    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 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?

    The desperate ones with nothing to say 😆  Yeah, you’re “supposed” to ignore them 😉 Don’t know what they expect really. I’m not sure about the dick pic, I’ve never sent one, but maybe there is a rule. As there is for having a pic of you holding a fish in your profile, apparently.

    I wouldn’t be too hasty to write off people. Why not meet up? It’s just a date, you could hit it off, you never know

    You can tell a lot from a “hi” 😉

    I’ve decided there’s not enough disappointment and rejection in my life so I’ve signed back up to Bumble.  A few days of that should put me back into the “single and happy with that” camp.

    Not heard of Bumble…  “only female users can make the first contact with matched male users”

    Sounds like a lot of empty browsing… *sigh*

    Well she also failed really badly on the criteria I used to reject the other one – I guess if somebody hot sent me that then I’d at least try messaging back to see if they had anything more to say, but as I pointed out I’m also shallow. Though I’m interested in finding somebody who I can spend time with doing active things and she clearly failed completely there, it wasn’t just the “hi” (though as dezb points out it does tell a lot – I’ve sent a few first messages and responses and it’s not hard to write a bit more based on somebody’s profile).

    Not heard of Bumble…  “only female users can make the first contact with matched male users”

    From my extremely limited experience so far that might actually work for me, maybe I’ll give it a try!

    Though regarding the date I do have, it seems the only time I can see my kids this weekend is when we were thinking of meeting and she has her 2.5yo son the other day. She has suggested meeting when she has her son, and I’m just pondering whether that would be a bad idea – was only expecting to meet and chat, I’m guessing a kid that young might not be a big problem (though might demand lots of her attention)?

    There are women on STW. Whether they are ladies or not is a moot point.
