    Well I thought it was going well until I was added to the sex offenders register :confused:.

    It was a bit harsh IMO.

    I can't respond to your requests, purely because you didn't include any question marks.

    I haven't I never even met anyone from the internet. But I know people who have, both my cousins met their current partners for over a year online, another guy who is separated does the casual sex scene, he claims to be successful and going by the pics on his phone of ladies in intimate positions, I kind of believe him.

    I am not closed to the idea, I may try it later in the year.

    I did it.

    Its not for me. For the simple reason that I just looked at the site there 5 mins ago, and the same faces are on it, as were on it when I tried it almost a year ago.

    I imagine a lot of people will concur once they try it.

    I always find this funny "people from the internet" :D It's not another planet, just other people!

    On online dating, yes have used it on and off for several years and it can have varying degrees of success. It was actually much better several years ago - not sure if that is because I was several years younger or because there were less people using the internet though! Now everyone has access on their phones, laptops, whatever.

    I don't know,
    He gets what he wants and makes his position clear. He is doing it for the past year and some he meets are married and want similar.

    Oh I have no doubt about that however if you check out the online dating thread in the Gentlemens club you will see hundreds of women (and men) complaining about that sort of thing on regular dating sites rather than AFF or others.

    Tried it but to be honest regular paper calendars are the best.

    I especially like the tearaway ones with the proverbs on them.

    Try another planet, or at least another country. In Ireland even fat women are worshipped. It's the men who have low self esteem here, while the women hold their heads up high 24/7 because of the treatment they get from birth.

    What does being either one have to do with it?

    Good - Got a girlfriend out of it. Didn't last more than 2 years though.
    Bad - Met a load of quite strange women.
    Worse - One of them used her sister's pics and enticed me over to London. Suffice to say, she would've sunk a battleship. She was Irish, too.

    Conclusion - Avoid.

    clearly the implication is that if you were a straight male it would not be easy sex.

    Reckon you're a homo.
