“She turns up. In real life she’s a good 2 stone heavier than her profile pics but she’s very pretty so I let it pass”

Can’t think why you were single….

What would you do then? Tell her?

Donald Trump quotes R us

Well answer the question. Why put something on display if you don’t want others to look at it?

Well it has to be said this thread has thoroughly depressed me! I wasn’t looking forward to the experience but I certainly wasn’t thinking it would be a lost cause. Now I’m some what dreading it not being as simple this time!

Perhaps people do this to be 100% clear with potential matches that they have family to save future disappointments?

Assuming it's like most other sites that link to your facebook like STRAVA, then it's just trawling through all your old profile pics.

Not on tinder, met my OH the old fashioned way, pissed in a bar/nightclub.

Just be ‘normal’. Don’t talk about sex, don’t send dick pix, don’t post gym/bathroom mirror selfies. I’m on POF and tinder but use it to pass the time, must be someone amazing to stand out for me to get in touch. According to photo evidence on tinder the top of Pen Y Fan must be full of single Women

In 2018 those things are normal. I think you mean be old fashioned...

don’t send dick pix

Is this really a thing? Reading the articles in papers about dating you'd think that every other bloke on dating apps sends one as the standard intro...

Also, does it have to be your own, or can you just download one and send that instead?

According to female friends it's all too common, yes.  Also, given my username which I've used for 30 years and now means something completely different in modern parlance, unfortunately I can attest first-hand that this happens as well.

So you're saying that STW males members send you dick pics? Can you put up a gallery and a list of user names; we could have a competition, the person who can match the most usernames to pics wins a T-shirt or an all expenses paid trip to Todmordon...

If you are a young lady these days a large percentage of opening introductions will involve said dick pick, along with a request for nudes in return, asking if they want to smash and if they like being choked.

I suppose that's what happens when young boys are raised by their games consoles and unlimited hardcore pornography.

Madness.

😂😂😂 you poor sod! My other half’s best mate is currently on the dating apps scene; that group of friends LOVE dickpix. But not for the reasons that the sender was hoping, I’m fairly sure...

STW members (ho ho) no, thank the makers.  But I use the same moniker on other platforms, some of which allow the sending of random messages to strangers.

For example, I don't "use" it particularly, but I have an account on Snapchat.  I occasionally get random conversations that go like this:

HornyTeen99: Hi

Me: Uh, hello.

HornyTeen99: sends dick pic

Me: I'm sure that's very nice, but mine's bigger.

HornyTeen99: [lots of angry messages]

("HornyTeen99" is a random name I just made up, apologies to the real HornyTeen99 if he's out there.)

Hello OP, have you decided what gender you're going to be yet?

I'm HornyTeen99 on Plenty of Fish, I'm female but can you send you a dick pic if that floats your boat.

If you are going to send a dick pic, make sure you have a child hold your penis while you photograph it.  Their small hand will make you look huge.

Surely this is something Snapchat has a filter for?

Maybe put a rabbit nose and ears on it?  Women love that stuff if their profile pictures are to be believed.

Quite shocked some on here want a relationship with another human , not a keyboard and screen, and just as shocked when i realized some actually ride bikes as well.

Speaking as an "Anxious-Avoidant", I ensure I only date online, do all my socialising on FB, and take my holidays on Google Earth. Turns out a lot cheaper too.

So four weeks on and how is everyone getting on. Been on POF a week now and already had some right crackers ‘sh1t.... we gotta meet’ errrrr really? Been offered a threesome if I was feeling ‘adventurous’ and lots of people incapable of reading a profile and messaging despite not having a SINGLE thing in common.

Seeing as I only came back on STW to check if a profile I found on POF was who I thought it was on here I thought this the appropriate thread to post on (given she's posted on it, so it seems I was right - it was a fairly distinctive username - I'm not naming names, but probably not too hard to guess!) Only been on it a few days and not been very active - having sent out a couple of messages myself which have been ignored, I had 5 women contact me first (2 of whom I've ignored), one of whom I've arranged a date with. She seems almost worryingly keen, though it may just be that I'm a rare normal guy (in the right way - I'm definitely not normal in lots of ways which don't involve being creepy and point that out in my profile) and she contacted me because of something unusual I mentioned in my profile which we have in common but I really didn't expect to result in a date! Kind of wish I'd read this thread first and arranged a date a bit sooner rather than chatting for a couple of days.

Am I supposed to have multiple chats on the go at once and arrange dates with several different women? I had 3 chats on the go for a while, but I abandoned one (it was fun but she lives miles away and I suspect only contacted me to chat because she was drunk) the other one didn't respond to me last message despite it seemingly going well and us having lots in common. Though that felt a bit tricky to cope with and TBH I'd prefer to only chat/date one at a time (who knows I may have struck lucky first time...)

BTW I do still ride bikes and rode one yesterday, but it's kind of a rare thing for me now, hence not sure about contacting the STW lady in question...

You’re supposed to do whatever you want to do. There aren’t any rules.

I would definitely recommend keeping the back and forth chat to a minimum and actually meeting. As I’ve no doubt said in this ere thread, meeting in person is completely different from chatting online.

Oh good, so I don't have to send her a dick pic? This is all completely new to me - first time I've ever signed up to online dating - was quite surprised to get messages from women, hadn't realised that happened. Given I seem to be getting on well with the lady I'm meeting I'll hold off messaging anybody else then (sorry *********35 😉 ).

I did also get a "Hi" from somebody who I appear to have nothing in common with, despite making it clear in my profile the sort of person I'm looking for and her clearly not being it. One of the two I ignored (sadly the other sounded interesting in her profile and did match, but I didn't find her photos at all attractive and I'm shallow).

I would definitely recommend keeping the back and forth chat to a minimum and actually meeting. As I’ve no doubt said in this ere thread, meeting in person is completely different from chatting online.

I know all about that, having chatted online with somebody for a few months earlier this year - to be fair we did get on well when we met and I'd already met her in RL before asking her out, but it wasn't quite the same (though that wasn't why it ended, she was clearly still really into me after our last date - other reasons 🙁 )

Hi TJ - you still here?
