When you're hooking up with a girl you know you're just giving it a shot and if you don't hit it off you just drive home. If I drive for 7 miles only to find a dude instead of a girl, I don't know about you, but I wouldn't try and hook up with him but get the hell home, and I would be very disappointed in the misleading service.

> When you're hooking up with a girl you know you're just giving it a shot and if you don't hit it off you just drive home. Certainly not. If I am not attracted to the woman I am not going to waste her and my time. I'm not going to try to have sex with her anyway, why would I? If I get hooked up with a woman that I don't find attractive then it is just as much a waste of my time as if it was a man.

  Maybe you do find her attractive only to find out she's a man. That's the problem I'm talking about.

    Obviously you've never so much as dipped your pinkie toe in the internet dating scene (or been set up on blind dates in general). Ever hear of the "myspace angle"? What you are describing happens with women too. It is not a big deal.

      "It is not a big deal." It's not. For people who aren't me, that is.

        Yeah, no kidding. You are pretty damn far out of their target audience. If that sort of thing is a big deal to you, then frankly it is best for everyone else that you don't use those kind of services.

It's not the misleading service; it's the misleading person who misled you, in particular, that you should be disappointed in. I wouldn't display too much animus about this. It makes you look, well, homophobic. And also like you don't have enough good sense to pre-vent people to make sure they are the gender you are seeking before meeting them, if you are so very concerned that someone might be (gasp, horrors) misleading you online.
