The site is a tad messy I admit, it isn't as neat as some of the other sites I have been on (I don't make a habit of it btw
)
But the 'talent', yeah i dont like the word, but i think it describes it best is very good. 71,000 people were online last night allegedly. They have their own msn type chat thing too which is a nice touch.
I am only doing well just based on the sheer number of messages I sent the other night when I first joined up! Last night was just lucky!"I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"

I think all the pictures I saw if 'those just registered' looked scary. Maybe I should be brave and give it a go...
Or maybe not, we'll see!
Glad it's going well, it's all about talking to people and making new friends, so you go for it!Current debt - £16,300Debt at worst 17/03/2011 - £18,067.62:eek::eek::ANot going anywhere else, ever again :A0 -
You should try it at least, you can just ignore the people you don't like of course and pick and choose. You've got nothing to lose imo.
I have made a couple of good friends from Facebook singles things. I see this as no different.
I usually read the profile and if they have an interesting profile I will cite that in my message, if they just have pics and then no story as such then I don't bother as what can you really say? "Hi, errr, how are you?". Bit lame if you ask me. But then you didn't, so ignore me!
Another good thing from a female point of view is you can set it so only people that match a certain criteria can message you. I thought that was quite good."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"

Not exactly, they have a singles application which is very good.
But once or twice I have messaged random girls, one because she was hugging that black egg outside the council offices near Tower Bridge (I did the same thing a few hours earlier you see). Then another girl because I was searching for a friend but typed her name wrong and she came across really nice."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"

Hmm maybe I will give it a go. I guess i have nothing to lose.
Do you have your own inbox or does it go to your normal email address? I guess you can just not reply or stop using it if you decided you don't like it.Current debt - £16,300Debt at worst 17/03/2011 - £18,067.62:eek::eek::ANot going anywhere else, ever again :A0 -
It is a separate inbox on the site."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"

If you come across my profile, don't forget to say hi!"I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
