Why

It was a general assumption on my part. Doesn't mean it is right or wrong.

IME it's an expensive version of PoF.

I've had more success on OkCupid than I have on Match so far.

In My Experience.

If you don't mind filtering out all the mingers, baby factories and women who look like they could knock a wall down with their bare hands, PoF will be fine and it's free.

I found my missus on a networking site 5+ years ago, she had a fella at the time but was looking to end it anyway. we started going out, been together just over 5 years, got our own place and got engaged at xmas.

I think internet dating is great for people who dont really have the confidence to make the initial contact in person.

Noway are you ugly for a FACT and I'm not saying that just to be nice, if you pair a confident out going personalty with your looks you should be doing fine, I hope you find someone.

I was on Match years ago before I met my current girlfriend and was usually approached like this .

Hye,i lyke uru prfille do Uoy lyke may prfille !!!!!!!!! iff U lyke may prfollie thhin ryte Mee. TY!!???

Half the time I really, genuinely couldn't make out wtf people were saying. I'd imagine it's slightly better nowadays as it's not OK any more to talk like an idiot on line.

Those type of messages are usually followed by "Want to Swap Pics??. My email ****@yahoo.com" etc...

I've been on POF for a while with not much success so I thought I'd ask for some "constructive criticism"...here goes nothing: http://www.plentyoffish.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=17663059

Thoughts, comments?

Thanks for the responses guys.

Because many girls will think a guy who drinks cocktails is a bit gay/feminine. The last girl I went out with was slagging her previous date for ordering a woo woo.

I'm not saying guys shouldn't drink cocktails by the way, it's just first impressions and all that.

He does look abit camp though, maybe spends 5 hours getting ready for a night out

bit too full on about the acheivements, seen a few like that can be abit offputting for tracey the hairdressers assistant etc.

I've not met any woman who would write a guy off for drinking cocktails, filtering out bints who would is in his best interest imo.
