Just that it's funny that you are giving advice to people on how to 'pull' when you're actually an internet dater yourself. Blind leading the blind IMO.
I'm happily married and before that used to be in relationships with girls I'd met.
Why would that be funny though? I met my current partner on E harmony and we've been together for several months. I'd say quite the opposite .I'm happily married and before that used to be in relationships with girls I'd met.

I'm sure you're right CB and it's just a sign of the times. It just seems funny to see someone who can't get a girlfriend giving advice on how to pull, like a fatty giving diet tips!
I dated a s
t ton fk load of women from 'real life' and online over the past 6 years. If you have the opportunity to meet people in real life it's a quicker and easier way than sifting through online profiles. Online was sport for me for a long time, a constant ride of nutters, laughs, hassle, interesting stories and something to do when I wasn't out drinking, chatting up randoms and causing havoc.
But then I've dated dozens of women from the 'real world' too, most of them either turned out to be nuts after a short while, or after a long while. The game's the same, it's the vetting procedure and the methods that are different.

Met my good lady on Plenty of Fish - first meeting was 3 years ago today
As stated many times, be prepared to sift through plenty of chaff before finding wheat

I guess I just see the situation very differently to you. In my office there are ten young males and most of them are elbows deep most weekends. The one internet dater among them would be laughed out of the room if he tried to advise on pulling like you are. Mr Roper said:

Who, I wonder, is going to be the first person from this thread to unwittingly receive a line drawing of themselves naked (with unflatteringly small wedding vegetables) in response to these gambits?

The current almost girlfriend has made it through 2 months now (I think, I don't really remember the datesI know exactly when we started going out and how many dates it has been) she's even spoken to a drunk Mr Roper on the phone 
and came away undamaged.
EFA going by your earlier posts on this subject CB! and came away undamaged.On a more negative side I've run out of women to message around me,
Still will meet up with the girl I have met before, but it's obviously not going to be anything serious. She'll also be away for the next few months anyway. I think I need to move somewhere with people!Thankyou4calling said:

Purely in the name of scientific PH research I tried the following intro instead on 10 decent looking profiles who don't seem too uptight, a variation on Matts theme but with the edges smoothed a bit for the more discerning pof lady :-
"Hey there,
I spotted your profile, thought “great photo” so had a read, now I could say the usual old cheese you have heard many times before so instead how about we head off for a romantic picnic one day, enjoy each others company in the countryside, then go at it like rabbits over the bonnet for desert! ;-)
Hi I’m xxx by the way ;-)"
Results pending but replies flying back already and so far finding it funny, and I have yet to be banned!
That is a decent opener. It's cheeky, flirty, irreverent and displays a tongue in cheek humour. Completely different to MattUK who was just crude. Yours will undoubtedly lead to potential dates, no question as have the others."Hey there,

The key is to remain polite whilst planting the seed in the mind test you could be interesting.

Nope, not a clue, doesn't matter, she's past casual status and still no signs of crazy behaviour to report.On a more negative side I've run out of women to message around me,
