwgmjay]

LOL...

I think people in general seem to have... changed.

I've worked in hotels for 8 years now...

As time's gone on, people have become... I can't think of a nice way to say it, so I won't...

I don't know why it's happened. Maybe the internet has something to do with it...

But, I'm happy to have found my friends here on The DIS and enjoy chatting both here and with the friends from here that are now facebook friends as well.

All this doesn't change the fact that I'm still single tho... blah.

 

[Sphyrna]

Makes me wonder what things will be like 10 years from now. I'll probably be sitting here looking back fondly of the days of the DIS. Remember when we used to post on the DIS? It was such a great community and had great meet ups. We'll probably have holographic chat rooms or something! It seems as time goes on people have developed a sense of entitlement. They should get what they want and shouldn't have to do anything for it.

Maybe we should organize a singles trip to WDW or DL!

LOL... sounds like fun... but I dunno when I could go again. I'm going in December, I'm going in May... Next December I'm going back to DC/Williamsburg. I'd like to go back to Los Angeles even though I don't really like Disneyland all that much.

 

[chwgmjay]

I'd definitely be up for putting together a singles meet-up for gay days though... a lunch or a dinner somewhere or something? Anyone?

I'm down! If I have plans...then I'll definitely need to book hotel and a flight. I have no excuse not to, right?

There ya go.

 

[chwgmjay]

So... breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? A snack? Dessert?

Which day? I'm assuming MK day is full with other things (Dole Whip); and Epcot day is full with Drinkin' 'round the World.

Perhaps we could combine the Dole Whip and drinking?

...the more I think about it, the more amazing this idea sounds.

 

[MAF]

I wanna go too!

 

[chwgmjay]

I wanna go too!

So... come?
