    They probably think that they will get more attention :rolleyes:

    Think thats a big part of it tbh.

    It makes me lol when women have profile pictures up of themselves in bikinis,under wear,boobs nearly on show etc then go on a big rant in their profile about men messaging them only looking for one thing.

    Seriously like,you set yer stall out like that then wtf do they expect.
    :confused:

    Does that really happen? I female and I agree that with those they of photos etc you can only attract a certain type of attention.

    I was like wtf, why would being a hairdresser get them more attention? :D I read a survey thing on OKC ages ago about the whole bi thing on the profiles. apparently something like 80% of people that have themselves down as bi exclusively contact one gender. so yeah...probably for attention.

    Hid the ol POF profile there for a bit, anyone willing to take a look at it for me to give me some feedback?? (Female feedback preferably :D) Thanks

    I found a couple last night actually with a joint profile looking to do a 'partner swap'. Now fair enough, if that's what you're into I suppose, but here's the funny part: In the profile it said, "Real couples only. No mates pretending to be couples who are just looking for a bit of sex."
    Surely the whole point of partner swapping is for the sex? Or did they legitimately want to trade other halfs (for keeps)? :confused:
    Interestingly, the profile pics only showed the girl. was very tempted to mail and say, "Giz a look at yer fella and we'll talk! :pac:

    Thanks!

    I actually don't have much experience with internet dating. I set up a profile on OKCupid for a couple of months and it really surprised me! Lots of very creative people with interesting conversation, obviously put a lot of effort into their profiles. Handsome too! :)

    Re joined last night on pof. Just can't keep away, it's an addiction.

    Have my pics up now too which I thought might get me more replies.

    Have my default message title set.

    Sent this girl a message as I don't get replies, just looking to chat.

    "Hellooo :D How do you do? :D

    What's happening? :) How was your new years eve? :D


    You seem sound from your profile so would be cool if you read my profile and hopefully get back to me :D"

    She replies back

    "What part of it am I supposed to like? you said naff all and if you are referring to your profile then also think again. You are not funny, interesting or remotely attractive. You are delusional and punching way above your weight, single mother with an IQ of 90 more your kind of thing I think.

    BTW don't bother trying to reply, you're BLOCKED"

    :eek:

    Least you found out she's not worth your while. What a cow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,399 ✭✭✭KamiKazeKitten


    Wow Samich, I'd say you dodged a bullet there. What is wrong with some people?

    Not really dodging a bullet as I'm not looking to meet up with them, can't get any replies at all, literally, so was hoping just mailing for a chat would get some replies. But no.

    Her profile was actually good and she was hot too, unfortunately! :pac:

    Surely the who point of joining an internet dating site is to meet people!!! Otherwise it would be a penpal site.

    Doesnt matter how good her profile was or how hot she is,she is clearly a c*nt.

    Fine if you arent interested but why would you even bother going to the trouble of replying with such a nasty message.

    Some people.
    :(

    The most frustrating thing about this whole online dating thing is chatting to someone who you're seemingly getting on well with and she just stops replying yet she's clearly online. Ugh.

    Why don't you want to meet up with anyone? I mean, it is a dating site.... :confused:

    And it doesn't matter how hot she is, a b!tch is still a b!tch.

    I do want to meet someone, just don't think the amount of time I've been on it someone wants to meet me :pac:

    Also the hot thing is she will still get loads of fella attention so being a cnut makes no difference to her.

    Well, looks don't last but unfortunately her personality will!

    That kind of attitude from girls always makes me ashamed to be one :(
    If I didn't like the guy, I'd ignore him or just say nicely that I wasn't interested but I'd never be a c*nt to a fella just for the sake of it!

    Anyway, chin up and I hope you find someone decent soon. :)

    Her last line of the profile was to put the subject line as snooze as proof you read the profile, I didn't bother doing this, I just typed it into the box on the page, saved me an extra click :P, as I have a pre saved title anywho. And a good one I thought at that :P Oh well. :D
