The Internet dating world is a cesspool

    After talking to her the other night, Mrs. T. certainly thinks it's a cesspool (and she dived in before I did). She claims she has yet to meet anybody real, which kind of puzzled me - I always thought the women held all the cards in the online world. She turned 52 this week, and I think she's danged attractive. She also believes guys in her dating pool are really intimidated or turned off by tall women (she's 5-9). She's also gets letters from guys who gratuitously write to slam women who are, well, ... I can tell you hers are real.
    It's interesting to hear the female perspective on this. (I just fear she's regretting her decision of last year.)

    Unfortunately, I think she might be in that Danger Zone for women, given that younger women will shack up with a guy in his late 40s or early 50s, but I don't think it goes the other way so much.

    Okay, dilemma time...what do you do when you're in the pool and it's Valentine's Day? Me, I'm kind of thankful that my two active prospects are unavailable due to work tomorrow night - no pressure.

    Buy me a present instead? It is my birthday. Chocolate or flowers would be acceptable, thanks!

    Who else thought, with the NSFW advisory, that would be a phone conversation between Chris and Whitman?

    Looks like I'll be dabbling in online dating. My girlfriend of two years broke up with me last week, saying she just didn't feel "right" about things. Talk about blindsiding someone :(

    Wow, they left the names and pics up? Did the post contact every single girl to make sure it was alright, cause that's just wrong. Every where else I look, their names and pics are blurred out.
    This is a story that is told amongst friends or passed on via e-mail...not done by a major publication.

    I was kind of under the impression that the NY Post might be somewhat lax in adhering to the utmost journalistic standards and ethics.

    It's no Patch.com, that's for sure.
