I just deleted my POF account yesterday. It was rough. So many beautiful girls with some not too far away from me and got barely any replies.
I'd like to think i'm a good looking guy and I thought I gave a good description of myself etc but it was so depressing.

So many girls saying they want 'someone that will make them laugh' or 'to treat them right' etc and then they don't even message back.

Sorry.....Rant over

I know the feeling as a previous poster said towards the start of this thread. There are 3 types of people on internet dating sites (I've added the percentages based on my experience only)

Those looking to boost their ego 50%
Those looking for just sex 40%
Those who are there to chat and meet people and have noble intentions 10%

The garage hasn't been used in a while. Cobwebs, rust, creepy crawlers, you name it! The door is jammed too.

So, was out last night and had a good night for the most part but headed to the crane lane last and the place was mobbed and I wasn't quite drunk enough...It was not very enjoyable! I am just not able for this anymore!! Then had to wait around for taxi - eventually got home around 3.30. I definitely think it's better to go out earlier and finish up earlier - perhaps more likely to meet some decent sober guys but having said that, obv still hasn't happened for me!!

That's what I find difficult on a night out. As a non-drinker, the confidence isn't flowing i'll admit but it can be difficult to go up to a beautiful girl and try and get a conversation going. Never really sure if they want ya to approach them.

I completely get that and that's what's so frustrating as well is that the decent ones are usually too shy/nervous to go up to a girl just like I would be way too nervous/shy to go up to a guy I liked! It's a vicious circle!

I know I would love it if a girl came up to me but I understand why women might not be keen on lads coming up to them. They have to deal with a lot of drunken creeps and guys rarely get a woman coming up to them.

Men chat away to me. I must look friendly.

You must have a nice, open face. My sister is the same, men stumble over me to talk to her! I think if you smile, look friendly and open, men will come up to you.

Nozzer · 22-02-2015 1:30pm

Ok I've finally taken the leap and decided to join in! A very long time lurker here with many of the same experiences as all of you. I'm 31 and ever so slightly giving up on it ever happening for me. I was talking to this guy online recently about how hard it is to meet people and it hit me...I live a life completely surrounded by women! I went to an all girls secondary school, a teacher training college, work in a school which has an almost all female staff, live with women, lots of my friends are teachers too so they don't have male friends etc, work in a charity shop on Saturdays with you guessed it...ALL women!!! Yes I'm female btw

It sounds funny but it sucks to be honest. Obviously meet men on nights out but we know the on going battle that is!!

That's more or less me! Went to all girls primary and secondary school, work in a place that's female dominated and any males there are either married or not my type or both! Never had much interaction with guys throughout most of my life.

chrysagon · 22-02-2015 1:41pm

well ladies, ye picked the right thread!!!!!
A friend is like a book: you don’t need to read all of them, just pick the best ones.

22-02-2015 1:41pm

Add me to that list. Went to all-boys schools since I was 8, have always worked with guys for the most part. The only exceptions were my boss in my old job, who was lesbian anyway, and in my current job there's two women old enough to be my mother! So finding someone through work is out of the question.

I do have quite a few female friends though, but not as if anything ever happened with them.

But like what are you meant to do - go around with a big grin pasted across your face?! I actually have no idea what my face is like on a night out (!) but I would hope that I don't look sour, although I have got comments in the past "cheer up, it may never happen" - that ****e! Although now I'm beginning to think there may be some truth to that!!! It may never happen :-(

Now you say that, I was on a work night out in Dundalk a couple of years ago and my boss was talking to me, when a local girl came over and started chatting to us. She asked me why I looked sad; didn't even know I did!

I work as a computer programmer, so pretty much an equal but opposite problem.

I know a lot of people complain about being friendzoned, but honestly at this stage I'd probably welcome that, just so I can have a little bit of interaction going. Talking to women isn't something I'm generally good, and I'm not getting any better in such a male dominated industry.

Anyone else fed up with being single right now?
