Do you think sites like eharmony.com, match.com or plentyoffish.com work? Just curious really.

It gives the socially awkward a chance.

Some people cannot start a conversation IRL with others so this gives them some kind of an in.

what is "IRL"?

in real life

all things considered, it is just another way people meet each other.

but be careful, evil people use computers too...

For example

"*James" finds a date on craigslist named "*Rachel." James sets up the date, time and activites for the date. Rachel has a friend "*Jarian." Rachel and Jarian concoct a plan to rob James.

Rachel goes on the date with James. As planned, Jarian knows exactly when James is out of the house and enters the residence as soon as James leaves to pick up Rachel.

Jarian has time to raid James' refridgerator and stuff his duffle bag full of James' Ed Hardy tees, skinny jeans, bottles of fake tan, Axe bodywash, bodyspray, aftershave, plate-sized belt buckles, hair gels, stunner shades and collection of techno-house-drum & bass music. Jarian can also hop on James bed to his heart's content. When he finishes, he turns on all the faucets and the shower in James' place and writes on the bathroom mirror "You got robbed by the Wet Bandits =)" Then leaves.

Jarian calls Rachel and lets her know the deed is done - at which point see either tells James an emergency has come up and she needs to be dropped back off at her car - or she continues the date and gets a free full meal and dessert from the mark.

Rachel and Jarian later laugh at James and go online to find a target for the next weekend.

The **gnome warriors* arrive back at **James* house with **The Take*.
**Rachel* & **Bryci* scratch off the lottery ticket ( $1,000,000,000)
**James* dismantles the X-box360 and mails the pieces back to the **Jarian* house...except for the most important part.
The **gnome warriors* sit back and eat there snack cakes for a job well done.

Btw... to this day it was never determined whether **Jarian* ever got the **gnome lock* off for his hot water.

*All names are totally made up and bear no connection to actual people....& no **gnomes* were harmed in any way on this date.

Poor Jarian

.

I always get a laugh when a dating site boasts, "we screen for married people and felons."

I guess that dating has changed a bit since I last did it. . .

some of these stories resemble a VJDJ "threat"

Jarian is justifiably pissed at the recent turn of events but feels that this is all Karma....at least until he runs into *Pop Not Soda...Jarian tells Pop Not Soda all about his craigslist trickeration and subsequent comeuppance at the hands of the gnome warriors…Jarian is ready to let by-gone’s be bygone and figures he could send his 360 in and get a replacement by complaining about the red ring of death, however, the stories that Jarian has told P-N-S has riled P-N-S so much that he concocts a little plan of his own…he and Jarian go back to Jarian’s place and gather up Jarian’s 360 pieces…they take these parts to P-N-S’s basement and add them to the killer robot Soda has already been working on. Pops tells Jarian that these pieces happen to be the final pieces needed to finish his robot and that Jarian’s story has touched his heart and given him a way to test out his creation….Jarian doesn’t mind giving his xBox away but ask how in the fuck Pops Not Soda thought of and manage to create the metallic monster in the first place. P-N-S says he originally got the idea from watching old Full House and Small Wonder episodes…he got the schematics from a simple google search using his new Droid phone……Pops Not Soda programs robot to think it needsgnomes for energy and sets it loose……Pops Not Soda and Jarian come up with the genius idea to create a craigslist account for the robot but disguise it as a regular guy looking to pay for gnome-sex….from there it just gets weird but at some point the robot runs out of gnomes but by know is sentient and believes it will cease to operate unless it finds alternative energy sources…


***all names are fictional, blah, blah, blah...

That totally sounds like something I would do!

Tim Hardaway approves of this post.

I think that dating sites do work you just have to try them a couple of times until you get lucky! Its all about trial and error! =)

haha I would totally rob all those things! Especially his Techno music collection, and i would TOTALLY Jump on his bed a whole lot, then i would celebrate with Rachel! =)

Well. I never dated a girl who has a site. But if it comes in reality to date someone who one day, that would be good for me. It may come to a point that I may date someone who has a site. I don't what is the site is all about but my new year resolution, I want to know what it is.
