    Because thats the real life percentage isnt it? Or has porn lied to me all these years?

    I have always wondered why is was quite so high on OKC, a number of them have stated they have been with people of the same sex in thier questions responces so I dont think its just down to women pretending to seem more interesting, perhaps its because OKC seems to have a lower percantage of skangers they feel more comfortable about puting it on thier profile than POF where they would get hounded with horny messages suggesting threesomes.

    Well if they're not being honest about their sexuality, which I presume they're not, then how can you take anything else they say at face value !! :confused:

    I think it's unfair to presume they're all lying.

    I think I'll start asking for proof :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Maybe they want to experiment and that's why they're on the site? :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy

    Am a lurker for a while on this thread, enjoy reading others online experiences - a lot of them i can relate too.

    Being dabbling in it on & off for a while and have had a generally positive experiance - had a number of dates with different guys, didn't amount to anything due to no mutal spark, but good fun all the same.

    I moved to plenty of fish before christmas & am not getting anywhere, not even getting "hi sexy" messages :o or reply to any messages I send. Would appreciate if someone could have a look at my profile - just to have a 2nd opinion would be great.

    I am 38yo female btw

    PM me, and I'll look if I can help too. People did this for me here, and I appreciate their help.

    Had date 3 over the weekend, things are going swimmingly so far. Met on PoF so don't knock it til you try it! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    Long-time lurker of this thread and the old one.

    Been on POF off and on for the last 18 months or so (mostly off, to be fair). Met up with three girls, all of whom I got on great with but for various reasons nothing stuck. Decided over the last few days to dip my toe in the water and have been pretty happy with the messages I've had. Got chatting to two ladies and got a decent vibe off of both. One started off by criticising my profile as too long and too boring so I didn't have high hopes there but we chatted for a few hours back and forth last night and she seems very nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Had a rather lovely date 2 last night. She's still funny, clever and super hot. Looks like we're going for #3 on Thursday (no 2 week wait, yay!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭deaddonkey


    had 4th date this weekend, 5th for during the week, love spending time with her.

    Happy Donk.

    "Brenda meets the winners of Dirty Dancing competition"

    If I knew I'd be meeting Brenda I'd have intentionally ballsed up my chances of winning. Insufferable bint.

    In its entirity I think the online dating is completely unbalanced. Its demeaning and as far as I can see serves nothing more that an ego boost to bored little girls.

    I do think there are people who use online dating to massage their ego or check how hot they would be perceived as
    BUT I think there are lots of genuine people too but weeding them out can get tiring!
    Sometimes it can be very frustrating,


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    I've found internet dating to be a positive experience. I thought the dates would be weird and awkward but they weren't and I've found myself to have a lot more confidence with the other sex now than I did when I started with it 18 months ago.

    Plus I think every message received, whether we reply to them or not, is a nice little ego boost. It's nice to think that you're putting yourself out there and that someone has seen something in your pictures or your profile that they like the look of.

    To me, anyway.

    In the past 9 months I've dated several women and had a couple of short relationships. Bar one, they've all had some serious mental problems, mostly confidence issues relating to drinking / past drug use / control issues. Granted we've all got our issues but for me online dating feels like a trip through a junk yard. You might find that one car thats good but the majority are just junkers with one issue or another.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    The exact same could have happened had you met a few girls in bars. Sounds to me like you've just been unlucky.

    The giant tumbleweed just blew by my profile...................AGAIN. :rolleyes:
