internet dating websites!

[DottyDuck]

so I haven't dated in a while... and a friend said try a dating website its fun! so reluctantly i gave it a go.. and i wish i didn't bother now! i hate wearing my hear on my sleeve! i messaged a few people thinking ... "aww he seems nice!" .. anyways.. i didnt get messaged back from any of them... i knew i should of just left it ... but i hate putting myself out there and embarrassing myself..

i checked who viewed my profile and the youngest that did was 16 years older than me!!!!! now i know relationships can work with age gaps.. but to me thats just far too big..

anyways thats my rant over

You're a member of BCF, right? You therefore should know the sort of idiot you find on the internet. So you've only got yourself to blame, really. Best left alone.

You need to make your window dressed up with the essence of you, and taking ignored as a confidence hit, is not gonna help you attal.

You could always Pm 'Mark Roberts' from bcf, I hear he's the perfect specimen of a modern man, he's a sensitive lover, has worked for a major seafood manufacturer and is able to weld to within 4 thou - I can put money on a reply.

Be sure to let us know how you get on with your experience meeting someone from the interwebs

I've met three people from POF...two were (still are mental), first one started talking about having kids together on the first date! I made some crap up and just left. Second used an old photo, clearly put a bit of weight on...that was fun when she invited me back to hers...again I made some bollocks up about needing to get home. I wanted a shag...but not that much!

Third one is great though. Things are looking good!

What site's are you trying, and how bad is your profile?!
Also, what sort of age range are you, and what sort of age range are you looking for? Certain sites work better for some than others.

Back in the long past days of singledom I used singlefriend.com after a mate met his wife on there and then match.com after getting bored of singlefriend and quitting it all for a while.

It's actually quite a lot of work to write a profile that reads well and provokes interest. Every email you write has to be personally tailored to who your sending it to, and engaging - no simple "Hi I saw your profile, message me back". You have to get the other person to engage and then you start to get your personality across.
Or something like that.
The wife (match.com is where we met) had a not dissimilar experience to you. Most of the men who were looking her up were quite a bit older than her, and she got ignored by a few people, even after they'd instigated the messaging.

On the other hand my experience was looking for a serious relationship so my post is limited to that.

Good luck with it.

I've met some lovely girls from pof, dated one almost a year. Just joined back up since returning from Afghanistan and going on a date with a teacher tomorrow! It's a much better site for guys.

I had a look at POF once. It seemed to be populated by orange manatees living in wallpaper-less "Scrats" (Scrubber's Flats) with an 'ole full of kids.

I'd rather shock off.

pub , club or all night supermarket
I'm told the all night supermarkets are the new way to date
only singles shop at 3 am

Approaching women in their own at 3am in the supermarket is far weirder than Internet dating will ever be.

Hah! I signed up to that POF website just yesterday! A few of my mates had talked about it so I thought fuck it I'll have a look. Two things I can say....

This was Bellaboo's approach to dating, a couple of years back https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=192699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

It's a looooong read...but funny in places...

Actually I have a genuine question about this POF site, if anyone knows...

There's section called 'Meet me', where you can literally just rifle through lots of images of potential women, and there are buttons for 'yes', 'no', and 'maybe'. So I've been sitting here going 'no, no, no, no, no'. And I'll never say yes because I honestly just signed up for the hell of it.

However sometimes I'll see a sort of hot bird and think that I should be nice, so click 'maybe', just to stay true to my opinion that I'd maybe meet them but it's not like saying 'yes'. So... if I've clicked 'maybe', do they see that I've said that? Or is it anonymous? The reason I ask is because I've had two semi-hot girls come up in my list saying they'd like to meet me, so I wonder if they actually clicked the 'maybe' button, or they actually did click yes to me

Well even if they said maybe it at least shows that they didn't think you were a total mong.

However 50,000 other people might have looked and all clicked 'no'
