Best metaphors for "the hunt"

Since there's people from all over the world here, what do you and your peeps use for when you're going out to get yours.

One I just heard: I just want to separate her from the herd and get her into the tall grass.

I just want to stay at home and wait 'till she comes knocking my door.

Or how about this: Please, let me stay alone at home (though it's new years eve and everything) and listen to Telefon Tel Aviv with lights off (except the one from christmas tree).

Reminds me of an old room mate I had who desperately wanted a girlfriend, but who would not leave the house. I used to tell him "If she was hiding under your bed you would have found her by now."

Yeah, reminds me of my old bands: we are certain, that one day a top manager will drive by our rehearsal room and hear the distant noise and get overwhelmingly interested in our music and sign us to a major one.

Okay, I've reached 420. I'm off to separate the most suitable ones from my herd for the rest of the night.

A few nights ago my roommate took the 45 minutes or so to answer all the questions on eharmony honestly. This is the most, if not only, effort he's put into dating for about 2 years. After doing all this the response came back that there are 0 women he is compatible with. He kept widening his search until it included the entire state of California and still 0 women. We've now reached the point in history where you can get knocked down a few notches from the comfort of your home while casting the widest of all possible nets. At least the drinks are free.

Get rejected without ever leaving home - Now that's progress!

January was going to be the month that he hammered the dating sites hard, but this one experience with eHarmony made him quit already. If he got rejected in public I fear he'd throw himself off a cliff.

If you're not a Jesus freak and you're going to be honest about the fact that you smoke and the amount of alcohol that you drink then eHarmony is not the site for you and you shouldn't base all other sites on that.

I also had this small amount of comfort to offer: Women are lazy when it comes to dating because they really don't have to put out any effort. So if it took him 45 minutes to answer eHarmony's points of compatibility there's a good chance a woman is going to close her browser long before that.

Also, like myself, he doesn't look good on paper.

I don't think eHarmony is the place... I have met people that have used it... I wouldn't date any of them.

There's one my neighbor told me about a couple of days ago, OKCupid.com. He said that his girlfriend's friends were going on dates with people from that site. He also said that all the dudes turned out to be rude sex fiends when the chicks hooked up with them and didn't put out or give head that night.

Internet dating creeps me out.

I'll have to put that site on his radar.

I used to think Internet dating is creepy too, but as you get older there's not a lot of other ways to meet women and either the bar scene gets old or you get too old for the bar scene. And there's plenty of "normal" people I know that met their "normal" boyfriend/girlfriend on the net. It's less creepy than it once was, but like all good things, there's no shortage of d-bags out there to ruin it for everybody.

You boys need to get to the super market. That's where all the quality fresh meat is. "Oew, those apples are good but these ones are better."
