[Closed] Dating websites

Tbf I met my last partner of six n half years from a MTB forum/website so I'm open to the idea of dating online. Especially as work romances don't work and I tend to just look like an aggressive sweaty idiot at the squash club!

That's not the story round here......

He didn't say WHICH side....

GolfChick and training to be a fully qualified careers advisor within my role

Not exactly a difficult job is it? I mean, someone says "should i get a job" you say "Yes" Job(sic) done........ 😉

OP remember to write your profile as... Hobbies: reading a good book, pub lunches, beach holidays, snuggling up on the sofa..

Basically you are a human whale then that doesnt ****ing move.

If you have a small child, hold it up in your profile pic on the 'I want to meet someone to get off with' website.

Or..

Photo of you holding a glass of wine grinning.

Basically like 99% of female profiles?

Doesnt matter though as you'll still receive 30emails instantly; 20 from players/(married men), 9 from socially disfunctional weirdo's who will text you every morning and evening like an alarm clock (thinking thats how to develop a relationship) and 1 from a genuinely nice bloke. Maybe. Just maybe. 🙂

Guardian Soulmates or Times encounters are ok.

Met the person I think I will spend the rest of my life with this way 🙂

That's not the story round here......

Everyone has a price!! Mine is an extra large tub of haagen dazs.

Can't see the pic that well, but it looks like your poison is Edy's Cookie Douche.

MTB girls are Defo trouble, they go embarrassing and showing you men up all the time!

First thing I thought there was "that's in IBM 5160," then was hit by a horrible bolt of self-awareness as to why I'm out of the running.

I met my wife on Fitness Singles.....

Fitness Singles....

That was the site I was thinking about.

Prove it 😉

These threads are pure 4.30pm work gold. Love it, keep it coming.

Hora.
Beach holidays are boring as hell but I'm going to whistler next year so I'll add that.
Children. No thank you that's why I split from last partner.
Wine glass. No thanks I'm practically T total.
Does that up my chances of the genuine guys as I'll put off all the other tossers?!

Hammyuk. How about a photo of me after I broke my jaw in three places and smashed out a few teeth. Although that tends to work against the representation of skill?!

I met the current MrsIHN on eHarmony.

At some point I plan to sue.

^that must have been awkward. Did you know she was on it?

She's cool about it, we have an agreement....

😉

Cookie Douche.

Sounds a bit 'specialist'.

I am loving this thread.
Special award for sc-xc.
Genius.

That'll do - at least I'll know what you look like in the morning.....

I'm in the same boat.

No seriously, I used to own a Mk 2 Golf, have Dogs, love MTBing am T total only do " disposable " children ( Godaughter who I babysit sometimes ) and enjoy the simple life.

Can't imagine there's anyone like Me out there......

Sorry I don't get on with dogs, so I'm out.

How..... Just how... On so many levels.....

Seeing as I've had a fairly crappy time of it lately, this thread has thoroughly cheered me up!

She is fairly loveable tbh!

Is your dog single?

Asking for a friend...

She is lovely.

Here's my 2 when I popped back at lunch, don't know why I bought them a bed each when they curl up together

Dogging?

I've used [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ ]this one[/url] in the past with spectacular results..

I'm not sure if genital herpes was worth it though 😳

😉

Hang on. Is Simmy now flirting with me through the medium of emoticons?

Spicy Pizza & a Case of Guinness & I'm yours!

See, How hard was that?

He is my little one. He might look mean, but he has a heart of gold.

Sorry Goldchick you got this all wrong, you don't need to go online to date.
You do a sport that is male dominated so all you need to do is
go to a busy trail centre
ride for a Km or so
let down your tyre
wait a few mins then have plenty of guys offering to help
you can then say "I am OK I got it covered" TILL
one catches you eye, "oh my spare seams to have a hole in it as well"
been a gent he offer you his, then you say thanks "I better take your number to be able to return the innertube" (arrange 2nd date)
Bonus is you can get to have a chat while he fixes "the flat" and you then also get to find out if he be any good at looking after you bikes if you date.
Win win
😀

.....and ruin their Strava KOM attempts? Pffft!

As a recently single bloke who's had a look round a few some basic tips..

Make sure it's just you in the picture, it's always disappointing if they turn out to be the "Oh that one" 😉 (Joking but seen heaps of profiles where you have no idea who the actual person is - as much as it's superficial, internet dating starts off that way)

Get ready to filter, it's a womans world/buyers market out there down side is there is a lot of crap to filter through.

Sometimes it's probably harder to come up with that killer intro than just have a conversation with someone.

Geography makes more difference to the sites in some ways. Some of the higher recommended sites near me have very few people. Others have loads.

Don't forget to live life rather than looking for love. Sometimes things just happen.

oh and make sure you don't tell STW where you are going in advance or there will be an entire army of blokes ready to fix a puncture lurking in the bushes.

MTBrob a fantastic ploy but firstly I'm fairly stubborn and independent so totally goes against me amd I'd actually get frustrated with guys assuming cos I'm female I need help (obviously apart from the extremely charming ones) and secondly I'm tubeless so it just wouldn't happen! I did manage to understeer round a corner once and take out a wheel on the curb and got no less than six offers to help me change the wheel. I turned them all down suprisingly!

Cheers for the thoughts Mike I'll definitely not struggle to live as well as take a look around, I don't let my life allow much time really. It's 6am and I have a 3.5 mile walk to do before I even get ready for work! Good tip about geography, I've already done the long distance dating and although it has its positives I haven't got the time now to drive miles and miles!

Question...

Why do you need to use a dating site?

I don't NEED to but I personally think it can be a good way to meet someone that you ordinarily wouldn't. I also think you can get to know someone easier to know if they're compatible with you as I don't want someone who isnt. Unless they lie obviously but at least that way it'll amuse me to see how well they can talk out of their backsides! And besides I Actually enjoy the experience of getting to know someone new even if it's just for friendship. Hence my best mate being a bloke from Darlington who first approached me to chat me up on pinkbike!
