yeah I know what you are talking about - used a couple years ago and the women I met were very keen on gettin down to it within the first date or two. Made me wonder if they were all just hornbags lookin for a jump or if there was any genuine women on them. Although having said that, I did meet some very genuine women on a couple of them. I think there are enough around at the moment that are either very cheap or free so I wouldn't go paying for one. Have you tried Facebook either? That is good for weeding out nutters and getting to know someone for a while before meeting them..

Facebook is completely worthless for meeting new people. its only for gossip cliques really

yeah i keep saying any of the free or so called social networking sites have got to attract all the nut jobs..i know we are in a recession but honest the cost of a year on some of these sites is no more than a good night out or if you arranged to meet a nut job off a free site might be a very bad night out..........and a few days trying to say sorry to everyone .
so not been snobbish but am looking for a good pay dating site not a porn or swingers site fed up of worthless evening out in club etc

nah, the paid sites are just for the real dedicated nutjobs.

ya see there are nutjobs who are a bit odd in the head like myself and want to meet a beour but are having problems because they are a bit of a nutjob so they go on these free sites but aren't really all that keen and can live without it.

then there's the ones that are so obsessed with this stuff they start throwing money at it. this reeks of desperation and dedication to their possibly twisted desires

albert-bundy

do not get your logic so to you if people use a dating site its desperation while spending weekends penned in like cattle in the local club pub etc is the norm in life but serious am tired of the same old crap.... maybe i am missing the point or maybe i am the nutjob
but yep am willing to give these sites a go ..
heard good reports from busy professionals ,

towel401

its only desparation if you have to start throwing money at the problem. and the free ones are just a gateway to that

albert-bundy

think you still not with me....your more concerned about the money... do you gop to clubs etc do they charge an enterence fee and hike up the drinks prices is that not same desperation...or perhaps the idea of chatting one to one away from the heard is a bit scary ...but i think we are on opposite sides on this..to me its anything but desperation and if you look at the membership numbers on some of these pay sites there is a reason people use them or perhaps all of them are desperate and you are the lucky one

They are worth a toss if you can manage to get one....;)

nah, i'm a social outcast you see. i'm going to die a virgin. but thats alright because i'll continue to get cheaper car insurance

albert-bundy

hahaha ok see now we completely disagree i think there should be a levy on virgins they have far too much in the bank and do not spread their deposits around they are waiting for a big bang...
and cheeper car insurance hmmm does their hands not start to shake from the pressure backing up and reaction time must be brutal......i mean could you imagine them trying a hill start feck no quick release available

could you fit any more innuendos into that post if you tried? no probs with shaking hands or reaction time here from years of fapping. virgins have less accidents

Dating sites are great for checking out women while sober - for a change.

Nothing worse than waking up with a women you met the night before as she is taking off the make-up with a drill. There's DIY and there's DIY.

albert-bundy

ok since this add started i visited a few of the free one mentioned above...and guys while i have not yet checked out an 1rish paid ones i checked out an Asian paid site ,it was total difference in concepts ,it seems people who pay are the genuine very small percentage that actually use this medium seriously. On the free sites hmm..its full of loons and and sure mary from ballydung was really yer man and his brother

please give link to this site you were on, even pm me it.... a matter of interest you see

Maybefriends was the one I remember most for NSA fun and games - there was another I can't remember the name of. But to be honest - facebook is really easy for the same kind of thing and it's free..

I've used a few of them over the years. There are a lot of weirdo's (female) out there. Don't know anything about the male ones. For the most part, I've found the irish ones quite crap. I've had one or two nice dates out of roughly a dozen. The other dates i've happily forgotten.

One thing worth noting is that these sites are great for meeting foreign women living in Ireland, and they tend to be more successful, and without any danger signs.

These sites come into their own though in other countries. I used a few of them in Australia and loads of success. Same with China, and Japan. Didn't meet any weirdo's while abroad.

Word of warning. The free sites fake a lot of adverts just to rope guys into signing up. Even the paid sites do this. Its just a matter of having patience and sifting through the bull****. I find its a fun way of passing time on a Sunday night when i have nothing else to do.

Many foreigners take western names when they come over here. In China most girls will have a western name in addition to their own. From my own stance, if i cant meet a girl within three-four emails I don't really bother, unless there is a "fun" webcam session involved, or if she is outside the country.

use a bit of common sense when using dating sites, and you shouldn't have a problem. Check pictures for being too "professional" looking, seek a cam asap, and if they're in the same town/county meet them quick as. I tend to check email addresses used in the search engines, since you can get some suprising results. Also look at the format of emails to see if you think they're too canned. Unless you're looking for a penpal, there's no point pissing around sending emails for more than a week.

er ..........em..........duh siobhan from tuam been polish was a joke..........but er thanks for the slightly scary insight you seem to be a bit of an expert are you german by any chance ????east german near polish borber ...family of 3 mother called ania or anna ...see i am internet physic

Whosbetter?

A few years ago I tried them out.

Frm Carlow, so dated a lot of girls frm the leinster area.

Learned ONE big lesson.

Nearly all girls from here want total perfection, can't please 'em!

Dated 2 girls frm Galway & was totally gobsmacked by their attitude.
Well sound! They have a generousity of spirit that I had never seen before.

I'm now happily married to one!:)

My advice: Go West to find the Best!
