Nothing lined up this weekend. Think Im going to just go to the pub for after work drinks and see where the long weekend takes me.

IMO the whole problem with dating is, people are hellbent on getting themselves a Mr or Miss Perfect ie, for the man, the woman has to be the tall blonde curvy type, and for the woman, the man has to be the tall hunky type.

I must have missed that one. What was the lie?

Maybe not a lie, but on the profile it asks what height you are and I had to make up one.

Cause you didn't know or you were outside the available range?

I met my girlfriend 4 years ago on smooch. Anyone use that one? Lost count of the amount of times i was talking to a girl one day for hours then the next day they hardly talk to you because theyve got talking to someone else since and forgotten all about you.
You have to catch them, gut them, batter them and plate them up before a shark comes along and snaps it away.
You have to be prepared for the other person still getting messages and even making dates for the first while you are "seeing" them too which i found very hard to deal with.
Worst thing is if you see them back online on the site hooring themselves out again but you cant say **** to them because you are on as well.

i think there are as many trolls in the online dating world as on the internet in general, ive read here about fake photos being used so i'm guessing there are people who get kick out of all the contact but no intention taking it further.

If it looks too good to be true, I throw the image URL into tineye.com and see does it come up with any matches.
At best; other dating sites.
At worst; porn sites (ie, the picture is fake)

The ratio of men to women started off quite badly with men outnumbering the women by at least 3 to 1 but by about 10.30 there was pretty much an even mix. The organiser said that's pretty much standard for the nights.

Good to know. The first and last speed dating night that I went to many many moons ago had a 2 or 3 to 1 ration or men to women, at the start, and it seemed to get worse as the night went on.

Someone else thinks women are shallow for only wanting to date tall men, and I'm saying that not all women are like that.

Meh. Each of us knows what we like. I prefer tall women (being tall myself), but there's a certain type of women that are very hawt even though very petite (there's about four of them in the office I work in; dunno if they're boardsies).

Swings and roundabouts, baby.

Now the real dilema here is do i mail this fella and ask why are you lying about your height :O

IMO, if he's lied about something as obvious as his height, you'd wonder who he'd feel about lying about stuff that you can't see?

newbee22 wrote: »

When people write 'I'm not mental' in profile/ message does that mean they are in fact mental and are stating it to put people off thinking they are mental?! :P

Must change my username from "tall_and_mad" in that case!

Man United? You and I have much to discuss. :pac:

Remember that 3-0 win in January.....

I'm still crying, but can't really justify it, wrong team played.. But to stay on topic before I get a slap on the wrist again, had a date lined up from POF but no word since Tuesday

I'm just looking for Mr Perfect for me, which wouldn't be an actual "Mr Perfect" as my friends think I have dodgy taste :P

True, it's a tough call when to bring up the "so, are you still online looking for dates" Obviously unless it's brought up you're exclusive

It's a tough one bringing up the exclusive conversation too.

I don't know how anyone would have the time for more than one site at a time!

Not much luck with POF or OKC, so joined 4 others. One is free, and the other three ask me for money from time to time (like when I try to check my messages, etc).

That's what I did. After about a week the initial merge frenzy died down, the tumble weeds blew in and I moved on

Another date next week. Seems like a lovely guy, too. Similar interests, sense of humour, decent looking. There has to be a catch somewhere!

It's a circular debate. Why do guys lie about their height? Most girls won't date short guys. Would a guy want to date someone like that? No, but if he's honest about his height, he won't get any dates.

He won't get any dates with women that want tall men, there are still women that will date shorter men.

No one is entitled to be found attractive by someone else for whatever reason.

I am 6 foot and I would have no problem dating a woman taller than me and she could wear heels all she wanted.

And your a handsome 6 footer I bet!!

Believe it or not this actually happened to me and a friend of mine. Last year I started texting a girl off PoF and she had told me how she hated the thought of multi-dating or talking to more than one person off the site at a time as it was unfair, didn't give each persona fair chance, etc. Which was good as I felt the same way. Although that eggs in one basket attitude has since changed given how fast and unexpectedly some people just stop contacting you!

Was talking to my mate who was also on it and we were chatting about who we were talking to. Both starting talking about the same girl, we were like nah, can't be the same one, logged in, showed each other the profile and said yep same girl :eek:

Bar the fact it felt weird having us both talking to the same girl, the worst of it was the BS she gave about not believeing in talking to more than one fella at a time and hinting she wouldn't consider bothering with a guy if he was talking to anyone else other than her.

We both just shook our heads, handed each other our phones and hit delete on her number :pac:

ha ha what a small world.. I'm completely honest if I'm talking to a few people.. But now coming to dating is different, I wouldn't have the head for multiple dating at all..

Dolly Daydreams

got a right rotten message off some internet warrior on POF.. Was that close to considering closing the account but to be fair that's what some people sign up to it in the first place for. A reaction

No, it's cos I'm in a wheelchair and can't measure my height properly.
