What as the last date you were on and how did it go? (Singles)

[Travis B]

Tinder is garbage; I've matched with maybe 4 people and 3 were bots.

It could be worse. Even the bots are rejecting me.

Married here, we went on a date Friday. Had a nice dinner away from the kids, was very relaxing and a good night. Hopefully we didn't start the road to another kid though....

[Stelio Kontos]

Last date I had a date was back around Halloween.

Pretty girl. Dressed up as Megara from Disney's Hercules. We went to a costume party. I went as my staple; gorilla suit, hula skirt, coconut bra.

I have a date this weekend. Friend set us up. This could go very well or hilariously bad.

[Adelsten]

Is there a reason this is only for singles?

[Rexosaurus]

The last thing I would consider a real date, was with my now ex-wife. We had a picnic in a park and laid around in the grass together after. It was actually pretty nice until a homeless/crazy guy came up to us with his dog and started telling us how the government is trying to control us and that we need to live free. I nodded knowingly to him, which I guess was the right thing to do since he said something about how he knew he'd like us and then walked off.

As for interest in a specific trait; I've convinced myself that I want to try dating a legit nerdy girl and see how that goes. No luck finding one yet though!

Mad that asian women prefer being dicked by white guys like me?

Proof of this? Maybe if it comes to who has to pay for it given what I've read about he tourism industry over there.

About 12 years ago. I was 20 and a friend arranged a "blind double date" with me and one of his girlfriend's friends while my friend and his girlfriend would come along. Right before the date he asks me "does it bother you if she's 16?" Did I say friend? I meant retard who I don't hang out with anymore. I responded "I don't want to go to jail jackass!!!" "Well you aren't going to do anything and we already told her you said yes, sooooo."

So I begrudgingly agreed to it. We went to the local arcade where we played a few games and then went to the movies. We watched "Curious George" I shit you not. I didn't pick the freaking movie....... Afterwards my "friend" is telling me to take her to a park and get to know her a little more. I said fuck that and took her ass straight home.

Haven't been on a date since.

So 12 years of being single without a date? Why don't you look at online matchmaking.

I met her in Starbucks during my coffee break o_O

She's a German girl from nearby office, she's 5 years younger than I. I brought her to a skate park and kinda "underground" district of BKK, had some fun there, in the evening we're watching fireworks.

It's a nice date, we're going on another one later this week.

[GreenJesus]

Never been on one. Does being asked to formal in Sophomore year of high school count? (22 btw)

[Redsoldier06]

Just went to work with her. Everything conversation-wise was fine, until I asked her out on a date. In which I dressed up for nicely which she just wore sweat pants and had her hair in a bun. She sat on the phone the entire time and I kept trying to make conversation with she'd answer in a simple nod or a yes, no type of ordeal. When I finally asked her if she could stop being on the phone she said "What if it's important and you want me to miss out on it?" in which she threw her water on me and walked out.

Well, thanks...

That's unexpected, lol

You tell him sister! Honestly a lot dudes have a preoccupation with this kind of shit, where women put their vaginas and what not, probably to make up for wherever they think their penis should be or isn't getting.

They can calm the fuck down, date whoever the fuck you want.

It works both ways, there's plenty of women who hate seeing men of their skin colour and/or ethnicity dating women of other races, nationalities, etc...

Yes and they are racist idiots that should get counciling on their self esteem issues. Nobody is owed a date which is why those very ones don’t get any.

Went out with ur mom last nite, it went well.

A purely anecdotal response, but ...

There are two factors to consider.

First, as I said in an earlier post, there are cultural differences that have little to nothing to do with skin color that can be a reason to date across culture. Those can give the appearance of a fascination based on skin color, but remember that bit about correlation and causation.

If you've heard dating called a meat market, consider how the international trade in meat works. Parts are shipped all over the world because local preferences differ: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/459435...ears-to-china/

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but locals here find a good bit of humor in noting that foreigners usually date women that are considered unattractive by local standards (either physically, in terms of personality, or because of their family background) and are blissfully unaware of it. Actually, I am well aware of it. I'm simply willing to take a hit for the team, just like I'll meekly eat chicken breast instead of coveting the middle section of the wing that the Chinese are so fond of.

With that said, the differing standards of beauty sort of play off of each other. The Chinese tend to favor fair skin, and Chinese skin tones that might be considered dark often aren't seen as a negative by North Americans and Europeans. That only goes so far though. There are also differences between the two standards that don't play to each other. Slender and willowy is a thing for many Chinese women -- loosely translated that means no hips, B cups are a win (C is hitting the jackpot), and not very athletic in appearance. On the other side of the coin, you know how some people get creeped out by very pale blue eyes? Having eyes that aren't dark brown can have the same effect here. Rocking a good tan? You're probably losing many of those points for a fair complexion. Body hair? For the Chinese you've gone full out Worgen. Beard? Not popular.

So it goes, there is a lot more in play than just skin color.

Second that.

I'm actually quite surprised that many foreigners aren't aware of this fact.

It's also quite entertaining to discuss this stuff w/ locals. Quite often what they consider attractive is kinda meh to foreigners.

Many of those foreigner date are considered unattractive to local men. I am 29, I have been married but divorced and have a daughter from the marriage. They often leave when they find out I have been married before and have a kid. Foreigners are not as likely to be deterred when they find out.

Local men are not so good men compared to men from australia, europe or america, my ex-husband was prone to drinking too much with coworkers or friends often, rarely was home except to sleep or eat and we had a lot of arguments because of his drinking, sometimes turned physical.

While we seem to be on this topic in particular...

As someone who's only ever had relationships inside my own country, I've always wondered if I could ever reach the point where I trusted my understanding of someone whom I don't share a mother language with enough to marry them.

So I've always been curious about the language/cultural barrier in relationships like that. Were either of those ever a problem within the actual relationship for people in here that have had them?

[Wiyld]

We met at a frat party...

Went out to get some shitty food at 1AM as the party wound down, then walked back to the dorm together, found out we lived in the same building.

Got married 6 years later, been married for 10 years now.

Worked out well.

Last date I was on where it was a first date was a year ago. I met my girlfriend on OK Cupid. We talked in text for about 3-4 weeks until things lined up right. Really got to know one another. First official date, we met for coffee, things appeared to be going well, so we had dinner and then made plans for the next night. We've pretty much become inseparable and are living together. This is probably the healthiest relationship I have ever had and the happiest either of us have been.

Sometimes, just sometimes, these things work out.
