Good old Turok.

Hi,

Been lurking on this thread for months, finally added photos to an on-line Dating profile (had the profile for like 2 years).

It appears photos really make the difference. The question is I don't like being rude but at the same time what's the best etiquette when someone sends you a message if you aren't interested romantically do you ignore it or reply with polite chat.

Or just reply without any leading questions...

This is all new to me. I don't want to be rude but not sure how nice it is to tell someone no, even if it is the truth.

Cheers.

Just tell him in this thread. N1FFF will be ok about it.

I would say that you may find you do develop a taste for someone or they have a different kind of attraction you haven't experienced before, they may have bad photos or scrub up etc. If I was dating I would try not to write people off and be too fussy but then it depends how many people you get and whether you can pick and choose.

It's hard to explain but when I was down and depressed it took a few meets for me to realise I even liked someone because I had to get to know their personality first. I guess I didn't really know what I was looking for.

If its a woman then the photo on the profile is as good as she'll ever look. strawberry floating lying harpies.

[Green Gecko]

I found I cornered myself because I had a crush on a few women for ages. I couldn't explain it but a strong physical attraction isn't something you can just get from a photo imo. Do you fall in love with porn stars? That's lust mate.

[False]

How can you even comprehend anything approaching a relationship with someone who isnt fit?

Thats called settling, mate.

[Green Gecko]

Really you've never been in a situation where you felt insecure about yourself and so you didn't appreciate anybody however they looked?

I didn't say these people weren't fit. They definitely were. I said I was infatuated with certain women who I clung onto.

I think attraction and someone just looking fit are different things. You might look at 5 fit girls in photos but think "meh" to all of them because that's not the only thing that matters.

In this case I was attracted to both good personalities and fit birds. You can't tell that from someone you've seen in a photo and had an online chat with imo.

Round 39 of Falsey vs GG

Watch as GG posts walls of text!

Read Falsey's baiting posts!!

[Green Gecko]

Yeah well Falsey has attested endlessly about how he shags fit birds and has problems because the woman he can tolerate doesn't exist. Same thing, don't need to get into it really.

[False]

Ok - you go onto a dating site, to find a woman to date.

Why on earth would you reply to a woman you arent straight away interested in?

I can think of only one reason. That you are desperate as strawberry float and will take whatever bites. If thats how you roll, then you go crazy for those 5/10's.

[Green Gecko]

I've never got to that point so I wouldn't know.

You can pick and choose based on fake posed pictures forever if you want, but imo if you go by looks only you'll never meet someone.

[False]

Define meet

[Green Gecko]

I don't think it's complicated. You might make different judgments online, based on some engineered fake profile bollocks.

But when I meet 10 real women, and 5 are fit, only 1 or 2 of those am I going to dig the personality and the other 3 might be more fit but dull as strawberry float or just nasty cos of their looks. I might be after one "type" day but have lust over another the next day. Who knows. In the end the one I'm going to keep my hands on is the one that isn't a tool.

And by meet I mean "relationship" (thread). Not "look how many women I pull and I'm still sad" thread.

[False]

Im not sad. You keep saying Im sad. Ive been good for months.

And I struggle to see if you are making any point at all beyond 'dont judge a book by its cover bbz x'.

I'm not really. Just sharing my experience. If you're dating online you might be lonely and in a bad place. Maybe not. Maybe just want some fun. And in those situations, I would say regarding anything, keep your options open, chin up and see things through. You might be handed something you don't expect, and you might not know what you want.

I'm glad to know you're getting better, but I don't like think you're as womanising as you make out. Surely you now there's more to a woman that their posed online photos?

I guess if you're going by a dating site, what else have you got to go for. Dunno if I could work with that, real dating and getting out might be a slow and haphazard and lucky but I dunno if endless choice is necessarily a progressive situation to find yourself in.
