[Closed] online dating experiences

I love gingers. For me its either Asian or ginger in girls

Both rampant and both a bit nuts.... yeah, fair point.

...and both awesome 8)

So we all now know Horas "preferances" and his "attributes" and hi ponchant for "swapping"..

Whats the next revelation?

The ginger lass I dated years ago was a complete basket case. Stunningly beautiful but absolutely barking.

* Yes, on looks alone I was batting way out of my league. It was probably a "sign".

yes, I guess it might be because I'm ginger. Top tip is to use black and white photo's so they don't realise until you actually meet 🙂

Another redhead fan here

Mmmmm

The 3-date rule is easily broken in my experience. Used POF on-and-off for 3 years and have an 80% hit rate of 1st date carnival knowledge.

That said, there is definitely a "certain type" of woman on POF... AKA mentally damaged.

Dating someone I met in real life at the moment, a lot easier to explain to people how you met... There still seems to be a bit of a stigma to downloading women off the internet.

There was absolutely mental ginger Icelandic bird. If I was single I'd have bought her fluffy kittens and sung to her homespun poetry.

9inch meat nails.

And Schlong..

Are these the same thing?

"is expecting a ban"

Have skipped most of the replies. I'm with my partner Louise for 18 months now, met through POF. Had been on a few random dates before, there are definitely a few nut jobs out there 😆

All going well, living together, active together, she even bought an MTB last year!

You git Hora, you edited that..

Now I look like the 😈 one..

..had a quick glance on POF- Jesus theres ALOT that I'd consider contacting 😆

had a quick glance on POF- Jesus theres ALOT that I'd consider contacting

Problem is that statement leaves two possibilities:

a) the women on POF [b]are[/b] actually lovely

or

b) Hora has absolutely [b]no[/b] standards whatsoever

And i think we all know which of those two possibilities is more likely hey! 😉

So let me get this straight, the three date rule:
If you get them into bed before the 3rd date then you're both slags.
If you don't get them into bed before the 3rd date then you're both considered gay. Heads you win, tails I lose.

maxtorque I wasn't searching for oompah loompah blonde's though.

matttromans. I'm going to sound like a prude here but if I was on dating site and the girl expected to be asked for sex by the third date I'd walk. I'd go on a dating site looking for someone to be with/date. I'd think she didn't think much to what she was doing/wanted.

If I was going on a dating site purely looking for 'fun' then fair play.

Plus - I've heard this before- people who have profile pics with children in them (why?) Or talk about cats repeatidly in their profile. Who cares? What next talk about interests being walking, breathing and talking? Is that the sum of their parts?

@ hora - female nutters have cats, it's in the rules. However not all cat owners are nutters.

And if they bring a cat along on a third date...

I love cats and dogs but If I wrote (guessing):

Hey, I'm 39 and I'd consider myself to be in fairly good condition for year/mileage. My dog Burt is my wingman in life. Burt goes everywhere with me- to the pub and we love to snuggle up infront of forums on an evening together. I like cars and I like going out drinking, sometimes Burt can't come but some pubs do let him in.

You'd read that and think 'GET A LIFE'.

Cat Owner = Nutter. Fact. Sorry, no exceptions. Any woman that is so lonely and so stupid that she'll open up her home to one of those vile, disease-ridden creatures should be left firmly on the shelf. Fact.

Oh, yes, that reminds me. Obviously, I've only ever seen women's profiles.
But the one, universal, maddening, comment that always gets posted when women fill out the "About me" section.

"Likes to laugh"

WTF ?, of course you like to laugh, we all do. So what are you actually telling me.

Solo - I've taken 'likes to laugh' as a code for 'so hideously dull and uninteresting that they can't find any form of amusement in their own miserable existence and therefore will require you to provide it for them'....This code is normally at the end of about a 1 line description which includes 'likes to go for drinks with friends and have nights in'....could be wrong though.

Matt.
yes, maybe something like that, I worked that out. But its the utter silliness of that phrase.

Anyway.

Carry on !.

I've dated a number of nutters - well - about 80% of my ex's can be clinically classified as a nutters

However, not all of them owned a cat - maybe 40% or less

The current one does and she's a bit cookie 🙂

There's an awful lot of nutter-calling on here.

One man/woman's nutter is another's perfect match, if you ask me. Just because they're not right for you doesn't mean they're not right for someone out there. It's just about finding the right one for you (yes, yes, says the smug married)

Couldn't agree more redwoods 🙂

(says the girl with a cat....)

Don't get me wrong - i bet I'm top of the list of girls ex-nutters for all of my ex's.... 🙂

Nutters????

A lad I work with uses a no strings, one night stand type site to find "fun girls". He met up with one, a few drinks, back to her place, she then takes the bread knife out of her handbag and puts it back in the knife block. At this point he said he was a little scared. But, being as it was the "little man" doing the thinking, he thought "well, it's got this far, so why not?"

So, they're now having a bit of "fun" on the sofa, when her BF bursts in from upstairs, he was asleep, gives him a few slaps before he manages to escape with some of his clothes, running down the street naked.

She contacted him again asking for another "date", only at his place. Not sure if she owned a cat though.

Now you're just showing off 😆

Confession:
I've never really understood some people's disproportionate hatred of cats. I've had them in the past and I know loads of people who still do.
❓

I like cats, I also like bikes but if I was writing a personal profile it would only have one word mention with no pictures.

"Likes to laugh"

Pretty bad but not as bad as

"Likes nights out, but also nights in on the sofa with a DVD"

I don't have any experience of dating sites - I think it would annoy my wife. But I have another piece of map japery which pre-dates the internet.

Funnily enough, drawn by a cartoonist who was quite keen on cats.

Weirdly, some people on dating sites are not just looking for dates, but for life-partners. Hence their profiles are not mere "adverts" to attract sex-pests and time-wasters.

For example: I would make a point of droning on about my cycling habit. The number of "bites" would be usefully reduced to those women who don't mind; women whom I could tolerate. Or none at all, in which case none of my time has been wasted.

From my experience size 10 is actually her shoe size, her dress size hasnt been made by Millets as of yet. Called one for a chat. She said she had lied about certain aspects of her details. Seems a very common one that everyone wants a micro 8 wearing lass. I agreed and put the phone down......... 😉
All women are mad, its just how much madness you want to put up with to want to live with them......

Date at the fairground every time was it?

Had a great date last night, she is wonderful. However, when I asked her about her plans for today she told me she's off to the coast to walk along the beach, she then went on to ask if I had any beaches near me.

I live near Birmingham

I live near Birmingham

You didn't regale her with tales of Birmingham's famous canal network (more canals than Venice) then? Sure you could have found a beach (OK, mudbank) somewhere along it. 😉

Missed out there Houns.

Ha ha yes, the infamous Brum Beach

It's been nine years so I think I can post this now...

*deep breath*

My divorce from ex-MrsPJM had come through and I was living the single life while lodging with a mate of mine and whilst dabbling with a well known dating site I contacted a lass who looked like my type. She was a slow burner, but we seemed to get on well so I persuaded her to come out on a date with me. I drove over to her place to pick her up and whilst waiting at the lights, my car decided to go toes up and die by the side of the road. I had two choices, either phone for a tow and cancel or see the date through and pick it up in the morning. She seemed up for the meal and volunteered to drive me. I'd left my car in a very safe part of town and off we went.

The meal went superbly, the conversation flowed and we had a good time. I didn't want to chance blowing it at suggesting some "fun" so I let her offer to drive me home. We got to my mate's place when it all began to come undone.

"Can I possibly use your loo? I'm bursting for a wee!"

My mate was an absolute slob - we're talking mushrooms growing on the door, rampant mould and carpets that hadn't been vacuumed in months. He also had a very over-friendly Springer Spaniel. What could I do? I couldn't exactly say "No, I'd far rather you use the truck stop just up the road instead" could I? So I warned her that my mate was a complete animal and hoped that I could whisk her past the grubbier parts of the house.

She'd only just stepped past the door when the Spaniel bounded up and rubbed his streaming snotter on my date's black cashmere coat. The look on her face told me all I needed to know, so I hurried her up the stairs and pointed her in the direction of the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later, she reappeared minus the dogsnot but was looking very furtive. It was clear that she wanted to go straight home so I walked her back to her car and briefly kissed her goodnight and bade her farewell, not expecting to ever see her again.

With my tail between my legs, I wandered back into the house and went for a much needed whizz, to be assaulted by what can only be described as the most virulent and obnoxious stench I've ever encountered. Angrily, I stormed downstairs and confronted my mate.

"You absolute animal! You knew I had company tonight, couldn't you have waited until she left before going for a turnout?"

He shot me a look and I realised the awful truth.

Did you see her again?

(I don't think there are any women who have nice smelling poo btw)
