Done, had a look at yours and gave my honest advice, hope it helps

Can I also give you a tip for the on line dating.

If you are finding that you are not getting alot of messages, apart from getting someone to review your profile, as others will pick up on things that you might not.....always have about 3 pictures up and rotate the pictures, so change your main profile picture from time to time as the opposite sex will think that you are a new user and will look into your profile.

I dont know about you, but the same aul faces come up everytime I log in, and when you see a new picture of someone, its all very exciting....lol

So give it a try and see what happens

I wouldn't mind going but alas I have no babysitter and I am on the other side of the country the next day so it's not happening.

I don't know if it's just me but it doesn't bother me that much that I get blanked on those sites. I mean sometimes it does if I'm getting zero replies, but as long as I'm getting a few, I don't care so much if I'm blanked by the majority. One thing that does irk me a bit are girl who go as far as giving you their number, but who then don't reply or respond to calls or texts. Why bother in the first place.

I had a girl click yes on that meet me thing earlier. Checked out her profile, said "she isn't looking for any kind of a relationship as she is a commitment phobe". Glad she put that on her profile so I didn't waste my time getting in touch. It's not like I'm looking to get married tomorrow, but at the same time, not really looking to be a disposable cup for someone.

I need to get some new snaps!

Me too. There was some candid ones taken at the weekend so I should take a look at them and see if there is any useful ones.

newbee22

Candid ones are good, better than posed ones!! I have a fascination with making funny faces in pictures, my current favourite pose being a mocking of the duck face pictures, don't think they'd get me much attention!

G-Money

I'd advise girls not to put up the "pout like a trout" pics on their profile. They're kind of a turn off, for me at least. I much prefer normal pics where the person is just smiling normally.

newbee22

People would run for the hills if they saw my funny pics, mocking the bebo stunnah types for the laugh! Duck face is all the rage now and I don't understand it but still it's funny to mock it

dub5

Not trying to eliminate people who are not from Dublin, but for those that are, and are in theirs 30's, where does one go out at the weekend? I am getting sick of going to the same places all the time.

Just to point out, someone showing up as being online doesn't necessarily mean they are. I used to leave the phone app logged in all the time, but it didn't mean I was physically viewing the site.

That's peculiar. POF logs me out if I go 5 minutes without clicking on anything (ie: if leave it open in another tab). Bear in mind I'm on a computer as opposed to the app so maybe the app doesn't have an auto log out feature.
How does it work with everybody else?

PS: someone replied, the streak is broken!

On the app, it keeps you logged in all the time and yeh you are right, it will log you off after a certain amount of time on the computer

Tagged is a god awful site. Although there is a possibility of something happening for me with a girl who had bf at the time, a small possibility (.1%), but more chance than I've ever had with anyone

Not anymore. It's a long long long complicated story. I haven't met her or anything. She broke up at the weekend with him.

Polloloca

I just took my pics down from POF. Haha, I bet i'll get tons more messages sans pix.

G-Money

Mailed a girl on POF the other day, no reply. Last night I get an email saying she clicked Yes on the Meet me thing. What's that about?

Having a bit more luck lately.

Have started talking to a girl on okc and she is kind of great actually! We send quite long messages to each other. 5 or 6 at this stage... Surely time to bite the bullet soon and ask can we meet isn't it??

Yeah go for it, think that's an adequate amount of messages!

Never really got into OKC, does anyone rate any site above POF?

I joined Smooch last night and there seems to be a few more country pumpkins like myself than there are on the other sites!
