I did mean indoor rock climbing, not hardcore outdoor stuff, and I'm pretty sure the indoor stuff is far, far easier - I've only climbed the little indoor walls at events maybe 4 or 5 times in my life, and a few weeks ago at the state fair I was able to make it up the 'hard' side (tiny foot/hand holds, with a 1.5-2' or so bulge coming out towards you a little over 1/2 way up.  Took me 40 seconds with a fucked up shoulder from laying sod the week prior and a handgun in my pocket.

And I'm NOT in good shape - it can't be that hard unless the wall was just so simple it was a joke and I don't know better.

You did fine, and I think with practice you could do very well. As for how hard it was, well, yes, it's a novice route, but it's at a goddamned state fair and you have no training. You aren't going to be doing the iron cross on the side of the mountain like in mission impossible. Also that autobelay has been recalled from the market, they really shouldn't be using it :/

I did mean indoor, yeah. I just feel that trying to include someone into anything that you do as a hobby that requires skill and training is a bad idea if you perform on a whole other level. It's perfectly fine to include people on things that you like, but I just don't think it's first or second date material that's all.

Congratulations Draegan, that's pretty awesome!

I assumed that the person who read my rockclimbing idea and went "hey, thats a good idea" was probably not an avid rockclimber themselves, as if they were it probably come up in conversation naturally and give someone at least an idea of whether or not their date would enjoy doing it.

Back on topic, I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the engagement thread, but I met my fiancée on OkCupid as well, our first date was coffee at starbucks, and after 15 or 20 minutes of conversation we realized we were hitting it off so we grabbed chinese food and went back to my place to watch movies/my brother play ps3.

Just goes to show that theres hope for everyone - if *I* can find someone, it should be a walk in the park for people who aren't crazy.

It's been a year since I dated a girl from okCupid for a few weeks and she is still stalking me. A week ago she was sending me text messages that she was outside my place waiting for me.  ACK!

Late to the party. Over four years, OkCupid provided me with an amazing number of friends all over the world and quite an astounding number of lovers, who I am still quite close to. The algorithm is neat enough to weed out people with too many dealbreakers, I greatly appreciate that.

As a polyamorous pansexual genderqueer born and living in the wrong country, my life without the internet shrinking the world and putting some of us weirdos together would have been hell.

I have a third date tonight   shocked, which reminded me of the "third date rule."  We've already talked and are Not There Yet(tm), but what are your thoughts on said rule in general?

My understanding is that it's some sort of combination of these:

For Girls: don't sleep with him until the third date or he'll think you're easy
For Guys: if she isn't sleeping with you by the third date she's not into you and isn't likely to sleep with you.

If I'm not fuckin' her by the 3rd hour, or close, then I'm failing as a man.

At least, that was my theory a decade ago when picking up bar floozies / drunken chicks at parties.



On a serious note, I think it was my 2nd 'date' with current baby momma and previous baby momma. Guess I'm just ahead of the curve, in number of kids and amount of dates to get ladies to get to business.

That's crazy.  I've already been out with the person I am seeing like 6 or 7 times and it's never even come up.

You seem to be missing the point.  Dating is a means to finding a mate.  Mating involves copulation.  If neither of you are interested in copulation with the other, to the point that you have seen each other for weeks now (six or seven dates could be well over a month) and have never broached the subject, then you are both wasting your time.

If you think you are being gentlemanly by not discussing it then be assured that she is probably thinking you're not really interested enough in her to ask.  We (men) get told that women don't like sex and it's a chore to them.  That's only true if you are really bad at sex or live in the 50's; otherwise most women like sex and more importantly, like to be thought of as sexy and desirable.  Which means telling them that you find them sexy.

That's all for this session of life tips by Murgos.  As with all internet advice, YMMV.

edit:  I am not saying you have to have sex.  I am saying you have to let her know she is sexually attractive to you.

While I suspect that Murgos is right that most women want to be at least vaguely approached on the subject of sweaty snugglebunnies, I don't think one can make the generalization that the 3rd date is the clincher. I think there has to be a more circumstantial analysis. What if the lady is a widow who is just now starting to get back into dating? You wanna start mackin' on a widow and have her leave in tears before desert arrives? That's gonna look great.
