What is the purpose of online dating if people are too fat?

Just kidding---couldn't resist

Then they can send each others photos of super-models instead, so they don't need to worry about being fat.

I just dated someone who is fat? (from okcupid) I am not superficial she was a lovely woman hence keeping in touch and been friends, saw each other for 3 weeks. Now is it your saying they are too fat to actually have intercourse?

Dating isn't all about sex it's about meeting a partner. Love can be triggered from intercourse but deep affection for someone who knows you is similar and that dosen't require it.

Well played, Spiderpig, well played - you win a cookie (light*).


*Sorry, couldn't resist the jerky pun!

Jerky like this?

What is this abomination?

It's jerky.

Lol, on first glance I thought you said abortion...and that fits as well.

I think if one is fat, then one could date someone even fatter so that they look learn in comparison. It might be useful then to try online dating, and never settle for anyone who isn't fat enough.

Look learn? O.o

Haha, look lean. Typo.

^^^ I didn't even notice the misspelling but I'm dyslexic.

If this were an ordinary, small-talk-rich, real-life conversation among neurotypicals, someone would have rushed to defend Yigeren from what would be perceived as malicious and pedantic nitpicking on sly279's part, by blurting out some astonishingly stupid rationalization like, "Yeah, look, learn: you look and learn. It's simple, really".

Dinner via skype?

Since I'm one of those people that gets irritated by typos, misspellings, and bad grammar, I can't complain about nitpicking, anyway. Although I can't tell if it's nitpicking or genuine confusion.

Either way, people get offended way too easily. If someone points out a mistake, I would think that it's useful to know that I've made a mistake. The exception would be when one uses it to counter an argument.

Example:

Person 1: "I don't like Trump because he's an arrogant hyppocrit."

Person 2: "You can't even spell hypocrite!"

I hate when people do things like that, because they aren't actually addressing the argument. Although irritating at times, poor grammar and misspellings don't make an argument worthless.

In case I didn't make it clear enough, I took for granted sly279's reply was due to genuine confusion. I'm used to people taking my own confusion as nitpicking, to the point that I don't bother to point it out anymore and just hope whatever they say later gives me a chance to get the gist of the message. I still end up understanding them much better than they themselves evidence when they're clearly too busy with the social games to listen to what is actually being said.

Moral of the story -- Before engaging in any topic you find appealing per se, make sure whomever you're talking to shares your interest in a deep conversation. The vast majority of the time, they'll just want to use speech for its rôle in primate dominance dynamics and you're in for an unpleasant surprise every single time if you don't bear these facts in mind from the start.
