in a message, and you report it...do they get kicked off here?

Because I just had someone do that..noway

Why would anyone be kicked off for doing what
they came here to do???

Now, if they were chronic posters of lewd material
that would be a different story.


He messaged me with something nasty...I hardly consider that "what they came here to do"...
If that is what he wants, then he needs to change his profile to looking for "Intimate Encounters"..

The Terms Of Use even say that " pornographic, obscene, or offensive language" is prohibited.

Sure, i could just block him, but..that doesn't stop him from doing it to other women.

Would be nice if profiles that have not been active for six months automatically become invisible. Logging in again returns the profile to view, so nothing is lost.

Thank you for your reply it's hard to see where you are going but I sense you are a little negative with whats going on and your results. I'm no doctor but smile don't dwell on the negative side of your results and remember it's a numbers game. Keep analyzing everything you are doing.

I thought I would start this topic because I feel there are a lot of us out there that could do with a nudge on how to text to woman AND men correctly. First off i'm not perfect by far trust me and my biggest fault would have to be that i'm not the worlds greatest speller wrrite (see).....lol.

So to set the ball rolling I believe the three golden rules are:
1 Be yourself.
2 Be honest.
3 Be truthful.

This is just something to chat about in no way would I criticize anyone but am always open for suggestions. So please feel free to comment thank you.




Pffft...been doing that...I see no reason to lie on a profile, or to be fake/ put in a false front in messages...
Has gotten me zero results.

Nope, thanks..don't nee advice..you asked for comments..so, I commented.:thumbsup:

A widow or single father who has kids living with them.

Make that a widower and hell yes! No more family situation and kiddies.


Yeah..but then there are the ~grandkids~...noway

I have been surprised at the number of 50+ year old guys with kids under 10 at home (some in their early 60's)..
Nothing says "I go for younger women" tha that..
Because it's not likely his wife had that kid when *she* was 48...whoa
Maybe that happenes occasionally, but not as often as *I* am seeing it.

I also have a solo lifestyle, but I do have a huge family and Grand-kids to keep me company if I so wish.
Like yourself, females simply do not respond no matter how polite you are.
I view them as ignorant, self centred individuals and just move on after blocking them.
Every single site has different functions, but all end up with females that will not have the courtesy to respond.
I suspect they are waiting for that adonis or greek god, that's going to whisk them away in his strong arms and take them to his yacht in the Caribbean.
Sorry ladies, that's not gonna happen!
One site I'm currently using actually has a function to send 100 messages out to females. It goes along the lines of 'make my day and reply to me', but much nicer than simply that.
Only got one reply and that was from a Lithuanian lady, and all written in her native tongue.
Out of politeness I replied to her, with a nice message translated in her language.
Dating sites by and large are pretty useless, far too many female window shoppers that do not know what they want.
At least this site is free, so no monetary harm done:)


"I suspect they are waiting for that adonis or greek god, that's going to whisk them away in his strong arms and take them to his yacht in the Caribbean."

Horse sh**.
WHY do guys think that....?
We just was a guy that is what we want...not some guy who can't read a profile, and just bulldozes right ahead even though we say "thanks, but I don't think we have *anything* in common"...
(which answers your query above about "but all end up with females that will not have the courtesy to respond.".....because most of the time when we do that, the guy gets pissy, and demands to know why, and then gets hatful..)

" far too many female window shoppers that do not know what they want."
I *do* know, unfortunately guys think they need to tell me what i want..
I'm like "So, despite the fact I am 57, and have had 2 long term and very fufilling relationships I don't know what I need, want, and prefer?...Interesting.."

what if the man or women was disabled and
could not provided that for their partner anymore...
and either said it was ok ... just keep to yourself ... and be discrete
and I do not need to know ...

is that still cheating ... when you can still love another with out sex ... but
having the need for sex ...is always there in some cases ...


See, that's the thing..
(I am aware people will disagree with this..that's fine, you have your beliefs/ opinions, I have mine..)

If it is *such* a "biological" drive, ergo, a "biological function..then go scratch that itch..BUT, keep love and emotion and all out of it.

Because, in most cases, affection and closeness and intimacy (intimacy *doesn't just mean inserting tab A into slot B) are still there...so, *that's not what they are missing..those guys who yammer about missing "affection", when you dig a bit, you find out she is very caring and affectionate..just doesn't want actual sex.

The problem comes when some guy gets all hopped up on and emotionally attached to the sex partner...rather thsan viewing it as means to an end.
If you just want to get laid...go do that...a "once and done"..
Or hire a escort...in lots of citites those manage to function just fine..
Oh, you say...what if the guy lives in a small town..?
Well then, how would he even find a sex partner that his wife doesn't know, or his family/ friends don't already know..which can cause huge problems..

My dad and mom didn't live together ever, that i can remember...my mom was a emotionally cold woman..I know, I unfortunately lived with her until I was 19 (so i don't really blame him)..
He did, however, have girlfriends that we didn't know about (I found out when he died and I had to clean his apartment)..
He was always there for holidays, my birthday, even came to be with me in the hospital when I was 11/12 and having surgery (something my mom couldn't be bothered to do), paid the bills..we never lacked for anything.
I didn't know he had a girlfriend until i was 38 (when he died)..his behaviour towards us and his conduct didn't give that away.

True, they didn't live in the same city..but..

Sorry..I'm rambling..but....if there is a way to work it out that doesn't throw it in the face of the other partner/ flaunt it/ f**k up thr homelife, while i don't condone cheating, wouldn't want that myself...it may be a solution for some people.

I got put off by no replies.

I read profiles, and worded my response according to what I read. I never expected a reply every time. My expectations lowered, the longer I was online. I started digging into how to respond. That went nowhere. Profile rewrites certainly didn't work. I tried the blanket response, no go. ( I didn't think it would) One word was a bust. New profiles, (Blowing up the old completely) bombed.

After a year and a half, I came to the conclusion that dating wasn't in cards for me, so I just dropped the whole mess, and became a forumite. And figure out how to make a go of a solo lifestyle.

I had to decide that the female occupants of this world were put here for taking up space. I let it bother me for too long. If they want to be friendly, I'll return the favor. But I won't let it go any farther than that. Old age made me smart. I'd rather just observe, and leave the grief to others.


Yep.
I tried a picture and a short profile.....
Got a lot of useless, pointless replies, absolutely *nothing* in common, many completely opposite as far as world view..so, back to a more detailed profile..

No picture, short profile, hoping that would force them to read the profile to see if we had things in common....same thing...except now they just wrote wanting to know "wut u look like?" whoa

I always wrote a good initial message, mentioning *why* I was writing them, pointing out something from their profile I liked..
Majortiy if the time.....crickets....
Or, see above.

I am convinced most guys are on these sites to kill time, because they are bored in the evening....or to mess with women, because they have anger issues/ a grudge (why else would you write someone you are not interested in and tell them *why* you find them distatsteful/ unappealing?)

I'm thinking for the most part is to save time.
Going thru all the possibles and maybes on the profile and striking out on the first inning is a major bummer.
So to save us ...us meaning me and whoever. ..let's jump in and test the water..none of these toe testing stuff. .

That's just me tho .... I don't speak for all men.


"I'm thinking for the most part is to save time."
????
Because if a guy (legit guy, not scammer) messages me, and mentiones nothing about my profile (like, "I see you are into x, y, z too....cool"), i will ask him some pointed questions, which, *had he* read the profile, i would not need to to..
I have no interest in or patience for the kind of non-conversation that goes "hi"....Hi..."how u"..Good..."wassup"...Nothing...

Like someone else dais:
"I can understand your idea, but if they're too lazy to read a profile, or think they're so irresistible I would change my parameters --- I wouldn't want to meet them."

I *love* a lengthy, informative profile...it gives me an idea of what, if anything we'll have in common, if we see eye-to-eye on key, core issues...aside from having conversation starters..
If it is just one line...can't do that..mad

To each their own.

Topic: Do you give out your number to anyone?

No... just my address! laugh

Kidding! I don't have a problem giving out my phone number so long as I've known the person for a bit, when it feels comfortable.


*That's* the key...when one feels comfortable..
A guy (non-scammer guy) who is pushy about a phone number, complains when you won't give him one after a few messages, claims you have "trust issues"....nah..
Those are the very ones who *always* turn out to be someone I should not have ever given my number to...

Ive notice a odd phenomenon here in that these men fall madly/crazily in love instantly , writing sonates and offering their undying devotion.. Ive had alot of online experiences great and not so much..
So whats up?.. are they just over whelmed newbies?. scammers?. or possible? ..my soul mate!?.lolo..
any thoughts?..


They are fakes...they seriously think that's how you get a woman's attention..so they can work their particular thing..

Are they other men like me who prefer to be with a woman who is in charge in the relationship?
What about women? Are they any women who prefer to be in charge in the relationship?
And I mean it in a serious long lasting relationship...


Like Larsi666 said, I too am in favor of equality, shared duties...
Whatever one of good at and enjoys more, let them do that...f**k "gender roles"..
Some men love to cook and bake...some women love tinkering with auto otive things...etc..

I *do* know I have no desire for a domineering, alpha, cocky, "I know what needs to be done, let me run things/ men must be the head of the household" guy..NOPE.
I know some women here like that type thing, and, that's fine for them....we are all different, and like/ want different things... drinker

The biker dudes, need to find biker ladies where bikers hang out. They never read profiles so no matter what I write they still hang around my page. But no, I don't give out my number until I check someone out. There are ways to do that, it takes a few conversations and some basic information


If they get too pushy about it..that sends up a red flag for me...
Those are the ~same guys~ who get an attitude when I say "Ok, I'll call you"..then I do, and they don't answer because I have a unlisted number (land line), and it shows up as "Private"..
HAD they talked to me a bit more online first...I would have told them that...but, darlin', I am not giving my number to *anyone* who can't have a bit of patience..

And, if it is just a ploy to "hear your voice, see if you are real"..they can doubly f**k off....
As much as I type and know about this and that...there's no way I could be a fake, you moron...

No, haven't actually found any real people in my area. Just old accounts never closed and a couple biker dudes who can't understand why women don't want to ride with them.


THIS.
So many guys in my age range ride motorcycles..
Doesn't interest me in the least...been there, done that in my late teens..
The thing is...if *that* is an important partof your life...WHY would you want to be with someone who can't stand it?
Even if you don't insist she ride woth you..it will create friction.
I'm sure there are a lot of women (from what I read) that like the things....go after them.
