Triathlon Dating Thread Ver 2.0 (Page 55)

I just can't quit men.  I tried a sabbatical for a few months and back at it. 

BTW-Hiya and.....

I see. 

I get what you're saying Tony, but I think us wimminz (and most people in general) can tell a person's tone and initial personality through a series of emails. In my experience, the person is almost exactly like they are in person as they are online. And if they're not at least in the same ball park, I'm not sure I want to date that bad of a communicator.

Wow

I have to agree.  I'm in disbelief that no one messages you.

FYI: This was referenced in a WSJ column today. It is an interesting look at attractiveness and messaging. Note womens attractiveness runs in a bell curve, men's not so much. Pay particular attention to who the guys are messaging vs the girls. http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dating/

Blocked for adult/mature content at work???  What are you directing us to?

I'm the goodest at makec wordzz and stuff on the emailz.  girlz luv da way I talks.

Really??? I didn't see anything off color but I only skimmed it as the relevant info was in the WSJ article. There were no naughty pics though, mostly a number of graphs.

I won't knock it - I've had some really amazing sex all by myself.

Probably because the link is OKCupid, guess your employer doesn't want you dating on the job.

Field report(s):

Date with my kickball teammate went pretty well, but our schedules haven't been able to line up for another date.  I'm kind of iffy about dating someone I see often anyway.  I feel like it could create a similar problem as dating someone you work with.

I did however meet a girl last night from POF who is a dietitian and runs!  It went really well, and I'm planning on taking her out again Saturday.

Just for laughs....thought I'd share a few emails I received:

"OK Im gonna be honest. I want ur body LOL. You look so dam hot. I wanna learn more about weather we might connect with a spark for eachother."  After 10 days of no response he followed it up with "Ok never heard back from you. I hope I didnt come across to much like a dog. Im really not."

and this just cracked me up!

"I've never done a marathon or triathlete"....yes only some of us get to do a triathlete and even fewer do an Ironman

Nobody knows what I like better than me.

(Master of my own domain)

Out!

I know how you feel about dating someone you see often.  On one hand, I want to date a rock climber.  On the other hand, there's only one place to rock climb around here and there's no avoiding running into them.  Also not sure I could date a mainstream nutritionist...they believe in fairy tales  - like the food pyramid.  Good luck with, though

Haha Abbie, Why haven't you snatched one of these guys up before they're taken?  That reminds me that I've gotten two messages in the past week that I haven't read yet.

I'm trying to figure out how I should proceed...things ok with crossfit chick.  We've run after workouts and gone rock climbing a couple times.  No complaints and she seems way cool.  Then there is runner chick from my other gym.  We haven't gone out yet, but that's only because I haven't asked.  She wants to.  I wouldn't mind, but at least on the surface crossfit chick is more my speed.  (literally and figuratively).  She's tougher, can run my training pace, adventurous...no reason to think there's any deal breakers.  On the other hand, runner chick seems pretty cool, and who knows?  I just hate juggling multiple girls...what a pain.  Ideally, Runner chick would wait indefinitely while I test the waters with crossfit chick, but she'll eventually lose interest if I try to wait and see what's happening one at a time, no?  (although she'd be smart to wait for me - I'm the best choice a girl could make).  Oh, one more complication - runner chick has a groupon for a month of crossfit at my crossfit gym.  Which means all three of us will be there at the same time at times.  How fun would that be if I'm seeing both of them?

and why dating for a man is infinitely easier for a man than a woman.  I have the 62 year olds, the guys with  4 spare tires, and three eyes interested in me. 

And its only getting worse as I get up in age. My friends want me to go out with a friend's brother b/c he doesn't eat anything, like only fries, hot dogs, potato chips, bagels.  B/c I have a child like palate too, they think we're a match made in heaven. Sure. Set up the wedding date. :/

I hope that my potential as a partner is not dependent on if I can run the guy's training pace 

The grass is always greener... Us guys think that the girls really have it made.

Guilty of overthinking.  Usually.  Well, there's always other crossfit gyms...

Hah, not at all.  But it's good bonus points if we can run together.
