Not a slight on you or other partakers here but I genuinely have no idea why people sign themselves up to dating websites??

Adultfriendfinder on the other hand I have a lot of time for smile

I have read this numerous times and I cannot for the life of me tell whether you are trying to funny or not...

I am guessing it is a bit of a bash at the old 'why can't you just go out and meet someone in real life' type response.

In which case I think you have would have been much better just saying it outright rather than trying to hint at it.

It is a site more dedicated to the outdoorsy, fitness, health-conscious types rather than any old dating site. At least you know that you have shared-interests from the start - that's partly why I chose it!

Hope that helps.

I personally have never thought 'dating website' when sniffing for flange and I don't really understand people who do think dating website?

There is way too much potential for fk ups for my liking.

Well with phrases like 'sniffing for flange' I would imagine that the dating websites are pretty pleased you haven't thought about them...

Oh get over yourself. I've got a different opinion to the OP (and you it seems). Shock fking horror. Diversity is alive and well.

Yes, I agree; I have a disused profile. Don't see why I should pay for it given that chances are slim. Same old crap. Just no obese women.

Shouldn't really bother replying but seriously....

You came into a thread which you have obviously no interest in to just take the piss out of someone who simply asked if anybody else had experience with a specific dating site.

And you are telling me to get over myself??

What was the purpose in your reply? Just to let the OP know what you think about people who go on dating sites?

Jeez...

I'm just going to ignore him Bales, best option really.

I have my reasons for joining that site and I'm sticking with them!

It was inferred in your first post, whether you meant it or not. Wasn't even a helpful post.

Well if that's what you inferred then I apologise. I was merely stating that I didn't understand the decision you'd made. You obviously have your reasons and fair play to you. I obviously won't be one of your competitors on said site!! wink

TBH you're better off on somewhere like Match or MSF. Fitness Singles has very few members and those that are there aren't exactly 'fit' if you know what I mean. Trust me I know...

There are a few on there. I'm in Central London so maybe a greater number of them here? I'm signed up for 3 months so will see how it goes. No expectations really as I am a virgin (so to speak) at this . . . otherwise I might give Match a go later. . .

Pardon my virgin dating experience (awaits another extravagant ShadownINja misquote biggrin ) but what is MSF? Comes up as Medecins Sans Frontieres in Google biggrin
