it's slim pickings if you don't have Facebook to do Bumble (I don't)
if you want to go on some weasy dates with hot chicks, it's pretty easy to make a quick mock FB up wth 2-3 pics of yourself that you want to use on your bumble profile. Have it set to private and not have any friends and just use t to sign in and out of bumble... really is no excuse to not have this..... not like you have to be all over FB sharing your life or engaging in other people's lives.

Yeah I would imagine there's a pretty low inventory of quality women in Houma.
having spent significant amounts of time in both. Lafy and Houma are very similar. Same culture and populations.

This is how I described it to my cousin. There are insanely hot and insanely ugly, both places are lacking in the normal/avg females. It's really weird..... Nola is the exact opposite. It's all average

It would be extremely disappointing if were to go on these sites and go on dates and find out at the end that the guy expects sex at the end of the date. Or maybe girls sign up on these sites bc thats what they expect too...



I never went on a date from one of these sites expecting anything. I've met 8 women from online dating. 3 grossly misrepresented themselves and I excused myself as politely as I could. Of the other 5, four were down for anything immediately. The last of the 8 made me wait quite a few dates. We've been together for a little over 4 months now. There are some good people on the sites but to be completely honest, it is hard for a guy not to be a dog when it is getting thrown at him.

The women are pretty forward about wanting sex from my experience. I usually go into the meeting with the belief that we all want sex. If there is an attraction it will happen. If not, no worries. I've come to the conclusion that a lot of women use this to have the sex lives they want and they can try to avoid the double standard society has.

I don't know any guys who did online dating with any intentions beyond getting laid
You've met me, so there's one.

I was very selective on who I'd message or go out with. I don't want to sit at dinner and listen to some chick bitch about how another girl used her scissors at the salon yesterday. I've got better stuff to do than talk to uninteresting girls. Out of 50, maybe 5 will be worth talking to

You're on a male-dominated message board here, of course the majority of the discussion is going to be about sex.

OkCupid lets you check off any of the four that you're looking for: long-term dating, short-term dating, hookup, and new friends. The women who have "hookup" checked off are clearly open to sex on the first date and aren't shy about it, however there are many other women who have "short-term dating and new friends" checked off which tends to mean they are open to sex on the first date but are shy about it.

I have never messaged a woman for any intention other than what they have had checked on their profile. I have also never messaged a woman with the sole intention of getting laid and absolutely nothing else. I'm a homebody with a small circle of friends, and I'm always looking for new people to go out and have fun dates with, and hopefully I get sex but I won't be upset if I don't. But since I am pretty picky about who I message in regards to personality, and less so when it comes to looks (I'd much prefer a fun fatty over a boring beauty), if I do end up meeting someone in person it's because I'm pretty sure we're compatible already, so that tends to lead to sex faster than people I've met in real life, whom I might not know that well by the time we're on the first date.

Some do, some don't. At least on OkCupid there are plenty of women who flat out explicitly state that they're not there for sex and if that's your intention then move on. But yeah, there are also plenty of women on there who use it to have the sex life they really want without being judged by society for trolling for dick in person.

It's stupid not to try it. You open up your options greatly (although New Orleans does kinda suck). I always tell guys to understand that chicks get bombarded with messages, and a lot of them are on it, but hate it at the same time.

It's still a meat market for girls. They can have pretty much anyone with the amount of messages they get. I usually end up dating girls that message me first though

interesting. I don't think anything but Match.com existed when I was single but I never heard of any friends signing up for it. I guess that makes it better if girls have the option to label their interest as long term, hookup, etc. I was just imagining these two people meet up for a date and at the end, the guy is like, "so we gonna frick at my place or yours?" and the girl being like What the hell?

If they ask for dick pics from the start, it's probably a guy.

Maybe those Houma chicks are different than everywhere else

I find that if the woman wants sex she will skip the going out part and will just want to hang out at her place or mine. The old “Netflix and chill” as they say, or video games and chill, smoke weed and chill, etc. If that happens I pretty much know I’m going to get laid although I remain lightly flirty until I know for sure. I don’t like to assume anything and put someone in an awkward spot.

I’m actually surprised at how many women are willing to meet at someone’s place first. It seems really dangerous. I used to try to invite women out in public first so they can get to see who I am first, but so many of them don’t even care.

On the other hand, if we choose to go out to dinner, a movie, etc. then I’ll just treat it as a traditional style date. I’ll ask her if she wants to hang out at my place afterwards and if she doesn’t she doesn’t.

That’s just me though. By the way women talk on these things it’s apparent there are a lot of a-hole men on there. But I think they mostly get weeded out in the early messaging stages because they send dick pics or overly sexually aggressive messages. I don’t think many of these guys are patient enough to wait until the end of the date to turn into an a-hole. They tend to use a “shotgun method” where they just copy and paste sexual advances to as many women as possible. If only 1/10 responds favorably, they still get laid, they don’t care if they piss off or disgust 9 other women in the process. So I totally understand why a lot of women get turned off by online dating. And although I’ve never used Bumble, I can see it being used by the more classy women because men can’t message women in there first. The women must initiate.

No way I'm bringing a tinder/bumble chick to dinner until minimum 3rd meeting

Hypothetically of course

I do online shite to branch out of Houma. They aren't bots. They are just really trashy women. I hope bots aren't using pics of tatted up, probably on meth, hot messes

Sounds like they’re hookers, then. I doubt many meth heads are trolling bumble/POF/whatever for dick with no strings attached.
