Interesting.  Could you recommend a scaling factor to adjust the inequality?  I suggest that we start with something simple:

AdjustedMaximalTimeToFucking - 3 * ShriekabilityRatio <= 0

That formula says that if you aren't knocking on heaven's door within an adjusted number of days you're being a chump.

Until more research can be done, I think that the ShriekabilityRatio would best be represented by a data table.

Female TypeShriekabilityRatio
Widow2
Slut0.33
Reformed Slut3
CPA1.5
Convict0.1
Nun10
Ex-Nun5

Where multiple categories apply I think we should just multiply them.  Example 1: Widow Slut would yeild a ShriekabilityRatio of .66, whereas a Convicted Nun would give a ShriekabilityRatio of 1 (just three dates till you are banging the Convict Nun, who knew it could be so easy!).

Like to recommend adding "virgin" as a type and a bonus "crazy" multiplier, though.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Need "bipolar" and "chameleon" on the list. Bipolar's obvious, but the chameleon's are the ones that are TOTALLY into whatever it is their current obsession is into.

You can tell who they're dating by the way they dress and act. (For the male version, see "Randy" from "My Name is Earl").

Also add "single mom" although I am torn at the value.  Higher than slut but lower than CPA.

Depends on the single mom. Some work out to be "I don't mention having a kid until you're already invested in this" and others are very much "I mention the kid the moment I talk to someone dateable" and still others are "I'm picky as fuck because any guy I date is a guy my kid is going to be exposed to".

Serious response:  There's no right time.  If you're enjoying each other company, don't worry how long it is until you get it on.

Don't you mean a multiplier for "not-crazy"?  Crazy is already factored in to the default value.

My wife was a single mom when I met her. She was...very cautious. Then again, the reason she was a single mom was that her ex-husband was a crazy fucker.

I can't blame her for being cautious. As to horny -- I'd imagine that has more to do with the fact that "single moms" are often in their late twenties or early thirties, with the higher sex drives, than any kid-enforced chastity.

Nice to see someone thinks this way.  I'm just enjoying socializing with someone who actually enjoys going out and doing things that I think are fun.

I mean seriously, the last person I dated for almost 14 months before having sex (and no, neither of us were religious).  We also got married after 3 years together.  It's just not a priority for everyone.

Ah, but crazy can go so many ways that it's hardly a fixed value.   awesome, for real

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.

Any person that uses the phrase "baby momma" shouldn't be breeding. Especially by accident.

Yeah, because I give a shit what schild of f13 thinks about me being a dad.

Breeding is serious business. Luckily, I'm fuckin' awesome at it and have great kids. All eighteen of them.



EDIT: Misread Typhon post.

My great uncle Packie had 18 kids and he made a great example of why quantity doesn't necessarily beat out quality when it comes to being a parent.

HA.  Also - there is no reason to NOT have relations on the first date.  Hell, I can  only think of a couple times this didn't happen with me - just move in and seal the deal.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Arise, ye dating thread.

Match.com gets a(nother) lawsuit regarding inactive users.

Quote
Dallas-based online dating site Match.com is facing a federal lawsuit alleging that more than half of its profiles belong to inactive members or scammers.

The complaint, filed Dec. 30 in U.S. District Court in Dallas, alleges that the company does not remove profiles of customers who cancel subscriptions or vet profiles that may be fake.

The complaint also alleges that Match.com encourages members to renew subscriptions by sending them a message from an inactive or fake profile expressing romantic interest.

Wonder if they can get the guys from OKCupid who did the subscriber stats in as expert witnesses...

Can't say they are the worst of the sites (*cough*True.com*cough*), but I can't argue with any of the complaints in the lawsuit from my own personal experience.

That was certainly a complaint of mine when I was using the site, along with that you can't tell who is and is not a subscriber.  Put the two of those things together and I felt like most of my introductory emails went nowhere.

Which, it now turns out was what happened.

The one gripe I have with those dating services is that you cannot specify anything about sexual preferences. For me at least this is another aspect where you should kind of be on the same page.
