Lamby Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Haha. She's just text. Not too sure if I can be arsed driving to Loughborough now. I think I will if she replies again. I'll be back within the hour if all goes according to plan Either you're planning to murder her or you don't last that long

I'll be back within the hour if all goes according to plan Loughborough you say? I take it she's hot? I'd be happy to fill in for you mate, if you can't be arsed. Just putting it out there
The Year Of The Fox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Either you're planning to murder her or you don't last that long Which do you think. Get round, get in, get out, then get out the house.
kingfox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Either you're planning to murder her or you don't last that long Maybe he's spunked already, put it in a cup, and is preparing to throw it over her face when she answers the door. Then you can take a pic, and put it on Image Fap.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Loughborough you say? I take it she's hot? I'd be happy to fill in for you mate, if you can't be arsed. Just putting it out there You'd perhaps be in a better position to do it than me. (youd need a couple of pints prior) **** it she can wait I'm shattered. My life is starting to sound like lambys
Strokes Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 If you're shall we say, aesthetically challenged () like myself, most girls in your standard bar or club won't give me a second look. Add to that my mild social anxiety, those sort of places are never likely to yield success!Blokes dont need to be good looking to grab a chick, social anxiety will fúck you though. I always found if took a mate that was like a social hand grenade with me, it was easier to get girls attention but then pretend to be apologetic for the Dick to look somewhat respectable. A few complements maybe buy the odd drink (don't go overboard, she might be shit) and BAM before you know it you wake up on the monsell. Walk of shame is on.
Lamby Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 My life is starting to sound like lambys After 9 months of not having any action and 6 months being single, I'll take anything I can get. I even resorted to having "catch up" soon with one of my ex's, in the hope that it leads to staying over

kingfox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 After 9 months of not having any action and 6 months being single, I'll take anything I can get. That mean you'll be up for the other side then. I'll give my mates across the road a knock.

Alexikokopops Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 I'm not against people using dating websites but I do wonder why anyone between the age of 18-30 would use one. Surely at that age you'd be going out and meeting people on nights out, down the pub at the gym or just through friends. Nothing against it personally and if I'm still single in 5 years i'll probably be signing up myself . A lad I work with he uses POF and he's always telling me about girls he's met up with and had one night flings with. That's because in the provinces people speak to each other. In London dating websites are pretty common because we all hate speaking to anyone we don't know, or even making eye contact. If someone speaks to you on the tube you assume they're a terrorist. From what I gather if you go in the ones that cost you tend to find people more interested in a relationship, while the free ones (I'm looking at you Plenty Of Fish) tend to encourage people looking for a GOOD TIME. That's obviously a generalisation but it seems to be a fairly common theme.
New England Fox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Met my wife on Chemistry.com been married for 2 and a half years, got a 12 month old daughter and a son arriving the end of April so it's worked out pretty good for me I'd say. I've always used online dating as I'm a Chef and so spend all my time working in the bar and restaurant scene so the last thing I want to do when I finish work is spend more time in them. Met my fair share of nutjobs of course though before I finally met the missus
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 I loaded a profile onto plenty of fish a while back and one of the first "matches" that I got was my ex wife, so I deleted that and left it alone.
Lamby Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 I loaded a profile onto plenty of fish a while back and one of the first "matches" that I got was my ex wife, so I deleted that and left it alone. They're not matches, it's just people in your area
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 You have to wonder what the quality of ladies you are likely to find on a website, I mean its not difficult for women to get men is it? My guess is they are all way below the required spec I'd like to accompany me. Damaged goods, ex wives, ready made families or just plain munters. I'm sure there are a few hidden gems but it has to be easier to go out and see for yourself. .... what about the 'quality' of the men? Or dont that count? Women, like men, use dating sites for their ease of access and convenience. Your arrogance is astounding but, expected.. Thats my rant for equal opps over...

Rincewind Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Never used one but i'm basically a shy person so chatting girls up in bars has always been hard. the ones I've known have been through work or friends. But saying that there was no internet when I was younger and I may be too set in my ways now. I would probably bottle out of meeting anyone anyway. I did use the personal columns in the Mercury once. Can't remember if I got any replies. Got some hugs on NYE which is the best I can hope for these days. {)

If that's not incentive for young Nathan, I don't know what is.

Your arrogance is astounding but, expected.. Thats my rant for equal opps over... In fairness, I would imagine dating sites to be bloke heavy. Women can pick and choose a lot more than we can, just as in a nightclub.

A lad I work with he uses POF and he's always telling me about girls he's met up with and had one night flings with. I have recently joined Tinder, but me and my mate signed up at the same time "for a laugh" ... As I said in the other thread though, I know I've got more of a chance when I go out because that's why I'm actually face to face with a girl. Bit difficult talking over an app, don't know how I'm coming over!
Captain... Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 My old landlord was addicted to these sites, he had signed up for quite a few and would just spam all the women he could with the same generic message, obviously slightly personalised, the trick is, he would say, is to not jump in with a lets meet up, but just say I saw your profile, I too like (insert something off their profile here), a bit of guff, then just ask something generic such as how there day was, or related to their profile. This would lead to a conversation, sometimes lasting months until they were frothing at the gash for him and agree to meet up, one woman even drove down from Newcastle for a night with him. Of a weekend he could have 3 different women over.... ...Oh and he was 48, overweight, balding, a massive geek with a weird obsession for guns and kinda boring, yet in the 6 months I was living in his house he got laid probably more times than I did as a teenager.

As I said in the other thread though, I know I've got more of a chance when I go out because that's why I'm actually face to face with a girl. Bit difficult talking over an app, don't know how I'm coming over! I think I may be opposite. Face to face I find it hard to open up but on message boards I am a bit braver and open up. I am more self confident than I used to be mainly because I mix with people that accept me as I am and give some praise. I felt quite embarrassed about what was said about me on a film that was made about DNO. The editors were saying all good things and I was in the audience watching. I was thinking are they really talking about me? I have a reasonable social life and not sure how I would cope with 'dating'. Some company when I go to events may be nice though even if its just platonic.
Rincewind Posted 4 January 2014 Posted 4 January 2014 Heres an article from the Telegraph where one of their columnists tested Tinder for a week. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/relationships/10317832/Tinder-review-a-womans-perspective.html I can only see where you have to download an app for an Iphone or Android. Saturday We ended up in the sort of Soho tequila bar where dinner dates come to die. We held hands as we walked to his place, kissing on a quiet square in Clerkenwell and I felt like a spontaneous 17-year-old … Well, right up until this morning, when he asked me how I rated the sex so far from one to 10. Tinder isn't a dating app, it's the Yellow Pages for ego-boosting one-night-stands. Just a short quote
