Hey just thought I'll ask the question of those who used dating websites what are your successes on them?

Would anyone have any tips on what to include on a profile if I was to make one?

Thanks Tynx

...Up on the Downs

Depends what you want. I have totally failed to find anyone I want to have a relationship with, but there's lots of casual sex going begging. There's much more deception on dating sites too, at least there are no foreign fraudsters on fabs, they get really boring..."Hello I'm a widowed Colonel in the English Army in charge of arminutions ...I qualified at West Point and I will like to get to know you.....

that is true I just wanted people's opinion on it ideally I want to use fab to find new people not meet and socialise with don't really care about the sex if it ever comes to that yeah it's a bonus but not my priority.

I think I'm after something a little long term but I'm not sure if I'm honest

There have been singles on here who have met via fab and developed long term relationships and got married and all sorts so it can happen.

Dating sites can work.. real world can work. Fab can work.. why limit yourself many different roads can lead to a destination.

The difference between fab and dating sites are night and day.

The same people are on both sites but on dating websites you get to see face pics first. So the sexy woman on fab in sexy lingerie and naked can be the minger on the dating website. Also the ratio is even men to women , so the woman that rejected you on fab would send you a message on a dating website. This is very important .... if you find a woman on both websites, check the ages on both profiles. The dating site profiles usually reveals the truth.

In all honesty is no real difference from fab , But in my experience women tend to hold back sex on dating websites because they are looking for long term. I'm not saying you can't have a one night stand, but if a woman really likes you she will hold back on her freakyness.

Sorry but that's generalised nonsense.

I really think that real life is the best way to meet a potential partner ( unless it's just a shag)

The Internet is just a playground for fakes and liars and unless you want to make Internet dating your full time job then I think having real life encounters is the way forward!

I met the Mr through a dating app, at the time I'd downloaded a few different ones and was going on dates every weekend. I'm struggling to put my finger on what made it work with him rather than the other dates I went on. I guess as well as the obvious thing (we clicked), we were both looking for the same thing, and we were both honest about that. It took a few months for me to fully disclose my sexual preferences, but our sex life was very passionate and adventurous from the start, so it wasn't the biggest leap.

Good luck finding someone, definitely don't rule out dating off here

I have had more success on dating sites and found a couple of steady nsa partners for a while (not at the same time). I found the sites far more sociable than here. Still had my greatest success the old fashioned way though. The internet is a weird place...

I suppose it is all down to what people are looking g for. My son is autistic and met his new wife on a specialized dating site. Both have autism. I do not want another wife .... The last one bleed me dry both financially and emotionally.

Fab works for me but if I was ever on the look out for a long term partner I'd start going out to bars and clubs a bit more.

Dating site woman has normal pictures (shows face pics) and happy profile. She gets maybe 20 messages a week and she is more willing to interact

Has rude demanding profile, with no face pic but full of nudes. Gets 500 messages daily and complains about not being respected on Fab.

haha i get the colonels trying to add me on skype for some reason.

i agree there is more bullshit on dating sites. i'm still gonna try again in the new year though coz i like going out on dates and am compatible with many guys i've found out. although i think i scare guys off with my high sex drive and love of sex so idk, might not find anyone who is compatible that way with me.

just not gonna fall for the we're in a 'relationship' so let's do bareback thing next year though. only really trusted guys i will, and that'll be when i stop being so promiscuous also.

Wouldn't say people are more willing to interact with anyone they don't find attractive - on or off Fab?

The messages that come through on Plenty of Fish tend to be as bad as the ones on here.

The rude demanding profiles of the women on Fab tend to be a result of being exposed to bad manners from many men, who fail to speak to women as human beings. It doesn't matter if you're nude, tits out, whatever, if you can't approach a woman with some consideration for her needs - not just your own - you're gonna get barked at or ignored. And rightly so.

The successful guys on Fab will also tend to be successful on dating sites and in real life, when it comes to 'scoring'. They get the formula.

As someone said, generalised nonsense.

Complete success here - we met on a dating website 7 years ago and are still together, so they can work.

Profile tips: Be interesting, original and humour works.

Be aware that those that the sites that allow you to sign up for free, will send you messages from fake profiles to hook you in and take out a subscription.

We both met on plenty of fish. We've been together almost 10 months now. Neither of us was looking for anything serious when we met, it just happened, we clicked in a big way.

We were honest on our profiles, and chatted loads in the days before we met.

Dating sites don't work for everyone, but sometimes the planets align and you meet somebody amazingly compatible with you.

Of the men I've met, Ive found guys tend to me more honest on Fab, hence my disdain for the dating sites. Tinder is a pain too, been trying to get a shag off there for nearly a year! I've approached guys with a Fab mentality on there and I think guys either think I'm fake or pulling their leg.

Very curious to know what website yielded such fine success, but, out of respect for Fab, will not ask.

I must admit I don't have the patience for online dating-- becomes either a too superficial exercise or overly cerebral exercise. Prefer meeting in person to get a wholistic impression ..

Last year was on POF and tinder.

Met a guy. Dated for 15 months. Turned out I was too horny for him amongst the many complaints he had about me. So no more dating. No more dating sites or relationships. Just want sex. I may seem cold and distant but no man is worth my tears.

I'm on one site and find the quality of the girls on it to be very poor but the level of respect and quality of conversation is a ten fold improvement to here.

Since when was a love of junk food, knitting, cats and a general apathy to anything that doesn't involve a video game, Netflix, social media addiction, wine, more cats or a couch something you should boast about?

I'm generalising and have met some amazing people but so many rule themselves out instantly as girlfriend material. Is this a millennial problem?

I'm looking for a smart liberated girl 25 to 32... To add context

Be aware that those that the sites that allow you to sign up for free, will send you messages from fake profiles to hook you in and take out a subscription.

Very curious to know what website yielded such fine success, but, out of respect for Fab, will not ask.

I must admit I don't have the patience for online dating-- becomes either a too superficial exercise or overly cerebral exercise. Prefer meeting in person to get a wholistic impression .."

Many of the websites, but not all, use the same database but brand it as their own so to some extent it doesnt matter which one you use.

Understand your comment about not having the patience, though it suited us (due to circumstance).It enabled initial filtering as well as creating opportunities.

Sometimes you shouldn't judge a book by its covers

"Don't be under any illusion that a paying dating site is of a different level...

I had more "shag" and fuck buddy requests than on here!

The guys who added me to favourites and I plucked up courage to message ignored me

And apparently living at opposite ends of the country "is no big deal" when trying to build a relationship

I cancelled and came back here

Did you find the guys more respectful on dating sites?

Less messages more time to chat "

More respectful...

Well it's not respectful to simply as for sex when my dating profile was very clear (after the million questions you have to fill in) that I was looking for a long term relationship

The rest.. well they as I said either ignored or were that far away or old that it was a non starter

"I really think that real life is the best way to meet a potential partner ( unless it's just a shag)

The Internet is just a playground for fakes and liars and unless you want to make Internet dating your full time job then I think having real life encounters is the way forward!

Yes my experience of so called dating websites has been negative..

Been suckered in like many others with initial overwhelming automated winks mages, only gorcthem to disappear once you,ve parted with cash....

Equally I accept I,m not the most photogenic . I do feel people use initial profile photo,s to base choices on and gravitate to pretty people first.

Honestly I find it better face to face in person easier..

But oddly a lot less confident in date asking than on line....Think its because I,m more in tune with other persons vibe and body language if it were to be received well.

As supposedly good casual hookup sex sites ...... well as yet have,nt stumbled across any...
