"you say potato, I say potatNO"

Down with potatoes

As you were....

And anyone who fancies someone 6foot3? I would look too tiny, even in heeks!

I like tall men, MLM! But it always seems to be the short men who message me...

Mr Nice is around 6 foot. Possibly a little more (am 5 foot 4 and so everything over about 5 foot 10 is just "tall")

6 foot is perfect. I'm liking the sound of Mr Nice! Hope the date on Tuesday goes well.

Have him, he is quite fit, slightly tanned and erm younger.

I mainly attract short men. The Ex was my height, as are most of my other Exs (I'm only 5' 6 so not exactly tall!) for some reason short men like me

I have messaged (tall) men on POF today, which I never have before.

None have replied, needless to say...

That should have been 5 men.

Good luck sponge hope some (or preferably all!) of them reply. I hate it when I send a message and don't hear anything back. I always try to send a reply if I get a message, though it's usually a matter of trying to find a tactful way of saying I'm not attracted to them! Not that I'm getting any messages at all at the moment...

I have closed my oasis window. It was boring me. Boring men and I faced it there is only 1 person I want to talk to

Morning......oops, afternoon {grin]

Feedback agree with Time

loves do you have usernames as those two links don't work for me.

Miranda things are looking good :)

MLM thanks for the offer but he's a bit too young for me.

Another one here who likes tall men but gets the short ones messaging her.

hiya, hows it all going?

Just to update, I went on a date with a guy on friday who was very nice but i didnt fancy him, but took him home and slept with him anyway

I arranged a date with mr location for today we were going to meet in central london for drinks etc, but he is very hungover and asked if i would go to his area. he is slighty outside of london so it will be a mission. I feel like saying no but feel bad as i also cancelled our last date. what do you think i should do?

I was hoping he would cancel as me going out means dd will have to stay at my mums and has school tomorrow, so i would rather she stayed at home. but for some reason i feel bad to cancel.

chaotic it's goonerdik and speedyChris
notsure i say cancel, he has moved the goalposts..why would he want to go on the date if he feels rough?
I think he's trying to get you to do all the running.
Make him come to you:)

)oh and go easy on the 'sympathy shags'..you dont owe them anything:)

Loves - the thing is last time he came to my area. But he was in the area anyway so it kind of was easy for him! I think it's always going to be a problem with us meeting up as he always wants it to be in his area although I guess info too, but your right he is the one changing the goal posts!

I don't think it was a sympathy shag, I know I dont owe them anything, but I don't know why I tend to just do things like this when I'm drunk

notsure, don't go. he's got a hangover?! boohoo. If he's well enough to go on a date he's well enough to meet you somewhere convenient to you. If not, then get rid, he is not prepared to make any effort and you can do without that.

I've only had 1 reply. 2 of the others viewed me but didn't reply.

Wondering whether I am not as attractive as I think I am...

Sorry that's only one reply to the men I messaged earlier...

I probably did pick the 5 best looking 30 somethings on POF.

Well 4 plus the one who has replied. Who has already called me 'hun'

notsure, is he worth putting yourself out for..is there enough in it for you?
You could always play on his hangover and say you think it'd be best to wait till he's feeling 100%?

Agree with loves last post.

I don't know whether POF have changed the goalposts or it's my computer but they're still not coming up doing a name search Ah, well, I doubt I'm missing anything. I'm thinking of putting a profile on there anyway so if I do I may just check then, out of curiosity.

Same here. I haven't got a POF profile so cannot view people, has this always been the case? Feel like making a fake profile just so I can view all these gorgeous men.

Notsure, he sounds lazy, reschedule, it's not convenient for you. Don't put this guy before your DD's interests today. I very rarely drank on a first date. Shuddering at the thought of drunken shags with some of the men I met on first dates . I did once because although I hadn't met him he was the ex of a mutual friend and we met within walking distance.

Sponge, one reply is quite good odds. You know what the lookers are like on the sites, they tend to like to do the choosing. So it's not you at all.

My friend on POF decided to reply to a few guys even though she didn't want to engage with them, depending on the original messages. It was hilarious. Guy 'You look lovely' Mate 'Thanks' Guy 'Do you fancy a coffee?' Mate 'No Thanks' . I must admit I used to only reply to about 5% of messages, it seemed like a waste of time otherwise.

I have cancelled and told him we can meet next week sometime!

I always seem to go for drinks on the fist date, but this is the only 1st date that I have slept with someone! He text me yesterday evening but I don't want to see him again, but did reply today! He was a nice guy but not my type!

Why do men on oasis think that hi hottie or it fit is an intelligent start to a conversation which so says I don't just want to sleep with you? Nah.

MLM, because they cannot be bothered to say much else when they probably don't get much in the way of replies. They also think that 'Hi hottie' is flattering.

I've registered on POF and put up a profile that probably excludes about 90% of them

At least I could see loves links...definite potatomen
