That's my point though, why do something that people may dislike if they're trying to get people to like them?
I'd rather see no pic at all than an old one, at least they're not effectively using false advertising then, I don't mind ugly if they have a great personality (well not too ugly), just don't like lies :)
Why do people who are seriously seeking someone post photo's at least 5 years old? Do they think it makes a good first impression when you meet someone in real life and they look so much older? Its a big shock and a complete turn-off.
Don't lie about your age and post an up-to-day pic, there's no excuse these days for not having one in this age of smart phones. I'd rather someone be honest, because to me a very old pic is a form of lying and deceit.
The problem with someone recommending another great site is that most people might pop over and have a little look/register, and then it will be basically all the same people on there as here... so probably not worth the effort :)
I don't think we'd mind them sponging off the taxpayer so much if the Queen wasn't actually one of the richest people in the world, maybe even the richest, how much money can one family spend? And when your 'subjects' are being asked to make cuts that many cannot afford its a bit much to expect them to foot the bill for the security for your son's wedding! I find it totally unbelievable that they are so out of touch. I wish William and Kate all the best but I do find it all a bit cynical.
You're obviously not a British Taxpayer now then, neither am I anymore, so glad I got out! This is like Cherie Blair having a baby to get Tony elected, a cynical ploy to 'cheer up' the British public whilst they're undergoing the suffering to pay the price for the mess the Labour government made of my country. 20 million for security when everyone is having to endure cuts in public spending! Fantastic! It should be totally funded by the Royal Family, I think they can afford it, instead they choose to sponge from the people the call 'commoners' who cant!
I was in Toronto in July, sadly only for a day, but I have met two here in Cyprus, I'm hoping to go back to Toronto at Xmas if I can brace myself for the cold!
It depends on your own level of confidence really, if you considered yourself to be short, fat and balding then you might lower you aims and not go for the fit one but the one that you consider would be attracted to you
Thanks for your interesting answer Jeraxle, some good points, but what I really want to know is there a 'trigger' something she does or says that makes you men think, OMG I'm in LOVE with this woman, rather than lust, like, etc.
When I speak to my males friends about women, sometimes they say 'oh I was in love with her...', so what made this woman different? Why her and not the others? What is the 'trigger' that makes a man fall in 'love' with a certain woman and be able to just casually date others?
Well he said that he still lives in the same house as his wife, who he's divorcing but its taking a long time..... yeah right, how many times have I heard that one! And he has to spend weekends with his kids, who are the same age as my teenage kids, and I know for sure that my kids do not want to spend their weekends with their parents!!! Hmmm, what do you think?
You sound just like me, I think exactly the same, would never go back to UK, but this ticking boxes thing is difficult and why can't we have everything? I met a man last week who I thought ticked all the boxes until it came to arranging the next date......he couldn't see me at weekends for some reason......er hello! I don't need a man I have to share! I knew he was too good to be true lol
But now that said men have seen the amount of gorgeous single women that inhabit our lovely island, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a huge influx quite soon........ yey
Oh dear, that's a bit weird, mine is coming over this week-end, time to disappear to Paralimni for a few days I think....you wouldn't want him btw, he has a problem with reality, fidelity and the truth!
if you're on a dating site, then the implication is that you're still looking and available which really is quite insulting to the person you should be trying to impress, so if you're serious about someone or intending to be, then you should stop looking or stop giving that impression
My daughter and I had a drink with Peter Andre a couple of months ago as he has a house near us in Cyprus, he'd just split from Jordon and he's a really lovely guy, I think he quite fancied my daughter until he found out she was only 16!
It is irrelevant whether they are in another country or not, until you actually meet you don't know if there's going to be any chemistry or not so in my opinion you can carry on potentially meeting other people, but once you have met and if you then decide to take things further then I think its basic politeness not to try and meet anyone else and important to try and give the relationship a chance if you really like each other. When I've met someone on-line in the past in person I've always checked to see if they are still 'active' and have been really disappointed if they are still on-line frequently and have taken it as a sign that they are not really that serious, in fact it really annoys me because I wouldn't do it myself. Maybe I have too high standards regarding fidelity but I expect my future partner to have them too and you should start as you mean to go on.
Gosh, an awful lot of us single ladies in Larnaca!! Maybe we should get together for a night out girls?
I moved here for the sun and safe laid-back lifestyle and I love it, I left the UK because one person ruined it for the rest of us, Tony Blair (and his free-loading wife)
