    So you mean men don't like the element of surprise?
    Might kiss you, might burn your house down.
    Who knows!

    With some Irish women you are too like their father, or not enough like their father etc

    The ideal woman is half Irish and half another nationally

    That way you get the personality, without the psychosis


    Pfft, where's the fun in that? :D

    That's quite the gamble though. What happens if the 50/50 split goes horribly wrong and you get all the psychosis but none of the personality? :eek:

    Scottish Arab is a great combination in a fella. Western enough to get me, and understand the whole women's lib thing, but not afraid to open doors, carry shopping bags or pick up the bill.

    Not to mention gorgeous.

    Native Americans are only called Indians because Columbus thought he was in the Indies. The eejit.

    OK, you may have had a bad experience, but you're not going to have a good one with me, if that's your attitude!!

    I see similar on the profiles of women. But they're often the type that want the man with the income to be able to treat them... so I'd wonder do they draw such people to themselves?

    I had two dates with a lovely girl from POF recently, but she decided not to take things further, which was very disappointing. It was my first online date, but also my first date in a long time. Although we shared a kiss, I don't feel that she was that interested in me, despite her saying she had been at the time.

    She was a pain to message, not because of the conversation, but because it would take her days to reply online, or when texting, the next night or even a couple of days after. I took her excuse as work being busy and all that, but had she been that interested, perhaps there could have been more time to text/message? I don't know. But, the hunt goes on anyway, whether it be on or offline.

    I would certainly not dismiss it, as it can work for people. For example, the girl I met said that her best friend had met her husband online. But, it's just so hard getting a reply from it, and if a reply is received to a message, it's rare for things to actually progress to more than two or three messages before she ghosts. Most that have messaged me first or viewed my profile first have been ones that I haven't been interested in. I guess it's the same visa versa.

    Just to add, I don't really change online than in person. Really how I appear online is how I appear in person, but with the bit of shyness thrown into the mix. Perhaps I'm not as chatty first either :P

    I sometimes have a very busy and hectic schedule with my work and I can be a devil for not replying back to messages or emails to family and friends. It could take be days to reply back to something but it's not intentional and people who knows me knows I'm busy. Sometimes after a long day I would come in home and have to choose between dinner or a shower. Too tired to do both. Sometimes even going to bed without dinner or a shower.

    It's very possible the lady you dealt with was genuine and she was caught up in work. Perhaps she sniffed a bit of insercurity from you in relation to messages and she didn't want to take things further.

    I gave internet dating a go a few years ago. I was nearly hounded from one man I dealt with with messages like:
    'You ignoring me'
    'Why you not replying back to my messages'

    I was absolutely genuinely busy with work. I replied to his messages saying that I was very busy with work and I will reply when I get a chance. That chance came to me days later at the weekend and I replied back to him properly and he gave out sh1t to me. I was absolutely genuinely busy with work with long hours and lucky to even get time to grap a lunch and coming in home late. Dinner was a piece of toast before falling into bed.

    Dodged a bullet there but fcuk that craic. I gave the internet dating thing a miss since because I don't have time to be dealing with peoples insecurities around messaging.

    It's great though, it allows for one to very quickly disregard the profile and move on to the next one.
