When you rate someone do they know you've rated them?
if you do it on their profile they do, if you do on quickmatch and rate the person either 4 or 5 they get an email saying "someone chose you" then you can go and do quickmatch and if you both rate each other 4 or 5 they'll let you know you like each other. But if you rate less than that they won't know.Howard the Duck wrote: »i think the girls are confusing creepiness with laziness I'm about 70% lazy 30% creepy myself
Laziness makes sense, maybe creepy was the wrong word, probably putting it in terms of myself, i never click the "yes" button when it asks if I want them to know I've added them.
To my knowledge none of those lads who've favourited me have ever got round to mailing me though.0 -

Is it just me or do all, if not the majority of women on dating sites have serious issues or a lot of baggage ??
In the women i've met up with i can only say there's only been one who had serious issues. I won't say i've been hugely prolific on my dating either, but one out of the handful i've been out with is no where near a majority, probably about 10%.
Which is probably lower than women you might meet up with in a club/pub situation.
And probably a lot lower than the baggage us blokes on the sites have!!

Think I have exhausted all possibilities on OKC and am now just checking the new joiners to the site.
Is anyone using Match.com, is it worth paying for? I joined up last night but didn't realised you can't read mails etc without paying for subscription....0 -

Dunno about match, never tried it, but AnotherFriend isn't the worst. They make you wait to reply to mails if you are not a paid user and have (very poor) limits in place to stop you giving contact details to someone as a non paid member. But they are simple to get around!! 0 -

Stay away from match.com it is crap.
The site is slow and clunky, the selection on it is rubbish as well. Closing your account is next to impossible and they will do an automatic renewal of your subscription you will end up paying more than you intended originally.0 -

I've just switched in the other direction, was on match and now on OKC. If you do decide to pay, the big advantage I found was that there didn't seem to be a big overlap between the guys on both sites. The price doesn't bother me - same price as a few drinks with a much higher likelihood of getting a few dates compared to a night out.
The other people who commented on cancelling / automatic subscription renewal have a point, match really do try to keep you once you join. But if you read the small print when signing up there shouldn't be a problem. (I always read the small print, it's one of my favourite hobbies. No, I don't get how I'm still single either.

Definitely suggest soon. There seems to be a statute of limitations on people's interest once contact is made.
I think I've scared her off. I asked her if she might want to meet up sometime and not a word for almost 3 days; she's been online everyday. Prior to that message we were exchanging messages almost daily. I wouldn't mind but she was the one to contact me initially. Bloody wimmen! 0 -
