farscape dating

[brokendj23]

I think they should start a farscape dating page...not like humans wanting to date sebaceans or nebari (though the thought has crossed my mind, like everyone else!) but actual farscape fans wanting to date other farscape fans...if they're single...or not, whatever makes you happy i guess.

[brokendj23]

just wanted to add to that thought...if people put pics up then we could really see if they look like John aeryn or whoever...or if it really was always wishful thinking....(and yes i am looking for an Aeryn, Claudia's married now though)

[Frellster]

I don't think any of us look like John or Aeryn, and thankfully none of us look like Noranti either.

[generic_screenname]

The wierd thing is, I never ever would have joined a dating service, but I did meet my girlfriend right here at FMD. It was different because neither one of us really saw it coming.

[fiona-maria]

I also do not look like Noranti.*grin*

[Selena]

I do not look like Noranti either, but I'm working on it ... just give me another couple or three decades. Of course I feel more like Chiana :bounce: which does at times, present rather unique problems.:shrug:

What I've discovered regrettably is that most guys that are 50 something are not looking for a female of the species who is also 50 something. They're invariably looking for a female of the species who is 20 or 30 something.:pace:

Yeah, well that's what you think.

[stellar]

I look like Noranti.

[Darth Buddha]

I feel like Noranti looks.

[grinner]

:spew:

sorry about that Buddha... I hope someday you feel 100%

[recklesshumor]

I like looking at Noranti ... does that count?

[vhsiv]

Buddha, it sounds as though you need one of Noranti's magical herbal potions... I wish she could help you out...

Just remember that Wayne/Scorpy put in a specific request... "Bring the old woman to me!"

[Darth Buddha]

Thanks, guys, though that was meant to be humorous... if you can't laugh at things, you are SUNK!

I'd go for one of Noranti's potions... nothing else seems to work!

A dating section would be really weird on this board. There are folks I wouldn't mind meeting, but that's more of a social thing.

[BrowderChick]

I think it's great the people have met and gotten together on here...

And I do hope you feel better soon Buddha...

I'm all for a dating section... the wife said no though. Women.

Hey Buddha, how reliable are these GD exit polls? CNN is off the hook with their 1-minute after poll close predictions.

[Darth Buddha]

I'll never mention it again! I swear!

Seriously, I don't understand internet romance at all. I need to know somebody REALLY well, like how they behave when the fit hits the shan, how they behave when somebody else's blood is in the water, how they are to get lost with, etc.

I've only dated folks I've known for... well, at least a YEAR in a fairly regular basis. Moreover, until you share a foxhole with somebody, you don't know SQUAT.

Now people meeting each other through this site is great, when they can follow up in person. But actually developing a relationship? That seems nuts to me.

[Verlon]

Hmmm interesting. There is only one person I knew for more than a year before dating her, and there were extinuating circumstances there. I can't imagine taking a year to figure out if you wanted to date someone or not.

I am not saying its wrong, but it would not work for me. I am fine with meeting people however, wherever, and whyever, and the internet is just another place for me.

At least there is no smoking in here :)

[Antrobus]

SWM looking for "Noranti look alike" for friendship and maybe more!

Don't feel bad stellar...my husband said no too! :lol3: Funny thing is...we first met online and have been married for 3 yrs! :D I lived in New Orleans and he lived here in NJ.
There is something very interesting about meeting someone online. What first attracted me to my husband was the way he expressed himself in writing rather that speech and not the way he looked. Of course we finally met in person and luckily that worked for us too :rollin: :rollin: You can find out quite a lot about someone through their written words INHO. :D

[TajaKayScaper]

I'm all for it, count me in!!:):)

[Silk]

I'd like to join a carbon dating service.

[grinner]

need to figure out how old Noranti is?

[haesan]

*ROTFL@"carbon dating service"* Good one!

Anyway, I don't date online, but I'll share a semi-related anecdote. I recently met a girl with whom I have a date this weekend, and we never would have met if we weren't both Farscape fans. We met through a friend of mine, and when he met her and found out she liked Farscape, he said, "oh, I have someone you have to meet!" :-D

(She's the only Farscape fan I've ever met IRL. :-( The other two fans I know IRL I created with my DVD's and infectious devotion to the show.)

I agree my dad has had three online relationships and I wasn't to thrilled with the results I did like his ex from oz but it was too great of distance for them to go threw with their engagement.

And the winner for best use of a smiley.

I would try it, though I do have similar feelings to Darth Budda's though not to that extent.

I just find it difficult to meat people anyways. I can't just walk up to random people and start talking, i have to have a point of reference. Though this is a rare personality quirk in a theatre person. I've only had two girlfriends and that was over...wow...two years ago. And the closest thing since then was a crazy girl that just wanted to use me to cheat on her fiance.

Mostly I would like to find Farscape fans in my area (Austin, TX) closer to my age (21), and if they are female even better. No real (read: some) need for a dating service, but to find interesting people. anyone who wants to can just pm me, and we'll get 'a talken.

[Shipscat]

I don't know about internet dating..you hear some good things and bad things..I worry about chemistry, though. You can really like someone but just not have a spark with them in person.

But I do think you can know what someone's like when the dren hits the fan or someone's else's blood is in the water from the internet..there are some circumstances that really test character, and some things that are very revealing that might take you ages to find out in RL.

I had the same trouble with my wife. I guess it's a good thing I love her! :smooch:

yeah i always find it difficult to meat people too, they don't fit to easily in the grinder, and they usually don't want to do it either!

In Noranti's Humble Opinion?

[ranger1]

hey! some people find under-arm hair attractive in a woman! (just not me, personally)

i don't know about you, but i'm glad i wasn't caught by that hallucinogic (sp?) cloud in "Lava's a Many-Splendored Thing".....

[SeasonOfDeath]

This dude asks: "Is that YOUR female?"

[fiona-maria]

That's funny, Silk..."carbon dating service..."*ouch*

Online dating is ok. I haven't met anyone yet that I actually want to get to know beyond the initial "coffee date." (Coffee Date: you meet for an hour in a coffee shop and sit and talk. Nice neutral ground.) The guys have been nice but bland.

Selena, your comment about men of my age (45) wanting women of my brother's age (27) is, sadly, all too true. It's either that or I am supposed to be able to wear a size 8 little black cocktail dress.*huh*

FarScape dating? I have a date with my FarScape group this Saturday to meet for supper and then off to the Ice Palace for a dekko before the Winter Carnival finishes.

For me it's the meetup.com group tonight. Though they are all in their late forties (the ones that have shown up). I'm not sure if I'll go or not. Depends on how tired I am.

D'Argo lookalike seeks young, quirky, fun-loving female. Pale skin preferred over fake tan look. Nymphomaniac tendencies a plus! :cool:

[vandalrobert]

I have the same prob as spedoikel....
I'm just not good at the whole 'first contact' thing. meeting someone.
And a similar dating past. the last girl I dated 'seriously' was about 2 or 3 years ago. and recently ended a 'relationship' with some air head who was trying to get back at her boyfriend.
Plus I live inbetween Galveston and Texas City. both are hell holes. I live with my parents and I have no space for all the stuff I;ve accumulated over the past 24 years...or so...
and I can't throw things away...it feels wrong somehow. besides, you never know when you'll need your old cd jewl cases!
Or that copy of game informer from 1997...

I feel you.
(I hate that phrase...)
I feel...your pain...
(that one is slightly better)

Right back at you, man. :beergood:

[JadedLegend3]

I've given up on dating...online or otherwise. :shrug: Although I did meet this guy who absolutely loves me and wants to marry me...of course, I don't feel anything for him. But then again, I don't believe in love so maybe I should marry him.



Jacqui :love:

[TheBladeRoden]

dern it, two strikes down to one again

[JadedLegend3]

Jacqui :love:

[Darth Buddha]

Jacqui, you've got plenty of time at your age!

Back to an earlier subject... it doesn't take a year for me to determine the interest, but it usually takes me a long time to find out if somebody is truly a good character. On the other hand, if you share a foxhole with somebody you can figure stuff out a lot faster. Some of my clostest relationships came from absolutely horrible circumstances... "They were the best of times, they were the worst of times."

And stellar, sorry I missed your poll questions... I don't spend nearly the time here I used to..., but to answer the questioin:

I think CNN is really rolling the dice on these elections. If voters were just randomly distributed, sure. But some things covary by neighborhood within state, obviously. Just because the bulk of districts go one way doesn't mean another district will go strongly the other way, blowing their projections in a tight race.

And that is for the actual district reports! Not even the exit polls, which are biased toward those who are willing to tell.
