A car forum im on posted a question.. quite a valid one too i might add..

So how serious are you about finding a partner? Are you willing to use "pay sites" to accomplish your goal of finding someone?

The discussion they were having is that people who are willing to pay a site , are more serious about finding someone than people who use free sites ( like us scrooges ). And the free sites are just an easy way to "hook up" for a bit of sex.

In response to: To me RXXP (pay sites) or more geared to relationships because you only go on there and pay money if you are seriously after a relationship and free sites are for fuck buddies.
^ from the car forum

Another point they raised was

In response to: if a chick is listed as SLIM she will NOT reply unless u are an adonis.
^ there is a bit of truth to this , i have read many profiles where they "demand" pics and a very specific criteria before you contact them ( ie certain body type, education and income )

Do you think this reigns true? I personally think there is truth to it , but thats only my opinion

us blokes are pretty much the same criteria wise , but not all of us ., like the females.. guess its all about percentages


discuss........

Great thread Lok !!
I think most people generally spread them selves accross bothfree & non free sites i dont really think its about being genuinely looking for a relationship I think its more about exposure . If men /womaen are just looking to hook up for sex well that can be on either . What i tend to see is alot of men who are well off demand slim big breasted women who have assets to equal their own , more often than not these men are very average to look at but demand Megan gale no less. I will not disclose my financial status to anyone , to me it shouldnt come into it ,If they demand to know then i know {proir to getting to know me )they are either gold digging or superficial.
Another thing ive seen lately is alot of men seem to be on these sites as an ago boost they contact then when interest is shown they back off ...wtf???
Like I am seriously seekin a partner , I am dating , I have test driven several models who for what eva reason ( always somefarkinthing) havnt been roadworthy.
I dont ask they be adonis or rich or bradpit I do ask they be funny sexy outgoing and tactile . but above all i ask they be honest.
so ok get in line ill answer all emails ..

I did join a paying site and the outcome was worse than on here. I gave it 3 months and there was plenty of attention but a lot of it was for a roll in the hay as it is on here. I have found that guys on here are a lot more willing to just have a chat even after I have told them that I am commited elsewhere.

I also cannot speak for all women although it has been an eye opener speaking to some guys at the responses, if any, they have recieved by some women. I do have criteria for what i desire in their looks coz i can't go there if there is no attraction. I don't have any stipulations though on income, education or body type though. I am wary of those that don't post a picture because i feel like they are hiding something.

well... I don't agree with your car enthusiast points at all ... I have come across men on both types of sites and believe me.. they want sex no matter if they are paying for the privilege of meeting women or not

I don't think any of these type of sites should be pay sites.. GET F*CKED! why the hell should you pay to get bombarded with emails from idiots who cant read for f*cks sake. Pay site or no pay site.. they still can't damn well read a profile before they send you emails or flowers or whatever the stupid site has frustrated

and in answer to the thread comment.. no.. I am not serious about finding a partner.. but.. I do that say in my profile AND in the forums.. oh maybe I should ad.. if anyone can be bothered reading my profile to find that out drinking

as for demanding pics.. why shouldn't we?.. we don't go out with blindfolds on do we.. we have a visual of a person before we decide to talk to them or give them the time of day.. why should it be any different here??

Not sure what more you'd get in a pay site over this one.

I like to freely communicate with people first, read what they're saying, how they react to issues on forums first etc, and you warm to their personality first.

Not sure if I like the going in cold because both just trying to meet someone, sort of reeks of dispiration in a small way

Hey all,
I have tried both RXXP and CS and MXXch.com (too bloody Microsoft for me!!) and I did meet a few interesting people on RXXP.. unfortunately one of them was my EX! now that is creepy when you can see that your EX has been viewing your profile .. I deleted it immediately! same thing again the Mxxtch.com ..

I found that on RxxP out of the 4 women I met up with 3 lied about their age, weight, marital status or intentions or all 4!!

and one openly propositioned me after dinner (ie Are you going to take me home and f%%# me now??) at which point I politely excused myself.. I mean if thats her attitude with me, how many other dinner dates am I really having???

I have found CS to be valid!, interesting and a very easy way to get to know some really nice people, I find the forums great for seeing peoples real attitudes, I believe you cant hide the truth in the forums.. I have contacted several women both on CS and now MSN that I met here.. and I believe I have a few new potentially really good friends. The distance factor is huge as two of them live thousands of miles to the East of me so this is real bar to any real relationship in the short term.. I am just happy to have met new friends for the moment.

I think the merit of a free site is you can contact more people.. so more bang for your buck so to speak, and this provides more opportunities for something to develop. Whereas when I was on a paid site I tended to be a bit more stingy with my contact stamps or credit or whatever and this means that I may have missed contacting my soulmate, because her photo was awful or grainy or she mis-spelt something in her profile or for whatever reason that I used as a judgemental prick to not spend the time in getting to know her.

On the subject of reading profiles, I read each one very carefully and if the age is wrong, or the body type required or whatever, then I just dont contact them.. I am very surprised at the number of contacts ie Flowers and emails from women that are well outside of the stipulated criteria on my profile!

I have since changed my profile to NOT LOOKING! and still I get contacts! what's going on???

And yes, I nearly forgot the major drawback of the free site is the proliferation of F*^*ing scammers, so if you are Sexy, 29 and live in another country F^&%k Off I dont want to talk to you!

quite frankly, I'm a cheapskate....I agree with one of the other posters....what are ya gonna get out of a paid site, that you wouldn't get out of a non-paying site...this is just as good, and if not better with the forums attached !

I'd like to think that I'd find someone, but hey, I'm not gonna go outta my way to look....if someone is interested, they can find me.....yeah I'm lazy too laugh
