Ok, so 3 years single. Joined match, but it was a bit crap due to lockdown, which is understandable. I've joined POF... I'm 42.., anyone had any success or am I wasting my time?

I've had a few conversations, I haven't had any dick pics yet so all good 😂 had a really good interaction with someone local but when he asked me out it was to his house so I've let that one be. There's a lot of pics where their dogs are licking their faces or their putting their fingers up in their profile pics.... I'll keep on going as so many seem to have had success..but I'll be keeping my wits about me. Thanks for all your replies XX

Just signed to for bumble. Everyone seems so better looking than POF... 😂 did bumble users subscribe for the paid plan? And did they make first move? X

I signed up to bumble and it seemed promising at first but once you've swiped left they are gone forever and it doesn't take long to get through them all. You have no choice but to make the first move and if you match you only get 24 hours to do so before they are go s too. All a bit pushy for my liking. If bumble were a man I'd be seeing red flags and giving a wide swerve 😆. Can't bring myself to pay!

I met DH on POF 10 years ago. He was the only POF date I went on. You do have to wade through the messages from weirdos though!

@nandaandm asked you to his house!! Thank goodness you didn't go.

After a lot of rubbish dates and liars on there (and on other sites), I met my fiancé on POF nearly 4 years ago. Definitely worth persevering (and you'll have lots of stories to tell!!). You may get lucky quickly - I was the 1st person he met on the site.

I've been on for about a week and it has been fun. No dates, yet. I'm not sure how to get them to move into real life meeting - they may be hesitant because of the pandemic, but I would meet for a coffee.

To my surprise, I really like Tinder, which I joined a couple of days ago.Yes, it's shallow. But one plus is that you'll never get a message from a man you find unattractive. Nor will you message someone wondering if they will like the look of you - you can only message those who have indicated a mutual interest.

I'm getting pretty good at predicting who will match with me. I'm getting a good idea of how attractive I am (or am not) to men.

I get a lot of messages from cougar hunters on PoF - I'm pretty hot for a 50-year-old, I exercise daily, have long blonde hair, tan, etc. But on Tinder I'm only shown to 40-60 year olds and I never swipe right on men younger than 48 or so. And in my experience the men my age who are actually still very attractive - stay very fit, have a full head of hair - don't swipe me. I think they're still playing for younger women and fair do's to them.

Another one who met my incredible husband on POF 7 years ago.
