    That's one of those unwritten rules of gay sex alright. Bloody annoying how strict they are about it though.

    Well we had to up the strictness. You fucken straights coming in here, strutting around like you own the place! :mad:

    its more like buying a car from donedeal.ie :pac: sometimes the pictures are nice and all that but once you come to see the yoke its rusted ,been Photoshoped
    and if you take it for the ride couple weeks later you discover,you've been cheated or robbed :D .
    apart from that i know few pairs that got past 6 months term and getting along fine.Biggest mistake people make is dragging the whole online chat back and forward,and once you meet up its like f**k all to talk about.

    I'll throw you the number of the guy who's in love with me. Need to unload the fucker onto somebody.

    He's about 5'11, good looking, muscular and in good condition. Claims to be vers so you'll have your options.

    Any takers?

    *no time wasters

    I've actually seen a few models on an internet dating site. And I know them because I have worked with them before. Their excuse is that they're sick of the pub/club scene.

    How much wad do you need to get on those vip sites or can anyone sign up?

    Plenty of fish is free. That's the only one I use. I must say there are some good looking women on it. Some would question why a good looking woman would need a dating site, but as I said, some are just sick of the pub/club scene. They just want to try something different.

    I'd love to know more about this idea that being good looking means never being stuck for a date (not saying you're saying this, Davey, but you're right, some people do think this). I was on an internet date last weekend and got chatting to a bloke while I was outside the pub smoking a cigarette (actually ended up chatting to him a few times - outside smoking a cigarette) and at one point I told him I was on an internet date. Immediately his response was "why the hell is a woman as gorgeous as you needing to find dates on the internet".

    I explained that these days I don't socialise as much as I used do - between being broke since this pesky recession started and my friends not being around to go out as much as before - so I don't meet many eligible men who are looking for a girlfriend.

    Attractiveness doesn't automatically translate into never being short of dates/partners. It makes it a lot easier to find someone to sleep with you if you're attractive, but dates and relationship stuff can remain ridiculously elusive. Big difference between the two.

    I tried a few of those sites.

    1/7 messages was a picture of someone's lad, 1/15 was someone asking if I would peg him, 1/5 was a message with a phone number and hotel room number of some one "on a business trip to dublin", 1/3 was asking if i was into kinky stuff.

    I can only assume it was because of the tattoos. I cannot believe 1 in 15 guys on a dating site is looking to get pegged.

    I've tried online dating, met a lot of guys off it, the main problem I found is it can seem really contrived (not natural) so its difficult to find that elusive spark.
    I deleted my profile a few months ago and I've come to terms with just being single until hopefully some guy catches my eye in the real world

    Oh, I am certain it is the tattoos that fetch me those messages. I have an eight inch dagger tattooed on my chest. I think I would be disappointed if that didn't suggest I might be a dirty bitch to some people.

    I've never signed up for one, but I imagine it would involve a lot of individual dates. If you like a profile and maybe message a bit, then meet up, I'd say it's highly unlikely you'd hit it off. It could take 20 or 30 dates to meet someone it clicks with and then that could fizzle after a few months.

    Just like your not going to click with every guy/girl you get chatting to in a pub/club.

    From my experience most people my age join dating sites are most of their friends are married etc and don't go out any more.

    Is is strange that that many guys would ask you to do that.

    Then again, I have a friend who joined a site a while back. She said she kept getting PM's from people who wanted to know if she was interested in getting married for visa purposes.

    I guess the rule is that there are freaks on the the net.

    I've considered it. Simply because most of my friends are in relationships so I don't get to go out as much. And although there are loads of women at work, I'd really prefer to try and avoid that.

    Although there's an incredibly hot nerdy french girl that could make me break my rule.

    I don't think they are freaks. in fact i think its pretty cool that they are comfortable enough with themselves to ask. it's not my thing, but play on.

    Yeah, I know, it sounds bad, doesn't it - I briefly considered not posting my post at all because I knew the 'thinly veiled' response was inevitable, but I genuinely am interested in the mindset that finds it odd that attractive people would be internet dating. It insinuates lots of stuff that just isn't the case.
