Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

Some people don't enjoy the levelling up process and want to get to end-game raids ASAP. These same people tend to struggle to entertain themselves, crave social situations and are scared of ending up alone.
I think what has 'destroyed' my opinions of women is from what I've seen. Most recently the one who has got pregnant so that the bloke would end up spending his life with her because she knows he's too nice a person and most likely couldn't live with the fact his child wasn't there all the time. Takes two to tango but there is a bit more to the story than that.
Obviously not all women are this way but I seem to see plenty more bad than good.

Are you my twin?
Thing is, I'm now the only person in my team at work without kids and I get annoyed at the occasional references to it, as if I'm abnormal.
I also get the usual "you'll change your mind" rubbish as well. I think that article I linked had some very good points tbh and understand completely where she's coming from. Fortunately my friends are cool about it, although the pressure from family has been there in the past. Thankfully I'm not an only child so didn't feel any kind of obligation.
What baffles me even more is people who spend tens of thousands of pounds on IVF when I think that I could fulfil several life ambitions with that sort of money. But horses for courses and all that.

I'm in exactly the same situation and I get all that crap about changing my mind too. One women was having a really good session at trying to convince me the other day and I just snapped and told her to mind her own dam businessThing is, I'm now the only person in my team at work without kids and I get annoyed at the occasional references to it, as if I'm abnormal.
CliffyG am glad things are going well 
In regards to people not wanting kids I think if that's their decision then fair enough. What does annoy me about some people like that though is that they think there's a right and a wrong. It's wrong to want kids and right not to.
With anything it bugs me when someone thinks their opinion should be that of everyone's.
A not so close female friend doesn't want children because "they are disgusting horrible things" and on the subject of people who do want kids she said "anyone who wants or has kids is a complete idiot" ok her opinion is she doesnt want them but I don't think its fair for her to make me feel bad for wanting them.
I do sometimes think "do I want kids?" Particularly when my nephew is being a brat but then I see my other nephews and think "yeah I do" I cant explain why its just a feeling I get. I don't ache to have kids though. I would've liked them before I was 30 as I don't want my kids to miss out on things I did as a child because I'm "too old" but I'm definitely not going to rush into it. I want to have a good few years enjoying life with a partner before kids come into the equation.

I must admit this whole internet deal is pretty demoralising.
I message people asking questions regarding their profile, things like recommendations in Thailand as I am going in January, how they are doing with their OU course as I am starting another in Feb etc..
Never seem to get any replies I have had like 2 people message me in the time I have been on there one I chatted to on the phone for a few days but I don't really think I would have much in common with them, plus I dislike chatting on the phone anyway!
My profile could do with some newer pics but then I don't actually have many anyway and tend to avoid the camera.

I think I've found the dimmest girl on PoF. One of her pics is of her sat in a chair, but she's uploaded it sideways. I messaged her with the following:
"Wow! How did you get that chair to stick to the wall, then stay in it long enough for someone to take a photo of you in it? x"
Her response:
"What? lol The chair is not stuck to the wall? the photo is sideways... Are you being retarded?"
Words fail me.

She sounds a bit close-minded tbh. I love kids in all honesty, I just don't want my own!

Wait until her friend's body clock starts ticking...tick tock, tick tock and looking into a life time of loneliness and she'll turn around
Not even thinking about kids at the moment. Maybe in 5-10 years, yeah.
The hardest part is finding a woman worth having kids with! I certainly have not met any woman (single or not) in my years on this planet, who I think I would be happy to spend the rest of my life with.

Didn't even raise a smile, so I can imagine she thought you were simply a retard. Were you actually interested in her?

ok i've given in and signed up to 3 of these today. match, eharmany and pof. there is a stunner sounds great on match too good to be true in fact. she's 19, a model, got an amazing picture and has everything a great profile. now to contact i need to pay £40! is it common place that fake profiles go up? compared to the other 2 girls i was matched with i just can't see the model being a real profile, almost feel like it's some clever tactic from match to get you to pay and nothing will come of it, or perhaps it'll be a case of yeah lets talk/show more then the one photo but first i need you to pay me £x amount. am i looking into it too much and is this likely to be a real profile? what's a 19 model doing on a dating site?

I reckon the pay sites have to be a rip-off. It's in their interest for you NOT to find someone as that way they continue to generate revenue from you. Wouldn't be surprised if they'd used sneaky tactics like that, and also you don't even know if the person is using the site anymore, even if it's a genuine profile...
I wouldn't pay for a dating service, it is a blatant rip-off
to add to the ' wanting children' dabacle, what is so wrong with wanting children?
used to be a point in my life about 5-6 years ago i never wanted children, not ever, but things changed, now i do,
it's really annoying, trying to find out exactly what women want, someone they can take home? apparently not,
i am honestly totally fed up with women right now tbh, 99% are just miserable two faced........
do i sound bitter lol
yeah i am bitter, fed up of being ignored or passed over.......

chill out and have a fag is my advice
Nothing at all, it's a perfectly natural thing to want. However, it's annoying when people think you're weird, or even worse, show pity for you and assume that you must be unhappy when you don't have/want them!
Are you suggesting he tries a gay dating site instead?chill out and have a fag is my advice
