I've been on this site for more than half a year now and it's been a complete waste of time, really. I realise I'm not selling myself as well as I might because I don't have a photo on my profile, but I'm factoring that into my thinking (and I have a picture I'm happy to email to anyone who asks). I've had some fun email conversations with some cool people but nothing's come of it. I met one woman but she didn't fancy me, so that didn't go anywhere - and I'm not mad at her, at least she's tried to use this site for what it's supposed to be, and actually took the chance to find out a bit about me before she made up her mind. Respect due and all that. But most of the time people just read the emails I send them and then never reply. I don't just send out pre-written one-line "let's fuck" messages, I take time to try and say something relevant to the lady's profile and try to be friendly and open and whatever. I don't mind if people aren't interested, but why don't they just say that? Just ignoring it is so rude. Seems that the majority of people on here aren't actually interested in getting to know someone new or meeting up - just on being in the chat room and talking to people they already know. What a waste of time.

Thanks all. Cheery stuff! If I put a pic up, I might get somewhere, but chances are that even that won't make any difference... Cripes. Good luck, everyone! It's a cold world out there, evidently. |

Thanks David - just went and had a look at your pics, great work! I wouldn't mind my cock being on the photos, it's being recognised that would bother me and I doubt that even the women I've been in the longest of relationships with would be able to name me just from a photo of my bollocks. I have tried taking a photo of all of that but however I try to do it, it always ends up reminding me of a slug crawling out of a plate of salad for some reason. And in any case, as our Goth friend has pointed out, cock shots aren't really what a lot of women are keen to see. I tried the "camera in front of face, taking a photo in the mirror" trick too but I can't say any of them looked particularly... I think the word I'm searching for is "appetising" but after the salad reference perhaps I should try a different image. But ta for the advice anyway, will give the pics another go and see if I can come up with something that is a fair reflection of what I look like but isn't likely to scare anyone off. A big ask, but we live in hope. |

On here? Much the same, with one significant exception. In real life? Greatly improved. But then, I think you might already have guessed that... |

I'm a single guy on here and to be honest it's the best site I have been on . I have met some awesome people on here , singles and couples and had some of the most mindblowing sex of my life . That said I have worked hard to find those people . As a single guy you are at a massive statistical disadvantage on sites like these . I have put pictures on that I think accurately reflect me as a person ( dirty filthy bastard basically .....lol ) and I have been true to myself and what am am seeking . For every email I have had replied I have had 25 ignored . I don't get that either , but again this blog needs the input from a woman who probably gets 25 emails a day , to explain why a well written email gets ignored . |
