I've been talking to one girl for over 7 years, we have never met though. We rarely talk via the web now , most of it is done through texting. Maybe 300-500 texts a month, going up to 1000 if something dramatic has happened.
With the amount of money I spent on bills/credit I could have got married and divorced a few times.
It's a weird friendship, and one many people wouldn't understand (not sure if I do fully), but it works. Couldn't imagine being without her.

Her username is getalifestalkerboy. Pleease, feel free to look her up and message her.
I'd have to disagree with that i'm afraid... lots of childless single women on there, moreso than mothers from what i've seen. As for getting replies... it's all about the profile mate. Take the tartiest pic you can that shows yer best angle (fewer you have the better, and keep em tasteful), and write something interesting and different. You'll get messages.
The girl i work with is a BIG plentyoffish fan, she even run some singles night for them now and again. Good on you being that open too and i must admit, i am a little conservative of meeting people off the net, keep thinking they are not what they seem. I suppose the thinking can go both ways but it is this "barrier" that stop me meeting people off the net, it takes me a lot of time to trust someone, more when off the net.
But may be I should try the net......and find myself a easter european stunner
I was the same mate... after all it's really not like meeting someone in real-life, it lacks that "natural" feeling, and yeah... you can meet some wrong uns before you meet a good un, but hey... if it works it works. Give it a try, there's tons of women on the site, and as long as you write a decent profile you'll be fine. I started out with some boring old profile that was the same as every other bloke on there and got F-all replies... then changed it to one taking the mick out of online dating and the people on there and now get tons of messages... it's weird.
Did you try that Plentyoffish one?
Yup, that's most of plentyoffish, if I was just after a quick grope I coould have met about 20 fit airheads (mainly cabin crew, I live next to an airport) by now. They don't really do much for me though, been there done that, and where I live you don't need to use internet dating to get those.
Dude that's weird... are you married, and does your wife mind you having this 'friend'? How far away does she live?

one that take the mick out of online dating eh?
I have to second that puzzlement, I thought complaining about things in that way was a turn-off
Not that I need to use such sites, I'm taken.
Yup... exactly that... I just wrote about how I had found the whole online dating scene and its' members so far, and compared it to real-life. And then at the end I took the mick out specific types of men and women that write twoddle in their profile. It does the trick, and I now generally get a few messages a day. I would copy and paste it but i'm a bit embarassed to tbh... it'll probably get ripped by you lot.

I did visit a girl after knowing her for a couple of years. We met purely as friends through a creative writing forum and stayed friends for ages. I started flirting with her after a few months, but it wasn't until I saw her on webcam that I realised there was physical attraction. Before webcam I only saw a very distant picture of her; whilst she'd seen my regular self portraits at the time.
So after a few more months, I went to visit her at a "friendly" capacity with intend to find out whether we wanted it to lead anywhere. Turns out she wanted to meet at a more intimate level and I just went along with it.
After our first disagreement / argument over the net few months later, it was over. Oh well.

Heh... although after what I wrote I was expecting a slew of "TTIUWP" or "Pics or it didn't happen" posts. Congratulaitons on the restraint, gentlemen.
Raymond i'll say it again... make a profile and give it a bash. I was wary about the whole online thing too to start with... but like anything in life, once you try it and get used to it the psychological barriers come down and you just go with the flow. It's amazing how many nice and fit women are on it too.

I wrote one, but it's kinda first draft, did it last night tired at 1am just before bed so it's a lot of gobbleegoop. But it is more interesting than the usual ones i think.
I do however want to put down the line "If you are like Hillary Burton off One Tree Hill, call me !"
p.s. now you remind me, pics please

I have 2 friends that have sh*gged their way through datingdirect AND facebook.
Until last year they lived above each other in flats and even bought a 2-way radio set so that when one has a 'contact' back at his pad the other can listen in via the radio as it is positioned under the bed.
This kind of depravity even coined the phrase 'the malm thrust'. This comes from the fact that they both and indeed myself and another friend all have Malm beds from Ikea and that when giving the good news to a fine lady on the aforementioned bed you can plant your feet on the baseboard for extra thrust!
But, anyway, one of my mates only uses facebook now but he's doinked 4 birds from there so far. To be fair, he isn't just looking to get laid, he's actually really liked a couple of them, they just haven't worked out, usually for reasons like distance (he can't drive) or 'baggage' (he has a son, or the woman has umpteen kids).

Weirdo's.
That's just weird.

May be weird, but they were getting their oats, and i'll tell you, most of whom they entertained were damn fine lookers too. Although they did suffer some women who in real life clearly did NOT look like their profile photo.....suckerssss!!
I met a couple of girls through the internet. One was so unlike her pics it was unbelievable and i ended up crawling out of a Pub toilet window to make a getaway, she wasn't too happy but nor was I due to the fact that she was a size 18 instead of a size 10 and i don't really like a fatty. The other did turn out to be really good looking but we didn't 'click'. The best relationship i had was with someone who i met on a night out. I have been out of the 'game' for a while and i'm enjoying being single but i'm sure that'll wear off soon.
