Chill out and grow some balls

I often see, both in profiles in dating sites and in posts on Craig's List, people saying, "I can't believe I'm posting this here. We'll tell our friends we met at a bar/party/supermarket."

People, get over it. I swear, even my parents have friends who've met people over the internet, which means that this is no longer shameful, much less weird or secret. If you are ashamed of posting there, don't do it. No, really, it makes you look silly.

Personally, I'd much rather fuck a guy who is up-front and honest about who he is and how he does things than someone who feels like he has to sneak around and is willing to do something that makes him feel cheap on the off chance it'll get him laid/a girlfriend.

FWIW, I met my wife on Craigslist. My still-single friends and her still-single friends are, well, still single.

I met a woman I nearly married on CL...and it began as a CE...and though it did not happen, I am back on and looking again. Why would anyone think that looking on-line is a bad thing when match.com claims something like 12,000,000 subscribers?
