Humourous Tips for the Opposite Sex on dating sites.
-
02-05-2010 11:03pm#1I frequent dating sites.
They make me laugh and get me dates. Some wonderful funny nights were had on many the occasion and the odd ducking out for a smoke and running like a handbag thief to get away from the nutters.
Anyway, I just thought it would be funny to share some observations and gain some feedback from the other silent majority who use them and then pretend like you met through mutual friends or in Coppers.
1. Uggos, stop posting pictures of you hiding in a gaggle of your mates. (That's me in the middle is a usual example, cue pic of lady hidden behind some stunner, increased traffic click, yes. Increased dates, nil. Having a visual line up in one pic, well it's blind date suicide.
2. Sex sells, get a low cut top pic in there. Men are stupid and shallow. Deal with it. Online dating sites are full of stupid and shallow people, like me. Yes. Like me
3. Post current pics. If you're 30 posting pics of what you looked like ten years ago, you're getting stood up dear. Don't do that to yourself.
I'll leave the floor open, and before people start quoting parts of this thread and saying oh my god you're shallow and horrible and no wonder you have to resort to dating sites, lighten up, I'm exaggerating for the sake of AH, yes deep down I'm just another lonely old soul searching for Mrs Right and sleeping with Mrs Wrong.1

Remember that really hot girl you were meant to meet in Kylemore on O'Connel St. and it turned out to be a fat middle aged man with a box of chocolates? Yea, that was me.0 -

1. Don't tell me after two emails that you're going to come down from Meath on your tractor and pick me up. Although there's probably never a good time to slot that one in.
2. Don't email me from America saying that you come over to Ireland on business trips. If I was looking for quick shags, I'd just go to a nite club.
3. Bad spelling, bad punctuation, bad grammar :mad:. You're trying to sell yourself through the written word, it's all I have to go on so make a frigging effort and get a friend to check it for you!
4. Don't have pictures of you with your ex on your profile. It tells me you're still pining for them!
5. Romantic dinners and walks on the beach (TM) are all well and good, but it's hardly something you do all the time now is it? Unless you're going out with a string of women, in which case you can bog off
6. Be yourself :pac:0 -

That is something I do all the time! As is making sure that there's fresh flowers all the time. Not hard to be romantic. I think people just expect too much/are expected to do too much.0 -

Marry me!:)
For some bizarre reason, I have never once gotten flowers from men I was seeing. Despite dropping heavily disguised hints such as 'Will you buy me flowers?' Hmmmm maybe I was being too subtle!
I do
I will send flowers to the workplace, or bring some home. Every 2 weeks or thereabouts (depends how long the flowers survive). In all honesty though, I dont see why not. It doesnt take much to do a little. Saying that, women have always screwed me over!! (Not in a good way!) *shakes fist :pac:0 -
I've frequented dating sites. Some tips:
1. Avoid posting pics of your attractive sister and passing them off as you. Especially if you resemble the Exxon Valdez.
2. Don't launch into tales of woe on a first meeting.
3. Beg, buy, borrow or steal some social skills if you don't have any.
4. Never assume you'll get on as well in real life. 0 -

See that's your problem. Flowers should only be used sparingly. Every 2 weeks and the effect is going to wear off.0 -

That probably is where I go wrong. Saying that, I do other things every now and again (little surprises) instead. I think Im just too nice

You're being way too nice, personally I like a guy who's sound and treats me like a princess but still has it in him to act like a psycho every now and then esp if I push him too far. You want someone who has a bit of a b*astard in him cos its manly, otherwise it makes him to wimpy and easy to abuse. Be a bit more of a pr*ck the odd time and you'll be grand but be sure and balance it out by being perfect the rest of the time! 0 -

Lol what? Am I missing something here? Nah I went out with a guy who was way way too nice before to the point where it almost seems desperate and I find that a bit hard to respect for some reason after a while. You want a guy with balls and the odds are if you're buying flowers that often you're too soft. Personally I need someone to stand up to me as I get too bossy otherwise and I respect a fella that puts his foot down and tells me to cop on every now and then (obviously only when I need to be told ). Finding the balance between being sweet and romantic but still strong and masculine is important and above all else don't come across as being desperate (like don't be buying flowers every 2 weeks in the first month of seeing someone who was otherwise a complete stranger to you). 0 -

Stiff cock syndrome. Deep down every girl just wants a good stiff cock in them and men should never forget that.0 -

Had to log in to thank your post, QFT.
I thought I was the only one.
I've never met anyone from a dating site because any time I go on im with someone it's awful and I would dread meeting someone like that in person! Especially if he was like the ass hat who's been waving at me the ENTIRE time I've been writing this post (ad at bottom of screen grrrr)0 -
don't know about the rest of the county but Cork girls think they're Kate Moss and have an attitude to match, unfortunately most are more like Peat Moss (no typo
)
so my advice is to develop a thick skin
'Cork' girls thats such a hillarious generalisation. I guess you've been rejected by a few then?Daisy Steiner wrote: »Had to log in to thank your post, QFT.

Nah I'd say theres a few of us alright! 0 -

i thought this was the start of a beautiful relationship, until an couple of posts down i see
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts
which leads me to another tip .. watch out for the players Lol I'm not a player! I'm well into the whole monogamy thing actually, surely rejecting someone else doesn't count? 0 -

Ah I know I was only messing In my experience as lovely as the little things are as the years go by in a relationship the bigger things can be appreciated too though leading onto my next point..Deleted User wrote: »When it comes to expecting gifts you should'nt ask for something for to do so makes the subsequent gift valueless.
No, I disagree and I think it depends on the relationship. Me and the boy have been together 6 years, we live together, share money, bills, a car etc and are usually broke (students). I always ask him what he wants for a gift because we can't just afford to go and buy things we want when we feel like. Although he didn't ask for it I got him the xbox because I knew he wanted one but would've felt too guilty spending our money on something just for him. If he'd asked for it specifically I wouldn've had no problem with that at all.
At the stage we're at we se christmas/birthdays/anniversaries as a chance to get something we wanted for ages but hadn't been able to justfy spending the money on. Theres plenty of room for romantic gestures aside from getting gifts anyway. Personally I prefer handpicked wildflowers, far more romantic when its possible.0 -
