Let me tell everyone a quick story. A few months ago I actually went on a date with a woman from Match.com. We talked on the phone a few times, then met for dinner. Trying to be a gentleman, I picked up the $50 dinner tab. She seemed appreciative, made nice conversation, hugged me at the end of the night and seemed interested in getting together again.

Guess what happened? Yep, she blew me off, wouldn't return phone calls and had no intention of seeing me again. Well, I've had enough of this crap, so I e-mailed her and basically "billed" her for dinner. I asked her to refund me $25 for her half of the dinner. A true gentleman offers to pay for dinner, but a true lady would insist on splitting it if she knew this was going to be the first and LAST date. Funny thing is, I was really just trying to make a point by billing her, but she actually followed through and sent me a $25 money order. Good to know she actually has a conscience.

I, like many others on here, have no idea what it is women are hoping to find on Match.com. They certainly don't seem interested in meeting "a nice guy I can talk to." What a load of crap. I don't go onto Match.com expecting to date a supermodel. A nice, decent, reasonably attractive woman is fine with me. Why do women have such a difficult time being honest about what they want? Maybe we should assume that they're on Match.com with totally unrealistic expectations precisely because they can't function in the normal dating world. No one in every-day life is good enough, so they take the never-ending search for perfection to the Web. I don't know how else to explain it. I've dated two women on Match.com who have been active for at least two years straight and have active profiles as we speak. Maybe I should check in with them as see if Brad Pitt has arrived yet.

Anyway, fellas, don't take this crap. Send them a freaking bill if they take you for a dinner ride. I did it and I've never been more proud of myself.
