Author connormo Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 Ya gotta admit though , get in shape, man l saw very very few girls on mine anywhere near in shape . 9 out of 10 had- a few extra pounds on their profile which usually seem to mean pretty damn heavy. So ya def' don't have to bother with that one in my area. Funny though how you said keep it short they don't read it anyway. l found the exact same thing and they were always asking stuff l'd already mentioned. Changed my thing a few times actually but the best one was only 3-4 lines, heaps of interest. PS , conn, people are just fascinated about dating stuff, particularly the OL stuff l think so anything gets lots of replies. Haha yea lotta chubbers or uggos online for sure. I mean everyone has their own preferences but I'm a picky mofo. Like Seinfeld says: 95% of the population is UNDATEABLE! I feel like that number increases further on online dating... even though I hate myself and have self esteem issues I know I'm moderately attractive. I feel bad for some ppl on there because unfortunately 90% of people base it on looks and many people aren't willing to give any chance if they aren't drooling over the person (again, back to the fact that there is so much competition out there and alot of people make profiles just 'for fun' aka: give me attention and waste your time)
coolheadal Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I don't want any married women.. They think it's okay to have their cake (husband) and you the pie. Then there are the crazy ones mostly mental unstable an etc. Those are there like flies.. You should really think about what you want and then put that up. Picture with a smile instead of one without it. The women are very picky and had a lot of bad experiences. So you have to deal with those also. To many women have slept around also. Sure don't want to deal with those either. After a few months gone by you find out the women have some hidden secrets. 1. Married 2. More than 5 Kids 3. They're not really into you at all! 4. They're broke 5. They live with the Ex-husband or Ex-boyfriend 6. They keep their house messy 7. They don't like to bath too often 8. They're unhealthy (always eating non-stop) 9. They like to use you 0. They will not let you into their apartment, town-house, condo, trailer A lot them are seeing someone else and still say they're available to date? Wasting your time to be with some a woman. Edited April 9, 2017 by coolheadal
OatsAndHall Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 3 simple rules to online dating. 1.get in shape then show off that body with a tank top minimum. no shirtless pics unless on a beach or at a pool. 2.put as little text as possible in profile. Women don't read it anyways and just look at your pics. 3. don't take it seriously and make them put in some effort. I actually had the opposite experience when I added to my profile bio. I've described it before but I changed it to a rambling diatribe with sarcastic references to movies and music. I got more responses after I did that. It also attracted women with a sarcastic sense of humor. 1
scubasteve Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I'm going to invent a singles friendship app for locals only. No pressure, no contrived goals, no expectations, no event to attend or thing to do, just people who want to meet new people and interact. In fact, the pushing or romance or sex would be strictly prohibited on the site. And singles only! I think thats a much better and more natural way for people too meet each other without pressure and if something happens, it happens. People would be more open to that and less quicker to reject. It's called bumble someone beat you go it 1

Lol... This is the way old-school chat rooms were and I loved them. Get in a local chat room, talk to people for awhile, send someone a private message and move from there. I met my first "real" girlfriend when I was fifteen over a AOL chat-room. She went to a different high school, I met her on in a chat room and we saw a "Seven" that weekend. And, this is why OLD has been such a disappointment for me. Meeting people through technological means used to be a fun, laid back experience.
Popsicle Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 It's called bumble someone beat you go it No, that's a dating app.
CptInsano Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 No, that's a dating app. I thought you could switch Bumble into BFF mode. (Never used it myself, just read the announcement last year.) 1
scubasteve Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 No, that's a dating app. It's a dating app and a friend app so.... it has a bff mode
Popsicle Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 It's a dating app and a friend app so.... it has a bff mode That's too close for comfort.
Kisskiss56 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I met my bf on one of those sites you mentioned and we have been together for a couple of years. Dont give up! There is hope! I was single for a long time before I met him, and seemed like i wasnt going to find someone that was genuine.
kendahke Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I have taken a more brutally honest approach to my bios so maybe that had something to do with it That's a fine line there. You can be honest and not bludgeon people at the same time. For me, it's a turn off when I have to read someone's profile post and they're lecturing me. I'm not looking for a father. We've all been disappointed in the romance department--no one is special in that sense. You just do a better job weeding out the scrubs because there are more scrubs than there are good, genuine people who want what you want. Where I am blunt a.f. is with what I call my "PSA" directed at scammers--and that's where I go hard. Good, genuine men aren't going to be put off by that because they're dealing with the same BS from scammers posing as women. It's a colossal crap shoot using OLD. I started a account in late january after being off of it for 3 years and have been weeding out scammers this whole time until last week when someone actually read my profile and asked me specific things mentioned in it. He said that he wants to borrow my PSA for his profile (it's that bad for people over the age of 45). That got my attention quickly and we began messaging one another. We met yesterday and had a really nice 5 hour date and before it was over, he asked to see me next Sunday afternoon.

There is one already, it's called Meetup. Dating apps tend to run hot and cold. I can have three dates in one week and then followed by zero dates for a month.

Women my age are more interested in what that guy has to say because chances are, he no longer looks like his profile pictures... and a belly in a tank top with spindly legs and arms is just so... ....no If a man has a really well written profile with lots of humor, I appreciate that effort. I run a google search on it and if it comes back clean, I'll message them. Perhaps that's the luxury of being older--we are more prone to consider a whole package rather than what they look like. Looks fade. 1
