    I've been Money Tipped!
    Met a guy on Plenty of Fish nearly 5 years ago when I was 19. There are some 'unsavoury characters' on there but also some decent people. We are now in our 4th month of marriage :)

    Trying to live a good life on little money :T

    I'm in the same boat, most my mates are taken. Probably get out once a month, being single isn't an issue for me (not saying it is for you, each to their own etc) which is why I can leave them sites. But naturally being out I like to think if I saw someone I fancied I'd approach them, eventually haha!

    hahaha! not an issue as such but every now and then I think '!!!!!!, Im 31 and still single - if I want kids I'd better get my @rse in gear!!'
    I do approach guys when Im out but sometimes the girls can look quite daunting (especially if they have took it upon themselves to go on the look-out for a man for me!!)
  • Wouldn't mind women approaching me, fair play to you I say. Rare though from what I've seen down the years, unless the women have had a few!!!
  • well another week down, and yet more ignored messages, and a couple of nasty replies.

    what is it about people lacking in manners these days :(

    When i used to use POF i would always be polite back, and when sending a message i would make it funny and friendly not necessarily looking for my prince charming but new friends are always good too x

  • Well i asked for advice on my profile on the pof forums and got some good advice, to change my username as catlady gives off the wrong impression and Ive had far more men lookingat me. Had one guy who messaged me and said he had seen me in a dream - he was strong believer in fate and god. Kept going on about god and jesus and when I said no to him I kept getting even more messages of how I was his future so i blocked him.

  • Try freedating.co.uk - was the best in my opinion - but i am a little bias as i did meet my husband on there! I have been with him now for 5years & 4 months, married for 1year and 4 months!

    There were plenty of weirdos - (plenty only wanted dirty pics!) but i perservered and didn't regret it at all!

    Good luck x

    My favourite message for a while....


    "you are absolutely stunning and I can tell by the way
    you look at the camera your well aware of that...which is so sexy I
    know most people think its a bad thing but I think that kind of
    confidence is so damn sexy yet sadly so rare"

    I did laugh...:rotfl:
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.
