ARIMA Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's so wrong. Every single man I've ever been out with has had far more jealousy issues than me. Apparently I don't give a flying duck. You mean jealous of other men's relative success in life, or jealous of you getting attention from other men? Because the latter is a completely different subject to the point I was making above.

Imminent_plunge Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 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. Went for an Internet date a few years ago. He talked about himself all night long. Apparently he was the inspiration for Madinna's ' Frozen', he'd been married to a supermodel, etc. the bar was I the basement, loos on ground level, I had the choice of going back down to him or getting the hell out. Always handy to have a babysitting friend on hand who can flag up an emergency at your behest. h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujio Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 More anecdotes, interesting profiles etc for the resident married betas (closet alphas ) to digest and analyse please . Where do I start? My pseudo 'Alpha' male profile has been resurrected due to sheer boredom. I already have half a dozen phone numbers given and 'when can we meet' messages. He's been favorited over 30 times. Sh@t that reminds me Mr H has been invited over for dinner tonight! Funniest was two different women asking if I have Kik (some chat app)... So I added it and by mistake added both of them to one conversation! I then tried to cover my trail saying I thought I would introduce them to each other as I wanted a 3 some (fully expecting to be blown out labelled a perv). Low and behold a few scantily clad pics later mr H has a 3some set up! And these women have the usual run of the mill profiles too. Point of this all? It's not the content of your profile or anything like that.... If you are a good looking guy (6ft2), you can say absolutely anything you like and if you act like a bit of a knob you wont get any drop off in interest. (This profile has only one picture and two lines in the profile) I have half a dozen women lined up to meet in real life this weekend...moral of the story? Well I will let you draw that conclusion. Yes, I am being a bit of a knob! Lets just call it a final reality check on the murky world of Internet dating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is it wrong to take on a 25 year old lover at 44? I'm sure men would be high-fived but not sure it's applicable to women. Looks like you never got a serious answer to this, and having read your posts in the 'is love dead' thread it looks like you need one, so... No, it's perfectly acceptable. High-five! Just, you know, respect him. If it's a just a fling and you both know the score, fine. If he's a serious young chap who's genuinely into you, don't mess him around. I don't know you and I'm not suggesting that you would, just saying. In my early 20s I was only ever after a LTR, and I'd have been happy to have one with an attractive woman in her 40s, and would not have been happy if she'd just used me and chucked me aside. Good luck whatever you decide . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujio Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 as above...screenshots or it never happened I didn't save the initial chat, so got chatting last night just for the benefit of you guys!

The Masked Tulip Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think you are probably right - I think women generally are much more jealous and envious of their friends/peers than blokes. This really does ferment into a cold, sharp bitterness at some point in the early 30's if it's left untamed. Probably some factor of their reproductory shelf life. You think? Think?

The Masked Tulip Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Is it wrong to take on a 25 year old lover at 44? I'm sure men would be high-fived but not sure it's applicable to women. Go for it as long as you know it will just be sex and short-lived. You might get a few months out of it or even a couple of years... but ultimately he is going to get over his older woman thing and look around for women of his own age. All depends on how good the sex is I guess. You probably will have more criticism from other women than from men. I imagine most men will wish you well. On POF the number of women in their 40s and 50sin South Wales, looking for men 10 to 20 years younger is interesting. Best of luck to them but I suspect the vast majority will be disappointed. If it works for you it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARIMA Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 So what's a simple description of an alpha and a beta. I want to know what i am. And are there other categories ? Would you say you have a natural social dominance and an aptitude for escorting women to the bone yard? That's alpha. If you're a hikikomori who stays in his bedroom 24/7 that's omega. Beta = everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujio Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What is the two line description on the 'alpha' profile, and lets see the pic of this guy... Temped to repeat the experiment in my part of the world but the results would probaby just depress me I will say , 'do it', just so you can see what it's really like on the other side of the divide. But also, don't do it if you can't handle the results. You will find that those very same women who previously fobbed off your genuine profile and messages will now become very forthcoming with a different kind of guy, with their criteria based primarily on looks/image. It's extremely funny seeing some of the few that you previously conversed with telling the 'alpha' dude something entirely different! As well as being extremely keen in offering numbers and meeting up asap. I will open up my pseudo-profile to you after my experiment if you like. For me it's brought closure to the whole internet dating thing. You can only run into a brick wall so many times before you realise you are far better off channeling that time and energy into the real world.

Depends if you'd find it funny if some female joker did the same with you I suppose. Maybe it'd be OK - no date, but a chance for a chat and a drink with like-minded folks? Imagining arranging a date with some impossibly beautiful lady, and me and Joe show up instead. Be a great laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only run into a brick wall so many times before you realise you are far better off channeling that time and energy into the real world. Please do show us it; I'll set up an account for Mr Aloof Alpha in my part of the world and see what happens. There's only one person on the site who I'd be a bit gutted if I got a reply from as I did have 'feelings' for her, but I can take it as my opinion of folks on dating sites can't get much lower. It'll be a fun experiment - look forward to seeing the profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
