The chance would have been a fine thing!
An update for me:
meetic/datingdirect:
Put up a photo after registering for ages to see if the 10x responses they wrote holds true.
Changed my description again, and messaged a few people. Profile views only and no replies.
Plentyofepicfail:
Signed up a few weeks ago after people mentioning it here, uploaded a photo and wrote a description.
Had views but no messages.
Messaged a girl of East Asian origin recently and her reply:
Why didn't she write her preferences in her profile description FFS?
I'm gonna give up on those two sites soon and see what luck I have on Yahoo! Personals Hong Kong by paying for a sub..

Woof Woof.
Programming language jewellery?
This must be photoshopped?
Ok little update ..
Sadly due to time constraints I haven't had much time to really plow on with my project as I wanted to. The irony was I setting this thing up to save time. Never enough time it seems
Anyway .. of the original 34 mails I sent out en mass
D) I got replies from 12. ~35% reply rate. Nice, one might think. Err, well not really. At present I haven't nailed down a face to face meet with any of these yet.
I've been blown out once and that was to the only woman I've actually pushed for a meet. She claimed the location was unacceptable. Might be true, might not be, but I've already made the call that this venue is the only one *I'm* prepared to meet at. (Its a pool hall. I can't be arsed sitting on my backside talking to someone. I gotta be doing something like an activity. Otherwise its like a sodding interview, LAME. Plus girls are crap at pool and I like to win
)
Of these 12 women basically 3 or 4 I reckon the conversation is still 'continuing' (i.e. eventually I will push for a meet at the venue pre-determined) and the rest have basically drifted away, not replied or I've cut off contact. Some of these women just want to TALK TALK TALK .. Talk about their boring lives, the tough days they've had .. Listen love, I've come here to meet people to have a good time, not hear your sob sob violin stories about your job. One of them, who I chatted to on MSN for a total of 45 minutes (Yep, sticking to my guns) just went on about her ex boyfriend, get this, the one thing she misses about being in a relationship is the wonderful House she had. Nothing about actually spending quality time with a man LOL .. Anyway I managed to divert the conversation to something much more interesting and found out a little bit more about her, but she was tough work. I've had deeper conversations with brick walls.
I think in the next batch of emails I'm going to send out (Which I will do) I will make it quite clear that the intention is to ultimately meet people face to face. Hopefully that will cut down on the reply rate but at the same time set some kind of expectation.
Also interestingly I have had some emails from women. I got an email from one claiming to be a Spanish model. I asked her what kind of model she was, a hand model for Argos or something? Dont think that went down well. She was iffy because her located said Hampshire and to be honest I just didn't believe she was genuine. Anyway she said she was in Camden and that because she had 2 cars (Nice one, I love subtlety) it wouldn't be a problem meeting up. She bottled it and never replied after 2 emails. That was probably down to the fact that I said she might have a Chauffeur to take her to meet me given she had 2 cars
In the past day I've had a drama student email me telling me what an arrogant cocky arse I am after she read my profile. It was all in good fun her email was absolutely laced with sarcasm. I laughed, actually. I sent her an email back complementing her on her dopey looking photos and pointed out her lack of paid employment, as one does with every student. We'll see how it goes. I figure that I'm much more likely to get a woman to agree to meet me if they actually initiate contact with me.
Onwards and upwards!

lmao
aww don't be mean. It looks like she has a growth condition or something.
anyhoo mini update from me...
seems to have gone quiet on datingdirect just the one guy who seems to still be emailing. although he seems to be visiting my profile and winking at me every day..little stalker ish!
Ive been getting to know the guy i met in the pub though and things are going well so far.
Last night he was in the pub with friends and so was I but he came over to see me and then later on walked me home where i got a cuddle and a kiss
we are meeting tonight to go for a meal and then bowling - can't wait
Why not just take yourself off there for the time being seeing as your seeing someone offline etc??. I mean if its getting to the point where it becoming stalker-ish.
Personally ive left online dating...far too many mingers and idiots that keep emailing me
...ive gone into the real world where im meeting plenty of nice looking women..got a few dates lined up this weekend and next weekend...theres one little hot blonde whos pretty keen so im looking forward to seeing her tonight...thankfully shes got a tasty body...from the pics shes sent me and is a nice genuine person with a lovely personality....god i just hope she doesnt turn out to be some nutter like my ex was.He's not constantly emailing like another guy was I just think its weird how he keeps winking lol
I was waiting to see how things went with the guy I met in the pub first i.e. see if he's actually my type and after last night it seems he is so I am going to take myself off datingdirect shortly
Maybe is winking button is stuck
Well good luck with it secretspy, hope it works out for u
I met my girlfriend off online.
6 years later, we're still together.... not sure whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing though
My experience of internet dating
Meet girl take girl out a few times, get to know girl
Girl wants relationship so do i we agree
have sex with girl
girl ends relationship saying " i wasnt ready for one" whilst at the same time removing me from facebook and uploading a new profile picture of her kissing another bloke
leaves me sitting here wondering if I should pick up another job to keep myself busy!
bloody hell its been a busy 2 weeks.
