PoF is full of the worst kind of council estate entitled fat horrible 8 childrened slags anyway. Better off oot.
But on the flipside it’s better than a dry w
kYou tend to end up in one of two scenarios.
1)By the second date they are making hints about jobs that need doing around the house, or "the car is making a funny noise". By the third or fourth date they are making hints about meeting their children.
2)After one date, you literally cannot get rid of them. They will constantly message you, or try and call you and no matter how many times you ignore them they will continue. If you stupidly answer the phone they will be in tears and be literally begging you to see them, offering to literally do anything and cook you anything you like. Sounds like a dream scenario, but if do go over it will get worse and worse.
The only way to play it is to be upfront as possible and explain how you don't want to date and you are just after a bit of fun. Amazingly enough a lot of them are OK with this, and are happy with someone to have dinner with and sex on their weekend off from the children.
In my experience with POF it’s obvious that many women are plate spinning to a large degree, and their messages are just enough to keep you interested but no dating going on. I don’t take it at all seriously - no doubt they pick up on this…
However, I did go out with one in 2018 that was “good fun” but her purse had a chronic inability to leave the confines of her handbag.
The ratio of women to men on these sites in my age range (47-57) is 2:1.
The hidden message on so many profiles is one of “you better to be wealthy to take me out” just gets tiring…
When I was around meetup and its many events, it’s not unheard of these events to be 4:1

I've probably joined Match at a particulary difficult time. Last week in fact.
I've had some really decent messages and follow on conversations, which has sparked my interest in a few pepple, but now, I'm at the point where messaging is becoming rather limiting.
Sure, it can turn into a telephone cnversation (I have 4 numbers to progress which is great) but after spending all day on work calls, and Teams chats, the thoughts of having further discussion in the evening, is really not that exciting.
There is one lady in town who I will meet up for a walk with, but another 2 are 20 miles away, near the coast, so walking is great option, but travelling there to do it isn't really fitting within the guidelines.
The other is 25 miles away in the other direction so a similar issue.
I'm not sure i've got the stamina for telephone calls for the next 6+ weeks in the face of not actually properly seeing them and having spent time with them first.
I also dont want to meet 1, without a chance to put the other 3 in the mix before I pursue anything.

well if you can't go on any dates then why are you pestering women and getting frustrated you can't meet them
Pestering? What a helpful reply. Ever used Bumble? The women contact the men

It appears many guys using the dating apps are having no joy
Women hold all the cards on them.
Considering that a man's value is generally not tied up in his looks then it's not really surprising. Women hold all the cards on them.
If I messaged or swiped (right?) on girls that I liked 30 times, I'd probably get f
k all out of it.If I chatted to 30 women in real life, I'd probably get a handful of them out on a date, maybe two/three on a second date and possibly one girlfriend out if it.
The difficulty right now is being able to play the numbers game given the current circumstances, which is frustrating.

There's absolutely fk all point joining any of these things at the moment unless you're willing to break the Covid rules.
There is absolutely every point in joining up, breaking the covid rules for a shag is about as close to exciting you will get as having an affair, only without the guilt of hurting someone else.k all point joining any of these things at the moment unless you're willing to break the Covid rules.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
