I really think those guys would be better off visiting an escort website instead. I can't see them doing a whole lot of copulating as a result of sharing dic pics on a dating site.

I doubt they think it's a good way to get laid. I'd say hey're just trolling TBH.



*Speaking of which, got a phone alert from POF telling me that a very attractive, interesting and articulate woman in my area wants to 'meet me'. Logged into the site just there and she doesn't show up on the list or in the 'viewed me' section either. Deskeptisean is skeptikal...

I would make sure to include your pic on your first mail. To be honest, a lot of people don't bother with profiles without pics so you might be at a disadvantage from the word go with no pic.
I don't even look at profiles without pics so i'm sure it's the same for guys. So unless you intend on sending out mails I can't see a profile without a pic being too popular when there's so many with pics.
Just my opinion.

I see YOLO is still very much a thing. *blergh*

I'd have to agree. I virtually never mail profiles without a pic because it always leads to the inevitable and awkward, "So... got a picture?". It's very very awkward when they send you one after asking and you don't find them attractive.

I get what it means but not in the context of what Dinosaur Boy meant.


ETA: I'm always on board for trying to make some dosh.

Ah right, I thought it was a new "duckface" pose.

I really despise the 'YOLO' crap going around.

Pics of my friends in a puddle of their own vomit sitting half naked on a toilet appear on Facebook. Most people would be absolutely mortified seeing that sort of pic of themselves, but noooooo, my friend says 'Ahahaha, YOLO babez.'

Seems like a way for skanks and idiots to justify their behaviour.

Online dating is a serious disaster for me, keeps running its course before anything happens, great conversations then goes no where and run's its course, nightmare!!!

I shouldn't find this funny, but damn I love it. :pac:


That's the thing, though. This 'yolo' crap has people justifying doing really stupid things. I actually have a (previously well behaved, classy) friend who has started trying recreational drugs because 'yolo.' While I don't particularly care if any of my friends do drugs (their body, their choice, I personally wouldn't touch 'em), hello? That cocaine you're snorting could be laced, you don't know what's in it. That joint could have PCP, which can make you really ill.

Seriously, you might 'only live once' but surely you'd want it to be a long, happy, healthy life??

I know this a horrible thing to say but some people really need to see the consequences of drugs being used especially if they are laced with something and then they might cop on . I have smoked abit of hash in the past but have never touched anything else . I saw it first hand 9 months ago when I saw a fella taking E's to be cool and then he collapsed on the ground having fits and being carted away in an ambulance . He had to be pumped out that night . So if you want to be stupid by all means go for it but using a phrase like YOLO to hide dumb behaviour is ridiculous . Some people need to cop on and really fast .

Dovies, I thanked it because it's a date, but is it a good thing or a bad thing?
