    The ratio of men whom you ask out to the number who will actually respond to your request for coffee: 7 to 1.

    The number of men you consider better looking than you who will answer any message at all, even "Help me, my hair is on fire and I live at 451 Linden St.!": 0

    The likelihood that the results of any search you perform for a match, no matter how detailed, will include pictures of men who only display their dicks: 100%

    Of the number of men who respond to your request for coffee, the percentage of which will end up on a second date with you: 10%

    Of that number, the percentage of which you agreed to go on a second date because you were too much of a pussy to say, "No, actually, I find you boring and your pictures were obviously taken when you were in High School or something": 50%

    Finally, the likelihood that you will actually find someone you like who likes you back and something 'clicks' and you end up in a relationship together:

    Hear hear! How c**p did gaydar etc. turn out to be once the initial novelty wore off? What a waste of time. Much better to meet people the old fashioned way I think. At least then you know whether or not you fancy 'em.

    Yeah, I deleted my gaydar account a while back and do not miss them in the least.

    I didn't delete mine because I'm an eternal optimist despite an extreme lack of having found anyone worthwhile yet...

    I personnally think I've a better chance of meeting someone worthwhile online, someone who'll like me for who I am, not how i look, to that end I've removed my pics from my profile and will only show them to someone I consider to be genuine.

    I havn't met many people from personnal's sites, 5 people I believe, 4 of which I met based on looks and didn't take much time to get to know them, I don't talk to them now, the other I met because we talked for some time and I believed him to be a nice person, I was right and now consider him a close friend.

    always give out your credit card details and personal information while chatting online

    That's right Stanley. It's also best to meet in a dark alleyway - that way you know you won't be interrupted! If you don't have a credit card, you should hand over laser card details: it's a show of trust. Gadyar is a great way to meet an interesting variety of freaks whom you'd never get to meet in the daily run of your life :)
