I know what you mean about the chatting on messenger thing

I quite like email, it gives you time to write out a well-thought reply. In a similar vein, I think penfriends are becoming a thing of the past which is quite sad really.
I find I get a bit bored with MSN conversations sometimes, they can fizzle down to single word replies on occasion, and they are more suited to casual chatter IMO.
When people have MSN open, they are usually doing other stuff like browsing/chatting to other people/playing minesweeper/watching pr0n so it's unlikely that you'll get the same considered replies as you'd get via email.
I actually have no idea what you're trying to get at.
So what if the last two pages have been discussing this? I am airing my opinion which I am entitled to and defending why people shouldn't need to reply.
I'm not sure what I skipped, why it matters and why you think it's all "me me me". Your reply seriously lacks any context and if anything, is close to non sequitar.
Maybe you can clear up the hostility you seem to be aiming towards me, hopefully this is just all a misunderstanding?
It would be courteous not to assume I don't, you do not know me personally so don't know how overly nice I can be in fact.
I just don't think I need to do this on an online dating site, there are no unwritten rules or etiquettes to follow so to speak, I've had my lifes fare share of mistreatment so simple ignorance of not replying to someones message is really insignificant.
I also shouldn't need to explain, but will, that the last few times I replied was met with further attempts at keeping in contact with me, which I did not want, it also came to be that some people disliked I didn't want to persue anything with them and engaged with argumentative behaviour, from that day on I decided replying was utterly pointless and saves them time, as people have to me.
You also have no idea how many people that have contacted me are people that have dated my friends, Jersey is an incredibly small place and two people absolutely are morons of the humans species who did not deserve a reply.
There's a thing we say here along the line of, anyone you meet will know someone you know.

I said what I wanted to say previously.
Courteous after the replies you made just reak of irony.
You were a bit aggressive so why shouldn't you expect a snarky reply?
Lovely couple PianoBasher, which one is you?

Sorry, couldn't resist getting in the "are you local?" reference!
Hither.
I would also like to quote this bit:
Why, ambassador, with this oh-so-date-able default presumption of people randomly inventing things to start arguments you are spoiling us.

I wouldn't say you were ugly, I'd have thought you'd do quite well with the ladies given the pics (apart from the colourful shorts one lol)
As for profile I'd expand on it a bit, seems a bit brief and not much effort. talk more about the types of food/films you like. Do you do any other activities, things you enjoy doing, sports etc, fave holiday destinations. Drop the emo reference, best to avoid negativity. You don't say anything about the kind of person you are either, from your pics it looks like you enjoy friends and a friendly person, something to talk about there.
And your looking for is set to 'Hang Out', from a female view they're normally looking for dating I imagine.

Yeah, you aren't a bad looking chap at all, though it wouldn't surprise me (going on some of the picky femmes I know) if your height came in to play
Yeah I thought that too but there's not a great deal I could do about that - Unless platfroms came back into fashion
And i've updated it now to add a bit more about me, I think that it's readable and says a lot about me but we shall see

In addition to what the other guys have said I'd put the the football reference further down the list. The amount of women who love the fact I'm not into football is crazy!
and remove the bit about spending most of your time of facebook.

Taken into consideration and updated accordingly
Lets see what happens? Probably nothing ha ha ha!Taken into consideration and updated accordingly
If you don't mind me being a little more critical I'd ditch all but pics 2,6 and 7.
1 Doesn't do you any favours with all your tall mates.
3 Could be taken the wrong way (you both look very happy
)4 Not sure what's going on there
5 If someone else had taken the photo it would be cool but self-taken-phone-pics aren't great IMHO
I'd also mention more about who you're looking for.
I may not be great at chatting women up but creating half decent profiles seems to be something I'm good at. I managed to get a 5'3 ginger work mate hooked up with a woman he's now marrying!

ha ha ha I suppose you are right with picture 1 but the guy to the right is 6 foot 9 and the guy on the left 6 foot 5 so I suppose it doesnt do anyone any favours?
I've just deleted number 4 as it is pretty random!
Ill have to think on what i'm looking for because I dont really know, the last date I went on was with this girl who was nice and everything but she was very forward and I couldnt be bothered with that?
