U31, I accept some people on internet dating sites may lack social skills, but not all. I tried internet dating because I have moved to a new area and don't know anyone. Now my knee is better I will be going on club rides, hopefully that will produce some new friends, which might lead on to romance.

I think you are missing the point.
If you think about it logically, surely the chances of you meeting a like-minded person are far greater than if you happen to bump into someone in a pub/club/work situation.
I haven't joined one properly yet but from posting up a basic profile I had loads of info/meet requests from attractive women, on paper at least......mind you, I haven't posted a pic of myself yet so I expect the interest rate to drop dramatically if I ever get round to it

that whole PofF "wanna f@*k" thing worked for 3 blokes that contacted my ex that way, about a week after she moved out of my flat (so i was told by mutual friends who were worried about her behaviour)...
she wasn't so much a psycho but more just very hard work due to her mental state for a long time, and with hindsight i should possibly have given up trying long before she broke up with me. but it's all done now and i'm a hell of a lot happier with things these days. and she didn't smash up any of my stuff or anything either (although she owes me a bit of money)...Posted 1 year ago # -
a helpful guide for chaps using internet dating sites
What she really means.
ADORABLE Wetter than Pamela Anderson's swimming costume. She'll be forever showing you pictures of fluffy kittens on her mobile phone and, on your first date, will have given pet names to all your fingers before the main course arrives.
CURVY Fat. Forget any silly notions of Marilyn Monroe's softly sensuous body. This girl is more pint glass than hourglass.
VOLUPTUOUS Fat and shows too much flesh in clothes two sizes too small for her.
BUBBLY Fat AND annoying. Tries to make up for her ample size by being the life and soul of the party and fails in all respects.
CUDDLY Morbidly obese. A date would necessitate the removal of the roof and a whale sling. Cuddling is very unlikely, although squashing is a distinct possibility.
BBW Stands for 'big, beautiful woman'. Well, two out of three's not bad. She's certainly big and female. But it's doubtful many beholders will consider her beautiful.
SIZE 10 In Uzbekistan. On the UK High Street it's a completely different story.
FIERY Psychotic. Cancel a date with this girl and you'll come home to find your car has been keyed and all the sleeves have been cut off your shirts.
VIVACIOUS Aggressive. An opinionated finger-jabber. She's got views on everything and she's not afraid to ram them forcefully down your throat.
GREAT PERSONALITY Ugly as sin. If a woman is selling her personality, then her face looks good in a paper bag.
ARTISTIC Drama Queen. Welcome to a world of slamming doors, smashed crockery and huffy silences.
ATHLETIC AND TONED Flat chested and shapeless. A sexless, lumpless and bumpless Tomboy.
AGE 34 Age 43. There's more chance of winning the Lottery on a double rollover week than there is of being a woman over 35 and getting a date on the internet. It doesn't matter if the guy is 60, he'll still confine his searches to '35 and under', so any woman's age should be taken as a ball park figure.
PLAYFUL Hussy. Working her way through the internet site and it's your turn.
GIRLY Thick. Shallower than a mouse's foot bath. High School Musical is her idea of high brow. She can tell you the name of every character in TV teen drama Gossip Girl, but has no idea who the Prime Minister is.
LIVES LIFE TO THE FULL Alcoholic. Likes to start the day with a couple of Bacardi Breezers. Happy Hour is her favourite time of day.
I'M INTO WHIRLWIND ROMANCES My visa runs out in 10 days and if I don't get married I'll be deported.
CHALLENGING High-maintenance pain in the neck.
HOMELY Frump. You want to paint the town red and she'll want you to paint her living room beige. Brace yourself for a world of cup-a-soups and novelty toilet roll holders.
LOYAL Stalker. She'll have Googled you and looked you up on Friends Reunited before you even meet. Her brain cannot process the words: 'I don't think you're quite right for me.'
LIKES THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE Gold digger. Looking for a new wardrobe, jewellery and a few weekends away before she dumps you for a 25-year-old Adonis.
HONEST No social skills. The censorship button in her brain doesn't work. Says whatever comes into her head.
SENSITIVE Cry baby. Woe betide you if you don't notice she's had her hair cut or that she's wearing new shoelaces.

Tazzy! Can you write me a profile please?
Posted 1 year ago # -
ha, i met my current gf on a popular internet dating website and on her profile she said that she was curvy. she is. definitely not 'fat'!
in fact, one thing that we did notice about each other's profiles (with hindsight) was that we were both totally honest about ourselves, and yeah it is quite a rarity on those things.
especially on that 'fitness singles' one- the couple of women i had any contact with via there were proper jackanorys!Posted 1 year ago # -
Hahaha, crazy days, Tazzymtb, you are right 95% of the time, infact in understanding norms your always spot on, us weirdo's though. You don't get us at all!

Woody - I dont want to burst your bubble, but I would be sceptical about the attention you are getting. I'm assuming it is a pay site you have created a profile on?
Try plenty of fish or ok Cupid, they are both free.
Generally the women expect the men to message them, In my experience anyway

Yes it's a pay site but I haven't paid anything yet so I don't get to see what they look like. Do you think it was wrong for me to let slip that I'm a millionaire and like to spoil my women?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hmmm, Woody.... Call me cynical but one wonders if you're getting all this attention precisely because you haven't paid yet?

Yes it did occur to me when they were 'contacting' from Wales and London despite me stipulating a 30 mile radius of Durham !
Maybe the site is run by ex estate agents?

Hmmm, I did this properly by marrying a lass when I was 19, on the grounds that I loved her and I thought a bit of security may help her rather excitable nature. As we moved into our early 20's, she was diagnosed as bi-polar, had an eating disorder, and substance problems. We separated when I was 26, after effectively losing these years to total chaos, of the kind a you would have to live to believe, the only real breaks were the times she was sectioned in hospital. I'm 36 now, dead happy, single but a bit of a tart. She died a couple of years ago, and I did go to her funeral, and although I didn't feel saddened by her loss but I was hit by the fact her mum and dad were the only others to attend, despite being on of 5 children.

One that did make me laugh was "Hi, I'm J***, I'm 22 and can mostly be found wheely-ing my mountainbike down the middle of the road. I like dogs too, I have a malamute husky. Let me give you a night you won't forget".
So you got my email then ?

Stick to bikes, that way if you take care of them, you get to ride how you want, when you want, for as long as you like
