Why men have bad luck on online dating sites

Darlughda

So, if you be browsing through online dating sites what turns you off someone by their profile?

My ugghhh ones are:

Pics taken by web camera. Always makes someone look a bit in yer face and weirdly intense

Pics of someone boozing. Why oh why does anybody want to advertise themselves as a bit of a drinker?

Profiles that start with...'Not much good at this..don't know why I'm here......don't know what to say... Yeah. ok so first date is bound to so exciting on the conversation front.

Profiles that conclude with...'anything else just ask'..... em. unneccessary. If there was anything interesting to begin with, the asking would be the obvious next step.

So, am tired of people moaning they haven't had more success on dating sites, but from a female point of view, have you checked out the seriously lame profiles and pictures from men there?

The fact that they are on a dating site.

Internet dating sites are just another type of knockin' shop aren't they. People actually use them to find real relationships?

OutlawPete

Never even browsed a dating site, are you saying that women's profiles are far better, more detailed with better photos?

If so, why in your opinion, is that?

What you need to remember is that men begin creating their profile when they're feeling a bit fine and dandy. Get bored entering all the info. Think 'feck this'. Visit Xhamster for relief.

I used to use dating sites all the time before I got married. Though back then, they were called pubs.

Ah jayzus, OLPete, relax the cacs, this is not a male vs.female type of thread. Well, I bloody well hope not!

Anyways, there has been loadsa posts recently from our lovely gents in various forums wondering why online dating sites are no use to them. Maybe, just maybe my highlighting frequent turn offs may enlighten those?

By all means, start your own thread, in order to enlighten us females regarding what turns you off a dating site profile. But the again, you can't as you have 'never even browsed a dating site'.

So, be a little bit more reticent with your opinions, please?

I just asked you why you in your opinion, women put more effort into their profiles than the men do, what's wrong with that?

up for anything

I find it really funny when you get someone, whose profile says that they are a great conversationalist and would prefer a first date to be dinner, rather than the cinema, so we can talk; and the fishing PM says, "Hi". And why, oh why, would you think that a woman wants to see a photo of you with your arm around another woman - Mammy, sister, ex-wife, present wife, grown-up daughter!

You asked a serious question in a typical AH thread?

OutlawPete

One thing I do have a little knowledge of though, is sex lines and no, not for that reason

Well, to tell the truth, I did ring phone them one night, that Babestation one and had TV sex with Angel Long, but that's another thread

Back in the early 90's, four of my brother's mates (two were pilots) set up one of the first Party Chat Lines (the 1550 ones).

They had a personals section in them and as no woman / girl, is gonna pay to phone them, the girls got to ring for free.

Naturally then, there were hundreds of women leaving free personals and the guys, being horny fools, were paying £1 a minute to listen to them.

Apparently they made a killing on those lines and I would wonder of the same craic goes on on the dating sites, do women have to pay also, if so - do they have to pay the same price?

I would imagine it's in their interest to make it look like there are loads of gorgeous models on there who are not really interest in looks or guys with jobs and so then men will be queuing up to join.

Don't think he said that either because we all know women put up sad profiles too. Really don't think this is a thread to play the male discrimination card!

I've used dating sites in the past, handy for a single Dad with no weekend time! Keep it simple and honest and you should be fine.

Had some great craic on there (inserts pun!), and all the ones I met, had a good night.

One tip, don't assume curvy means Christina Hendricks.

So by asking why she thinks it is that women put more effort into their profiles on dating sites, I'm playing the male discrimination card?

Curvy = fat
Slim = fat
Average = fat

if 'my friend' is to be believed.

Maybe they do, why do you think they don't?

It's AH after all, not always serious threads,

What happened a sense of humour.
