I haven't but it does sound like it can backfire. Part of the fun, right?
I've been on a few dates where they didn't look like their picture.
I always tried to make the most out of it, you just never know when you might find the one.
Yes, I just kept the date going as normal and he was nice to have a conversation with.
I try to act really unattractive and repulsive to her
Wait, what?
Yea, I don't like to tell people their ugly because I want them to keep their confidence and it can cause a messy situation, so I just make them reject me instead.
I used to do that too. Even in relationships that are failing, Nothing extreme just commit things that she might see as deal breakers then pretend to be a little disappointed when she broke up with me. It seemed less cruel that way.
@Sparks32 ha lol I kind of use this tactic b4 but I never do blind dates... I would just tell the person from up front I'm not interested, you aren't my type... no explanation needed. I ask, what would I want? To know the truth. It's no problem.
And I always would try to shwo a range of photos, different lighting , mostly natural, never filtered... video chat front camera tends to make me look pale... not my fault so photos are needed.
I've had a mixed bag, some lovely girls and some 6 pinters.
looks is definitely not the only thing i look for.
the way we connect and the chemistry also. why would I date someone with a shitty aditute?
and honestly blind date is kind of silly, dating shouldn't be seen as a game
I was thinking more towards people who have trouble meeting people or who don't know how to break the ice to ask someone out on a date. This would include shy people.
no. i was happy, but i couldn't act on that happiness
Only once. I respected the date but we never went out again.
I'll have a great day with them and don't date them a second time.
Not necessarily a blind date but I was somewhat catfished before. Filters. Damn filters.
Did she have bad skin or bigger face or nose or eyes?
I accepted her the way she was, even though I only saw her face online and she was obese. She later dropped me for certain other reasons.
I would never do a blind date, my biggest pet peeve is surprises & not being told beforehand what im walking into
I will ask, which app you use cause you look different and will have a nice date.
I try to overlook it by being positive but I wasn’t very impressed
Finish the date and never call them back. It is just a date!
Yes and her eyes were gorgeous it was a nice evening we even had some pretty raunchy sex
No never, how do you even get set up on blind dates?
I'd never go on a blind date to be fair.
Let me put a blindfold on you and then you can.
Again no but thanks for the offer
I wouldn't go on such blind dates
Never went on a blind date in my life.
Guess you didn't need one which is great.
I wouldn't even if I needed.
Never even asked a friend to hit on someone for me.
My tactic is "make friends, make yourself available, what ever else comes from that is profit/loss".
Having reasonable standards helps.
My standards are easy to set. My rule is, in any given venue, at least a 5th of all women who are of age should feel hot, to me, ideally 50%. If it's consistently lower, then my physical standards are too high. That's particularly higher than the average male standard, but not so high as to be unattainable.
My personality/behavioral standard is that she should be moral, and that's usually what I try to maximize.
And of course, the great standard of "who's happier to see you" as well. But that tends to match very well with the moral standard.
Wait a minute. You're 42. If you have no one yet maybe you ought to try a blind date.
I'm in a 10year long relationship, why would I go even on a date?
And never done before her. Why don't you try my method instead?
