Exactly, I think the best advice for anyone new on here is to join in on the forums! Although i am not sure how much is though here, i am definatly doing ok with folk messaging me/repling to mine ect. And lets face it, it's not my adonis like good looks doing it is it?

If internet dating is window shopping, then the forums are like try before you buy.

Its the biggest shop window on the site, sell yourself on it.

I think it does mate. Folk seem to be giving me a chance. Probably more so than in the 'real world'

Well said!
I think you can really get to know people's personality via the web, we look at the forums and we can see the different types of humour at play, subjects people are interested in, how they think and their attitude..... I think it's easier to tell whether somebody's gona be a 'non-starter' before you actually plan to meet, whereas in the real world you might meet a 'stunner' but go on to share an awful first(and only) date with them 'cos you have no common ground.


Thats not my experience too be honest Sue. Not everyone is the same in real life as they are on the net. Lets face it, no one wife batters, no one cheats or lies and everyone is nice on the net. Its not on profiles anyway.

I've met loads of people that are totally different in real life then what they were on the net. Keyboard warriors comes to mind...men and women



I know what you're saying and of course there will be lots of misleading and untrue comments, but I still stand by what I said about knowing people's personality more from the web.I didn't just mean forums,but messaging too. You can know people's sense of humour and interests, and to some extent how they treat other people.I have come across some nastiness so unlike you I don't believe everyone is being nice on here either.
As for wife beaters and not being able to see that, of course it's true, but I reckon I'd have more warning in identifying one via a regular forum poster, than meeting one in my local pub.


We'll have to agree to disagree on this Sue Wink

From personal experience I think internet pics, profiles and messages are a bit hit and miss, as to realising the real person.

I've been told many times I'm different in real life..so obviously my internet persona doesn't tell anyone anything.

Problem with internet sites is, it often doesnt get past the pics and the profile point, because some people do not bother to look further. You can send the best messages in the world, that doesnt matter if the pic isnt percieved as being good enough.

Personally, the vast majority of people that want to meet me are people that have already met me at meets etc, which makes internet persona's a waste of time for me, and maybe its the same with most people.

Your pic obviously does you favours mate, as far as the forums are concerned. The forums are probably not much of a selling point, if the pic isnt any good.

I've had personal experience of this and had more interest before I put my pic up.

I was just reading a Canadian thread and the OP says this:-
"im a really good looking guy, check my profile out..."
So I had a look at the guy's profile out of curiosity and guess what? there's just a torso pic so you can't tell whether he's a good looking guy or not, only that he has a fit body.

Does this mean that when a guy refers to 'good looking' he's meaning a fit body?
I'm guessing that most women are expecting to see a face when they check out a profile.
