Anyone feel like they are just better off single? Recently come out of a very stressful 'relationship' with a girl who I really thought beforehand could have been something long term. In reality its best for both of us we went our own way, so not annoyed or pissed off, not angry, just a bit disappointed.
Ah well... there is always another one to shag.
I've felt like this for about 5 years. Quite content. I don't see it as an issue. Only social conformity that dictates people should want to be partnered. Ah well... there is always another one to shag.

Not just women that do this! Had a few time-waster blokes too! Absolutely baffling!
Yeah I was guilty of it, also fell foul of it too.Just the way of the world, and always has been.
I've actually deleted my accounts on POF & Match and just going to give it a rest!!

When it comes to reading profiles about their interests and whatnot, I read it in the opposite sense to see if it makes sense. If it doesn't then they're boring...
e.g. (in an extreme example)
"I love motorsport and horses"
becomes :
"I dislike motorsport and horses"
both of which are reasonable positions to take, You may not agree, but it's still a reasonable position
However,
"I like going out, having fun and socialising"
becomes
" I don't like going out, don't like having fun and don't like socialising"
...doesn't sound like a reasonable position to take, so the origina version should really go without saying... in the abscence of anything else, a profile that reads as unreasonable in the negative would put me off

That's assuming of course that you have hobbies and are more difficult to please than by simply leaving the house.

PH is a sausage goldmine anyway. Your inbox is no doubt overflowing!
I love a good euphemism. 
Been chatting to a girl on tinder for a couple of days. 18, training to be a mechanic, likes Xbox and drinking, and is very attractive. Brilliant distraction from my recently failed relationship 
First tinder date lined up next week with a nice girl but I'm concerned by her pics that she might be a bit chunky, they're all taken from a jaunty angle. She does seem lovely though so that doesn't really matter!
Didn't know what all the fuss was about until I downloaded it and had a go, wonderfully simple and could be out every night of the week for something to do. Spot on.

I have zero luck with Tinder. I'll match with someone and they won't reply to messages. It's been months since I had a reply on there tbhI, I don't know why they swipe right.First tinder date lined up next week with a nice girl but I'm concerned by her pics that she might be a bit chunky, they're all taken from a jaunty angle.

Just gets a bit tedious!! I genuinely didn't think that it would be that difficult! Very naive of me to think so!!

I doubt you need those accounts posting in this thread with that profile picture - bet you are inundated I've actually deleted my accounts on POF & Match and just going to give it a rest!!

Good point well made Match dead in your area? They don't seem to have had an advertising campaign in a long time now.
No new profiles in ages, so just the usual jaded, window shopping, unicorn hunters who are now in the final months of their 12 month deal around this way (from the last campaign match had) worse than pof at the moment! and that's saying something.
Tinders the same, has net dating gone the way of the dodo and Salsa?
