Devil 1,179 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I'd hate to imagine what I'd be like with dating sites. Without blowing my own trumpet too much I never struggled and I was a proper little player before I met my wife. I defo would have used it for hook ups and given how obsessed with women I was I think I'd have been seeing a different one ever fucking night.

I'm talking specifically about your Eharmony's and not your Tinder's. Edited April 5, 2021 by Cicero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one mate that's with a girl that was married to his mate, his mate was killed in a bike accident and he got with her a year later!!! They grieved together and then got together.

If the worst happened and I ended up single I'd probably use dating sites - be arsed going into clubs and such to find someone, I think it'd be much easier and quicker to find a match based on a pretty good algorithm and crack on from there. Due to my circumstances I've never had to use a site (met the wife when I was 18) but yeah, don't see why some people are so against dating sites and don't understand the stigma that surrounds them. I think you've got to know where you're signing up too, if you're looking for true love on the likes of Tinder then you're on the wrong app well known to just be a shagging portal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussed this with my best man a few years ago, he split with the mother of his son and she was going into the local pub and openly flirting with our friends.

So some are more serious than others, I've never bothered looking as like you I don't need to but have known lads on POF and they just said its basically a shagging site.

Yeah I don't know the ins and outs but basically everyone who I know that uses dating sites has said that POF and Tinder are the main ones when it comes to just looking for someone to shag on a night. I think that the way that eHarmony comes across on the TV suggests that it might be more of a serious site, but I wouldn't like to put money on it. I think with the way the world is (not got a problem with it like) is that most people are just up for shagging - the people looking for true love are probably in the minority . The people that I've worked with for example who are using the sites have said that it's just a portal to get a bit of action here and there - shag, block, move on.

Some are definitely more serious. Like @Whiskey says, if you're going on Tinder looking for a partner for life or long-term thing, it's like being Stevie Wonder looking for a needle in a haystack.

Well that's a blanket phrase if ever I saw one. There are millions of shy people out there, bit disrespectful and a major assumption to say that someone at the age of 23 shouldn't be shy. The world is made up of many different people, we're all wired up differently and getting through life at our own pace - if anything people who say they've been with millions of girls make me laugh, because IMO it just shows that you've got low standards and are incapable of pleasing someone in the long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
