What's wrong with cyber dating? :)

It allows you to filter out people who are already attached and people who are clearly unsuitable.

Thanks for the advice, although I'd like to think that I'm already smiley, kind and polite! :)

Thanks

Jeff

Get yourself into dancing classes, painting classes, whatever. Don't ever show any kind of desperation and always be smiley, kind and polite. Don't be easy, if you know what I mean. In a certain way, behave like a girl (but only in this way)!!

Be like that for 6 months. Watch who's who. You'll be increasing dramatically your changes. Good luck ;)

You're missing my point. Go out and meet people ;)

From the lack of success I've had on dating sites, that might be my best (and only!) option! :)

Dating sites are full of women looking for dates

Either your approach is all wrong, or you look like Carlos Tevez

Neither actually!

As this review of a dating site shows, you can be a good looking, friendly guy (if you'll excuse the immodesty!), and still struggle on a dating site: http://www.ciao.co.uk/match_com__Review_5799346

The reason I said that Jeff, is because 3 years ago me and two mates registered on Plentyoffish

We had an immature game to see who would get the most responses & I had about 25 women actually contact me

I just assumed all dating sites would be the same

Did you not worry you were playing with the women's emotions? They could have thought that they'd found the man of their dreams, only to have their hopes dashed! :)

I'm actually on Plenty Of Fish myself.

I have had some women contact me, but generally not women I've been attracted to! Sod's Law, I suppose! LOL! But I believe my profile tells women that I'm a nice guy (and no, I won't post a link to prove it! :) ). And whilst I'm not as young as I used to be, I'm not unattractive, if I do say so myself!

Very funny! :)

I'll probably regret this, but from what I've said, it won't be too hard for people to find the link. So to save you the bother, here it is:

That depends on your motivations for wanting to fix me up with her! :) LOL!

Hi Jeff,

I signed up for the biggest one, OKCupid,just out of curiosity really.

A couple of things you need to realize:

*The dating websites are largely looks based- unless you are fortunate enough to be a guy in the top 20% in the looks department, its hard to get replies. You need a really good photo, preferably one which has an interesting background or shows you doing something interesting. I suspect your photo is not that great, get a good shot of you outdoors by the ocean (for example) or in an unusual location and I think you'll find you get a better response rate.

*Any girl with decent looks on a dating website gets bombarded with hundreds of messages a week and thus is only going to end up replying to a few of them.

*Experienced users warn its just like the bar scene on steroids. They don't call them 'meat markets' for nothing (see the above two points). Neither bars nor dating websites are good places to meet girls unless you are a PYT ('Pretty Young Thing'), because the girls are jaded and on the defensive due to getting hit on all the time, and only really respond favorably to really attractive guys. Basically its for PYTs looking to hook up with other PYTs.
