Well, I hate it, but I am a little bit shallow. I'm also a little vain and think I'm a bit above average looking, so with the combination of the 2, I couldn't see myself going out with a large girl, although I do get annoyed by the smallest things aswell, so even if I tried, it would just constantly haggle me at the back of my mind.

I'm also wary because as I've been browsing the dating sites over the last week, I've see many, many girls who I think look fit on their profile pic, but then realise its just a dodgy angle :( But I guess there's only 1 way to find out if shes attractive or not! :D
 
It's a sad time when the fatties know how to take the pictures just right so you don't realise until they meet you for their free meal.
 
may i ask why you people seem to use such services? have you had bad experiences in past? lack confidence etc???

im sure love will eventually fall your way via the fate train.

or am i wrong?
 
I met my current gf online but it wasn't through a dating site or anything. We talked for about 4 months before we met. Its going really well thus far we been together about a month now and it feels like we have known each other for ages.

I am normally quite rubbish around woman but there's been no awkwardness which is rare for me.

I think what helped us though was we was both honest with each other and we was our self's so when we met it was just like carrying on from online but just way better.

It's not like it's used instead of the "normal" ways of meeting people. (whatever normal is) its used in addition to the those ways, thereby increasing the likelihood of finding a match.

It's not like you go down the pub/club with a sign on you saying "single and looking" either.

Personally I use it because not many women actually cross my path in the work and social situations I partake in. I also hardly drink, so rarely ever go to pubs or clubs in the evening.

It's odd how people still view internet dating so sceptically, as if it's the last refuge of the damned.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of 'normal' people on there just using it as a different way to meet people besides on a night out or through friends; the fact it happens to be based on an internet website has no relevence.

I had about 12 dates I think until I met the girl I'm with now, all of them were perfectly normal, really nice girls, they just didn't feel like 'the one' so I kept looking. Granted, there are some odd ones there too, but take a look around you next time you walk down the street or into a nightclub and you'll see plenty more...

You're wrong :p
I'm a totally normal guy, above average socially, loads of different groups of mates, always going out clubbing and bars 3-4 times weekly. I also tend to pull most nights I'm out, by that, I mean getting with them in the club and getting number etc. getting them to come home with you is a whole different story :p

Like what Fuzz said, its just something on top of normal life, a bit of extra fun. I'm not looking for love, I'm a 2nd year student, I've decided I don't want a serious relationship for at least 2-3 more years, so it just gets me out meeting even more people, and its a bit more straightforward than trying to pull in clubs. I always find the girls in clubs are way too stuck up, due to so many men trying it on with them, so it just annoys me, but its all a game, so grab the dice and see what happens! :)
 
Well been chatting to a girl on there after sending out probbably 10 ish messages to girls based purely on if i liked the look of them or not, plenty of them got read, one or two read and deleted.

Exchanged 3 or 4 messages and just asked her if she wants to meet up
 
Haha don't worry, this teacher I'm seeing at the moment only had two pics up and also said she doesn't have FB..
She's SMOKING :D

On the other hand the last one I dated a couple of times I had to let down gently (second date to tell her I wasn't that interested but we could still be good friends) Nice girl and all but laaaarge. It's no bother, why worry about if she's a fatty or not. If she's really nice you may be converted. ;)
If not you can just say thanks but no thanks...
On the other other hand, she WILL have a hot friend! They always do when they go out. :D You could steam in there instead. :D

Well, after a bit of looking around on the girls profile, it says that shes 41kg, so if this information is not a lie, then she's not a fatty! :D

I just really struggle to make small talk via texts to someone I've never met before :/ Its annoying aswell because I want to arrange a meeting, but I'm not back in Portsmouth until Sunday, so hard to know when I'll be free!

Not a fatty?! It means she's about 6 stone! She must be tiny!

Haha, apparently 6ft aswell! Although in her profile, from what I can see, she has fairly big.......eyes, so musn't (is this a word?) be that skinny! Either that or I'm going to be in for a surprise when I meet "her" :eek:

If she's 6 foot and 41kg then she's unhealthy skinny. Like... beyond anorexic. Something's not right there!

Well there's only 1 way to find out! ;)

Maybe she meant 41kg per...eye

We can all but hope that this is the case :p

Maybe she mistyped and meant 190lbs instead of 90lbs :p (I still have my fears of fatties!)

Edit- Also on POF, I'm in conversation with a girl, who from the pictures looks fairly attractive, and shes told me what I want to hear, she was brought up in a family of guys so has a level 1 and 2 in mechanics! She also seems to be making the conversation, which never happens with these girls on these sites :D
