Hello Romancelanders I want to narrate my experience with online dating.

Have always been sceptical about online dating but decided to give it a try after a one year break of dating. I opted out of my previous affair becausej my ex's family was against him marrying from my tribe so had to end the shiiit, and i gave myself a break since he was acting so indecisive about the whole thing. Now my experience...

I am one of the few nairaland babes that do respond to pm especially if your contribution to this forum has been matured and reasonable irrespective of the section you frequent.

So of all the pms I do have, I sieve and respond to few but so far I'm not impressed with the calibre of men searching online.

After taking risk to exchange my contact and get to meet (in chaperone oh) few of them,about 3, I found out that most men searching online has something terrible about them that makes ladies turn them down in real life that's why they run to online; it is either they are unkempt, razz or not presentable. Some can't even talk like a real man, they are either too weak or timid in real life, no class no nothing.

Forget all those edited pictures used as dp and the likes most of them in real life are dirty!!!

How can a grown up guy don't know how to clean up and look neat. I mean why must your personal hygiene be zero You're meeting someone for the first time and your mouth oozes. I mean, who does that Or is that also attributed to poverty?

I have male cousins that earn less than 50k in a month but they still look neat and presentable.

Is there someone that has experienced the same, be it with male or female?

Or am I alone in this

carefreewannabe:


If I find a guy unattractive for one reason or another, then it does not matter to me what he thinks of me. Whether he thinks that I am beautiful or ugly, cute or disgusting is absolutely irrelevant.

And she has not opened the thread to find out what the guys thought of her but to find out if other people had similar experience with online dating.

Kachisbarbie:
Hmm
You were just unlucky.
I have met few Nairalanders and they were cool.

Classicalmusic:
Because you knew what you really want. The OP sounds like one of those losers' girls

irishCream:


Ok boss noted...now I know you're not inclusive apologies

softysparky:

Me too, cool and classy guys.

Maybe she wants to hit a nerve.

Girl I know the guys here are going to bad mouth you don't worry even as some are reading your write up now they will put their hands across their mouth to check if they too have bad breath I know some also will check their armpits. Worry not its only the cowards looking for self denfense that will resort into abusing you as an escape route to defend their male ego.

passionate88:
It's not only about "better meals". I have a friend that married an Akwa Ibom girl, she's from Oron, when they were dating, she'd come to his house, sweep, wash cloths, cook, phock the guy head scatter... My friend's brother will always tell him "this girl na beta girl o, she go make u happy if u marry her"... They got married in 2012, the guy has grown grey hair, I'm now fatter than him, he rarely sleeps at home, she snores like a rhino, she hardly sweeps the house, expects him to bath the kids while she's still in bed, buys breakfast from mama put... My mom's friend that's from Akwa Ibom told me that even the guys from that girl's village hardly marry from their... This thing called marriage is just useless in this modern time.. People pretend just to get married after that they change.[

God will help us o, even though we don't attend Church/Mosque regularly

Vessi:
And if you are as good as you claim to be you would be getting better suitors offline than online.

irishCream:


Dear I over well oh...

Just that the way the guy attacked me shows he's guilty one way or the other

HFOG:

The world's a small place. What goes around comes around. Whatever happened to the golden rule? We'll be in the wrong at some point in our lives and we'll want to be treated/corrected with dignity and love. If really she didn't open this thread to spite anyone I think she could have found out what she wanted to without passing off as someone with a 'holier (cleaner) than thou' attitude. Now all she wanted to find out wouldn't be worth the misconception she'll get from this post ie if she gives a hoot, right? There's always a better way to do what we've got to do if we'll ponder more and react less spontaneously.

NB. I'm sorry pls for taking this out on you. You appear to have her ears. Me believe she'll more readily hear you out, ok? Sorry once more...me just feeling a little light (talky) tonight. Tks for your indulgence.

sometimes i wonder if it is just an online personality (alter ego) or the every day trait you guys exhibit on this forum.
yea....i am expecting a caustic reply from you

BecaciaBarbie:

That reminds me....I met one Nairalander that swept me off early last year! The Guy is sooooooo cute and fair like an half caste but he never revealed his handle to me

Nonsense!

I never said I'm perfect but anyone with zero personal hygiene is a big turn off irrespective of the good character, remember the saying "cleanliness is next to godliness"

duni04:
