Hmm recently single so thought I would try on line dating! Inundated with messages from lots of unsuitable men but one left me Shock! He didn't want a relationship just a deal in exchange for cash and gifts!! Since when has plenty of fish been an escort service!!

I think it is for me too. I mean talking about your respective days is part of a decent relationship, isn't it? I don't respect someone who lives off others their whole life - either the state or their ex - without a very good reason for doing so

"Financially secure" to me would not mean living off the state - if anything it
makes me think of maybe someone who has property or savings that give him an income! And if your health does not allow you to work then that's not lack of ambition. This guy could be that brilliant millionnaire from the "Untouchable/Intouchables" film :)

I despise OLD even though I met my ex wife of 5 years on pof & my ex bf (FOC) on tinder.....Hmm maybe that's why I hate it so much lol!

I'd like to think I'd meet someone in RL however I don't go anywhere to!

Agreed, I wouldn't meet someone who doesn't work & doesn't drive, firstly I don't want to be paying for everything just to see them & I don't want to become a personal taxi service.

I once was seeing a guy who didn't drive, I ended up in EXCRUCIATING agony at home whilst he was there, the cheeky twunts words were "sooooo can I still get a lift home before you go to hospital??", safe to say, I binned him after that!!

Well eighthelement (have you changed from 8th to 80th?) I resurrected my POF profile, have received 25 messages from men I would've swiped left for on Tinder that range from a tentative "hi" to a brazen "wanna meet up tonight?" (for a first message?? really??). I'm waiting until I get home later to really read their profiles before deciding whether or not to reply. I have to give them more than a chance than I would on tinder or what's the point eh?

I'll also see fi there's any I fancy the look of an message them (Bumble has helped me get over my fear of messaging first!).

I would say no it is not the same Bant. Fitting a job around kids is a challenge even when they're at school.
