Real life dating evnets

Why afraid of online? It's an easy way to get lots of dates and it's the way most people seem to meet these days especially 30+.

Speak for yourself, it was great for me

You don't have to be perfect to go on dates with women ffs. I'm sensing online dating left you a little bitter.

Pure bitter altogether. Found someone who luvs me offline though so the bitterness is starting to dissipate slowly

Jesus, these threads are so tedious. Online dating can be shıtty and difficult for both genders. Neither "side" has a monopoly on how hard it is.

It can also be great. It is what it is. There's certainly no need to be afraid of it, but you do need to have a relatively thick skin and the ability to be relatively sanguine about the inevitable dickheads and time wasters.

If that's not you, OP, then give it a miss. But I certainly wouldn't be put off by the usual Negatrons whinging about it on here.

Yeah well I found being sound, taking care of your appearance, being somewhat fit, and having your sh*t together financially seems to be enough to get plenty of dates online, at least it was when I started using it in my mid 30s.

There isn't an infinite supply of men that women want to go out with either.

Don't forget the sense of humor. I've found my sense of humor makes up for my lack of a 10" penis.

But they can meet you during the day for lunch and have a bit of a laugh and hop into bed later with Mr. 10"

For the women its worth staying on dating sites permanently for the occasional blast off a 10 incher than to be settling for a 7". Theyll use your other physical features to infer if you might be packing a 10". So if you are a leprechaun with 10" they still wont swipe on you unless you rode her friend and the word got around

I think you might need to get off the internet for a while, dude.

50 is a great age for dating sites in my opinion.

The big thing I found and it took me a while to figure this out was the number of participants who were only looking for a form of entertainment for whatever reason they had very few friends or interests and online dating seemed to have become an out let for them.

i have (genuinely) created a solution where you can go into a pub, connect to the wi-fi and straight away - without entering more details or urls etc etc or clicking anything, a dating site will appear on your phone with ONLY THOSE OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING TO DATE WHO ARE THERE IN THE PUB appearing in it. Obviously it would require a quick email registration and the uploading of a photo and some info, but the main thing is the profile would not exist outside the pub, and would only appear when you go to the pub, connect to the wi-fi and log in to the dating site that appears. when you arent there, your profile isnt shown.I think it's the perfect combination of online ease but offline reality. this thing is only a prototype at the minute, but all the essentials work. it's not ready by any means commercially.

A lot of people dont bother with connecting to a premises wi fi any more as data speeds and plans are generally OK now that there is no need to bother.

Possibly, but it seems a bit random and lacks the structure of a planned event where a group of singles show up to a venue at the same time.

the concept will be tested at the salty dog stage this year at EP. Connect to the salty dog wi-fi and it goes to the stage times, band schedule and online merch. Same idea - just a different destination for the minute. Theres a survey on it to to see if we can get peoples opinions on the idea and maybe what should be on it next year

The idea that there isnt other single people of a suitable sex in the same pub or venue is a bit far fetched in my eyes. unless its a wee pub with one or two people in it - but it could also be a very valid point as I dont know. i havent done the research as yet so I cant actually argue with that.
