I guarantee your profile depicts a loser. Likewise your general demeanour when out and about. THAT is what's unattractive, much more than your face.

Women do not like guys who feel sorry for themselves. They tend to like confident, smart, funny, able to take care of them type guys. Of course a few quid and a big cock might be a bonus. smile

If you cut out the high school weirdo stuff you might get somewhere.

I have a housemate who's successful on those sites. I've never understood what women find attractive about him since he's got primitive facial features, could say neanderthal-esq. Very thin, malnourished looking guy, and grey around the eyes - I attest that to a terrible diet. But there's nothing about this guy, can't cook, sh*t job, no style, class. He can't even spell in his native English. With that in mind I substituted his profile image for mine and changed nothing else. It wasn't long before women started interacting with this guy, so that disproves your theory. That said providing a guy's facially attractive the 'loser profile' wouldn't matter, if he'd been to jail or committed murder, that wouldn't matter either, so long as he's facially attractive.

Scary incel men that appear to be one step away from murdering a hooker and using the defence of "they deserve it because they're all naked under those clothes, the dirty dirty girls"

Or something like that anyway

Yes but good looking guys are the above in bold because they are good looking. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

When the ugo short fat man chts up a bird with cheeky chat she thinks its creepy or wierd. When the tom hardy lookalike does it its confident flirting.

Yikes.
This thread used to be quite an amusing collection of dating stores and (no doubt slightly exaggerated) updates of funny encounters, be them good, bad or disastrous... but seems it’s all gone a bit dark and weird in here.

Agreed, in fact it's precisely the point I was trying to make on the Alex Salmond thread, fat ugly guys have a harder time of it. Well duh... smile

But, assuming you're not the elephant man then an improved profile, better attitude and pair of baws goes a long way.

If I'm understanding you right all that proves is what you think women like or should like actually isn't what they do like. i.e. what you think isn't attractive, is to them. What you (or I) think is utterly irrelevant, it's what they want that's important.

Oh do shut up. That is such a bullst view on life but if you carry around such a view you'll use it to reinforce why you are failing and it isn't due to your face.

Indeed!

Can we pull it away from these posters please. These people should not imo be partaking in Online Dating, the rejection (that is par for the course) hits them too hard. And clearly affects their mood. These people need to fix THEMSELVES before going looking for someone.


* * * * * * *

ANYWAY. Back to the light and fluffies I'll add an anecdote biggrin


Bumble just "moderated" one of my pics. I could guess why they'd suddenly gotten all weird. The pic was an older one Id had on my profile since the start. Actually gets good comments. But contacted them and asked the question anyway.


Heres the highlights of the reply

"thanks for getting on touch... sorry you feel our moderations has upset you...Bumble was founded with safety in mind....online behaviour can both mirror and predict how people treat each other....

Then the mental part! eek

"As mass shootings continue to devaste communiites.. gun violence is not in line with our values... we will not allow any photos to be uploaded containing a gun of any kind"


You've probably worked out by now that it was actually a fking SUPER SOAKER! laugh

Specifically this one!




Ironically, they will allow guns in your pic if you are in the military or uniformed officer

I know you're pointing out the absurdity of their moderation, but who were you hoping to attract with a picture of a super soaker?

So I went to a bar. And this bar had an event on (some sponsorship with a drink) they were taking pics for their instagram. And had a table full of props. Silly hats, massive sunglasses, feather boas, a coconut! and this water pistol. The sort of thing, you see at wedding photobooths.

My mates and I, had a group pic taken. I've blurred their faces. It's not a serious picture clearly, but more than a few girls have commented favourably on it. It shows my silly side. Other pics include the obvious sports and obligatory smart suit at a wedding pic biggrin
