okay.... question time...

Have any one you used a dating site to actually date?...... not just to get your leg over or use it as some psuedo swinging site.... but actually date with the purpose of finding a compatible someone??

if so.. how did it go?

In the past, I have dipped toes into dating sites and found that the proportion of women to men is reverse compared to swing sites. single man is king and has his choices...

Personally met a few really nice blokes off there and still friends with them 10 years on.

Interesting about dating sites is the language people use to sell their profiles... you need to read between the lines a lot more!

Years ago, maybe 8 years ago. I had a couple of short term relationships out of it. One remains a good friend to this day. In fact I am going to visit him and his wife (purely on a plutonic basis) in Barbados in April.

I have been sent one of these discount coupons for E-harmony (I don't know what they are trying to tell me!!!! oh my mates are telling me something!! lol) but have to say this is the first time I would be tempted into looking at it further.....

so its not like the freebie sites like pof.....

it would be almost like a commitment in itself... see this is where i am too way laid back for me own good......

I joined pof cause i wanted to go to one of there parties with a friend and you had to be a member, (and this is only from what i saw) biggest bunch of weirdo's ive ever come across in my life. All the women having a fag where just talking about doom and gloom and all there failed relationships and the guys where running around like sycophants after the women. Think we only stayed a couple of hours

I did E-Harmony three years ago, just before doing this stuff instead. You'll have a lot of choice but I thought it was quite expensive for not a lot. Filling in their questionnaire is interesting but I certainly didn't see how my "matches" were determined as quite a lot of the men seemed to be looking for younger and child-bearing, when I am clearly not that.

I have, had a couple of short relationships and a couple of nightmare experiences too. Made some good friends though, and still meet for a coffee with them every now and then.

I have yes. Bit hard to put it on your profile that I love to have sex in public with men and ladies and especially in clubs.

I find it wrong to not be honest straight away but feels wrong to get to know them and then drop the bombshell.

I managed to end up with a stalker from pof and met men that I just seemed to never to feel a connection with.

So no. They havent worked for me do not bothered now.

I'm not interested in a relationship or dating. I only joined pof so I could get regular shags which I did get for a while. Got bored of the timewasters and married men on there pretending to be single - felt like 9 out of 10 were.

I did pof on the recommendation of someone from here. It was interesting as lots were also on here and told me that they would not meet me because I am on here.

In my own little world

i initially joined a couple of dating sites. scary as hell, as at the time there were no chat rooms or testimonials. I used to go off on meets to then find out they were married and just wanting a shag.

I also got heavily targetted by scammers, which I could tell quickly. Luckily someone told me about swinging and not looked back.

I have used it to mainly look for a relationship/date...

But have found it easier at times to get the leg over...

I do use dating *cough* sites, but it is just for nsa...... seeing as it seems most of the losers who can't get a shag there come on here, I'm working on the theory the decent totty are still on the other sites.

I answered truthfully, and from my experiences on dating sites, the men aren't very truthful. Sorry guys!

I completed that questionnaire, took me forever and then they told me "sorry, we dont have any matches"!

I bet. I'm completely bonkers and they still send me messages with people that supposedly match what I am looking for. Ah, maybe that's why it didn't work for me.

Used loads of dating sites in the past and although the male female ratio was 10-1 I had fantastic success met some lovely people had a few relationships and holidays. I still keep in touch with a few to this day and one is on this site

I found there it was all about getting your personality across in the message

Years ago I was chased by a guy on a dating site, which no longer exits, and we fairly quickly fell into a relationship lasting a year...ended because he didn't like sharing me with my children.

Then on a different dating site, which is also no longer around, I met a man who moved up from South Wales to live with me - that lasted 10 months before he announced that the wind blew in the wrong direction here (he flew power kites as a hobby) and I wasn't as important as his love of kites!

So sod it...FAB it became and FAB it will be, no more flaming dating silliness!!

Yes, and I did not get anywhere as I found they were full of dull and desperate people, and I have nothing in common with them.

Yes we met on pof after my best friend told me about the site.....she had met her now husband on there too. I was on for a couple of years andhad plenty of funny dating stories from then with some very erm 'intesting' people, met some guys I am actually still friends with, met some absolute low lifes too but when I met the OH I just knew straight away that he was a great guy. We had an amazing first date, a weekend away for the second date by which time hed already taken his profile down and then asked me if id be his girlfriend. ...I said id think about it as I wanted to get to know him more and said yes a week later. We've been together 3 years now and as we've just spent a lovely wknd together and he's just left as due to circumstances we're living far away from each other I am feeling a little bit sad and wish he was still with me. Another 3 weeks till we see each other but we'll get through it and I think it just makes us really appreciate each other and know that times can be hard sometimes but if you love someone then it does just make the relationship stronger.

Anyway sorry gone a bit off topic just feeling a bit sad now hes gone x

I've been on a few sites and met some "nice" men. I've met some that need to revisit their doctors to have their meds adjusted...upwards. Some with "issues" that had me running faster than Usain Bolt with the trots, but most just looked old and were boring as fuck!

At some point I'd like a relationship but I doubt I'll find someone that likes to be tied up, taken with a strap on and pissed on on Match.com!

As for eHarmony...I lost the will to live filling in the questionnaire!

Used them in the past

They were crap and the few women I eventually met turned out to be idiots, one of them who told me that the bloke she currently lived with was her brother when in fact he was her 'ex' boyfriend .... that's when I decided to knock the dating sites on the head
