There Is A New "it" In Town

I just talked a friend last night who was telling me that Internet Site Dating is so "the thing" now a days. Supposedly, the "friend" sites are the in -thing. I'm talking about Friendster or Hi5. I have noooo clear idea if any of these work, but apparently a lot of people I know are meeting people that way.

Is it because people feel more comfortable going on these sites under the guise of being a friend, or meeting through a friend of a friend, and you're getting the more "normal" people of the bunch. Frankly, the so called "normal" people that we would expect to meet are not so normal after all...I mean I have heard from some of my friends that people are trying to be over friendly/fresh wimme even when status says "committed"...I mean for the love of God, can you just back off???In any case, everyone's experiences are different. And I cannot deny that I re-established contact from a lot of long lost friends from school and college, so its not all "freak show"....If you can tolerate.....

Um, I'm not sure, but whichever way you cut it, it just looks like good ol' Internet Dating to me..maybe I'll try it, maybe not, but before I make the leap it would be nice to hear if anyone else has had good or bad experiences on those sites..

The Case of The Wandering Eyes

I came back from dinner the other day with one of my friend. The food was good but there was something a little rotten with the ambiance in the restaurant...and thus this post was born.

Why do men carelessly check out women when they're on a date? In between bites of pizza, we notice this dude checking out some girl..not subtly ,which would be the kind thing to do, but blatantly, in your face checking her up and down. The problem with this story was the guy had a girlfriend, who saw the rude display of scoping also. She looked so upset. I feel bad for the girl, because I've been there..even my friend at lunch has.

Ok, I know men are visual creatures and they have a hellava lot of testosterone...that can't be changed. But come on, isn't there anything to be said for having some respect for your date?? Its not like women don't see better looking guys out there when they are on dates with you, but they do their business and have a quick glance, and no harm is done. A lot of guys, on the other hand, would rather peruse over some random chicks body with their glassed over drooling eyes looking like they're imagining her so many uncanny ways.

I just don't get it. It not only bothers the girls on the date but some other guys who are seeing this behavior too. Makes them feel insecure in their realtionship as well. If u r on a date for god sake pay 101% attention to the girl infront of for the time being. The rest can wait for awhile. But there is always an itch for us guys to scratch…no matter who is sitting infornt we just have to check our lefts and rights…GOD….those eyes….DAMN!!!
