does grunting and/or foot shuffling count as interaction? do i actually have to make eye contact and talk? that could be a problem!

gah, it's stupid, i know. i can have a laugh and joke with guys, but just saying "hi" to a girl is a massive effort. why oh why oh why oh why oh why

i was like that until i hit 18, and then out of nowhere i got confident. i dunno how or why, it just happened. but online i go all shy and well, creepy :p

do you have any female work colleagues?

I work in IT :P

Actually, we have one very hot girl who works in the office. Actually does 2nd line IT support, same job as me. I've managed to say "hi" a couple times, and that's it :p She could pretty much have any guy she wanted.
 
we could do a single Cornish guys/gals meet and go out for a few laughs, at worst could make some new friends, at best one of us could pull :p
Haha. See the idea of just meeting and pulling a chick is not my kind of chick if that makes sense. Also if I went out with you guys the women would want to know why you brought your son along.

2 girls my age JUST walked into my hotel reception wanting to use the bathroom. I had to turn them away and now they are heading back to the lizard. Trying to think of a way I could have got a date out of that. God damn.

well, build up your confidence with her. she obvs has an interest in IT so that's a start. instead of just saying 'hi' add in a comment like 'hows your day going?' or some comment about something work related (i don't know what your job entails to give any examples :o). once you can have a conversation with her, you are ready to move on to new ladies. and smile, don't forget to smile.

lol yeh, i totally get that. i don't club and never have. those people are just weird :p

but, there are plenty of fun activities that can be done where women also attend. like paintballing, go karting..........and how old do you think we all are :p i aint no old man just yet.
 
I don't think you guys are old! I know I look 18 though lol.

Those activities right now are full of emits and stag do's. No women to be found there. See I'm thinking right now and I really think a big part has to do with location and that we are in a really crappy place. We need nice bars, not clubs and not pubs full of 50 year old cornish women.

I think Truro has a couple of shirt and dress kind of bars. I know as I went in t-shirt and jeans and felt right out of place.

Hey if you are contributing I have no problem. But if you are down here for a cheap Ibiza like holiday then you can just gerrrt owwt.

haha yeh unfortunately cheap is not a word i would use to describe Cornwall at the moment (well other than most of the lasses, they would be described as cheap :p)

went to perranporth the other week with my family and it was full of nice looking women, so they must be around somewhere.
 
106 views on match in under 24 hours, but no messages (I haven't paid so I cant send any, just wanted to if it was worth it). so either my profile is shocking or match women don't message first
 
le sigh. i'll have another go tomorrow.

here's a quick question tho... the pics of me (i can link my FB profile as proof) will show you I'm a bit of a minger. :p In my mind thats going to put off 90% of girls anyhow...

so how exactly do I compensate for bad genetics?

I'm a bit late to the thread but I don't think you're ugly at all (no homo). You have a decent set of hair, height is not too bad, strong jawline and clearly not overweight. If you have a job you're already 80% ahead of all competition.

But my man, confidence. You've GOT to get over yourself and your hangups. The world and life is going to be so much easier for you if you do that.

While your profile sound honest, I can't help but get a feeling that this guy is way too apologetic and confused. But I can also tell that you're a decent guy. Rewrite that profile and talk about YOU, but in a positive, witty and cheeky way.
 
posted loads in pic of your self thread.. :o she's tall! btw i hate being 5.9! i find some nice girls.. i get on with them.. and they are like 5.9-5.10 and you know girls "omg the guy hazz to be taller than me by 5ft" :o

Dude, I'm touching 6'3 and a girl from Match was taking the mick out of me and calling me 'shorty'. We did meet but she had to wear flat shoes to 'give me a fighting chance', all her words by the way. She was 6'1. When she wore her favorite big heels she was just a nick over 6'6. Still see her but just as a friend and occasional NSA buddy when the need is there. I'm saved under 'Short Ass' on her phone.

For girls, Height = Very important.

Very rarely they do. I have had a grand total of 8 women emailing me where about half of those were any decent. I've put in my profile that one liners will be ignored.

You've got to go hunting yourself. Spend an afternoon to email about 10 women and pray that not all 10 email back. :p. It's a numbers game so keep trying. Eggs in one basket is a bad idea, but too many dates it's just as much of a bad idea. Cost a freaking fortune and you'll start to forget to whom you said what. About 3 potentials at a time is all I can/want to handle.

the biggest thing is, I have been on pof off and on, and never got anywhere, so don't want to shell out £30+ for the same results.
