Good Online Dating Conversation Starters?

[T.G.]

You should find a girl who is a Mariners fan because she’s likely to have low self esteem.

Being 5’8” definitely sucks—no doubt, but I’m grateful to still have a full head of hair and no receding hairline.

Coolio is 5'8" tall but not that much hair left, along with his money. He has been a Foolio.

Honestly the online dating thing isn’t all that hard. Just be a decent dude, try to be interesting, and accept that most people you talk to won’t work out. I’m a short dude too, but I don’t make any effort to hide it, and I just generally aim for the shorter women. It is what it is. Above all though, just be clear with your intentions, and try to make the early conversations fun. Open ended questions that are super random tend to be great conversation starters.

This is disappointing. I had imagined Don as a strapping Midwestern hunk.

You can still imagine him that way. I know I will.

@foolios Just say the word and I will hook you up with her...

@Chuckster70 should add height and dick size to our AW profiles--just so everyone knows what they're up against.

I don't date Dodgers, Skanks, or Red Sux fans. I'll make exceptions, but never for Dodgers fans. Never.

I mean I am a strapping Midwestern hunk. Just shorter than all the Krauts out here.

I'm surprised Brandon hasn't weighed in this thread yet.

No offense, Brandon.

Brandon is still trying to figure out if he should take a dump before a date or risk blowing a gasket mid way through.

That’s a real struggle, especially if things go well. A good cup of black coffee about an hour before the pre-date shower is usually the safest way to go.

I’m surprised as well.

I’m more surprised people still talk about me here. I thought this was a joke thread so I never clicked on it.

You don't like jokes?

He likes jokes, as long as @True Grich isn’t telling them.

This thread should be a lot longer.  I have been out of the dating scene for 30 years, which is weird since I have only been married for 5 years.  That being said I can’t imagine online dating is that hard.  Show genuine interest in her, let her talk, don’t interrupt her, be smart, witty, non-judge mental, have money and send her the occasional pic of you banging some other broad.  

[Brandon]

I found one for you
