Dating sites....

Dating sites... mmm....so far I've found them a waste of time!

You'd think that if people were desperate enough (no insult intended, I'm browsing myself :) to go on them that they'd at least make an effort. It seems not. It's so time consuming browsing page after page of illiterate losers! Apologies if that sounds harsh but it really is unbelievable some of the profiles you find. Let me find an example...

'get bored in home so most of the time i am around the net looking for funny stuff.
would like to chat with other people and have a big laugh in front of the monitor.
if you wanna chat just send a message and i will reply.'

'whomen
I fell lonly and I just need some one to cominiked have a nice time maby we can be good frined in the fitur I all so need some normal friend to have a travel arown the world to see things to know mor'

I mean what on earth are they thinking?

I appreciate that many people find this sort of thing hard but these guys need to swallow their pride and get some help with it if they want any sort of success. Again it's that 'issue' men have with asking for help. The problem is they won't find what they are looking for if they don't sort out their profiles! If I was a guy finding it hard I'd ask a female friend to help me with it. I wonder how many of them are genuinely baffled as to why they haven't had any replies?

I've been looking for a single guy 28-38 with no children looking for dating/long term.

The big no no's for me are...
- unclear photos/sunglasses,hats,blurred and too many posey facial shots taken by the person themselves - arm stretched out. I want to see at least one facial smiling shot, one full body shot and an action shot... either out either the guys, playing a sport etc...
- txt spk - ther's nuthin mor unatrractiv an off puttin! Geez if people can't spell they should get some help or use spell checker. Again if the guys dyslectic (nothing wrong with that) get some help!
- 'don't know what to put here so email me and ask whatever you want to know'. If they can't be bothered to create a well thought out profile, girls with half a brain won't be bothered to contact them. I don't want to have to ask what they are into and waste time on conversation when we have nothing in common.
- 3 lines of text. It's just laziness. Unfortunately there's no filter when you're searching to filter out people who have only written 3 lines.
- 'I have been hurt in the past and I've had some funni dates. I know there's some time wasters and phsyco girls on here so if this is you don't contact me'

Number one, anybody that is mentioning past relationships, shows they are still holding a grudge.

Number two, I lost count of how many times I've seen funny spelt with an i.

Number 3, half decent girls will be put off by the last line hence the only people the ad will attract are the people he doesn't want to attract the bunny boilers!

Maybe I should contact them and offer to sort out their profiles ... for a small fee of course ;-) Lol

  1. Whilst I never made a connection through the various dating sites I've visited, I have actually met 3 women who posted to the sites. The women lived in my current town and I struck up conversations with them when they visited a local bookstore/coffee house.

    What I discovered is: They were Nothing like their descriptions on the sites. I am referring to their personalities and/or current personal lives, not their physical attributes. The one who said she was shy was actually rather mean to the hired help and controlling. The one who said she had to take public transportation due to being financially ruined (but loving life because she appreciates the small things in life again) drove a brand new Lexus. And the one who said she was never married nor had kids was sporting a huge diamond ring whilst kissing her husband and scolding her children.

    It seems fakes and flakes come in all shapes, sizes, and genders.

    Bea, you should offer a Dating Profile Consultation service. Believe me, many if not most dating service posters are clueless on how to create an interesting few paragraphs to spark some interest in the opposite sex! =)

  2. This is so funny! I am glad not to be the only one to moan at people's inability to spell or even put sentences together in profiles!
    I have done the dating site thing a couple of times, it has been nice to meet people eventually, there are some really interesting men on there, but I find it is like escorting, very random, one can be extremely lucky at times and find a rare pearl.

  8. Love your blog. I like dating site a lot. But these years, we always hold our phone on hands at any time and any where. So I think dating app is more convenient for most of us. LargeFriends App will save your time to date online.

  9. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
