The first time I joined to meet someone because a woman down the road said she met her boyfriend through this site and she still lives with him. Then I discovered the forums and I became more interested in them than the dating side. Now Im here purely to make friends and chat here.

I joined up because it seems a bit small minded to think my ideal partner might one day just happen to be in front of me. She might not even live in my county, or my region. This place seems great for a wide range of contact with different people.

I joined a few charging dating sites a few years back in a very mature (not!) reaction to finding out my (then) partner had been going along to speeddating events with his ex-wife and had joined dating direct at a point we'd had a row. When we finally broke up about 18 months ago, I kept the memberships going but my heart really wasn't in it and I wasn't dating. About 4 months ago now, started feeling as if I might actually really like to meet someone now, but was unemployed due to the credit crunch... a friend told me about this site and so I joined ...

I agree with this. If your ideal partner lived near you the chances are you might have met them by now. What a great opportunity it is to be able to interact with people that you never would meet otherwise, why not take advantage of it. Pity so many folk still restrict things so they only speak to those in their immediate area.

I was advised to try a free dating site by a friend of mine. He was going on regular dates from here. Sadly i'm yet to break my PoF virginity, but hey! love the forums. Right bunch of nutters, but some interesting debates!

An old friend recommended the site to me a few months ago. I haven't had much luck so far, unless you define luck by how many women you can get to either totally ignore you or block you in mid-conversation. As for the forums, unless a thread title looks interesting enough to check out, I don't bother with them.

A lovely friend recommended it when I was bored with a mutual site that we used. I went on a few POF dates then discovered the forums, which I watched for a while before I dipped a paw.


Now I think swim like the rest of them, and who said cats were afraid of water

Split up from my tw@tty ex, had an accident which limited my mobility for a while so I was virtually housebound due to the stairs, so to kill the time and stem my boredom came online to chat to you lovely people Got better and still here for the forums and now running the Wolverhampton meet nights in an attempt to get my social life up and running again And maybe even find a sane man who knows what he wants and is willing to make a long term commitment and not just want a one night stand or nsa relationship <<--- Applications that way !!

It took me about a year to realise there were forums on this here site.

MAN I AM SLOW!

Or some might say weary of mind.....I prefer that, it makes me sound less stupid lol

Erm, but yer, I suppose i'm here to also share my views via the forum. I love to vent my absolutely valuable opinions and keep millions entertained!

Or in other words, this place keeps my delusional mind occupied

I like that too, I might have to remember that for when I get tired of blaming blondness.

Hahahahaha...I guess you were a little weary of mind.

Actually, I would like to just skip the whole dating crap and just meet my new significant other and have him mailed to my door. :)

I'm often weary of mind these days.....it might have something to do with hardcore mind bending drugs i'm taking! Namely sanatogen and paracetamol. I'm totally like out of the film Trainspotting

Reality is an illusion brought on by a lack of drugs.
