Lovelorn PHer recounting his indoor karting to bored date, sorry I mean super model nympho:
Yeah well I went down there the first day it opened right, and I did a couple of laps, I pulled over, the bloke that runs the thing comes over and said - Oi no professionals. I took my helmet off, I said I'm not a professional. He said - you're not a profesional? I said - No, he said - well you should be, if I was you I'd take up Formula One, and if you drive like that you'd probably be the best in the country! I said - I'm not interested I'm making s
t loads out of computers.
i'm having a bit of a crisis because i can't tell if this is the funniest thing i've read in ages or a worryingly genuine post (but still v funny).

I'm on PoF, OKCupid, Tinder and Happn - have been for several months.
Not a single bite off any of them - no-one even registering an interest.
Oh well, leave more time for car tomfoolery, xBox and masturbation I guess...
Go on Tinder, and swipe 'Like' about 50 times.Not a single bite off any of them - no-one even registering an interest.

You're guaranteed to get at least a few bites unless your Ted Bundy or something.
They don't even have to be lookers, or your type, just snag a few and have some chit chat. I'm crap at initialising convo with girls unless I already know them somehow, or I'm with mates (#LadBanter etc..), but Tinder is the easiest way to just break your own ice and build some confidence.
Well, I'm back on POF after a 4 year relationship went down the pan, not easy when she doesn't get on with your parents, and you want to move back to your home town, which is 400 miles away!
I've actually paid for match.com, thinking there would be a better likelihood of someone on there at least wanting to talk to me, but been on there for a month now and not even a sniffle of anything, despite my best efforts! Signed up for POF tonight, will see what it brings, hopefully not just another way for people to ignore me!

After using POF for some time I did one of the "free weekend" things with Match and eHarmony, thinking like you I'd get some better results as its a paying service. It turned out that 99% of the people on the paid for sites were also on POF, so if they didn't want to talk to me on that site I couldn't see them wanting to talk on another site.I've actually paid for match.com, thinking there would be a better likelihood of someone on there at least wanting to talk to me, but been on there for a month now and not even a sniffle of anything, despite my best efforts!

In fact as long as they have all their limbs intact its reasonably fair game...

Did you read my advice earlier? Get a female mate to review your profile. You must have a fundamental flaw in it somewhere for this to be the case.In fact as long as they have all their limbs intact its reasonably fair game...

I hate to point this out to you, but you don't get to decide what is 'unrealistic'; they do. In fact as long as they have all their limbs intact its reasonably fair game...

Just on this point I have witnessed interesting evidence following the introduction of "superlikes" on tinder and the "charm" facility on happn (ie the advance heads up knowing that someone is chasing you rather than a mutual swipe to the left).A good-looking chap I know gets regular superlikes and charms from a whole array of very, very middle of the row women. You wonder if they are on the same planet in terms of thinking they might get a match but it goes to show the imbalance in terms of perceived playing level.
I'm certain it happens the other way around too but it does seem well beyond a test of confidence being attractive in itself...
And herein lies your problem - men always believe they are much more attractive than they are, and tend to get angry or abusive when turned down.
If none of the women you want to date agree, then yes, you are being unrealistic. This doesn't make them 'unicorn hunters', 'dykes' , etc. it makes YOU deluded and ultimately unsuccessful.
Part of this might be because a lot of the single women/divorcees I know prefer living alone, have good social networks so are not in any hurry to accept some random bloke into their lives.

Again, you miss the point by thinking that you can rate the women (5-7 out of 10) but HOW DARE THEY RATE MEN! Especially when their rating system doesn't tally with yours. And - more news - not all women want to get married, to live with someone, to have a monogamous relationship. They just can't be as open about it (slut v player).
