Never fancy anyone on online dating.

[Pinkbonbon]

Anyone else?

I've noticed the men on it tend to be either big muscly sorts - hunky but just not my type, too 'extra', you know. And doubt they'd be interested in me either.

Or they are scruffy AF. Tbf I don't like beards and everyone seems to have those these days but... even apart from that.

Or they are weirdos who take photos of themselves wearing sunglasses and not even facing the camera (oh gee, I wonder why xD)

I mean, I'm pretty plain and I don't think I shoot too far out of my league...well, maybe when I've had a dram lol but generally not. So if I don't find any of them attractive...

Starting to wonder if i should move city lol. But I have noticed cute guys in the city near me...on occasion...

I scrolled through about 15 pages on pof the other night and couldn't find any I felt an initial attraction to.

Anyone else find this?
And if you are having any luck - where are you and what do you fancy in a guy?

@Pinkbonbon nope badoo wasn't great I lasted a couple of days
A girl at work has just met her bf on hinge
I'm considering a paid site

I met DH on Match.com 13 years ago.

I had used the free dating sites also and didn't find the right kind of man I wanted to meet. Many wanted a quick leg over.. Fine if that's what you're after but I wasn't.

Maybe it's the people who pay for the service who are more serious about a relationship!

i don't fancy anyone unless i know/like their personality. OLD needs to be just the launch point and you really really need to get out there for low stress coffees/drinks as often as possible to meet someone who you clock with... that's when men become fanciable. what you get irl is never what was represented by them on the site (men are useless at profiles too!)

This sounds terrible but I didn't really fancy my DP just from pics when we first met. He sent me a fun first message that was different to the usual "hi babe wot u up2", that made it clear he had actually read my profile, so I felt I should send a decent one back. I did and we got chatting, fully expecting it wouldn't go anywhere. Met in person a few weeks later, we were initially FWBs but fell for each other. We're now a year in and inseparable. And I find him VERY attractive now!

That's what I thought but I remember I broached the topic with male friends once and they said that men on paid sites were mostly still just looking to get a leg over, but just from, for lack of another way to put it, a higher caliber of women. So I don't think that paid sites necessarily mean men on them are looking for anything more serious.

I always wonder if they are more inclined to lie about what they want on paid sites because there's more emphasis on stating that...
