CarbonBasedLifeform Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Recently moved to a new city for a new job, i didn,t know anyone here at the start so decided to try a dating site just to get out a bit and figured a bit of female company would,nt hurt. I,d never used one before as i don,t generally have problems meeting women, all my exes are attractive to very attractive,but i thought i,d give it a try under the circumstances. big mistake anyone else notice the following. You know the deluded types that are found on crap like xfactor who are completly convinced that they are the next celine dion etc even though they can,t sing a note these sites are full of the dating equivelent. Fat unattractive with 5 bellies ,6 double chins, bingo wings, dressed in tents and with 3 kids in tow and living in a crappy ex council house , thay have a list of qualities that you must have and say things like "must know how to treat a lady" ie spend lots of cash on me and "princess looking for knight etc" usually the wrong side of 35 and with more issues than heather mills, They actually seem to believe they can be choosy they send you a message and if you dont reply they sometimes get all stroppy, Just wondering if this is mainly a female phenonemon caused by all this "because you are woth it" crap i suspect most of these old scrappers have more chance of winning the lottery than finding another husband with all the required qualities.

Mega Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Very much what i found, BRITISH females are the worst! French women think they are the fatest in europe, in fact they are the lightest....british women think they the lightest and are the fatest! You must be:- Tall dark & hamsone Able to fight off a SS division with one hand, but be sensative to her needs Be Rich She is:- Fat lots of kids poor Looking for a mug They always post photo's from the 1980's!.....................had one say the photo was "last year"......the street behind was full of XR2's & XR3's etc. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You're on the wrong sites, you using free ones? Best women are probably on Guardian Soulmates and mysinglefriend. I'm told sites are full of deluded blokes too, social rejects with beer bellies who reckon they are fit as their favourite footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Bart' Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 social rejects with beer bellies who reckon they are fit as their favourite footballer. In my case that's true, my favourite footballer is Gazza. Common requirements seem to be: Must be solvent Must have car Must own your own house An intriguing set of priorities when looking for love.

Quagmire Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Certainly a lot of crap out there. I had some success with one of these sites though (now living with her!), my advice: 1. Use a pay site. 2. Let them come to you and be choosy. Ignore the chaff. 3. Meet up in real life asap. 4. Don't go to dinner on the first date - drinks only. Easy to escape that way.

Quagmire Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 That's success? I do wonder at times.. If anything ever went wrong though I wouldn't bother with the whole bar scene - I'd be back online. The system works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all that... but I'm also married Seriously though, when I compare my single male friends/colleagues to my single female friends/colleagues, there does seem to be something of a 'reality gap' when it comes to the expectations on the female side. I wouldnt quite put it as harshly as Mug did, and it varies from person to person, of course, but it's along those lines. Hey ho, not that I have to care. The women will either realize that what they are looking for is not realisitic bearing in mind what they bring to the table... or they won't. And if i were single again, Mr P's position has a certain amount of attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still good friends with an Ex of mine and she uses a well known dating site.Now she is quite an attractive girl but the people who she gets contact from are generally ten years older than their stated age.She has shown me some of the mails they send and men claiming to be "Professionals" don't appear to be able to spell or punctuate. Now to me this rather beggars belief,unless of course they are professional boxers who have taken a few too many hits to the head. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was refering to more general expectations, not viz-a-viz dating sites per se. And of course there are the exceptions to the rule on both sides. Just an anecdote, an OK-average lass I know was recently expounding about the body shape and general appearance of man she was after, and got me thinking 'OK love, but you do know that any guy who looks like that is going to be at best gay and at worst such a narcissist that your only chance of a look-in is purely as arm-candy to show off how fabulous he is. And frankly, your not sufficiently arm-candy enough to appeal to that type of guy. So either way, you're likely to be out of luck.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick It Down Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 A little experiment for you guys. Make a female profile on one of these online dating sites with a random picture from somewhere, have her passable but nothing amazingly attractive. Witness the emails fly in every ten minutes. Now you know why they can be so choosy. You won't get a fraction of the responses even if you put up a brilliant male profile. Online dating is not for men, it's just to build up female's confidence.

General Melchett Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 full service history. Oooh. I was given to understand it was impolite to ask.

DrMartinSanchez Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Girls on dating sites usually belong to one or more of the following categories: - Terribly unattractive - Uninteresting / bad personality - Career woman (e.g I want a man because I don't have time for a dog) - Illiterate - Alcoholic - Single mum - Gold diggers / Wants to meet Brad Pitt lookalike with big wallet - Old girl desperate for babies I speak from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out in the real world keyboard jockeys. Have to agree, I only ever met up with two women from match.com that I contacted (and the one that I did date for several months turned out to be a complete pain). Most won't give you the time of day so it seems a waste of money. Meanwhile in reallife don't have any problem getting asked out by women that I meet without me even doing anything! As you say when they are getting emails every 10 minutes you don't stand much chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepLurker Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yep, people lie a lot on the internet. Both sexes. Hold on, if what you're saying is true... then maybe... all those people who post here on HPC that they've got half a mil stashed in the bank (house fund), a beemer and that they holiday every year in Cuba... but that at the moment they're living with their mum... maybe it's not all true?
