Okay this might sound mad, but some day we should organise a charity event and auction off the various men of tGC for dates. It worked in the Simpsons.

You know you could be onto something there!

So we're finished arguing about kids, lets bring up this one again??

I JOKE!!!!

Lon Dubh has arranged a date with this lad, their third i think, she does not want to go through with it. Should she mail him, or just stand him up?

Mail is the best option. Not to turn up to an arranged meet is even more rude than the no reply.

They probably hadn't read all the preceeding posts. No I would never stand anyone up, no matter what I thought of them. Sent the e-mail, and like Gillo said it is not like a proper break-up or anything, but still hard to do as I am a big softie.

Ah he'll get over it!

Oh I had read your posts, mine about the "thanks but no thanks" emails wasn't connected to your situation. I was just using Galvasean's post as a spring board for my post.

Of course you all know when my number came up an intense bidding war between Maguined and Fewcifur would ensue, resulting in buck buck$ for the charity.
Hmm, perhaps that could be an idea for the Santa Strike Force? Who do we ask about that?

Well, they let me do stand up comedy on a stage in front of 160 people, so they seem pretty open mined :cool:

yeah, but i think when you move on to selling people, it might be a different game to consider.

Yeah, that was what I had thought you might have meant. Yes I can see from people's posts here why they would not reply to people they have never met on the online dating sites as it seems to sometimes lead to more and more e-mails from the same person trying to argue them into a date.

One thing I can't understand about pof is the amount of absolutely caustic profiles on it, some profiles I've read, you'd want to be mad to contact the author.

Is it the same for girls, like do you find guys have very defensive profiles up???

Panthro · 13-06-2011 12:52am

I'm after getting my first private mail in AGEEEEEEEES on OKC, it was a bit of a one liner though, will I bother answering, ara I'll decide tomorrow!:D

no not at all I don't think. i've looked through girls ones, and by jebus they're scary. have seen some **** mens ones, but that's generally just from text speak (shudders) or lack of information, normal things, but not from defensiveness like you'd see with some girls profiles.

We're not selling them, just portioning off their time in exchange for charitable donations [/loophole] :pac:
Of course there would have to be stipulations to prevent mad stuff from happening. I've never heard of this being done in Ireland. Maybe it's an American thing?
I just remembered it was in Frasier too

i'm not knocking it, i think it'd be mad to have something like that, but i'm just saying i can't really see it happening. but go for it anyway!

Alright, Galvasean has a new pet project!

HellFireClub · 13-06-2011 1:01am

I saw this charity thing being done in a company I used to work in, basically if you volunteered, you became a house slave for a day! So there would be an auction day and you'd be bid for, and whoever bid the most got to take you home and got you to do the gardening for the day or sort out the garage or something along those lines... Nice way to meet someone!

stupidusername · 13-06-2011 1:04am

i know it's not something i'd like to do, but how would ye feel about it?

If some cracker put herself up for a spot of house cleaning, I'm sure I could borrow from the Trocaire Box!

Shane St. permanently banned.

For anyone else reading that isnt familiar with tGC,a VERY dim view is taken in relation to people posting their phone numbers or personal contact details,particularly when they post looking for "a bit of fun".

On to Plan B for me so.

I have to say I have found OKC to be the most disappointing site of them all. Maybe people just dont know about it but there doesn't seem to be many on it - well my age anyway! :rolleyes:

parker kent · 13-06-2011 11:58am

If you want a bit of fun, this is THE place to look, not TGC http://www.claralara.com/ :pac:

Anyway...Dovies what age group were you looking for?

40ish I guess - Im 43.
Everyone on OKC seems to be much younger.

Yeah I think OKC probably suits 25-35 best. I've heard people mention connecting singles as being good for your age range. I've no idea myself, but a few have said it here.

would you try match.com?

stargazer 68 · 13-06-2011 12:11pm

Not convinced the paid sites are any better than the free ones to be honest.

yeah i know, i wasn't saying it cause it's paid though, i just thought there was more likely to be a more suitable age group there.
