It's the girls who take a picture of themselves and its just the face and the camera is above them tiled down. You then get talking exchange numbers or social media then find pictures what don't look like the one or two they posted on the dating site.

You also have the girls who are happy to send nudes right away.  A mate of mine was speaking to a girl on Badoo he met her a couple of times and like the post above someone mentioned she openly said she was speaking to another couple of guys but she was off Badoo and was no longer using dating sites. I was single at the time and I was on POF - I got a message from the girl who was speaking my mate and also met him a few times .

I told him right away and showed him the messages she was sending me, He said go with it and lets see what she's like while he was messaging her himself. I kid you not within about 15 minutes she was asking for my what's app we swapped numbers and pictures and videos were being sent to myself. She said she wasn't speaking to anyone else and was looking for some fun at the same time she was messaging my mate Kevin she was at work and planning on there next date.

He then sent her screenshots of our messages and pictures blocked her and so did I.

Interesting to see if this results in less mixed race relationships.

Undoubtedly it most certainly does. The removal of the ethnicity filter on these websites would immediately also remove peoples personal prejudice, it would also prevent them from being able to make a visual assessment of profile pictures. Although how they would then identify who they were meeting on a live date, well that's another matter.

Met an American girl via POF a few years back, she was living in York and claimed to be working as an alternative model - she had pictures to back it up so I had no reason to doubt that part.

Saw her a few times, eventually she confessed that as she couldn't legally work in the UK she was working as a dominatrix, mainly online. So I absorbed that bit of information, but something still didn't feel quite right.

After doing a bit of digging online I discovered that yes, she did do a bit of dominatrix-style stuff, but her main earner was as a full-on 15 minute quickie in the back of your car prostitute. I read some of the graphic reviews her 'clients' had left and never saw her again after that.

That was 2014, I've stayed away from online dating ever since.

The first girl I matched with after I finished my last relationship before this one (bout 7/8 years ago) pretty quickly revealed her dad was the head of some big airline company, so absolutely loaded, but lived permanently in America. So he'd just send her an 'allowance' of like £5k a month to essentially not work and ride horses all day (as well as paying all the bills in their massive house). Which was nice. Also......she'd spent a fair whack of it getting an S&M dungeon built.

Had the opposite effect to you though in terms of staying away from online dating :D

What's that then? Is it a bit like an alternative comedian, but a model? :o

Misread that as 'dogging online' then? Although it does seem rather appropriate from the story you've told. I understood there were different 'types' of site available depending on what you are looking for? Years ago before the internet really took off, probably in the early to mid 90s, my late wife worked at a 'contacts' magazine. Readers would send in nude pictures of themselves to be published in the magazine so that they could hook up and meet with like minded people. It was a legit job and could have been any magazine publishing pictures of the subject area. I did get the impression that the staff that worked there used to have a right laugh at some of the sights they saw coming through the letterbox and it was a fun place to work as long as you are not easily shocked.

I read this profile one time of a lady who had a normal picture, normal description etc. and then had a throw away line of something like 'unless you are really into the S&M scene, I'll know more kink stuff than you'.

I wasn't particularly attracted to her but really wanted to meet her. Went out for dinner with her and she told me her story. A few years before she had met a guy on Match and they had a normal date, back to his place and then he asked her if she was into kinky stuff. She said she had never  had any experience of it and then they went on to have a wild night of whips/chains etc. He then got her into the scene and they dated for a couple of years.

The frightening thing she said was that she recognized a lot of the guys from the S&M scene as having profiles on Match. These guys used dating sites to try to lure women into the kink scene.

Five dating Red Flags
« Reply #50 on: August 27, 2022, 08:42:35 am »
If you had a list of five immediate red flags for someone you were seeing/intending to see, what would immediately make you break off the relationship?


My starter for five!


1. Tory Voter
2. Brexit Voter
3. Manchester United fan
4. Racist, Xenophobic inbred gobshite (Though to be fair 1 and 2 would pretty much guarantee that)
5. Tattoos

Interesting. 1,2 and 4 are obvious ones. Ultimately being a fan of a specific football team is not an indicator of good/poor character so I wouldn’t not see someone because they’re a fan of a specific team (oil teams maybe).

Tattoos I have and like and they can look good on people so that in no way is a red flag for me. Financial illiteracy and terrible with money whilst not necessarily a be all and end all is a red flag, it feels immature when someone can’t pay their bills because they had too many nights out or absolutely had to have a certain bag or air pods or whatever the fuck.

If they’ve plastered stuff on their social media about a past break up or ex, steer clear.

I was standing outside a photo printing place in the 80s waiting to meet someone, and the photos were spewing out of the machine facing the window, caught in a little clear plastic holder for a few seconds with air blowing on them I am guessing, before the next one dropped. A fella was taking portrait photos of the woman in a living room, a nice looking fortyish lass. I could see the twinkle in her eye, and as they continued to drop, each one got saucier. The last pic was full on not safe for work, and it just sat there all the time i was there, the shop may even have closed for the day.
Dating game though, not looking forward to it, marriage has collapsed, starting again at 59. I'm facebook friends with a few of my exes, at least two are single, so I might feel more comfortable asking them if they want to have another date again.
Or should you never go back?.

Markedasred, I’m not old by any stretch but I have enough experience to know that 9/10, the reason you broke up in the first place is as good a reason there is not to go back. Unless the reason you weren’t with them wasn’t circumstantial and nebulous to the actual relationship, you shouldn’t go back to exes just because they’re easier to approach. And if you’re exes with them because your wife was better than them, there’s your answer again; there are ladies out there better than them for you.

Sorry to hear about your marriage mate, never had a long-term thing collapse so I can’t speak to your experience but I think on a fundamental level, most of us have had a bad break up that illicits at least some of the emotions you must be feeling. Make sure you’re actually at the stage where dating again is right for you. If you go too early it likely won’t work. Best of luck, there’s loads of ways to meet people these days and online has lost the stigma it had as recently as 10 years ago, more people meet that way now.

Cheers DrinksSangria, marriage been festering for years now, we've stayed together for the kids. She's having a few weeks in her home country at the moment. The youngest is 15 now, and happily married parents on their 1st marriage is hardly a thing in her world and next relationship parents seem better off, so I have her blessing.
 I had an affair with one woman whilst living with another in the 80s, and I always thought the one I was seeing was a better person and more fun to be with. She is single and her kids are grown up, so that is the first of them, and the other was someone I met who was really strongly attracted to me when I was still sore after freshly being dropped by the last girlfriend, who was someone you might have seen on TV.
The wife tempted me away from her before we properly had a chance to get to know each other. They are both successful artists and in both cases we enjoy each others intellects as well as the other compatible, and all 3 of us are the same age, where the wife is almost a decade younger. So that is what tempts me to return, the having not really given either a proper chance.

But yes, its a big wide world out there as well.

I dated for years in my 40s and would quite often go back to ex's after a few years when I found myself single. Often it's perspective. Being an ex means you have had a lot in common and yet for some reason it didn't work out then. Things will have changed and maybe it will work now. Also, being older means an ex may have just become a friend and not a romantic partner so an ex can be someone just to meet and talk to as you navigate the new status.
Once you feel used to things, dating using the apps can be a lot of fun but not very fulfilling for a while and should be a good tonic.

I'm on all the dating apps, and as someone said earlier, women are inundated with messages, and they have the luxury to choose, men, usually, dont have this luxury. Hinge gives you an option to select a race, contrary to KillerHeel's concerns, I find I get matches more often this way. Indian women looking for indian men and vice versa. On Tinder/bumble etc, i barely get white people matches anyway, and the quantity of white people outweighs the rest.

40s is a mad audience, you have the ones left on the shelf, looking fabulous, and the ones who are coming out of a break up with kids, with mum/dad bods. Its very hard to find someone who is in the same situation as you and understands your position. Everyone has high standards and is looking for perfect, but it simply doesnt exist. Old fashioned way will make its return imo. Just got to get yourself out there i suppose.

I've recently learned that women can also get sex on tap on numerous swinging apps, makes it even more difficult, if women can satisfy themselves a different way! haha. crazy crazy world.

I've had mixed success at dating, but to be honest its normally friends setting me up with colleagues/friends.

Forgive the long post and if  I've told it before, but the worst date I went on was about 2015 when my mates missus insisted I would get on really with a colleague. We initially started texting and then chatting on the phone and to be fair she was really easy to talk to. I then asked to swap pictures and sent my most recent one, she sent back a picture of her eyeball!
We eventually agreed to meet outside Rigbys in town and although there wasn't an instant attraction on my part I'm not Shallow Hal. Things got off to a bad start when we went into Aloft, a bar opposite Rigby's and the only space was a really low couch. I wore some 'tapered jeans' which restricted any movement at the best of times, so when I tried to get up to go the bar again I couldn't get up! I asked her, would you mind going the bar if I give you the money, I can't get up - she said no, flat refused!  ???

We then went to some cocktail gaff and she ordered off the menu her own drink before saying, 'he'll have a cosmopolitan', I was like, errrrrr I can pick my own drink ya know!
When we sat down she asked if I was on Facebook and sent me a friend request, then insisting I accept it immediately. She then sat there and scrolled through my profile, demanding to know who all the females were in my photos, "who's she, why is your arm round her", the very fact I work in an office and some of my closest friends are women was lost on her.

By now I was getting a bit angry, especially when she showed me a Whatsapp group she'd set up called 'date' and was giving a running update to her work mates on how the night was going.  :o

The last straw was when she spied a tattoo on my wrist, "how many tats do you have?", she asked, when I showed her she said, "you won't be getting no more!".

I made my excuses and called the night to a halt and just told her it wouldn't really work (by text once I was in the cab home - coward at heart me ha  ;D )

I laugh about it now but the sad reality is her behaviour was sinister, controlling and just weird.

No, once I accepted her on Facebook she went through my profile looking at the pics and asking who the different females were etc, defo a crank.

She then sat there and scrolled through my profile, demanding to know who all the females were in my photos, "who's she, why is your arm round her", the very fact I work in an office and some of my closest friends are women was lost on her.

By now I was getting a bit angry, especially when she showed me a Whatsapp group she'd set up called 'date' and was giving a running update to her work mates on how the night was going.  :o

The last straw was when she spied a tattoo on my wrist, "how many tats do you have?", she asked, when I showed her she said, "you won't be getting no more!".

I made my excuses and called the night to a halt and just told her it wouldn't really work (by text once I was in the cab home - coward at heart me ha  ;D )

I laugh about it now but the sad reality is her behaviour was sinister, controlling and just weird.

 ;D

Always enjoy reading your stories mate.

Was it the one causing you to miss the second half who cancelled?  If so, she's the one!  8)

so an update is, erm, yeah a bit too serious a person, i guess im too immature somewhat, she wants someone to father her kid more than someone for herself. i find that a little strange. im not ready to let women become part of my childrens lifes willy nilly, they have a mum.

also, lying about your age seems to be a thing eh? so i thought i was talking to someone 38, turns out, she's 44. and not only that, she wants to get married and have children. im not so sure this is realistic. by the time she'46, starting a family is i dunno, doesnt seem wise from a biological point of view, to me. but you never know the power of true love. divorces, weddings and children are quite expensive in a short amount of time. so yeah, i asked for her number, and she fired these 20 questions of suitability to me, and i was like, "erm, why dont you just say no?" i think people get scared when things get "real"?

anyway. the search continues.

the mix of people online is staggering, it took me ages to realize that what people want from online dating is so much more varied than 'wanting a bf/gf'. Sex, dinner, wealth, attention etc. are all part of the motivations. It's so hard to find someone who is even on your level.

Fucking hell, im on fire at the moment, i have dropped my standards, but, hey, im bald and not in great shape anymore, some of these girls are WHEW. So turns out, one girl im talking to is a member of parliament and she is totally challenging, every lewd comment has a witty comeback, so attractive. not met her yet, but she'll eat me alive im sure of it. (Labour by the way)

Another girl im talking to, not met yet, she went to the same school as me in the midlands, same form/band, a little older than me, and she lives just 2 minutes from me. crazy shit. she's 5ft though. same as my ex-wife. i wanted someone taller to see how we "fit".

If girls stumble on this thread and think im "womanizing", im not, you got to keep multiple on strings, most of the time, the date is cancelled as soon as it gets serious/real, so the flirt is part and parcel of the game. im starting to enjoy it, i dont give a fuck anymore, just dare and say the sexy shit, being nice is seen as boring. both these girls dont want kids, so yeah, things are looking up. even if we end up friend-zoning, its all good.

When will you be getting your Honourable Member out?

Friday. But with my performance, i better be really into her! sometimes textual arousal is deeper than physical. its crazy shit. need to put less pressure on situations, and just go with it.

Research has shown you're just as likely to get a date from you're group of 'friends', than you are joining a dating app.  Lots of text talk on there, but not much else it seems.

I've heard that before and its a pretty simplistic point of view IMO

dependent on the size of your circle of friends, urban or rural etc., age, social confidence etc

the biggest advantage of the apps is being able to set up dates while sitting on your sofa

If you need some advice...

Sometimes they're busy...I think...

Anyway I have my own secret method where I mirror the amount of time they take to reply...so it makes them want me more.

General formula I use is time she takes to reply * how keen I am. Like if my keenness is low then I'll just double time she takes to reply. Pretty handy if I might say.

There are actual mathematical formulas to dating, Gegenpresser101 has a few more I believe to get chicks.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

The total opposite to geggenpressing. I guess its called Thiago-ing. "My pace mother fucker!"

I've started looking at zodiac suitability and that 16 personalities bullshit. Apparently, my "soulmates" are Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn, with a bit of Pisces creeping in. I feel like Taurus's are massive fucking flirts. But i'm no expert. Nice to add some spice from the stars I suppose.

I'm an ENTJ in personality, Commander apparently, but, I dont feel like one. Loads of shit out there to make money off lonely souls.

This is it, isn't it.People will throw all kinds of money at this sort of thing.

But yes, arranging dates from the comfort of your own lounge, does have it's plus points.
