I had a read through the book and didn't understand anything in there. I studied AS-Level Psychology and read a few 'beginners guides' Psychology books in the past.

Or maybe I'm dumb :o

It certainly isn't light reading. Although believe me it's easier than the previous book of his ! ! !

You have to get your head round the rather Freudian transactional analysis first, for which the wiki is rather good. Then it's easier to understand.

been chatting to a friendly - if somewhat young girl earlier today, seems nice enough, vegetarian though, which is a bit annoying, most things I can cook are meat based, and there's no way I'd give up meat for any woman :p but definitely not getting my hopes up, so we'll see

Don't hold that against her - I used to date a vegan - and she could make some awesome dishes - plus cooking for her was a challenge. She was also quite open-minded and didn't mind making me a bacon butty on a Sunday morning :D

She was a complete lunatic, but that's another story :D

Yea, I'll only have a problem with her being veggie if she'd expect me to not eat meat, I'd be sneaking burgers at any opportunity :p but I'm getting waaaay ahead of myself here.

Recently single, back to PoF :p

Really hate making a profile, I never know what to say without sounding stupid.

Don't try too hard. Write about what you like and what kind of person you're looking for.

Whatever you do DON'T write the following:

I like going out but I also like staying in.
I'm fun but can be serious.
I love to party but also like to sit and watch a DVD on the sofa

Far too many people try to cover all bases. Just be you. Trying to appeal to everyone won't help in the long run :)
 
Well I set it up last night and have had two messages. One off an ok looking girl that I didn't reply to. Another off a slightly below average looking girl which I did reply to. I just don't like ignoring people. I feel rude but then don't want to offend them by saying not interested ha!

My simple rushed job last night was:

About Me
Simple regular guy that doesn't know why he is writing about himself on here as he doesn't know what to say. Could talk about football but since girls tend not to like that I will avoid it. Enjoy spending time with friends. Some of them, not all of them (mike if you can see this that means you).

Easy going with music, tend to be able to listen to anything that doesn't involve someone with a painted face smashing a guitar against his own face whilst screaming and falling around like he's stood on a rake.

Thats the basics I guess.

First Date
Depends on who I'm going out with!
But I suppose first date is all about getting to knowww youuuu, getting to know allll aboutttt youuuu... Eat and drink, walk a bit in areas where one isn't likely to get stabbed then perhaps back to mine and play some croquet in the garden. Spiffing.





I sense it is not a very good profile :p
 
You're not really selling yourself mate. Too many negatives there!

I've toned down your fun loving character as you come over a bit too happy :p

About me

I'm a regular guy who loves football and spending time with friends. My ideal date would also like football and as I know there are some football crazy girls out there I have high hopes :) Anyone not into football can also apply, it's never to late :)

I like most types of music although I'm not a fan of anything that involves screaming down the microphone.

First date

First dates are all about communication so going somewhere quiet and cosy would be ideal. A walk in the park would be nice.

Well my profile can't be THAT bad. Since making it at 1am I've had messages off 5 girls. 2 that I definitely would. 2 that I would at a push. The other... no :p

/EDIT - Make that 6. But a second definite no.

Slow going then. I signed up again yesterday afternoon and have had 31 emails :p

Many are none events but there's a good handful of potential victims lol.
 
31 new people or 31 emails exchanged? Fair going! Brad Pitt as your profile pic? :p

I'm happy with the amount so far anyway even if you wouldn't be! Easily pleased...
 
Hinchy - I lol'd at your profile but as mac said, it doesnt really say much about you. Orange Peel's edit was good but needs a few funny things in there to make a girl giggle i think :p

As for having Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp as a profile pic, that wouldnt attract me at all lol. Now if you had George Eads that would be a completely different story :D

One day on MSF and no messages :( :p ah well lol

what i hate about PoF is that people can see if you've read their message or not... some guy messaged me 3 times and i ignored him 3 times, he then sends a message saying 'don't want to talk to me then?'. so i thought ok, i'll be polite and reply to say hes not my type.. he then replied and goes 'it's cos i'm black right?' :rolleyes:

I had that comment from a guy in a chat room once when i was much younger...it might have made sense but he was caucasian? :confused:

Another guy (again in a chat room ) said the same and I hadn't even seen a picture of him :confused:

MSF emailed saying someone had added me to their favourites, had a peak and it's actually a guy I spotted the other day when I was registering my friend :D i've added him to my favourites but he hasn't messaged :( I haven't either but at the moment I can't unless I pay :p
