internet dating...scares me

In this day and age where does one find a date other then the Internet? the grocery store is no longer an ample hunting ground thanks to online ordering. Damn you Internet for disconnecting basic human in person interaction. The bar scene,well its filled with douche bags that are just looking for their next one night stand or as i like to think about it their next STD receptacle. Its scary to think that 1 in 3 people have an std and dont tell their partners because they re using a condom. Clearly the condom is not as effective as we would like to believe, hence the 1 in 3 infected strangers or people dont use them which baffles me. SEX can kill you, you wear a seat belt while you drive you dont share needles to do drugs so why not wear a condom? As i mentioned before i have joined a few dating websites in my life time. In the beginning it was all in good fun because what did i have to lose? As i get older it seems like this Internet dating a necessary tool to meet men. Now what caliber of men i am still researching but in my own personal experience the Internet harbors liars, flakes, doucehbags, cheaters,cheapskates, and gay guys that wish they were straight. Dont get me wrong there is an occasional nice guy which i usually end up being super good friends with instead of having some romantic connection. But as the good lord knows i dont need anymore friends i would like to find a nice guy to settle down with. Im sure that i have not had the worst of the worst dates, i do have a BFF that shall remain nameless that has had some doosezies herself. One thing i have learned on these dating sites, fat and skinny, is your main picture really matters... thanks to all my personal experience and my BFFs stories we have cracked the code of Internet dating :

Body type: a few extra pounds really means up to 20 lbs.
Living with roommates: I live at home with my parents (thank you grandma's boy")
5'8 really means 5'6
Do you have kids? A:prefer not to say means baby mama drama or dead beat dad
Im an honest normal guy:means im a liar and probably have a gf or lots of girls that think their my gf im just collecting a harem.
Very pretty/handsome: means no matter how ugly i am i think im gods gift and youre not worthy of my time or money unless you look like barbie.

I would like to know when dating became lets meet on line, split the bill and have sex in the car without knowing each others last name! Where do i find the guys that want to treat a woman like a woman? when did this 50/50 crap become the standard? i still believe that on a first date the guy should meet the woman on her turf and do what needs to be done to make her feel comfortable. IF youre not willing to put in the work why should we give up the goods?

Im just saying ladies when you go on these online dates make sure you tell a friend just in case hes a serial killer rapist or just plain crazy and wants to chris brown you. its always a good idea to text a friend the make and model of the car if he picks you up just in case we need to know what kind of car to look for heaven forbid you go missing.
