A lot of these posters seem a bit rough but Ive been about for a while on these forums and theyre big fluffy teddy bears really! ( winking icon thingy )
As for the oiginal topic - Im going to say it for the 100th time - on your profile you can put whatever you want on it!
And yes - even if it is a pic of your cvock ( winking icon thingy ) just dont expect to get laid - unless you are looking for a gay lover!
Sparkly i like your posts i always enjoy reading them , you make perfect sense and always add a bit of lighthearted fun in them .:) | |

I quite like the white knight mentality actually,
Really? you like being patronised and agreed with just because you are female? because that's what white knighting is all about...however i don't think the poster in question was white knighting.
it's a lot more attractive than seeing a bunch of regular posters jumping on someone who dares to disagree with a post one of them made
People disagree all the time, it's debating. As long as it's within the rules then cool beans. IMO some of the livelier topics with strong debate actually encourage more people to post.
Seems to happen a lot which may explain why so few people do contribute.
Actually this is one of the most welcoming forums i've been on...there's worse out there! What about the newbie who ballsed up with a topic yesterday....quite a few people were offering him advice and trying to help him. | |

Cheers! Nope I'm not white knighting just responding to what I see and if my point of view is different to others I'm not afraid to say it.
As in all walks of life you'll get a cross section of people and just have to accept that you'll not like or agree with a fair few of them.
Mind you I had to laugh at the comment that most women on here don't represent normal women! They say flattery will get you every where! I'll have to tell a few of my females friends (real ones) that use this site! I'm sure they'd love to hear that & I can think of 1 or 2 that would eat him alive! ;) | |

But you don't simply accept it. You call them names or accuse them of being from a different age. | |

Call who names? Mmmm funny I don't recall doing that at all. I said you have to accept you'll not like or agree with them I didn't say I wouldn't tell them what I thought of their views. And yes some people do still have out-dated views to life and other people, be it sexist, racist or any other ist you care to think of. Personally I just think their lives will be poorer for thinking like that. That said it's a free country (almost) and people are allowed their own opinions, I just don't have to agree with them. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 6:33:55 AM | You referred to someone living in the 70's which in my opinion is pretty much the same as calling someone out of touch, be it by a name or not.
Either way, you've chipped in with a derogatory comment rather than just accept that someone has a different view to yours. And I would say you're comment is actually unjustified, as there were plenty of viewpoints in the 70's too. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 7:02:44 AM | Done to death i know, but the only photos i notice are the ones that are clearly old. i met someone that i considered to have a very enlightened and open attitude to life and thought i would get on well with, until i realised that the photos were nut only slightly out of date but quite ancient.
Top Tip: Get them on facebook and check when the photos were added before meeting them not after, would have saved the dissappointment on meeting, and not spending the entire time together wondering where the other discrepancies are.
Pretty hard to be yourself when the person has represented a lie straight from the start.
Other than that photos are something i only glance at at first, to tick the shallow box, then pay more attention to if i like the profile. | |

And.....if you add someone on FB you get to read between the lines a bit and find out more about them. The thing I like best is that you can see how their friends interact with them. And if their friends seem to genuinely like them
I added two people lately....one had friended 32 women and no men this month so I decided he was starting a harem.
The other bloke kept putting up statuses sayin stuff like "FAAAARRRRRKKKK I'M BORED" and "FAAAARRRKKK THIS SH*T" and "ANOTHER SH*TE DAY" So niether of them were keepers.....lol ;-) | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 7:53:02 AM | | So what's the etiquette for asking for more photos? I mean if there's one and she's sitting on a wall 10m away wearing sunglasses (just a random hypothetical example I picked from the top of my head)? I want to know if her mouth really is distorted, or whether it's a jpeg artifact. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 8:05:28 AM | Just ask for more photos to see how they look in different scenarios, if thats what you're after
Re: FB - i once befriended a few women to learn more about them and found that one had a mad family feud going on, so I cancelled a 'date' with her and defriended her (she wasn't my 'type' anyway) | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 8:06:55 AM | Jackner - I agree with you to a point about seeing how friends interact but since 85% of the people on my FB are actually my daughters friends that I don't really interact with at all so I'm not sure what that would tell any one. Funnily enough, people that I am closest with, I have never even thought about adding to FB (apart from my daughter). I only joined because my daughter put up her wedding pics details. The others are people that I know from the past but am not close enough to them now to send emails or phone.
Actually, you got me thinking and I suppose anyone looking at my FB could confirm that I don't use text speak, no bad language and that my pics are all genuine. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 8:08:43 AM | So what's the etiquette for asking for more photos?
nothing wrong with just asking for more, if they're genuine and have nothing to hide, they will happily share more. When I was on here before, I would exchange quite a few including bad ones, gives a general idea of a true representative. I think we can all look at the same photo and see something different. I had a couple of dates, with people who didnt seem to have recent pics and when I met them I knew why! | |

Cheers chick ditto ;)
Im not sure about making perfect sense amongst this madness though lol!
@msg 52
Too many people get wound up on this forum - a complete misunderstanding of what "debate" means!
Either by taking things too personally or getting too personal!
No need for it in my eyes - this is supposed to be fun not an all out war!
But Imust admit I like to get the popcorn out every now and again ...............

Posted: 4/28/2012 9:16:57 AM | I've been having a right old giggle reading this.....I've never seen men and women clash so much as on this site and, considering it's a dating site, it's a bit ironic but very amusing.
Maybe I'm alone here, but I find that the content of the profile is more important than the photo and would and have spoken to people without a picture at all if they've sounded interesting. The type of man I go for is so rare that I'll talk to anyone who might even appear to come close. I've spent my whole life trying to find him, so I don't put that much onus on what he looks like if he has the things I need.
I only have one picture, because I hate taking my own and all of my other pics are with family or friends who I don't want to plaster all over a dating site. I actually tried cropping a few to add here the other day, but it wouldn't let me because the dimensions were wrong apparently!
I agree with Jackner, my FB account has hundreds of up to date pics and I'm quite happy to add people there if I'm interested. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 9:42:22 AM | Wafta - I think a lot of people drift onto the Forums because they become disallusioned with the 'dating' side of the site although I am not saying they have given up on it totally and there are the ones who have met their match but still enjoy a good debate. People here do tend to be those who can string a whole sentence together and have opinions that they enjoy putting forward and enjoy reading other peoples opinions even if I don't agree with them. In that situation, there will always be clashes but that's not a bad thing. What would be bad is if everyone just agreed so that they came across as sweet and nice.
I have plenty of pics on my profile and a number of interests but I doubt if there is much else to encourage anyone in what I have actually written. It used to be a lot different but I deleted that one when I realised that hardly anyone reads it. I get messages from guys who won't date smokers - I can't make it much clearer in my profile. I get messages from guys who live an hour + away when I say that I don't use public transport.
I do always check a profile and like you, have chatted with people who don't have a picture if the profile is interesting. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 10:50:04 AM | I've been here over 7 years gemini, if I thought it was a bad thing I'd have gone years ago.
I was merely pointing out that it's quite amusing that the men and women here disagree so much! Not something I haven't noticed or commented on before. | |

Not at all guys! She's curvy in the right places and has a nice sexy body! My ex is/was stick thin by the time I left her which was a shame as an ex-model she used to have a great figure! | |
