    • seldon452, on 06/03/2008, -21/+7Clearly, you have never been in an e-relationship.
      • Jack9, on 06/03/2008, -3/+19what does e-relationship mean? some type of "i'm antisocial and ugly to meet anyone" term?
        • jasdf, on 06/03/2008, -1/+15I think that pretty much sums it up.
        • TheRedCoat, on 06/03/2008, -2/+1An e-relationship is any relationship taking place north of the Watford Gap
    • mangosinslo, on 06/03/2008, -6/+197It's all in your imagination??
      • gigigugit, on 06/03/2008, -12/+7Internet dating is for real. How do you think we find all the women for our polygamist compound??
    • coldfusion1970, on 06/03/2008, -12/+6Thats why we surf the intraweb instead boffing girls :-(
      • midejitsu, on 06/03/2008, -1/+2Minus five for misspelling “teh internets”. Plus multiple severals for attempting to keep “boffing” alive.
    • Bob042, on 06/03/2008, -22/+11And you never will!

      ...sorry, it was too easy.
    • Spudster, on 06/03/2008, -12/+4It would have been funnier if he met her in real life and she was all fat, ugly and awkward.
      • sephiroth965, on 06/03/2008, -0/+13Correction: "It would have been incredibly cliche if he met her in real life and she was all fat, ugly and awkward."
        • fadetoone, on 06/03/2008, -1/+6Cliche, but accurate nonetheless.

      • sewerraccoon, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1Not unlike your mother. I'm sorry that was a pretty cheap hit.
        • Inquisition, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1His mother has always been a "cheap hit"

          Now, THAT was too easy! :)
    • ligyron, on 06/03/2008, -17/+6I thought it's saying that all online hookups end with sex and you never see the person again

      In the end he's alone again and not any happier
      • Muyoso, on 06/03/2008, -6/+11No you *****. Don t you see the ***** bubbles coming from his head, denoting its a thought of his??? God people are stupid.
      • mattlohkamp, on 06/04/2008, -2/+8wow, calm down already. He could be REMEMBERING the good times, he doesn't necessarily have to be imagining the whole thing...

      http://www.stdmatch.net
    • ModernGeek, on 06/03/2008, -12/+16I think it means that he did all of those things, and he is laying down regretting it. I mean, they did it on the first date!
      • BruceBogtrotter, on 06/04/2008, -5/+5It looks like that's all happening for real but then when you get to the bottom you realize he is just imagining it.
      • ch1ck3n3, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1I don't know about you but I can't afford flowers, carnival tickets, movie tickets, and food for a picnic on the first-- or any other date for that matter.

  • Cenobia, on 06/03/2008, -40/+102I think I might be missing the other half of the comic...the first part isn't funny.
    • Cenobia, on 06/03/2008, -2/+15There we go. Now it makes sense.
      • Grjemo, on 06/04/2008, -2/+33Why did you reply to yourself.
        • Grjemo, on 06/04/2008, -2/+60That should end with a question mark, stupid!
        • paranoiabacon, on 06/04/2008, -1/+20oh wow

          then you might
          get laid?
  • MakiMaki, on 06/03/2008, -10/+291Oops. Sorry, didn't know the comic was cut in half when I submitted it. See here for the full image:

    • Joshuarr, on 06/03/2008, -23/+13Well that didn't make it any funnier...
    • glinsvad, on 06/03/2008, -7/+73I liked it better before...
      • WallnutBoy, on 06/03/2008, -3/+52Yeah.. the other half hits a little too close to home for me...

        ...='(
      • johnsmith3210, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2I love the tear in the eye... lol
    • Teck64, on 06/03/2008, -7/+3there's no Sign-Off IRL.
    • Surferess, on 06/03/2008, -2/+9Thank you!
    • diggerphelps, on 06/03/2008, -11/+9Still sucks.
    • emalen, on 06/03/2008, -2/+112Isn't this exactly the same?
      • ep53, on 06/03/2008, -3/+20Nah, it now says the word "Internet" at the top. Thank god for his update, i was completely lost.
        • ultrafez, on 06/03/2008, -0/+10That's the same URL though as the one submitted...?
      • MakiMaki, on 06/04/2008, -0/+48The original image was cut in half... I only noticed it a while ago so I left the full image link in the comments. I emailed Digg support and got them to change the link to the full image. They took quite a while (more than 15 hours) to change it, hence the confusion.
      • CalvinLawson, on 06/04/2008, -2/+2Ahhhh! I apologize for the bad mouthing...
    • DaviDTC, on 06/03/2008, -7/+43So wait. It is true that you and the rest of the super-submitters really have no clue what you are submitting? Thanks for clearing that up for us.
      • MacMan88, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5yup. all they care about is being the first to submit and hopefully watch it pop on the front page.
      • CalvinLawson, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1No *****, right? Help! I can't drive my browser!
      • rockrodger, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1dugg for "super Submitters"
    • aldenhg, on 06/04/2008, -0/+10I want a girl whose house has "DING DONG" painted on the side.
  • obeezy, on 06/03/2008, -14/+2Good recovery MakiMaki! I thought that I had missed another internet joke.

    Also dugg for internetz being a series of tubes
  • mikesolis, on 06/03/2008, -17/+12I kind of like it better without the second half
  • wynja, on 06/03/2008, -8/+124I must dream a lot as I've found women looking for dates on the internet are horny as hell and you should be able to bag them in two-three dates tops.
    We should stop calling it internet dating and rename it internet cruising.
    • breadfred, on 06/03/2008, -1/+26My experience tells me that they show a picture of themselves from 10 years ago and they have increased in size so much that you have trouble digging through the fat rolls. Sad memories indeed.
      • Oea420, on 06/03/2008, -1/+37The lift and stick is an aquired art.. with enough experience, you'll be able the lift that fat flab and achieve maximum penetration without chafing!

        Just keep practicing man
        • tyywebb, on 06/03/2008, -0/+23*cries*
        • wynja, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2To hell with their pleasure, you should just get off in their fat roll.
    • Sogui, on 06/03/2008, -10/+35If by "Horny as hell" you mean "has aids" then you're absolutely correct, enjoy your AIDS.
      • DephexTwin, on 06/03/2008, -1/+13You're just jealous because he's getting LAID(S).
        • Dested, on 06/04/2008, -3/+5Make that L lowercase and you got yourself a pun.
        • johnsmith3210, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2"Make that L lowercase and you got yourself a pun."
          See this is what I wish happened more often... Constructive criticism, rather than never ending pointless ridicule. You make digg a better place.
      • wynja, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1Right, cause everyone looking to get laid has AIDS. Dude, go back to your no pussy getting hole and stop bothering us.
    • bxblox, on 06/03/2008, -0/+11Have a Merry Herpes, and a Happy New Valtrex.
      • wynja, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1Again, not everyone that needs to get laid has a disease. No wonder you people never get laid. Here's a ***** hint dumbass, wrap that thing before you stick it in. Oh, and do a cursory inspection of the vaginal area before having sex with a girl. It's called foreplay and it can be used to your advantage. Not that you've ever heard of foreplay, mind, but it's worth a quick wikipedia look up. With these two little things, your going to be safer than using public toilets to take a dump. Yes, you can get herpes from a toilet seat.
    • Haz3rd, on 06/04/2008, -11/+4CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
    • gavinhudson, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2Except then you're dating a woman from the internet who's horny as hell b/c she can't get laid... which is cool... i guess...
      • wynja, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1pussy is pussy. it's all pink and warm on the inside. even big girls need lovin'.
    • yacks, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5oh they say they are horny.. and want to show you their webcam with them being naked for $19.99
  • franklymister, on 06/03/2008, -9/+118It's even funnier because you have to find the second half in the comments.

    Well played, sir.
    • Daniel591992, on 06/03/2008, -0/+30Huh? I saw the whole thing in the story..
      • Intamin, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5Read the thread five comments up and ye shall understand.
    • dubloe7, on 06/03/2008, -4/+2I think its even funnier because It's really old copypasta that everyone has seen a dozen times.
      • raysaagar, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4i think it's funny that people keep complaining about this.
    • dabura, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1arhhh...i see what you did there
  • xero69, on 06/03/2008, -8/+272A more realistic comic would be the girl ignoring the guy as she deletes message after message from all the lamers contacting her through the inter-tubes. After the guy finally gives up trying to talk to her he decides to whack off to some Brazilian fart porn instead.
  • faceless323, on 06/03/2008, -4/+63awesome comic...the bags under his eyes and the tears rock.
  • NiGHTSChao, on 06/03/2008, -21/+94chan content on Digg again?

    • a22e, on 06/03/2008, -5/+124Glad I am not the only one.
      • ell0bo, on 06/04/2008, -3/+1you want to feel better? http://www.tofindher.com . I wrote about how much ***** sucked, but eventually I did get lucky. Fortunately I live in an area without much competition, although not many prospects, and one got desperate enough.
    • Elissar, on 06/03/2008, -1/+69It would, but my delusions aren't that detailed.
      • jasmus, on 06/03/2008, -0/+21Aren't as detailed as stick figures?
        • Gutterpunk, on 06/03/2008, -0/+16Yeah, it's hard to go out with a woman that only has boobs when we go on a picnic
      • harrison5394, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2only the nipples are.
    • Gutterpunk, on 06/03/2008, -3/+23Ah Ah!

      • raid517, on 06/03/2008, -2/+7Go on admit it. Your dreaming that too.

        Life really, really ***** sucks son.
      • truebeliever83, on 06/04/2008, -3/+2Some diggers must be pretty lame dude! I met a girl on plenty of fish and it was almost exactly like the first part of the comic.
      • fallingdamage, on 06/04/2008, -0/+0I met my fiance on craigslist.
    • identifiedlogo, on 06/04/2008, -3/+5Do u find girls on the Internet as hot as girls in clubs? (True question, I swear)
    • desertDenizen, on 06/04/2008, -0/+8I found the girl of my dreams on eHarmony. It can work. She's hot, loves sex and Battlestar. Seriously. (We're still working on Blade Runner and no, Empire is not "the one with the teddy bears.")
      • yellowfish04, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1ahem...Return would be "the one with the teddy bears", if any were to be called that

        but I hear ya
        • desertDenizen, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1Right, that's why I'm saying.
        • yellowfish04, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1ok, I thought that's what you were going for. I stand corrected.

      ***** you, Digg! I'm leaving! I thought this was a place to share content!

      /sarcasm.
    • contact, on 06/03/2008, -2/+2You're saying, for the last two days, you could have had a front page digg post stolen straight from reddit and reposted here?!?!? Poor show old man.. all you got was a crappy comment out of it that I am burying.

      Cheers!

  • Jack9, on 06/03/2008, -29/+1This makes no sense. Wide eye'd guy dreamt it all? What is that supposed to mean?

    Marked inaccurate.
    • coldfusion1970, on 06/03/2008, -0/+16It means intraweb dating doesnt work and he has to cry himself to sleep every night. Like me :-(
      • dopplerdog, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1I was married before these interweb thingies appeared, so I've missed out on this phenomenon. Call me old-school, but I can't see how they could possibly work well.

        Every girlfriend I've had, it wasn't a photo, or a list of attributes, or even specific likes and dislikes that drew me to her - it was their flirtatiousness, their body language, and "chemistry" that triggered the initial flame. And for this, you need to see her in *person*. Without this prerequisite, nothing else works, even if she has similar interests, ambitions, etc.

        I can't imagine wanting to date a girl simply from looking at a photo or a list of attributes - I'd think that's an incredibly inefficient way of doing things, as I'd imagine *hundreds* would have to be screened in this way before one with the right "chemistry" came along. I'd think meeting them in clubs, special interest groups, classes, work, etc, would be a much more effective use of time.

        Can someone with experience with internet dating elaborate on their experiences?


    • apmtt, on 06/03/2008, -0/+4Do you need the comic maker to actually write what the joke is or what
    • DaHuuuuuudge, on 06/03/2008, -1/+5Don't bury something inaccurate just because you don't get it.

  • TotalDouche, on 06/03/2008, -1/+33I think it's saying, finding a girl on the internet and falling madly in love is "in your dreams". Get it? I know....
  • mikefitz2, on 06/03/2008, -13/+8so they have sex, then he dreams of them cuddling but he's actually cuddling with his pillow?

    jesus I figured this would be easier to figure out.
    • Frost9999, on 06/03/2008, -0/+14He imagined the whole thing. All of it.
    • CircleFusion, on 06/03/2008, -1/+20So, in conclusion, he ***** his pillow.

  • jake86, on 06/03/2008, -4/+11What a tragedy....

    Go outside and meet some girls stickman.
    • identifiedlogo, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4but but but....
    • shiftty, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2I think you meant, go outside and meet some real girls, stickam
  • clarient, on 06/03/2008, -5/+139She's only got boobs in two of the panels. I find that suspicious.
    • geobay, on 06/03/2008, -0/+142-dimensional girls can be a bit tricky. Try the 3-dimensional ones some time.
      • clarient, on 06/03/2008, -3/+5I am one, and I'll pass. I prefer the male variety.
        • DephexTwin, on 06/03/2008, -1/+13The male girls?
        • eengineer, on 06/04/2008, -4/+2Is she insinuating shes a girl on digg?
          Bury as inaccurate?
        • clarient, on 06/04/2008, -1/+3The male variety of three-dimensional beings! It wasn't that hard to grasp, was it?!
        • LMaxey, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4That's what she said
    • Suprfire, on 06/04/2008, -1/+5Ugh, stupid fag (AnonymousDigger) that keeps posting the "It's a Trap!", should have done it like...here.

      Dumbass
    • kamerononfire, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2Good attention to boobs, Sir.
    • savantidiot, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1You can't handle the truth?
  • lordewoks, on 06/03/2008, -9/+4I thought this was an XKCD comic from the thumbnail :(
  • Zuwxiv, on 06/03/2008, -11/+6BURIED FOR EBAUMS
  • samuraivanity, on 06/03/2008, -5/+55Dugg for ***** at the picnic.
  • aptanalogy, on 06/03/2008, -4/+18Aww... so I guess everything turned out fi-- wait, what? :_-( I'm sad now.
  • KaivenTor, on 06/03/2008, -6/+4Been there, done that, it didn't work out well at all. The comic is kinda sorta funny, in a sadistic sort of way.
  • goddessophia, on 06/03/2008, -1/+8No internet dating please. "I just want your extra time and your kiss." - Prince
  • xadious, on 06/03/2008, -9/+18Great stuff!

    Don't really know why so many people are confused. The whole thing is a fantasy the internet geek is having, all the while wallowing in his self pity at the realisation that he doesn't have any of that nor is it very realistic. Day dreaming too much rather than actually socialising face to face and building a real relationship.
    • s0nicfreak, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5I don't see why this is not very realistic... I have done this, if you replace carnivals with anime conventions and ferris wheals with arcades.
  • scout007, on 06/03/2008, -9/+4wow, this comic described what I spent 6 months doing on a dating website. I, for one, am happy that I am not dating anymore but instead spending that time having fun. Yes, I am selfish, digg me down!!
    • AUniquePerson, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1I don't know why you're being dugg down... You deserve a thumbs up!
  • ligyron, on 06/03/2008, -5/+7I'm so glad I zoomed in and read it from top to bottom without spoiling the ending. Lol'd at the end
  • lordewoks, on 06/03/2008, -5/+14How come she only has ***** in the picnic scene?
    • diggdoom, on 06/03/2008, -0/+4I thought that, but she has them in the first scene too. I can't believe I just checked that comic for stickwoman *****.
  • ElBeh, on 06/03/2008, -7/+6I've internet-dated before...

    It sucked. :(
    • BoneheadFarker, on 06/03/2008, -0/+4Get off of Plenty Of Fish and try a good pay site. And by good, I don't mean lets-help-Christians-get-married.eHarmony.com...
      • rugabug, on 06/03/2008, -0/+12I found my gf on PoF. Now I'm just trying to work up the balls to introduce myself.
      • tyywebb, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1Wats a good one?
    • ElBeh, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I don't go looking for women online, BoneheadFarker, I just might happen to meet someone I like on an online forum or on a chat network and "date" them online.
      • BoneheadFarker, on 06/03/2008, -0/+5Oh. I see. In that case, give Plenty Of Fish a shot...
      • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 06/04/2008, -0/+3I met my current boyfriend on digg... believe it or not, it's working out. Over a year so far
    • bluelights, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2did it swallow?
  • asskicker32, on 06/03/2008, -2/+7I think its hilarious. poor bastard...
  • BlueSkyfish, on 06/03/2008, -11/+9/digg/ - random
  • Farmer77, on 06/03/2008, -6/+53What if the comic wasn't a dream, but actually happend, and he is just remembering happy times from the past before the internet chick dumped him. You can interpret it that way as well.
    • diggerphelps, on 06/03/2008, -0/+7Unrequited love (or lust) happened before the Internetz, too.
    • barkus, on 06/03/2008, -0/+26True, but that interpretation wouldn't be very funny.
    • ligyron, on 06/03/2008, -1/+4That's what I thought it was--a one-night stand kind of thing. I guess I took it that way because everyone I ever heard about hooking up on online usually just met the person, went on a date, had sex the same day, and never talked to them again

      I found it funny that way. After reading a lot of the comments, it seems that the comic is probably about something else, or a large portion of Diggers just aren't getting the real joke. I find "that interpretation" a lot funnier than some guy randomly imaging the whole thing in his head which doesn't make a lot of sense and I'm not sure what the punch line would be in that case...
      • AUniquePerson, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5I interpreted it as: He meets the girl online and "dates" her, but never meets her in person. I'm sure they both plan on it, but months and months go by and it eventually eats up their lives. (hence the crying panel at the end). Maybe it's a bit "out there", but that's definitely the first thing that popped into my head...
      • homerang, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2If you ever can't figure out the punchline, just go with "The Aristocrats!" It usually works.

        ... this time it makes rich girls sluts.
  • RSS14, on 06/03/2008, -12/+19You think the comic is about a sequence of events which occurred in the comic's universe. However, once you see the thinking bubble, and the stick figure crying, you realize that the events were occurring in the mind of the stick person.He was imagining a dream which could never be realized.
