Dating Thread 43

[WarmFuzzyFun]

Here it is...

My friend has been on 2 dates with a guy from POF and he has talked about moving to this city (he lives somewhere else) asked her about her thoughts on marriage and everything she says she likes he does too. He is giving her the serious creeps. She is very glad he doesnt know where she lives.

Jule that EVER is now reverberating in my head like the clanging chimes of doom!!!

I have fancied quite a few at times but I have been known to have slightly odd taste now and then and I'm very generous with my age ranges. I'm also smack bang in the middle of an area with loads of towns and cities so that probably helps.

I think I am gonna have to start loving my own company ALOT by the looks of it then...

I think location is quite a big part of it...I get quite alot of messages from men who look nice in the london area,sometimes tempted but really I think they're just too far away.

48 and OWW whoop whoop!!

Can't believe the weekend is over .. I was out with Lovingfreedom last night .. I met her through mumsnet and she was my first online date .. We're off to New York a week on friday as one of my friends is getting hitched there and she is coming as my plus one ..

Hi to everyone else

Purely platonic btw .. Don't want to start any rumours :)

ike - it's not just you. I still maintain location has much to do with it, age a bit to do with it. Having been back on POF and OKC for three weeks now, I have only found one remotely attractive and interesting woman in a 50-mile radius of me to message. OK, she was ridiculously too attractive, but she is literally the only one I found fanciable in any way. And I've only had two messages to me, from fake profiles.

I was gonna say Kirst sounds cool you lucky things....would have loved to stay in the Chelsea Hotel but they have shut it now...

How did you know the profiles were fake Voice?

Ah, forgot you weren't on the thread earlier, ike. Both from Scotland (so, several hundred miles away), both South Asian, both with TheCat in their profile name and profile details relatively similar.

I see ...what was the purpose do you think?

No idea, and I didn't reply to either (almost identical) message to find out!

How odd...

I've always felt these sorts of profiles - bit like the stuff we were talking about earlier and referred to in that link Bant posted - is to keep you on site and make you think it's worth staying around for or, in some instances, paying to see a message, or see more photos or whatever. I suspect had I replied I'd have got another message suggesting they didn't use OKC but I could get them on "another site" (that's a regular trick, too, I'm told).

There, I have just replied to a message, the guy has no discernable features and appears to be hiding behind a motorbike but maybe I need to just....oh I dunno...

Oh Ill go check your convo now Voice...

the 'other site' may well be one where you need to give your credit card details in return for some 'web cam action'

Merc - that would be my guess!

oh....I see...bloody hell !!!

Having exhausted POF and OKC am trying to decide whether it is worth paying out for Match again. It was a complete waste last time.

it stands to reason that women who sell sexual services would see dating sites as a business opportunity, i'm sure it would be pretty easy to get an income stream going:)

Unfortunately Merc...I think you may be right. Well I met TR on Match dont know if that is any advert for its services though!

But dating sites are full of men who want real girlfriends or at least real actual female flesh for sexual encounters... and spare cash will be going on date travel/drinks/aftershave/condoms not prime place for punters I reckon.

Motorbike guy has assured me he is not a basket case... really???
