    It's strange how you can go days without a message and then all of a sudden you get bombarded. Seriously, what's up with that?

    Oooh, sent my first message on one of these sites now though. The tension. The fear of being rejected. The anticipation.

    the chances are that they wont bother their holes replying, you could write the introdso uction worthy of a pulitzer prize and they still dont answer.

    so dont worry about being rejected, it is unlikely

    Well this is the message I have just received from someone that I replied to with a thanks no thanks message (not in those words)

    'take it u have seen pic and like all the Irish women judged me soley on what I look like not on me as a person ye Isish women are all the same ye need to get a lesson in manners and how to treat people and not so shallow and judgemental u know they say people who judge others on looks should take a look at themselfs first ye no oil painting ye selfs and people who judge are very shallow and narrow minded and no proper upbringing'

    Now - He isn't my type anyway and lives in Cork which is no use to me but with a reply like that I think I will go with ignoring from now on!! ;)

    What a twat. I can see how the online dating thing might get frustrating after a while, but there is no need to be so rude, and to someone you don't even know! With an attitude like that I don't think he is going to get very far (but he can always blame the women for that :rolleyes:

    Seen that kind of thing on profiles listed as occasional smokers or non smoking and they had up to four photos with a cig in their hands. Reading further down, they were looking for an honest guy and fed up with liars!Just accept that out there are some not very bright liars:pac:

    lol, should reply to that "Yes making assumptions as to why I turned you down, and accusing me of being shallow, isn't at all judgmental or narrow minded in it itself".

    I don't understand anyone replying angrily like that; perhaps they think whinging at someone will get them a date :pac:


    I've been chatting to a fair few people on OkCupid and other sites in the last while, and have a couple of meet ups; most of it is just friendly chat though, so I wouldn't put the meets as 'dates'.
    I'm not so great/knowledgeable at pushing things past the 'friendly chat' type thing though, but I'm more than happy to just meet and chat with a few people that way for a while, without looking for anything in particular :)

    You think that's bad? I've seen a couple of profiles where the girls had pics of themselves being licked by guys. Now that's a MAJOR turn-off.

    Or there would be a photo with two people in it - an attractive person and a not so attractive person.

    This wouldn't be a turn off for me at all, plenty of people pull funny faces when a camera comes out so I don't see this as being rude at all.

    Not with that defeatist attitude anyway, I can forgive the french fancy incidents, I can overlook the missed opportunity of witty banter but I just can't respect a quitter. :pac:

    I don't do it myself but some friends do and they just happened to pull a funny face. I wouldn't read into it too much.

    Well I have photographic evidence of ye pulling the whole "sticking tongue out in photo" so you should indeed be supportive of such folks :p

    How come you didn't ask for his number?!

    Maybe send him a mail to say you had a nice time on the date. An email might be sent to him to say you sent him a message.
