FFS.

I have been on POF for a week now (first dating site I have ever used) been on x1 date which was ok but nothing came of it.

Onwards to Thursday, a nice girl messages me, exchanging messages for ages, exchange numbers, but she is hesitant about meeting up. She looks cute, blonde hair blue eyes.

Anyway manage to do a bit of FB stalking and realise shes really big, I dont mind a few extra lbs but this isnt my cup of tea. I get the impression she is trying to reel me with personality in before dropping the bombshell..

Why do women do this??????? Posting 8 year old pictures or just headshots and not divulging their build.

I know I sound really shallow but with the 38 year olds trying to be 28 its starting to hack me off!!!!!

What do I do guys, how do I knock it on the head when I have given out my number?

Good news is im currently talking to another girl now who seems lovely so we shall see, and I have another one who I am meeting on Monday. Ill let you know what horrors await.

Well, the adult way of dealing with it is to tell her it isn't going any further and to wish her luck in her search.

What most people seem to do is just stop replying.
 
This article is an interesting read, I should have read it before I started this!

• While online daters rate their photos as relatively accurate, independent judges rate approximately 1/3 of the photographs as not accurate.[1]

• Female photographs are judged as less accurate than male photographs, and are more likely to be older, to be retouched or taken by a professional photographer.[1]

• Men lie more about their height, and women lie more about their weight, with people farther from the average lying more.[2]

• In a survey of online dating users, over 80% of participants registered concerns that others misrepresent themselves.[2]

Well finally got a couple of replys on okcupid, once i asked for if she uses kik as it might be easier, bam no reply. lol oh well.

I haven't used kik but a woman I know told me that's a big no no because it's full of married people because you don't have to give your number out so she won't talk to anyone on that.
 
If I was internet dating, I would follow these rules about photos:

1. Photo must be taken showing full body.

2. Photo must be date stamped with a recent date (no more than 6 months old).

3. Photo must not contain the Adobe Watermark.

This way you easily spot the fatties and ignore them:D
 
Been talking to someone very briefly on pof as I've been away from home the past few days. 3rd message from her and she's given me her mobile number. Good sign or is she too keen?

Who's going to bum who?

YOU DECIDE.

Find out next week on OcUK's Internet Dating.
 
apparently im really good looking......is she blind?!

anyways, things with the girl i met last week seem to be going really good. met her last night and spent the night at hers, shes really easy to talk to which i like :)

but things SEEM to be going well (in my experience, there's always something going on in the background and it goes belly up)

Dont know if a full blown relationship is on the cards, just going to live in the moment, enjoy it and take one thing at a time. Im going away on holiday next weekend for 2 weeks so wont be seeing her till im back (que her meeting someone better while im on holiday)
 
I met my missus via Tiscali's main chat room about 12-ish years ago, we were both ops in #lobby and #lobby2 by the time we had moved in together :D I was peter27 back then lol
If your only dating for fun then NEVER tell them you love them, they'll start digging the claws into you, be warned.
Oh and 2 women are stressful, 3 are a nightmare. One is best.
