So I did it - I bit the bullet and signed up for real. At the very least, it'll be good for a laugh. I thought I'd keep track of it on here, if for nothing else then you guys' entertainment.

Have you seen the ad on TV for Uniform Dating? That sounds kinda cool, if a little unusual!

mart!!! you're back! well actually i think uniform dating looks pretty creepy. but one of the guys i'm 'connecting with' on match.com is the proud owner of a ww2 airforce uniform ... so, yeah!

Am I back, or is it just an imposter pretending to be Mart? *touches head, shoulders* Nope, definitely the real me!

In what way do you think it looks creepy? I thought it sounded quite original.

i don't know. it just looks like it's catering to a quasi-fetish - it kinda looks like a step up from those awful hilarious sexline adverts.
at best it's reinforcing the view that heros only wear uniforms.

Noooo, you'll be axe-murdered! (I actually have a friend who found a man on one of these things and they got married and have kids and everything. So I hope you know what you're doing, little missy!)

i shall try my hardest not to be axe murdered. Plus i read somewhere that you are most likely to be murdered by someone you already know.

halfcore January 20 2010, 09:35:42 UTC

Well now,... who do you know that's a murderer then?

By the way, what I remember from my friend is that a lot of guys will take it personally if you happen to decide they're not right for you. They'll be like "WHY? YOU'RE JUST SHALLOW AND YOU THINK YOU'RE SO HOT! I HATE YOU!" So be warned!

Tried it... amancalledmikey January 19 2010, 13:49:49 UTC

...and it didn't work for me. Dunno why but I don't think I sounded especially interesting. Internet dating in general has never worked for me, tbh.

Re: Tried it... two_blue January 19 2010, 22:28:33 UTC

it seems to be working ok for me so far. i have a few dates lined up but, i mean, i guess they could be awful in real life. we'll see.

Re: Tried it... amancalledmikey January 20 2010, 08:30:05 UTC

It is different for girls, attractive girls especially. My view of internet dating is that it makes women more shallow. A lot of my female friends have had good success internet dating. One has been dating a guy for nearly two years and another has met two long-term guys off the internet. A few others speak of decent success.
