Probably a little belated now, but how did it go with the forum fellow (or how is it going if you're still dating)?
I was kind of getting my hopes up for another OcUK relationship!!

/If I get no replies to this, I guess you don't want to talk about it ;)

We are still getting to know each other at the moment lol :p

It's been difficult to see much of each other as his job mean's he's away on business a lot.

So far so good though :) (well imo don't know 100% how he feels things are lol but I think he's thinking the same way!!)
 
Hmm, I have recently started to get a few messages through.

Shame they are all not my type, and one even looks like she might be a stripper with a kid! lol WTF ever next!?
 
Very smart, very pretty Asian girl on one of these sites that is into gaming, I have to say signing up to message this one person is tempting as ****!
 
omg.

just found a cute-blonde, originally from the NE, just moved to manc, and works as "network support". that's like win x4.

perhaps i should take this web dating thing more seriously. :/
 
Anyone fancy critiquing my profile? It's all gone rather stale, though I never really got many messages anyway -_-. I'll probably take any advice here, delete this one and start a new one, with some fresh pictures too. These ones are getting a bit old.

I'd take out the swear words for a start, not only because of OC rules but women don't like foul mouths. :D
Not sure going on about being a pirate looks cool or funny either, but I am a boring old fart so who knows. :D
 
Oops. Forgot about the swearing. As for the pirate thing, I was told to try and be a bit witty/interesting/funny. Possibly doesn't work very well then. I did get one message about it though, from someone in another country >_<

I would leave: "I am easy going, a bit geeky, and possibly a pirate" as frankly it made my smile. I would lose the explanation "I like to think that I am a pirate and would love to tell you I spend my time robbing from ships in the oceans but I dont." IMHO, you crossed the line from funny to weird with that :D.
 
It's funny in a quirky/goofy way, which while quaint, isn't going to have women flocking your way. It all depends on what type of woman you're looking to attract, with this profile, you're most likely to find shy nerd girls, but they'll a) not likely be metching your preferences and b) not going to be making the first move to contact

It's not a bad profile, but as I said, think about the kind of woman you're looking for, and gear towards them :)

also, the main profile pic reminds me of the dramatic chipmunk thing :p
