With all this talk of original first messages that stand out, it's almost making Online Dating seem like a marketing campaign.

Missread... you mean it wasn't?

I got a long winded, blindingly obvious , copied and pasted message from a smug looking guy on POF lastnight.

After 27 sentences about his soul, charisma and wonderful personality there's the following:

'Let me leave you with a quote.......'

Please. Let me leave you with a quote , JOG ON!

You...counted the sentences?

Times must be hard alright!

Thing is though that you can write the perfect message but send it to the wrong person. There's no telling what the other person will think is a good message.

Ah, but if you don't try, you don't get.

There may have been 47 , it was long , I pulled that figure out of the air.

Times are harder for someone 'bombing' people with rehashed messages and making no reference to the recipients own profile i'd imagine.

Galvasean · 03-06-2011 3:29pm

There should be a sort of safeguard in place to recognise 'bombing runs' and ban the feckers.
Goddamn time wasters, clogging up people's mail boxes.

Oh I know that, it was just a post along the lines of "yes online dating can be difficult/annoying/tough" etc!

love and curse the sunny weather for this reason.while i like to hide behind the irish weather for my pastey skin,alas my secret is out when the sun shines and i remain as pale as ever.

I'll comfort myself in my mothers words; sure isn't pale skin a sign of royalty.

Bow down before me 'cause i'm as pale as they come!

nothing wrong with pale skin :mad: whatever about a sign of royalty, it's a sign of not being cooked anyway.

I don't really get the obsession with tanned skin myself.

Pale skin ages better anyway. Maybe it's a Wicklow thing, but myself and a few friends have a serious fondness for pale girls.

Mental Mickey · 03-06-2011 9:42pm

All depends on the woman imo

Just asking as you were having difficulty at the start.

Ta. I just made some answers up and explained it in my profile. A friend of mine says that POF is crap and I should try smooched.com.

EDIT: This is gonna sound horrible, but I am being matched with loads of tiny women. Some are under 5 ft!!

Thats the login one? Presume you mean 'my matches'

Still very random, more or less based on searches you've done, as far as I can tell......... my only consistent search criteria are age and location, it seems to be matching them reasonably

Yup thats it. The message I'm getting is "Not Enough Local Matches - refining to State Level"

'State level'??

Did you set Ireland as country? Theres a 'Dublin' in Ohio (IIRC) and likely one or two more elsewhere in other US states

IT-Guy · 04-06-2011 12:53am

Am noticing a lot of woman describing their sense of humor as 'sarcastic'. I've found sarcasm is something hard to 'turn' off once you start thinking that way i.e. your outlook on the world becomes more sarcastic. Anyways am tempted to message a girl who describes her humor as sarcastic because she's hot and comes across as nice in her profile. Will sleep on it! As ye were, carry on....

Ah here, no need to be so serious, I know myself how bad it is for the skin. It's no secret that a tan can make (in general) people look healthier but pale skin can look just as nice on some people.

I was just telling a little yarn that my mother used to say from when I was a teenager and used to feel self conscience that I didn't tan. No need for the anger :rolleyes:
