Nope still here Teasehug and it looks like I wont be leaving anytime soonconversing

Just in reply to some of the 'observations' being made.. yes I have been on a few dates from here but it never worked out for one reason or another as Im sure a lot of the people on here have experienced too...but in saying that Ive never met a guy from here that has turned me off the idea of Internet dating and contrary to popular believe Im definetly not expecting George Clooney/Brad Pitt or anyone like them.

Of course Im selective with who I go out with, this is after all internet dating and its a big bad world out there, even reading some of the threads on here sometimes makes me think twice about some people state of mind...

God I would really hate to think I would 'rate' myself or anyone for that matter, in actual fact I find the idea rather pathetic..

There is plenty of guys on here (forums included) that I find really attractive but Ive read their profiles and it is pretty obvious were both not looking for the same thing, so why waste my time??

As for relying on here solely for dating I dont, but they guys I meet out always seem to be completely half cut so why not expand my horizons after all what most of us are looking for whether we like to admit it or not is Love (i know ..shock horror, someone mentioned the L word on a dating site)...any way to me its that simple...no hidden agendas...

Sry if this is coming across as a bit of a rant but sometimes it never ceases to amaze me how some people make presumptions and judge others...

Ok wrapping up in work right now, Il be home in just over 2 hrs, just in case anyone thinks Im being rude and not answering their replys...

Catch ye later

Of course you "rate" people. We all do. How else do you decide who you want to date. It certainly is not based on personality alone. That line from anyone is total BS. On a dating site you're dating all the time.roll eyes

sofarsogood74: The thing is (and I am going to get slated for this) a lot of women on here are looking for prince charming. They are looking for a George Clooney Brad /Pitt type in a Tux to seep them off their feet and treat them like the "princess" they are.

They have unrealistic expectations and if you tell them that they say they deserve the "man of their dreams". There are very few George Blooney tyoes in tuxes out there and the ones that are are dating models and socialites. They certainly are not on CS.

I think everyone has a number. If you're a 5 you can date anything from a 4 to a 6.....a 7 wont want to date ya...and the same if you're an 8 and so on...There are too many 5's on here looking to date 9's

I am glad I am not looking to date and if I was I certainly wouldn't use CS. I prefer to meet a woman on a night out or through friends.

Totally agree, but it works both ways, a lotta guys looking for Angelina Jolie too cheers

I think some of ye are missing her point. Her main point as I found it to be was that some of the lads she is/was interested in, end up being penpals. That happens with the women aswell.

And most of the time it is because they still have someone on the go. wink Online after a big mad fight looking for the ego rub.

Hi Tusiemc, my two cents for what its worth..perhaps you are looking in the wrong places/profiles you say selective is it physical or mental or both?..a profile on a site like this is just that a profile its impossible to have an understanding of a person from a couple of paragraphs on a website or one date. That said within a few mins of meeting someone you will know if you have chemistry or not but thats the sort of thing you should try and work out before you meet :-) they say opposites attract maybe change tact and see how that gos look for someone you wouldnt usually look for you may well be surprised.

I never said it was personality alone of course you have to be attracted to someone too, but I'm more attracted to a guys morals, to his family and work ethics, his over all attitude and his ability to make me laugh, I certainly don't have a numerical ratings system!!, it never actually occurred to me?!!

Yes on the 1st/2nd meet you will know if there's a chemistry (its all in the eyes for me)and yes you can figure out if your a lil compatible in the early days but you really can't judge or 'rate'(in ur words)a person until you get to know them.jmo

Hi ND

I appreciate most peoples two cents worth, thank you, hopefully my answer to the last poster has answered some of your questions and I completely agree with ur reading of profiles but I like to think there's some honest guys on here, well a few at least and some of their personalities do come thru, but I may have to take some of ur other points on boardhandshake

Hi MD, yea I think my main point has been lost here, and your probably right, that's exactly what's happening, don't think I've never taut that before cause believe me I have....I'm just trying to figure can one person be this unlucky al the timedoh

Ever start a thread with a few drinks on ya and completely regret itdoh it like sending a drunken txt that comes back to haunt you over and overlaugh

A friend once told me that on a scale of 1 to 10 that the father of my child was at least 5 points ahead of me. So if he was a 9 (he was in her eyes) then that made me a 4. She couldnt understand how we managed to make a baby. laugh I have to add we are no longer friends after similar comments.

I dont use a scale a numerical scale. But we do rate people in terms of attractiveness to us. Whether it is subconscious or concious.
I know who I can attract and who I am attracted to.

I do believe its true that people tend to go for someone who they feel are the same as them on an attractiveness scale.

I dont thinks its as blatant as scoring people. But I do believe it happens all the time.

Mariannette: only closet gay men, mammies boys or those with mental health issues would ever be attracted to me.
Well you're in the best place for that here at CS. grin

C'mon though she must have said that to you at the end of the friendship? wow

she used to say it on and off for about the last year or so. It got more often til one day i went on a date with a guy who normally dated dancers & EE women and he said that he was attracted to me. I told her this....her immediate response was.....he's definitely gay! Think I said about 10 sentences to her after that in total, 5 or 6 which werent polite.

But c'est la vie. I didnt lose any sleep over the ending of that friendship.

Im single and would prefer to stay single than settle.
Not just for myself. But I couldnt do that to someone else. Be with them if I wasnt totally into them. They would deserve better than that.
Now I do believe that there has to be a certain level of compromise in a relationship. WHich can be hard if you have been single for a long time. I had a very interest conversation (with above mentioned guy) about the compromises I would be willing to make for a decent relationship, what areas were flexible, what would warrant discussion and what ones were fixed. It was actually a very enlightening thing to actually figure out.
