I'm so tired of the game. You know what I mean.
The meeting, the outings, the suspense of knowing whether someone likes you or not because if they don't like you, then you ruined a friendship, and if they do like you, and you don't hurry up, you seem like an idiot to all of your friends. Then you feel like an idiot because you didn't realize it either, and that may be the only person that likes you for quite a while. I'm tired of the "get to know yous" and learning quirks and subtle nuances of women that won't even matter a year from now. I'm tired of meeting women who don't have the same interests, ideals, mindset, humor, or ethics as I do, so then they try to change me and make me how they want. I'm tired of bipolar dysfunctional females. (I dont mean bipolar as in the disorder, I mean it as in terms of functioning purely on whim)
So that's why I think everyone should make a dating application for members of the gender of their choosing to fill out.
I would be too if a girl handed me one, because then that means that in this application, I wouldn't have to waste time getting to know someone, attempt to find out if she likes me, gather the courage to ask her out (remember the double standard is that girls are supposed to do the accepting, while men do the begging), and then wait for a "no."
You can instead, put everything about yourself in about 2 pages in the form of multiple question, and let the applicant figure the answers on their own.
If they fail to meet your standards as per the app, then just forget about them.
(Or do like girls do and friend zone them)
See? All the guesswork would be taken out of dating if we simply put in applications! There wouldn't be any more games, just a yes or no, and everyone else goes by their own business. This would save a considerable amount of time, and less resources would be used!
Such a shame that things couldn't be...you know...simplified.
What do you think?

If only things were that simple!
Mhm seems so much more efficient! ...But it'll never happen :\
There's a big difference between a bunch of adjectives on a piece of paper and the actual real-life get to know you feeling.
I think a lot of online site have tried that format out, and while it does weed out some people there's still way too many other factors that makes it hard to be so simple. Sometimes, I sure wish it was as easy as that. Then again, the chase is part of the fun.
@Roadlesstaken@xanga - "the chase is part of the fun."
true true true.
what's the point if it's there and simple?
xo
lol no
i dont think u get to know them as well :)
the way they act in person might not translate well onto paper or vice versa, they may be amazing IRL and dismal on paper.
I know how you feel, so when I was single, I made a list of what I wanted in a man. It really made things clear to me. I continued to date 'losers' who did not fit my list, but I knew for certain when some guy was not "The One". You can still have fun with losers, but then feel guilt free when it doesn't work out.
It took five years to find "The One", but the wait was worth it.
I don't think there's any adjective or noun or verb in the world that can tell anyone else about myself unless they had a face to face talk with me. People write fake things on paper. People can lie on paper and you'd never know the difference.
Dating applications are stupid. Get to know them in real life, by like talking and stuff...kinda common nowadays.
isn't that why they made dating websites?
It sounds like that would be essentially imitating the online dating site concept ( though loosely )
... which is already available for people that don't feel like they can go out and "play the game", and meet people without the use of an application.
I'd feel too much like I was applying for a job, if this is how I had to go about dating.
Rather just do it naturally. :D
sometimes the work is worth it. especially if you wanted something to work. stupid fucking microwave generation, always wanting everything to work with all the instant gratification of hard work.
You probably wouldn't truly get to know someone that way. They could totally bulls*** said application for one. I think the best way to get to know someone is to hang out with them, talk with them, etc. A dating application, to me, sounds like a poor substitution for something we really need to do ourselves.
Sounds too formal :|
eHarmony =]
Not everyone's into the brutal honesty that a paper like that can provide. If I had to write down my 'pros and cons' I think I'd even hate myself, lol. It's just too much...
um... just like job applications, I think this one is no different, people will always tend to LIE...pointless, you have to get to know someone, even if they're being fake you can sense it..
haha i mean well that can be added to the chase as well. it shouldn't be the only thing. it does help remove teh unwanted ones *
Hahaha.
You, my friend, are too picky. Only very picky men would resort to methods such as these. And even if you do find your "perfect" woman, will you then be surely satisfied? Love isn't a math problem. You won't find it this way.
@Neurotically_Mine@xanga - "picky" is a negative and slightly immature term, in my opinion. I would simply like to consider myself selective. I care not to waste my time with dozens and dozens of women. I've already found the perfect girl, and she of course, has a boyfriend.
Its just that in the place I live, I find most of the females there just not ones I'd want to date.
@Sickness_Mimi@xanga - Yes, you are correct, but what if they lie on the application? You rub it in their face when you find out. Even better, its in writing, so they can't lie their way out of that lie.
@silverlocket_88@xanga - @linguistic_nonsense@xanga - @yukarimayhem@xanga - @JessxMaxine@xanga - I also can't help but feel that women don't understand as well as men. Women get chased. Men chase. But even a dog gets tired. Women think its all a game, and fun taking a guy's money. But I'm just ready to streamline this process.
haha i have done dating applications before and i have probably tried finding the right match for me.. doesn't work
if life were only that easy.
Do you really know what you want? Instead of going off of a list, isn't it better to go off of how you feel, and what you feel?
But what about all the mystery of dating? If you are just straight up about what you are looking for and what you are like, then what's the fun in getting to know each other over time?
I have found that I don't know what I want until I find it. I couldn't possibly know if someone isn't (or is) right for me by an application.
