EDIT: Ohh you're talking about a dating website? Well, I offer my commiserations. As you said, plenty more fish in the ocean. Chin up, and all that.
Unless you've got a mermaid fetish anyway ...
some say they will reply to everyone and go on about they want someone to like them for there persnailty. and they are fed up meeting jerks
yet still they dont reply to me lol
Oh Sarah Sarah Sarah come here.
*puts arm round your shoulder*
Sit and tell me your problems sweetheart, come sit on my knee.
WOmen get a slightly better response regardless of what they look like as all the ugly men will try to at least get a response out of them but the ugly women are still driven by what media industry deems acceptable, so even then there is no reply.
I carried out an experiement a couple of times, set up another account, found a picture of a sexy looking male escort and used that as profile pic, I made the profile identical to mine. Needless to say I struggled with getting any reply, but my fake profile , well I did not even bother, before the picture was even approved I got a message from one of the admins who said she shouldnt be really contacting me, but she was very attracted and hoped to "see more" etc.
I had countless offers of sex and many women waxing lyrical about single dad looking after kids and they would love to be part of that process of helping with raising the kids.
I thought "excellent" so waited about a week then contacted the women who said this to my fake account, but they just fobbed me off with things like "sorry I do not want to have anything o do with other peopes kids" !!!!
Forums were the same, said same things on one dating site forum, MR handsome got loads of "you are right" "how true" "you are aamzing" type responses, yet when I made same comments a month later, the same people would make lengthy replies basically making out that i would say those things as I am just saying them because no one really likes how I look etc.. Very nasty , shallow and hypercritical.
We live in a very sad cruel world , the internet has made it even more difficult to just have a relationship with anyone as most people seem to be looking for thier soul mate and all potential partners have to compete with rest of world.
SO If you are not getting many responses on dating sites, then dont worry, its just the world doing what they have bene told to do by the media and fashion industry.
Normally the ugly guys can keep the woman in diamonds furs and champagne with several exotic holidays each year.
Wow, how sad!
Bernie Eccleston, Peter Stringfellow spring to mind:D
If you are not stunning looking or do not have a six pack then the chances of getting a date are pretty low.
There are alot of Pretty girls on POF who do look great but they only want to go out with a certain type of bloke.
I think POF has changed a wee bit. You now have to pay them a fee to see if somebody has read your message - before that service is free.
.
I had rather more success with the Facebook applications. I had quite a number of dates from those. Unfortunately my last relationship from Facebook (3 and a bit years) has just gone belly up within the last week
Other friends seem to have had more success from the likes of Match. I think the people on Match tend to be more level headed and realistic about relationships. Possibly due to the fact that they have to pay and that weeds out the chancers.
Thank god i am not doing that, it was trite and awful.
Well there is that bonus too
