On Line Dating - full of ghastly men

[KatherineSwynford1403]

One would assume so, going by comments day in, day out, on MN. Also from three of my friends who have had dates with men who:

a) walk out of the restaurant and stand smoking outside the window
b) swipe through Tinder when the friend got up to go to the loo
c) talk non-stop about Arsenal
d) insist on going to Nandos
e) have a cheeky this, a cheeky that - everything was 'cheeky'
f) ask them on Date 1 to tell them all about their exes
g) message when en-route to the first meeting to say they wanted to 'take a rain check' - this was in a city between both their hometowns
h) ask for inappropriate pictures

That's enough to be going on with.

I am of the opinion that anyone with anything about them wouldn't need to go on these sites (these friends all met partners, one actually on Tinder the others through a fell running club and a mutual friend). So the apps are packed with these ghastly weirdos who see it as entertainment.

Ok. So you're not a fan.
Plenty of others are.
Live & let live.

Be thankful that these bottom feeders are not capable of hiding who they really are

Going on dates with strangers, what can go wrong lol, most will have different social behaviours and values, and manners-people come from all different backgrounds, it's not always easy to judge who's the best fit until you meet them.
Not always bad people but just different, it's a good way of a quick turnaround rather waiting and waiting until eventually you meet someone in rl, tbh most people aren't right for me however we meet.
How would you know that the man at the running club isn't also on a dating app, people try all sorts of things to meet a date.

I did online dating once...

Started out with high hopes and ended up with itnebing a way to get amusing anecdotes to share with my friends down the pub.

Spent a long time single, seeing friends, doing hobbies and having fun. I eventually met someone in real life.

I think some people are very lucky and meet someone ok on line but, for the most part, I think it's a waste of time.

Well with that list ....

Oh come on, liking Nandos and describing things as cheeky is not just different, it's the very definition of evil.

So your three friends don't have anything about them?

You're entitled to your opinion. Millions who met online and are happy have a different opinion. Do you think they're wrong and you're right?

“I am of the opinion that anyone with anything about them wouldn't need to go on these sites”

well that’s bollocks, but the rest of it has some truth!

I’m in my late 40s and work at home, don’t have a huge amount of money for going out and joining clubs etc. how else am I supposed to meet anyone? Funnily enough eligible handsome men aren’t going around throwing themselves at me in Tesco.

I’ve been on bumble for a few months, plenty of nice men, plenty of ok dates that didn’t lead to more. Couple led to some good sex and one is now a friendship.

However this week alone I’ve had two dates arranged, place and time agreed, and then 2 days in advance they stop texting, when I ask are we still on for xx-day? They ignore and then delete/block me from WhatsApp.

I’m now so pissed off that I’ve deleted my bumble account and have had to resign myself to being alone as I can’t keep doing this.

The ‘cheeky this‘ and ‘cheeky’ that comment made me laugh!!!!
