Have any of the guys on this site had much luck with dating?
Posted: 6/26/2009 1:16:40 AM
Unfortunately it has a lot to do with looks at the beginning. If youre a good looking guy then you get lots of attention. If youre not then you dont. Thats why people who dont put a pic up at all get little response. Unfair? Maybe but we all need to be attracted to the person we're intending to date. But as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so maybe one day ...

Hey I dunno now. A total stunner has just added me a favourite! And I do mean drop dead gorgeous.

Unfortunately the young lady in question is from New York.

Ain't life a ****.

Made my day though!

Depends on if good and bad luck are combined......

Im isolated on the IOW which kinda limits things, that 10 min ferry seems more of a problem than an hour down the motorway....but hey ho it is what it is.

So from the Island members, ive hada lots of chats, several dates that neither have clicked together on, but it gives us all a chance to practice our people skills so its never wasted time.

Besides its only got to work the once and lead to something, and your whole perspective on the time spent here will change instantly!.

Dude that's not the spirit of this site.

When you think of all the girls you see every day and everywhere you go.
Take out the ones already in relationships, those not looking, lesbians, the blind, the daft, those out of your age range. How many left! Bet it runs into thousands per month, or even more. How many of them do you date?

Well it's no different here: statistically for the two people to gel is at best unlikely, at worsted improbable and having a negative attitude probably takes it to almost impossible.

So methinks you are being unrealistic with your expectations of this site.

Much as I appreciate that some girls get dozens of messages a day and cant reply to them all I think that it would be polite to respond even if its just 'No thanks', if a guy has made an effort to send a quality message rather than just 'Hi babe'.

If a stranger smiled at you and said good morning to you as you were walking down the street, would you say hello back or just stick your nose in the air and ignore him.

Maybe the rules of good manners and politeness are just different in the cyber world

This makes speed dating look deep, ha, been on 8 days had 4 dates, but its hard work, 90% is on the pic, smiler pix are much better, went contacting a HF, dont approach direct use humor or go "deep".

Its been a humbling experience, getting knock backs from women I would not even date in the real world 45 yr olds with 4 kids who think they're Farah Forssett in the prime cause they get 20 messages a day.

Dont let it wreck your head, only do 20 mins a day, sent a dozen messages, then forget about it.

If a female does not want to speek after 1 week of contact, blow her out unless shes an exception.

It's not about what you think would be polite, it's about what the other person thinks is appropriate.

Apart from running the risk of getting abusive messages in return, replying is seen as opening up the lines of communication - why would you do that with someone you do not want to communicate with...

Why are you adding to the 20 messages a day? Why should they be grateful that your lowering your standards? maybe they can tell that your not serious.

Surely better to have one date with a lady your really interested in than loads of women that your just using for your own self gratification?

Did you miss this step out deliberately on you own profile just to make us uglies feel better?

Thanks for that... we need all the help we can get.

And what's this speed dating thing. I've selected the 'no drugs' option on my bit. Should I change that?

Help at last eh Pud?

I don't understand why you would mail someone that you have no interest in. Seems a no brainer to me.

Isn't this a contradiction...only doing 20 minutes a day, but hard work?? Are you sure you're being honest when you say you've been on 4 dates in 8 days?

smiler pix are much better,


So you went for the complete opposite look. That has to be the grumpiest expression I have ever seen.

So tell us all why you messaged these women if you think they are so awful and would not date them in the real world? Then which world are you in now since it is apparently not the real world?


If a female does not want to speek after 1 week of contact, blow her out unless shes an exception.


So the exception gets pestered with more emails that she has to ignore. Lucky her. I wonder if you are not the sort to send an abusive reply to a polite 'no thanks' too.

Oh please don't I am so very tired of seeing shaven heads everywhere lately. I think long hair on a guy is one of the most attractive things ever and can't wait for fashion to get back to giving me something I can run my fingers through.

Unfortunatley,

Not had any luck as of yet, had a couple of chats but they never went to much. I guess being an 18yr old lad who's quite different from the usual club-going, street-crawling lot is both hard to find, but not wanted.

I know there are plenty of women in my area, just would they like the change?

Cant deny the site is quite addictive, for the first few days spent hours on here, got demoralised then changed my approach in what I said in messages. Its a distraction , gonna really to try to do 20 mins a day from now only.

I swear I have had 4 dates off here, got another for Tue, dont know if I can be arsed, would do a thread on the best approaches, best responses, being original with HFs etc, best pix to post etc, but there seems to be a lot of people who seem to want to knock on here, ie the Dating thread I done.

What a lucky girl.


but there seems to be a lot of people who seem to want to knock on here


But in the thread u just did u are knocking everyone else on here for not replying to you when they should be grateful as they are fat and 40, so not sure what this post is about?? maybe you could explain?

then why message them in the first place? and youre 40 yet youre spitting venom at women in their 40s as if they are "done and past it" yet act like u, urself at 40 are prime meat they should all be jumping on and grateful for ur attention.

Hey Dilleass

I loved your profile - made me laugh out loud.

But I can't send you a message as you want a pic first. What's that about?

Sort it out and we can compare misery tales. Or even compare favourite scenes from To Kill a Mockingbird. Or quote each other favourite Steinbeck passages.... The list is endless.

I've had no luck whatsoever.




Quite a few dates, but they were because of my wit, charm and charisma. (though I'd freely admit, not my looks!)
