Online dating is a game. It's the Safety Dance. And you have to stick with it for it to work.
Also: I found several great nerdy girls online. Turns out nerdy girls like the internet.
...
Nobody finds "true love" by being 100% honest on a date. That's ludicrous and total information overload... like dumping a clutch or anal sex using Ajax as a lubricant: abrupt and abrasive. You wanna be you? That's the plan. But be you in easily digestible chunks, not the whole enchilada in a single gulp.
And now for a little song about the subject:
Oh, man, I can't believe the things I said to you
Hey, I must have been out of my mind
Desperation crept in from all the things I've kept in
I'm sorry, I just couldn't help my self
Am I coming off like I'm crazy?
Is my lack of pretense too intense?
Am I telling you more than you wanna know?

No. You want to get the most physically/mentally attractive/compatible partner you can by browsing through a pool of people who've basically declared they're looking for someone in the pool you're currently floating in right now. Now, nobody is going to get to know how awesome you are when you're just being yourself if they don't pick you up off the shelf for a lookie-loo first. You sell yourself as the best thing ever to get attention that will attract a wider range of potential dates, not because you're lying to yourself or anyone else. Use me as an example. In real life? I'm some dumbass non-traditional student with mediocre looks, a POS car, and a long future of government employment. But on dating sites? I'm
