Same.

Hell I've been left waiting a pub with some cheap follows too, twice.

I got offered a months free subscription to "Be Naughty" courtesy of a friend, and figured I'd give it a go.... The site is plagued with problems that their woeful customer service has no idea how to resolve, missing messages etc etc

I gave up after about 10 days, apparently the 3 different women I was messaging (one of whom I've met) where all scammers and as such their accounts where blocked from sending messages!

My ****!!!

Anyway what site do you guys recommend?

*****!? I have me a date. \o/ I hope she's not fat, I've only seen pictures of her head.

Either she is very fat, or has a stunning body and is sick of getting messages about it all the time. I know which I think is more likely though.

Dude come on... if you are ginger therefore subject to much pickier women, then you should hardly be "forgetting" to mail any gorgeous girl back. No excuse really!

Read the thread a little, or do a search for "site" or "recommend". Plenty of info in here without needing to repeat it all.

My advise then is meet up for a drink first that way if you don't like her you finish the date quickly or if you fancy her ask her if she wants to go for meal.

So when would you expect someone to take their profile down/stop checking it?

I like curves ie size 14-16 not morbidly obese.

Curves, god I hate that term, almost as much as 'bubbly'. Well you should feel like a kid in a sweet shop then as most women nowadays prefer 'curves' and hitting McDonalds rather than the gym.

I don't like super skinny, but athletic... what happened to women who keep fit and do a few stomach crunches once in a while?

/rant over (probably)

It's all down to personal taste. For me I'm not atracted to women who are skinny or obese its the extremes that put me off. I also can't understand why fat girls often wear tight fitting clothes? Don't they know they look like sausage that's about to burst open? As for akinny girls my gut turns when you see one in a short skirt with boney legs.

I just been accepted for http://www.darwindating.com but I had a look and it doesn't seem too busy. The people on....some of them don't even look legit more like models of some sort.

Exclusion sites like that prey on other peoples arrogance and vanity. It's not going to be busy, because no-one normal will be on it, and the rest of the numbers they will fill with fake profiles as a dangling carrot.

That's cool I didn't pay for it I saw it on page 2 of this thread so thought 'I shall see if I get accepted'

No worries I wasn't directing my comment at you personally, that's just how the sites works (and why imo they are doomed to fail).

If I wanted to go to bed with a bone I'd just go the butchers and buy one - there is nothing wrong in my book with something to keep you warm at night. I do prefer shall we say my women to be a bit more cuddly, but not to the point you need a hoist to get them out the bed - size 14 - 18 is fine with me.

That said my Mrs does want to loose some weight, and given the way she has been talking yesterday I can understand why, it's down to me to make the final verdict - she's bot fussed either way - has said if I wanted to she could be persuaded to change her mind about having kids.

A size 18 is more than a bit cuddly

Size 6-10 is my ideal range... anything else is too chubby for me. But i'm a slim guy so I just don't think anything bigger would suit or fit with me.

So... you say she wants to lose weight... it's down to you to make the final verdict... but she's not fussed either way? :confused:

Size 18 is what could objectively be described as medically overweight. End of. This is size 18:

From left to right:

16-16-18

No, no, no... but that's just my personal preference.

This I agree with, easily to pick out the fat women when then use terms such as "curves" or "bubbly" and have a photo taken of their face only from an angle.

Or if they have their body type as "Undisclosed". That said, even a high amount of girls who put down average are far above average.

I'd like a women around the 6-10 size, because I've only got a small build myself. I've been with girls bigger than that, and it just not what I'd look for anymore.

Q4T, as a very medium guy (32" waist, 5'11"), and after being in relationships with size 6 through to 14, I have determined that my ideal is 8-10, with 12 being a push if they are tall.

Ended up with an 5'4" 8 from POF

True, 8 - 10 is my ideal too. I would say 12 is a push for most but my best friend is a size 12 but thats because she has wide hips and always referred to as the "skinny blonde one" if none of my mates remember her name.
