oh god and if you agree i need to get back out there and do some research then how do i go about that? who on here has done the 'casual' dating thing and how does it go? and how the hell do you find men you fancy on pof?

Sparks1 · 03/12/2011 17:28

I'm sure i am swallowed! ;)

South of England,but i'm afraid i'm rather head of heels with a young lady who happens to post on here :)

I think you should go for it personally. Your behaviour is far from slapper esque!

itsalladirtylie · 03/12/2011 17:43

I guess by 'slapper' you mean someone who is promiscuous?
I dont really see anything wrong with being promiscuous (and probably would be more so myself were it not for my reclusive tenancies)

I understand the tendancy to feel emotionally attached to someone if the sex worked especially well, I guess the more sexual partners you have the more you learn to manage that.

As for casual dating, I find the NSA sites a bit better than POF for that...but you still have to go through the tedium of meeting lots of people who are just not what you're looking for

swallowedAfly · 03/12/2011 18:21

what's nsa?

swallowedAfly · 03/12/2011 18:22

oh! no strings attached. can't see it - sounds a bit meat market hideous and likely to attract every dodgy on earth.

itsalladirtylie · 03/12/2011 18:44

for sure the devil casts his net wider on NSA sites..but there are some nice men on there (just ones who dont want a full on relationship) and it's pretty easy to spot the not nice ones, they show their true colours straight away

swallowedAfly · 03/12/2011 18:48

what sites?

after my big talk i've just gone through the first five pages of a local search on pof and remembered that there are no guys out there i fancy even if i'm not looking for someone relationship worthy.

god it's a dessert/desert.

itsalladirtylie · 03/12/2011 18:54

you could try www.adultfishdating.co.uk
it's free to women and links in with several other sites afaik

Sparks1 · 03/12/2011 18:59

I haven't done NSA for a few years now but didn't really find it any different to " conventional" dating. Met some great women who I was very fond of. If anything you get more honesty and less time wasters!

itsalladirtylie · 03/12/2011 19:07

just ordinary dating with anatomical profile pics Wink

louderthanbombs · 04/12/2011 00:34

Ok, what does everyone make of this message I've received?

'So , im sending you a message. Liked your profile & used an " enlarger " to see the photo ! Ha ha.'

I'm a bit Confused about the enlarger reference, and btw, he's really unsuitable. I'm fed up of this now!

swallowedAfly · 04/12/2011 09:06

oh god it's probably fit boy louder - he puts haha in every text or message at least once.

ignore, obviously. enlarger was to look close up at your cleavage or something presumably.

prettypurpledaisy · 04/12/2011 10:29

Would I be shallow to cancel date tonight because of my hideous cold sores? We are just going for a quick drink tonight as we haven't seen each other all week but I feel like a freak! DD says they are not noticable but she may be being kind. I have warned him about them and he is still up for meeting but.....
What would you do?

Sparks1 · 04/12/2011 10:44

You wouldn't be shallow you'd be foolish!

He says it's not a problem ( and would be a knob if he did) so on you go!

louderthanbombs · 04/12/2011 11:24

SAF, I don't think anyone would describe this one as 'fit'!

PoppaRob · 04/12/2011 12:04

daisy, if DD says they're no biggie then go with her wisdom, assuming your relationship with her is functional and she doesn't have cataracts. Xmas Smile

prettypurpledaisy · 04/12/2011 12:12

Grin PoppaRob that made me laugh! My confidence is always very low but with these revolting things it is zero. I will go and try to forget they are there.

stayformulledwine · 04/12/2011 13:11

Louder - if he is unsuitable just don't bother.

Daisy - slap on the Zovirax and off you go! Hope you have a good time Smile

FabbyChic · 04/12/2011 13:25

Badoo is free.

POF is shit.

FabbyChic · 04/12/2011 13:27

I didnt find one man on POF that I was removely attracted to in fact Ive not found one man on any site that Im remotely attracted to.

swallowedAfly · 04/12/2011 13:33

fabby - likewise! it's shit isn't it? what hope is there?

swallowedAfly · 04/12/2011 13:34
Sparks1 · 04/12/2011 13:41

CarpetmunchersRus.co.uk?

They're out there ( The men not the lesbians) You just have to keep looking! :o

swallowedAfly · 04/12/2011 14:07

meh the moment (entertaining the idea of sex and relationships) will probably pass again before i spot one guy that is even shaggable let alone relationship worthy.

jesus what did we do to produce such a dearth of decent men?

(presnet company excepted)

Sparks1 · 04/12/2011 14:15

The abundance of horrible,manipulative and money grabbing women might have something to do with it..

( I'm not bitter :o)
