In response to: 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.
^ from the car forum
Another point they raised was
^ 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 percentagesdiscuss........
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!
