Match.com (Volume 6)
Discussion
I am far from an expert, although I am currently in a relationship with a woman I met on match, and my tactic would be to make a comment/ask a question based on something in their profile or photo. This is much better than a generic "how are you?" - they will get dozens of these per day (even the munters).
This might be harder on tinder where profile text is often non-existent. If in doubt, give them a bit of cheek.

Just wondering what peoples opinions are on paying for Match? I managed to get eHarmony cheap, but I don't know if its me doing something wrong, but my matches are either people from miles away, or not logged on for the last month.
Friend used Match, and seen a few on here that have got on with it, but its a bit more expensive than eHarmony.

Basically, this ... Everyone opts for the 'how are you?' or 'how was your weekend?', as an opening line. I normally highlight that such a question is too easy and unimaginative, to which I follow up with an interesting question that could apply to anyone e.g. holidays, your goals for this year, something cheeky!This might be harder on tinder where profile text is often non-existent.

I just had a match who started with the opening line; "Type away then ..."
A bit tainted by matches who do not converse? I think I might give her a miss!

As she failed to specify which currency (just a dollar sign) have a few hours fun and then whip out a wad of Jamaican dollars and pay her off. Would mean she's earning significantly below national minimum wage...
This has mileage, although it would be best to make sure she doesn't have a violent pimp on hand...

Im trying to assist him with completely honest truth.
I did the same with several of my friends when they saw the fun I was having, even made one a £100 bet that if I modified his profile on PoF, I could get at lease 12 females messaging him in 2 days from the 0 in 2 weeks he was on... He did quite well out of that profile rewrite and I got my £100.
I dont lie about a persons hobbies, etc.
I just change the wording so it didn't sound lame and the main bio didn't sound desperate.
What are your fees for a profile rewrite?

For some reason tinder has gone mental over the last 24 hours. Loads of matches, 4 phone numbers, a date on Saturday and some decent photos from another one. I am still unsure on what to do with the 41 year old though.
Swipe right on everything, EVERYTHING. Sort it out at a later date. Or don't if you really aren't fussy.

Nicely done sir.Swipe right on everything, EVERYTHING. Sort it out at a later date. Or don't if you really aren't fussy.
Had similar conumdrum with a 45 year old (I'm 33), never ended up meeting her as had plenty of dates with younger models. She did look stunning but pictures can be very kind as you soon find out in this game...
Having braught it up here and got us all wondering it's only fair you take her out for a test drive and report back with a detailed review.
Not a fan of swiping right for everything as you end up getting all excited when that Tinder 'ping' goes off only to be confronted by a monster who has already sent you a pleading message.
Stick to ones you would only sleep with sober because even if the date is a car crash and she looks like Josie Cunninghams ugly sister after a few doubles there is a grim inevitability to the lack of judgement you'll show. Might be judging you by my standards there :P

I'm now talking to 41 year old ... It's not the same 41 year old, is it? I can concur - Both Tinder and PoF have been crazy tonight. I haven't instigated any messages, yet I've received 3 messages on PoF alone, this evening.
Valentine's Day approaches ... Co-incidence?
I mentioned that a few days ago, it's the good old find a date for the 14th panic. I can concur - Both Tinder and PoF have been crazy tonight. I haven't instigated any messages, yet I've received 3 messages on PoF alone, this evening.Valentine's Day approaches ... Co-incidence?
What you write in the profile is of secondary importance. If your picture doesn't show the type of guy she's looking for (Beckham/Clooney/Pitt/whoever lookalike) then she's not going to bother reading your profile.
Here's an example posted by a good looking woman "am attracted to clean shaven guys who are 5ft 11/6ft with longish dark hair the way David Cassidy used to wear his in the 70s, also like Jeff Conaway in Taxi, Richard Dean Anderson in McGyver, Joey Gian in Knots Landing, Jon Hensley in Wounded Heart & Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful." So if you don't meet those requirements it's unlikely she'll read your profile.

Thanks muchly to everyone for the advice. This is my revised profile:
Scientist (student), pilot (flown a glider a couple of times. And a kite, don't forget the kite.), racing driver (spent £90 on a red letter experience day. Once). Good times guaranteed (cringe).Du1point8 said:

which is kind or proved when the profile is like this.So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Anyway, got another match. She's a rather nice looking law student, half Greek.
I've been thinking of something original to say, but again there's not much in her profile.
How does "would you rather be the naughtiest nice girl I've met, or the nicest naughty girl?" sound
