Well, it covered all the basics quite adequately, didn’t it? I mean, it’s not like it was a marriage proposal thread or anything; and I got replies, which was the whole point at the time.

Although admittedly most of the replies were from people too far away (Yorkshire and Kent spring to mind), despite that I said ‘local’. Oh, and the rest were one-liners in text speak.


I take my hat off to you stu, you certainly have this online dating thing cracked. Wink

Nah, I've just learnt the hard way (the hard way being long periods of singledom - for no apparent reason, and a few dates that didn't work out - also for no apparent reason).

At the end of the day (whether dating or sex requests) it all boils down to marketing yourself to the audience that you want, not the audience that is available.

Anyway, like I said earlier, I'm not dating anymore, I'm very happy with the relationship I have now.

Oddly, I really did use much of that post as the basis of my profile on another dating site later that month, and although I got the odd silly message via my profile, I actually got a better response from it than I did a more serious profile.


Its one of the problems I have with profiles. The first profile I had on here was very jokey and didnt tell anything about me at all, with no pic. I wasnt really after dates at that time.

I got loads of mesages just complimenting me on my profile and how good it was. I chatted with a few women, but they all wanted a pic, which I wasnt prepared to do at that time.

If you really want to know if it works, just post there.

Go on, I know you want to......

And, of course, the titilatting** bits (as you call them) are what I referred to earlier as "marketing yourself to the audience that you want, not the audience that is available".

Unlike some people (who shall remain nameless ) who think that those expensive seduction courses are the way forward, I'm afraid they could have saved their money and just applied a bit of common sense 'marketing' like that to either their dating endeavours (or, as in the case of the Sex Requests thread, into getting a shag). It doesn't take a genius to work out that if you want to attract someone who would find titillation exciting or arousing, then use titillation in your profile and/or post (etc, etc, etc).

Definitely is on the net, and probably why I dont do any good. I cant always agree with people who say net dating is like going down the pub though. Some do better on the net, some in real life.

As people have found out on the other site, I do much better in real life, and the men on the site cannot live with me at the meets Surprised I normally go after women not with the site, but local women. I let the people from the site get on with it.

In saying that I have wowed women from the other site when they have met me in real life, and it has changed their view on me. Which has wound me up a little.

But I'm not after women from the forums/messageboards. I let them get taken in by all the bullshit Laughing

That's the whole thing though, it's not bullshit. For myself, I just say what I really want to say, what I really want, and who I really am. So it's genuine. Bullshitting is when someone says something that someone else wants to hear, whether they mean it or not. Does that make sense? Obviously I can't speak for others who use the forum/site.

/* I was hoping that someone who knew me from here might come along and say that I am who I present myself as being, so I didn't sound too much like a slapper */

There was probably a bit [a little bit] of bitterness in my post stu Laughing Laughing, as I cant make these forums work and always feel alienated..on this one anyway.

I wasnt having a go at you but talking in general. I have no doubt at all you are similar in real life, as you are on the net.

But the bullshit I'm talking about is the whole lot pictures, profile and spiel. Not being totally the same in real life as you are on the net can lead to disappointed women. Whereas I'm not sure any women who has met me off the net has been disappointed. Some I have met over fairly long periods have been the opposite.

But I never chase women, and some of the women on the other site message me saying they want to meet me again. But nope, only at the meets.

Although I dont chase women who show no interest in me, there is a women on the other site and I am absolutely crazy about her persona..its so cute. The only problem is she's Scottish
She's 44 and 'large'. I've made it known to her that I like her, but obviously she shows no real interest in me, as I'm so unattractive on the net. But I will probably meet her at a meet sometime this year, as they might have having one up there in Scotland. So then I will try and change her views on me Smile I like challenges


This might be coming over as pap, and it probably is. But all my posts today are what I see as fundamental problems with net dating. For me anyway

I’d agree with much of what Jeggae says. Whether it is Sex Requests or internet dating in general, there is a lot of ‘bullshit’. The 'bullshit' is usually just people trying to make themselves fit into what someone else has on their shopping list though. I guess no matter how honest one is, the reality is that ‘it’ either works for someone, or doesn’t.

No matter how ‘attractive’ one is (as a package, not outwardly), the package is only appealing to someone looking for a package like that. I’m afraid that the chances of someone coming along who is looking for a specific package and spotting it on the supermarket shelf of an internet dating site is quite slim. Many of the internet dating site users are window shopping for generic branded packaging (pre-defined by their little shopping list –age range, check; income – check; height – check; geographical distance – check; type of car – oooops, move on to the next one …… etc etc). What it often boils down to is how much one is prepared to compromise on their shopping list.

I suppose one of the appeals of taking advantage of the Sex Requests thread over dating is that 2 like-minded people could satisfy their physical needs without the emotional upheaval of a failed date/relationship/ whatever that resulted from a meeting through their profile page.

At the end of the day, whether Sex Request or dating (with prospects of a relationship), it all boils down to the ‘shopping list’, doesn’t it?

Feel the need to add my two penny worth... If you're looking for something, be it a relationship, friendship or sex via the internet, the usual makes you look at a profile. That could be that they are geographically located to suit you, their looks, gender, age etc, but it's the written word that can lead onto other things. If their interests, likes and dislikes and so on match up to your own it's a start, but if they captivate you in the cerebral sense with wit, innuendo or whatever else makes you smile, it's more likely that you'll be suited under the duvet!

My advice for what's it worth is open up a little & be yourself, you might find that the next contact you make is skin to skin and not via email! Very Happy

Yes but did you post in the Sexual Requests Threads for just the laugh, or did you get (and want) a serious response?

Ooooh, that brings another question into the equation (the original post in this thread) - has anyone actually responded to a post in the Sex Requests thread?

/* did I just hear a pin drop? */
