Can I say LOL at the 'bizarre' plentyoffail profiles people are posting.. do you come across them by chance or actively searching for those type of profiles? :D


secretspy:

50? :eek:

Send a reply to say that hes way out of your age range.. unless you're into men that age.


*****

I deleted my profile from Meetic.. if I ever create a profile on that site again, I'll allow somebody on here to punch me in the stomach. Don't have ovaries I'm afraid :p

Now going to concentrate more on plentyoffail..
 
im definitely not into men that age! im only 24 !!

but i think that was the point of his message. he knew he was out of my age range but he said hes a man who isnt afraid to go after what he wants which is why he ignored the fact hes too old for me!

You don't know what you're missing out on. He's probably fat, hairy and a bit of a grunter. Haha.

I searched locals on PoF for some giggles the other night actually and I was quite amused but also saddened at what I found: fuglies, chubbers, mentals, or sprog-droppers. I know I live in Essex and all, but the amount of girls around my age who had kids on there is quite alarming.

Combine that with the stupid proportion who seem to think that clubbing is the all important quality and their desire to write every damn thing in text-speak, I think that this world is probably a quagmire I'll avoid for now. Looking online isn't going to change what I already know to hold true about the area.

I should probably invest in some bling really; the women this way definitely seem to have the mentality of a magpie.

If its a non starter for reasons such as this, and you arent that fussed, then fair enough, I was posting on the basis you wanted to start something up with this lady. :)
 
She doesn't kiss on first dates... WTF :eek: Never had that before!

Going out again this avo though so wasn't an "excuse"
 
haha, met 2 of my gfs on dating sites, first one was fantastic, family loved her, her family loved me, on paper perfect for marriage etc, but after 9 months i just didn't feel right about it, second one was a bit of a nutbag, fantastic for certain things, but if i even acknowledged the existance of any other females, it resulted in me being ignored for at least 20 minutes, this included her baiting me by asking if i thought Buffy was hot, after telling her i prefered willow, she copped a strop =S granted, it didn't help with me calling her by the previous girlfriend's name >.< (which I hated myself for) but was good fun while it lasted, and we're better off as friends now, even been giving her advice on how not to be a crazy person so it all worked out, but will be staying away from dating sites for a while

Well I do want to meet her a few more times but she's pretty busy with work generally. As she's a director she does long hours. She did suggest I go to a discussion group during the week she attends though (I know some of the other people as well).

Absolutely do not ignore it.

Politely decline his advances but don't ignore it because thats whats wrong with dating sites. I sent what I thought was a witty ice breaker to a woman last week and she hasn't replied and thats pee'd me off.

yea, i'd much rather a "no thanks, i'm looking for something different" than just being ignored
it's disheatening from the first response, but at least you can move on rather than get annoyed thinking messages aren';t getting through, i'm doing something wrong etc

but i generally had quite good luck with my messages :)
 
triggerthat - i dont mind giving my lady opinion on your profile if you like?

Jeff Lynne - I agree. I sent the standard "thanks for your email but i dont we're a good match. Good luck in your search"

I've been using OKCupid and I am slowly giving up..

Could I get some pointers on my profile? If so, let me know and I'll send linky.

I used OkCupid, thought it was pretty good, other one i used went under and disappeared, though on OKC someone stole my photo and made a profile using it :/

but I'll have a look if you want?
 
I think a lot of the problems with dating sites & blokes is because a lot of women are basically shallow, they more intresting in usually what you have to offer in reguards to what you own ie own house, plenty of money, nice car ect.

I did alittle bit of an 1 week experiment on POF.

I did 2 profiles of myself with 2 diffrent pics.

My first profile was basically like this.

33 unemployed, live at home, no car but a very good hearted person that does a lot of charity work & voluntary work within the community ect ect

And my second was

33 Employed in Banking, have big house lot's of money & a nice car basically grab some random pics of the net to boast off my wealth & used them in my profile.

I also made myself out to basically to be a right ***T when it comes from what i want from women & one right vain S.O.B

& posted both profiles on POF.

Now within the hour i had 7 messages from some very nice looking ladies with my im rich & im a b**tard profile totalling about 26 within the week a few were chav birds.

My other profile got 2

1 which im still talking to as i told her it was just an experiment to see what kind of women are on this site, which she agree was a good idea basically oh and she pretty nice looking to :)

Which just goes to prove that most women on them dating sites just after money big houses ect, and basically don't care if your a b**tard or not as long as they get something from it.

i would star out the other swear words if i were you

Quite a good experiment you did there and it's good you got to know a nice woman from it.
i for one am not one of the ladies who would go with someone just for what they have to offer i.e. money, house etc.

all i would like in those areas is for the guy to basically be able to financially look after himself and not try to sponge off me all the time.
