So what is the normal protocol on POF as I'm doing something wrong lol. They click my profile then I get a *** wants to meet you. Then nowt, so perhaps a day later I send a wee jovial message to break the ice and again nowt. Do men want you to make the first move or is that a myth now.

I have also checked out the ladies of my area with someone elses tablet to see the competition and can't understand it lol. I'm no skinny supermodel but holy hell it really baffles me

I have a friend who's on it, and I think she contacts guys she's interested in more than the other way around. Although if she was contacted by somebody she liked the sound of, I don't think that would make much difference either.

I'm pretty sure Match.com is trying to flatter me into paying the £60. 24hrs and I've (supposedly) had 466 profile views, 15 winks and 8 favourites...
Yet when I search I can never find more than roughly 20 girls that have been on line within the last 48 hours?

I've read this about other sites. I suppose that's why it's free to look! Do match charge for women or just men?

AFAIK same price for both genders. I've got an email from Match saying my profile is proving popular, though I'm pretty sure I've deactivated it

We're going to need a link to confirm, but there's only one reason blokes wouldn't respond

Jees you have a problem and it's in your head Pal. I'm not proving anything I'm telling you my view as how it worked. You come over as one of the boring feckless types they all gave up with.

You, sir, owe me a new keyboard, just spat coffee all over this one!

I'd not worry. Doubt he's lost any sleep over it. After all, he's met 'a dream' woman...

Given his apparent gender confusion, I've corrected that for you.

I already know I have 3 heads and the size of a hippo ta, I'm just thinking I should stop messaging and it let it eventually happen. Given that they check out my profile first and then go on to click meet me it's just an odd thing to do if you were not a little interested. I have been on a few dates so believe I'm date able, unfortunately one was confused about his age and the other had 'drama' and here I thought we were the nutters.

In case

Spot on! (As ever - I'm sure the Mash must read PH).

Could be one if many on this thread!

Maybe there's a niche site for 3 headed hippo women searchers? Solved. You're welcome I think blokes have just as much mental potential as women, so you're onto something there... The throwaway nature of internet dating does seem to attract it's fair share of mental behaviour from both sides I'm sure. Still no profile link?

Well my life has reached a new low, applied for First Dates a few days ago.

Got talking to someone on POF, four years older, lives around 25/30 miles away, suggested meeting up and shes gone quiet. I really don't get the point of being on a dating site if you don't want to meet up. Or even starting to talk back if you aren't interested in me.

Talking to another, who does want to meet up, but won't be for a week or two sadly as when I'm free she is and vice versa.

Also decided to update my profile/photo, which seems to have helped.

I'm thinking of binning online dating, as I'm fed up of talking to women who, when you suggest meeting up just disappear.. I had one this evening who I've been messaging since yesterday.I asked her if she'd like to meet up.She asked me where I lived. Surprising, as it's front and centre on my profile. She then says "Oh! I'm in X,so you're too far away".Now bearing in my that she contacted me, couldn't she have just Google Mapped my location to hers, thus saving both of us wasting each others time?

Same here. Sadly the two I were talking to have gone quiet. Was talking to another, sorted to meet up twice, first time was cancelled as her dog wasn't well. Second time she forgot. Didn't bother after that.

Friend from work gave me the number of her friend, swapped a couple of texts, but we have nothing in common other than knowing this person! Bit of a age gap too, shes 43 and I'm 27.

I'm assuming you're taking the piss? If so, you're about as funny as Ebola.

I have no idea how you lot fail at this. I activated a Tinder account two weeks ago. Few matches (I literally swipe left 99/100) but conversation was tedious/mundane. Until I met my match. Same age, in to bikes, similar humour, we seem to have clicked. We are now in to our second week of several dates and can talk on the phone for hours. Last night we went ice skating, but due to an error on the rink's part we also blagged tickets to our first ice hockey game, which was, different.
I've stopped partying and am ready to settle. I've so far had a great time with him. Fate will lay us a path. And I'm happy to see where it takes us.

It has been shown time and time again that internet dating is like shooting fish in a barrel for women.
