Has anyone used OkCupid? I just signed up the other day and it seems to be superior to match and pof! There is a lot more choice of girls in my area too.

Yes, I use it more often than POF. Less women, but higher quality and more effort put into their profiles. The site as a whole is much, much nicer too.

Yes, I had 3 dates in a week before. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. It shouldn't stress you out, they are probably dating other guys too. You really don't need to narrow it down unless there's one girl you feel particularly comfortable with after a few dates. Go on as many dates as possible, after all if you were buying a car you'd test ride a few before committing wouldn't you? ;)

thanks man. well i'm back from date no.1. it went ok, she was lovely looking but not much banter from her. not sure if i'll see her again. we weren't drinking or anything , just one each. we did chat away for a couple of hours though.


to be honest i like the look of the one i'm seeing on sunday more. i spoke to them both to arrange dates and sunday girl (lol) seemed nicer but i thought i'll see them both just in case
anyway, they are both from the same city, and as small as the chance was i would have been gutted if the other girl seen us. i don't think she has so phew!
 
Is there any limit to how many times these profiles can be changed.
Im not saying its wrong but if you want to put some effort into it then why dont you make up 7 profiles from different perspectives and list them sequentially and repeatedly, Im sure you have varied moods right

If this is fishing, more then one line of bait would likely yield better results :p

Is my profile really that bad? Lots of messages sent out and still nothing back.

I'll take it on the chin so be honest, how could I improve it?

To be honest, I thought your profile was pretty good. I like the photos.

I'm surprised you're not getting replies, can you post some examples of messages sent?

I didn't really notice any red flags in your profile. I might be tempted to delete:

It was a 6 day climb, up to 5895m, little geography fact for you there.

I'd get rid of the 'little geography fact for you there', sounds a little bit off. Maybe 'and I'd love to do it all over again with a partner' or something. Wait for a second opinion though, I might just be nitpicking.

Which I took to mean good or even excellent, not mean that I was stingy on the meat!

I think this is redundant and a teensy bit arrogant. Again, wait for another opinion.
 
:D I have been talking to a girl for a couple of weeks and she is amazing! I have been really ill all week so I haven't met her yet but she is really keen.

I was apprehensive at first because she is like ridiculously hot but we are getting on like a house on fire.

Going to organise a date as soon as I am well (ps, I get a lot of hits on pof.. and chat to a fair few so i am not just excited because i finally got chatting to a girl).

she has what seems a size 10 waist and size G boobies :D and is mega fit. I best get down the gym!!


wish me luck :)!!
 
Picture 4 is the most masculine, i'd use that as my profile picture. I thought the one with the guy was a girl, sorry!

Text reads ok and doesnt seem bad, although the last.fm thing seems a bit :confused:
 
I had picture 4 as my picture and was told to change it to the current one! I'll change it back, I'll re-word the last. Fm bit, I just didn't want to just list a couple of bands I was currently into and my last.fm page is a much better representation of what I listen to without going into a massive list

Much appreciated

Ive been for a few drinks with a girl, very pretty, great to have a laugh with....

Ive thrown her in at the deep end, asked her to a charity black tie dinner.
Shes said she thinks she is free will let me know, and asked why i picked her to go with...

came back with the answer that its a good night etc and that I owed her a drink. Hoping she says yes...It genuinely is a great night and think it would be better if she was there :D

NO PRESSURE

Got shot down, Oh well, asked my backup and shes delighted, so should be a good night :) Got to go find me a tux....
 
thats a shame, always good to have a backup haha

Got a date with the girl I've been talking to, we are getting on really well talking online and the phone, let just hope that we click in person :) as she is hot hot hot!!!!!!!!!!! and 5 years my junior haha.
 
I've now discovered to never give somebody your facebook until after you've met them.

After giving her my facebook, she told me she'd been chatting to a mutual friend - so didnt want to go any further.

Rage!
 
I think OKC is much better, both in terms of website interface and girl quality.

All it lacks is saturation.
 
yup, girls can see generic messages a mile off and will not respond!

My female friends on there look at picture, height, job in that order and if thats ok then they will read your profile. if not then no chance.

fickle creatures.
