I'm in this dating site called PlentyOfFish. Here was a guy's the first initial message:
After reading your profile I think you'll get that line and atheist = open minded. Great
taste in music as well, Fade To Black was the first Metallica song I ever heard and its
just beautifully written
I have to say, I had a lot of fun reading your profile and it caught my attention more
than once. I love to read, Isaac Asimov is brilliant and its so sad that I, Robot was made
from an amazing collection of stories into an advertising funded payday for Will Smith,
ditto I Am Legend. Started reading Stephen King from a young age and his non-fiction
book on writing inspired me to start my own work, which may just be a career.
I believe that all creative people are introverts, all creativity is an attempt to explain to
ourselves and others just how we see the world and often its an awkward process. You
can't do that unless you're constantly questioning your perceptions, motives, and self.
It can be a painful thing, and often social life is awkward because you're not as gullible
as everyone else.
I guess I'm lucky because I was raised Hindu which is more a belief system and much
more tolerant of questioning than Western religions, so it was an easy task to think for
myself and realize the idea of god was absurd, and George Carlin helped that along :)
Oh and Forest Hills is awesome, if you know where the Fairview apartment building is, I
lived there for 5 years and still miss it. And 108 St.
Ok I've rambled enough, as you can see I'm not into small talk either, if you like what
you've read and want to know more, we'll go from there. And I'm ****
Seems like a nice guy right?? Well I was busy for work for two days and was going to message this guy back and got this message:
yeah, well **** you, I'm out. Read your
atheist blog, you're single because your
depressed, antisocial and self absorbed.
Move away from yourself and see the world
and you'll find yourself in no time. My god,
27 and I've met more mature 17 year olds.
This may make me sound crazy, but as I've
leaving this site I care not. And heavy metal
is for children.
He signed out of the website the next day. Jeez, talk about being bipolar....

There are plenty of fishy people on that site but hold firm - I met my wife on that site and I've been married for 5 years now. She is perfectly normal and thankfully as cynical as I am!
If you search under Google for atheist dating sites several will come up - including eHarmony. I looked at several of them a few years ago and didn't like the terms of service (read the terms of service carefully). I don't trust dating web sites and have never used them. I've heard to many creepy stories about dating and singles web sites. I suppose skype and telephone conversations could filter some of the problems out. Having said that, I've met and become friends with numerous people through atheist and other special interest discussion groups.
I think it's better to get out in the world and meet someone through a friend or by happenstance.
I don't know why it upsets us to be insulted when we know that what the person is saying is not a true statement. But it does.
I remember someone tried to chat with me on OKcupid, and when I didn't write back within 30 seconds he started saying stuff I like sucks and I should go on a diet.
I had the last laugh, though, as a few weeks later he was trying to chat me up again, apparently forgetting that earlier incident, telling me I look sexy. I was like "oh well, last week you said I was too fat".
