As promised, here is part 2 of drawings I did about 7 years ago for a book I never published called “Internet Dating Sucks”. For more on the backstory and to see part one of the images, click here.
I love both both of these cartoons, Bearman! You really need to do something with them especially since Internet Dating has sucked even more over the past seven years. I’ll help ya!
I think I ended up falling for my wife because she was the first person to respond to me with legitimate questions about my art instead of your average, initial repulsion.:)
It’s reached the indifference stage so far, quickly to be followed by the Let’s Go Out To Dinner On Your Huge Project Wonderful Profits stage heaped on with heavy sarcasm.
I met my husband via a game-simulation newsgroup, corresponded for about two years since we lived about 4k miles apart, and then we met in person. You couldn’t call it “dating” though until we met in person. For us it was more like the times before telephone was invented; long and fascinating letters (email) to each other.
Those are good cartoons you made. They described my fears once we’d decided to meet in person. LOL Fortunately he’s just as sweet and fascinating in person. <3
My wife and I “dated” for two years (nothing but phone calls and e-mails. No Skype or webcamera) before we ever met. It felt like I was cheating on her with her when we first got together. It’s a very strange feeling.
Two years? I met someone that live in another city. Everything went great and we talked for hours on the phone for a month. Finally I decided to just jump in the car and drive up there to see her. Neither of us felt anything.
We were both afraid that we had ran our well dry before physically met, but we hadn’t. We hit it off lovely. It was weird “knowing” someone’s voice for two years, but having to learn whether they were hand-wavers when they spoke. Did they walk funny? Did they eat with their hands and not utensils. This is stuff you really take for granted if it’s not a part of your daily life.
It was weird meeting her. She smelled great. She was even prettier than I always imagined or saw in her photos. We got to hold each other and hug. It truly felt like I was cheating on her with her. My mind could hardly take it for the first hours or so. I kept asking her where the pause button was so I oucl reflect on the situation. 🙂
That would be a cool book. How about for one : You look nothing like your profile picture of that vampire girl from Twilight. Oh ya? Well despite the costume… your no Batman.
I never had a worsse time dating than when I tried internet dating. I guess it works for some. My friend married his internet date, and I’d never tell him so, but they are a horrible match.
Have you been reading my diary again?
LOVED the cartoons, and sorry you never published the book.
Last two relationships started online. Both crashed and burned after a year each.
Might have something to do with Craigslist. Although I did meet this med student back east one time. Missed his second date after he was arrested for murder. I saw a bright future with that one -sigh-
Don’t Trust ANYTHING you read on Facebook. And just for the record Loon, she lives no where near me so her wacky dating story wouldn’t make a good FL entry.
#1 There’s just no pleasing some people
#2 A Priest maybe???
My sister had a really funny, but not funny to her, internet dating experience.
She was online dating a bloke who was a 26 year old school teacher whome she had yet to meet in person. It was getting rather serious & they often discussed marriage, sex, having kids etc. This relationship had been going n for about 6 months & she reckoned she was really in love. One day she got an email from his email account but written by his mother. He was actually a 13 year old kid.
Aww, I’ve never tried online dating, I suppose I’m pretty awkward in real life so I can’t imagine how I’d come off on the internet. Glad to hear of George’s success! I can’t imagine what it’d be like meeting someone you’ve communicated with for so long without actually being with them. But from what I hear when you find that special someone, it doesnt matter!

Maybe I could just get guest cartoons of folks re-imagining the jokes in these
Outrageous funny. These are cool.
Thanks MJ and thanks for sharing on G+
I met Stephen via the internet 🙂
But how many frogs did you have to go through first?
None! I was an internet virgin.
You should be on Ripleys Believe it or Not then.
Was the first one before they included pictures in the profile?
Women are so fussy about comedy such as no jokes during sex – what’s up with that?
not all women. ;`)
1. Not everyone posts a picture and
2. Not everyone posts THEIR OWN picture
I met my wife thru a profile that had an entirely different photo than was hers.
So you married a liar? haha
She married one too, so it was only fitting. 🙂
I wondered what my picture was doing in YOUR profile.
You’ve had the gift all along magi! o.O [grin]
Why you calling me Maggie?
Surely, you jest! [wink]
Now you call me Shirley?
Cartoon #1: “I’m just a honka honka burnin’ love, baby!”
Cartoon #2: In the immortal words of Aerosmith, “Dream On! Dream On! Dream On!”
haha HONK HONK
I ran across a few who had little to give but wanted a whole lot. One told me based on what I did for a living I couldn’t possibly support her.
I think I ended up falling for my wife because she was the first person to respond to me with legitimate questions about my art instead of your average, initial repulsion.:)
did the repulsion come later? hahah
It’s reached the indifference stage so far, quickly to be followed by the Let’s Go Out To Dinner On Your Huge Project Wonderful Profits stage heaped on with heavy sarcasm.
Never had to internet date, been married 25 years. These two comics make me glad I never had to! 🙂
HOld tightly to that wonderful wife of yours then.
I met my husband via a game-simulation newsgroup, corresponded for about two years since we lived about 4k miles apart, and then we met in person. You couldn’t call it “dating” though until we met in person. For us it was more like the times before telephone was invented; long and fascinating letters (email) to each other.

So did you date long distance? How did that work out?
Didn’t you talk on the phone??
My wife and I “dated” for two years (nothing but phone calls and e-mails. No Skype or webcamera) before we ever met. It felt like I was cheating on her with her when we first got together. It’s a very strange feeling.

Pause button is a trip to the bathroom where she wonders if you are taking a break or taking a dump.
I think I dated that clown. I’m pretty sure of it. Like them both and the last one made me spew my water all over the monitor.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I take no responsibility for having to purchase anyone new computer equipment.
Dating the internet is overrated. Too much data and not enough substance.
But sometimes you might get a little Byte.
What is this ‘dating’ you speak of?
Hmm. Well, whatever it is, sounds carbon neutral enough . . .
Didn’t realize you were THAT old.
That would be a cool book. How about for one : You look nothing like your profile picture of that vampire girl from Twilight. Oh ya? Well despite the costume… your no Batman.
I never had a worsse time dating than when I tried internet dating. I guess it works for some. My friend married his internet date, and I’d never tell him so, but they are a horrible match.
Unless of course your friend reads my blog, and then you have just told him.
Are you referring to me, buddy? 🙂
No…you are a perfect match.
The only perfect match I know are my moobs.
No…those are lopsided too.
It’s only the nipples that are lopsided, thank you.
Love these! Why is FB telling me this is a spammy link?? I mean other than their total suction?
Heading off to see the rest. This definitely needs to be an user manual…I meant, book.
Red.
FB Sucks the life out of me. They must be jealous that I have been spending all my time with G+
I think that clown needs to date that Mom.
He is too good for her.
I bet if that clown had green hair he’d be doing much better with the ladies.
🙂
This clown does and he did not.
I am glad I am too old to have experienced that. I was afraid my wife would fall for the Pony Express rider when we were communicating though.
Amazing they crossed paths in the short amount of time the PE was running.
I’m diggin’ the style. Love the clown.
Thanks Jack and thanks for stopping by.
I actually did personal ads before internet dating was big. That was interesting!
Oh the stories I think you could tell.
It’s called a priest… though they can’t marry… yet.
I have been trying to post on your site all week and it won’t work. I even signed up for the darn commenting thing and it still wouldn’t work.
In my many years of Internet dating I’ve learned no woman wants to date a funny guy.
No but they want to marry one.
Would be nice if you added some color 🙄
Hey Bearman, you might want to slip a few of these toons to Susi Spice . Might help her work out what she’s doing wrong. …I’m just saying!!!
I would give Susi some advice directly if she got her butt off facebook and back in the real internet world.
Maybe that’s her problem? Oh that and yogurt loaves!!!
No yogurt loaves is OUR problem.
Oh man, that clown showing up would be enough to put me on edge :S
Thank god I’ve never had to internet date, I have nothing but pity for my unmarried friends who have.
I have several friends who found great matches…but…
I’m thankful that I never had to experience internet dating, but I totally would have dated that clown.
These are great! I’d buy that book.
I thought you married THAT clown..haha
Have you been reading my diary again?

YOu are making that up. That is an urban legend…..hah
No I didn’t make it up. Maybe she made it up & I was gullible enough to believe it but that’s the truth of what she told me.
Well then she isn’t the only one to fall for that one.
Funny stuff, Bearman, both are really good.
I can’t believe how many of your guests have internet dated.
Its the day and age I guess.
I guess we have to change with the times.
Aww, I’ve never tried online dating, I suppose I’m pretty awkward in real life so I can’t imagine how I’d come off on the internet. Glad to hear of George’s success! I can’t imagine what it’d be like meeting someone you’ve communicated with for so long without actually being with them. But from what I hear when you find that special someone, it doesnt matter!
Actually online you tend to come off less awkward…well except for that woman who sent me naked pictures of herself. (and it wasn’t pretty either)
Before I was married, I tried online dating. Didn’t work too well. I’m the guy that tried to put up ‘cool’ pictures of myself, to no avail.
You are very lucky to have found such a forgiving wife.
