Hate couldn't you just try meet women when your favourite bands are playing nearby?

Possibly, but some of the bands I like are a bit obscure

or I generally go to London to watch bands.

I'm sure there's an "alternative dating website" not that I ever found it, god knows I looked

Yup, there is gothicmatch.com but it's not so good, my friend found a bf on geek2geek.com (or something).

never liked the idea of picking people up in clubs/bars, it'd be fine for random fun, but not if you're looking for something more imo

I'm not talking about picking up. More "here's my card, if you're interested in meeting call me".

Hate - ah i see. as others have said maybe there are other websites more suited to your interests

yep am on match

haha, might work, you'd need to be a suave mother-fluffer to pull that off

otherwise you'd look a touch pretentious, or at least *I* would

I tend to go for the schoolyard playful tactics, metaphorical hair pulling, being cocky and funny, works a charm if you can pull off the right mix, thankfully i'm naturally cheeky

I managed to get my current GF at a friends house party, by exlpaining how to use her sleeping bag "there's a hole in one end, you get in there" ;D

I am now playing to the females more basic instincts and have a piccy of just me with my top off.

LOL

Takes the emphasis off my face anyway

secretspy · 5 Jul 2009 at 15:36

ah see for guys who have their tops off i just think "oh here we go..poser, clearly up himself" lol

I've been fortunate enough to never have to use internet dating but to me, topless pictures = raging homo or silly poser.

haha, can't say I'm a fan of the poser profile

Fuzz · 5 Jul 2009 at 16:01

Nor am I really but it's worth a go, not like it's a permanent picture.

Just sick of attracting all the wrong uns.
If any of the female posters want to vet the rest of my profile I'd be happy to send you the link and listen to any criticism.

how were they wrong uns? would a topless pic not attract more of them?

I'm happy to take a look if you like

yea, that was my worry when doing all that stuff, those pics tend to attract the money grabbing tartlets from my past experience

That's alright then, as I don't have any money

Oh and secretspy, you have a trust email
