OMG! Shocking. Digital photography can make women look better.
Beware the dreaded Booze Glasses as waking up having slept with something a bit grim is worse that meeting one. You can't undo the horror!
You do get six months free with match.com, I've used the first six months paid, the other two were freebie. TBH, not that inclined to continue, as pointed out by another poster - I'm not in the best frame of mind at the moment to be searching. Bit jaded, so I was planning to leave it a month then I might just try speed dating for a night out...
Wonder if I can talk a mate into joining - just so as I don't turn up on my own....
My post was a bit, erm well, it was a rant. The answers provided have been good, some of them have very been supportive. Thank you.
The link posted to myspace camera tricky are shocking, but I've seen it first hand. Quite shocking, sounds shallow, bit if I'd seen her IRL then I'd have not asked for a date, and I didn't find BBW attractive..
Same as some woman might not like 6ft 4, slightly underweight dark blond men?? Its down to choice, what one finds attractive another doesn't.

Ive been single for a year now, and before Christmas I was feeling ready for another relationship, so I joined an online dating site.
So far ive been
*stood up by one bloke
*harassed by a weirdo
*creeped out by a few others
*been out on 2 dates with one bloke, and I thought things were going well, but now hes not replied to my last txt I sent on Friday, and ive had no other contact.
Its easy to say stop trying but im 29 this year, and all my friends are settled down, so I cant "get out there and find someone" so easily because although I love my friends to bits, theyre not interested in that sort of night out.
Im at a loss as to what to do really, chatting to blokes on the site I was on made me realise that I kind of miss having someone around to chat to when ive had a crap day, or to do things with, or have a cuddle (or a regular supply of "hows yer father")
Ah well, sorry for whinging.

Well, I share your pain. You're not really whinging as such, just echoing the same as me really....
I agree though, all my friends have now settled down, or are just starting to settle down. I don't think I've got any single friends, certainly none that I can think would help introduce me to a friend of a friend etc....
As for the 'Matrix' piccy.....
awesome. Like it.... lol

I can't help but laugh at the going outside thing, you're living in the 21st century and you have the mentality and attitude of old dogs.
I met someone online, although the original idea wasn't to date it was talking to each other etc, it just changed after a year.
But at least you get to know peoples interests and such before you go into anything, ofcourse it may not all be true, i'm not that stupid.
I'd hope if I got into anything again this other person would have the same interests and is also able to keep themselves busy, which my previous did not at all.
I stopped doing all the things I liked and it was destroying me inside out. Never again.
Although im pretty busy these days, if it's not working it's shooting (competition) if it's not that it's the gym, if not that it's relaxation and in a few months i'll be flying too...
How to fit a women into that, she'd leave me because I won't have much time, would more like a f'buddy than something serious tbh ;P

Shame, you always seem like a nice person on the forums. Not that thats always a great indication of what people are like in real life but still.Ive been single for a year now, and before Christmas I was feeling ready for another relationship, so I joined an online dating site.

It's weird, at that age I'd say the majority of single people are lonely. And yet most are too afraid to take a leap and try finding someone. Ok you're looking, but so is everyone else, yet everyone's afraid to commit..

lol, I got my gf into wow to avoid this very problem and yes we still have sex
Online dating is a funny old game - i did it for a few years and had a right laugh, and im great friends with loads of the girls i met, and hooked up with.
... On the other hand, you get bunny boilers on there, and just as much as we are afraid of them, they are also equally worried we could be them as well. You talk about a lot of 'rejections' which suggests your actually trying to move in on these women and scaring them off - quite rightly so!
... Ask yourself what are you doing to make women have to tell you quite outright that they arent interested? Maybe you are trying your hardest to basically jump straight out of being single, into being with someone ... Anyone? If thats the case then you shouldnt be dating anyone ... for now!!
It took me a good 18 months to realise all this!.... then another 18 months living it up once i knew how not to scare women off, and instead have them chasing me!

Actually, reading what you’ve posted is not only just an eye opener, it’s a bloody realisation. I do know I’ve tried ‘to hard’, and I know this has whiffed of a bit of the old desperation. I didn’t know it at the time, if I did, I would have taken measures to stomp it out. However, when I pick myself up and look to enter the dating scene again, I shall be mindful to NOT make the same mistakes.
My first post, as bitter and jaded as it was, nothing like just bashing it out in the open. Nothing worse then just bottling it up, and then not realising I’d gone about it all wrong, and make the same mistakes again.
As much as I hate to admit this, I’m perhaps just as much to blame for failure with this as anyone that I spoke to or had dates with. Now, the ones who blatantly lied in their profiles, out of my control and the weirdo’s etc - well, you will get um. But I do feel that on a couple of occasions I missed a golden opportunity due to the very reasons stated…

My experience in life my young Padawan is that Love tends to sneak up on you when you least expect it. Well that is what has happened to me.
Like people have said (and I think you have realised) is if you try to hard it doesn't happen. Funnily enough the same applies when you get to the sex part of dating. Trying to hard there doesn't work either...

passionate PUSSY whatever time you get home!!!!
LOL
Stick with it - I met my wife online - after a pretty messy divorce (first time around) it was difficult to meet girls - now happy as Larry - although all the dates I had (loads) were very very scary - www.allwormenarenuts.com - they are all mad - no question.
There is a bum for every seat!
