A rather attractive nurse 10yrs my junior has said we can discuss our relationship goals when ask I her out on a date...
Turns out being a bit cheeky works out (sometimes)!
1 date and talking about a relationship already...Turns out being a bit cheeky works out (sometimes)!
k everything that moves and the others looking to settle down soon. No sense in wasting each others time

I know it was mentioned in earlier volumes of this thread, but has anyone been using Badoo recently?
One of the guys I work with has been smashing loads on there, and from the photos he's shown he's punching above his weight quite comfortably
Used it before with no success and tried again recently. Certainly, Brighton, it's dead. One of the guys I work with has been smashing loads on there, and from the photos he's shown he's punching above his weight quite comfortably
Not problems with Tinder, Hinge and a couple of others.
Either I've got the wrong face for Badoo or it's just not big in my area/age range.
Plenty of Fish has turned in a complete waste of time, used to be bad but throw up some interesting dates every once in a while. Guess there are so many better options now.
Been playing with Inner Circle recently, never heard of it before. It's like Tinder for rich people, lot's of incredibly attractive successful women on there. All a bit odd as every photo is ridiculously professional and allot look like linked in photos.
Anyway, got a date with a chartered accountant from there on Saturday. Chatted for an hour or two on Sunday and she seems nice.
Should have my new Tinder shots back from the photographer in a few days, as promised I'll put them up here due to all the compliments and constructive feedback I'll no doubt receive

I'm nearly 40, Tinder and Hinge easily work out the best for me, Bumble is alright too.

I just take it you mean you had photos taken by a decent photographer to put on a dating app.?
Sounds like a good idea tbh, male and female are so visual, which is natural.
Myself on the market soon and was going to stick with some very average photos so their hopes are not too expectant.
But there again your like rate might not be as high and you could be missing out on a lady you really want and are really compatible with.
As always, apps = right place at the right time.

No no and no! Reel them in, they might be a little disappointed with looking a bit uglier then make up for it with charm/wit/humor. If you go the other way, you will never get to meet them.I just take it you mean you had photos taken by a decent photographer to put on a dating app.?

Yep, you are rightThe amount of women that over do it though, according to the guys I talk to. When they meet it’s a major disappointment.
Guys do get away with it more if they dish the charm up and have a good personality.
So. Yes, I sort the photos

Yeah, got a guy who does this professionally and is also a stylist/model/personal shopper. Not only taking some decent high-quality shots but getting the clothes for the shoot sorted too. I just take it you mean you had photos taken by a decent photographer to put on a dating app.?

Good photos make a massive difference to results, lot's if guys you're competing against have up the time in. It's a bit of an arms race, used to get great results just with some random snaps I grabbed off Facebook, not so much any more.
People always expect you to look better in your photos, had a fair few comments I looked better in real life. If only I could have said the same back

My buddy doesn’t do meals on first dates, he takes them out for a walk with the dog. Romantic innit, haha
I did that with my current partner (6 years now, time together not her age given some of the posters on here). Meal dates can be painful if you don't click, whereas dogs are massive part of my life (and needed walking anyway) so it is easy to relax and get to know someone - I find less barriers with that approach.Not a date with the dog, I might add

posed studio photos will do nothing but make you look like a nerdish desperate weapon.
Isn't that the reason we are all here?You know I think the issue is that we think a relationship will solve all our problems, a panacea for all our woes.
Then we end up in a relationship with most of the same problems as we did before along with new ones and additional complexity.
But yes, we chase women until we make the mistake of catching one.
You mix up some really high-quality money shots with some normal ones with your mates or doing a fun hobby. Skydiving and holiday in Norway last year might make me look richer than I am, still paying that off!
Still, the point of a dating profile is to put your best foot forwards rather than struggling under the misbelief that self-sabotaging your chances at the first stage is somehow a more authentic way to go.
Worked through my dating bios with the same guy tonight and changed the tone and made it more fun and less specific.
Interested to see the results, got two decent matches with it tonight so can't be too bad.
Pictures going up here Sunday or early next week.
