Whats my problem Venus ? .........each advert is viewed different by people? yet the ratio of tossers still comes out the same ? .....each advert comes back with a different amount of replies ? .........I was generalising over each advert......because we know that to be true .....dont we? ....or are there no tossers amongst the replies ?

How can you possibly make sweeping statements about adverts in general from your experiences with your advert? We have never had a single timewaster, tosser etc ever reply to an advert of ours so we would say 0% of responders are tossers and timewasters. That is the problem with statistics, they can usually be manipulated to prove anything.
We have not had a problem with our ad at all really,the ones we were interested in who replyed to our ad,we got in touch with and with success,the one's we were not interested in we left alone....so can't prove who the timewasters were......so getting onto percentages.....we have had a 100% success rate with the three couples we have met so far!.....you cannot weed out the tossers and timewasters until you actually go on a meet....

Sweeping statement ? I make the statement out of truth ! and I hope your having a laugh about never having a tosser reply to your ad ? ...............next your be trying to convince me its midnight !
my percentages and statistics applied to our ad .....I wasnt talking anybody elses ......but it dosent matter what ad you put up......still the same ........anyway....is it midnight ? biggrin

How do you know that? You are guessing. You should only comment on your own experience and not generalise unless you have actually carried out a survey.
We have never had a bad reply to an ad. That is our experience. It is as valid as your experience and the statistics you quoted from it.
Our experience of the internet would suggest that tossers and timewasters come as couples, fems and single males. All categories seem to be in similar proportion to their non-tossing and non-timewasting counterparts...there are just many more single men than single women or couples so there will be a larger total number of men but not a larger percentage.
having met northwestcpl several times and I would like to think of them as swinging friends I can totally believe and understand why they have never had a tosser reply to an add
Big kisses to you both northwestcpl
X X X lol

i really like "non-tossing" as an adjective biggrin ... problematic though, i mean i have been known frequently to toss, and indeed have done so while viewing this website (mm check out all those sexy bee-hinds)... but i wouldn't like to think of myself as a tosser... perhaps more as a tossing non-tosser haha

MOMF it would appear that some people don't get tossers or timewasters replying to their ads; you can't call people liars for saying they don't. That's just another generalisation - how can you possibly say whether they are telling the truth or not?

Like Frecklebird said.....we have not had any trouble at all..
MOMF, we have never had a bad reply to an advert. Nil, none, 0%. That is a statistic that could be used to say there are no timewasters about. We are being completely honest and truthful when we say that. We do believe that timewasters exist, have met them in chat-rooms (often couples), but have never had one reply to an ad.
However, although that is the truth, and the statistics of 0% timewasting replies is correct, we do not have an advert. This could explain the lack of timewasters that contact us and therefore our statistics, while accurate, may have little meaning to other people. This shows what a dangerous thing statistics can be. Putting a % after a number does not neccessarily make it accurate. Without the figures to back it up it's best not to quote numbers.
MOMF I didn't say that I'd not had to deal with 'tossers or timewasters', I said that you can't call people liars just because they say that they haven't. See the message from Northwestcouple. Statistics are often misleading and so are sweeping generalisations such as the one you've made about the 'single male brigade'.
Oh, and Gen herts couple haven't even responded on this thread unless they've chaged identities - I doubt they'd appreciate their names being used?

right......an you dont need a pint of milk for your tea or coffee every day ? cos again I'll call you a liar.. !
What ?
It isn't relevant at all, but what if I didn't take milk in my tea or coffee? Does that make me a liar?
My point was, you can't call people liars when they say they haven't had to deal with tossers or timewasters. They may well be telling the truth, as were Dave and NWC.
Your 'statistics' can't possibly stand because you've already said they were guesstimates, NOT statistics. Nobody will be able to 'prove' you wrong because you will call them a liar. And don't be telling people to bollox. It's abusive.

so if you own a car you have never parked in a car park ? .....bollox
my statistics are based on an ad........like I said .....lets make one up and put it in an see the response an twats ......and the percentages......bev you are misinterpreting my posts....I thought you were capable of reading things.....
Cars and parking is again totally irrelevant.
If I am misinterpreting your posts then I am not alone. You have called people liars and keep telling people to bollox!
Quote by manofmuchfun
Grrr .....yup I called them liars based on information given......was false wasnt it ? .....my point was .....to the ads...you never had a bad reply or a toosser.....again I say BOLLLOX........my reference to cars an parking was thus..... if we are on a swinging site then expect BOLLOX from a percentage.......dont say you dont cos it happens......sure as you need milk......or a car park (if you own a car?) simple isnt it ?
I'm stating the obvious and whats known ! ........disprove me and i'll believe you ....till then .....Bollox !

So you know that Dave is a liar? NWC? They haven't lied, they've said that in their experience, what you've said is not the case. How do you KNOW that everyone with an ad has had a reply from a tosser? You don't. So, you can't call them liars they say they haven't, you call them liars. So they can't prove anything. Simple, isn't it? The cars and milk were poor analogies by the way - you don't necessarily need milk to drink tea/coffee and you don't necessarily need a car park if you have a car.
If I say no, you will say I'm lying so it's immaterial anyway, isn't it?

ok.....you never had an ad on either then .. biggrin ....or is it midnight at ? ..........never said you was lying....prove my theory or thoughts wrong then ? .......until then.......I stand by my post.......
Yes we used to have an ad on. We didn't receive replies from any tossers or timewasters.

Yes we used to have an ad on. We didn't receive replies from any tossers or timewasters. In fact, one of the people who replied to our ad was Cuddly catlin.
??? never had a tosser reply then ? never a "I got a big dick merchant " ......"will you shag me ? ." who had a lucky escape then ......you or them ?........whats cuddly got to do with this ? ......5 months back? .....life moves on.....at least we play with real people in a real world !
Nope, not had any such reply from our ad. Had pm's from forum users yes, but not via the ads. Was giving Catlin as an example so you know I didn't lie about having the ad. We too, play with real people in this very real world. Are you suggesting that we are timewasters/tossers/messers?
The part that I've highlighted in red is not really a nice thing to say is it, whether it's about us or anyone who might have replied to our ad?
mine ain't, absolutely priceless, Carol Vorderman would struggle with some of these sums.

.........davej who is a complete tosser and has replied to everyone's ad and therefore can confirm they are all lying.........well at least 50% are...........well alright then, all those that own a Fiat Panda that they park in Tesco's to buy a pint of milk for their tea or coffee......
right ,it's now twelvety o'clockish, so if you will excuse me I'm off to search through the rest of 'lets meet up' for more cafe regulars that I enjoy reading ,yet for some reason seem to wanna bring it in here,
Honest to god guys, I ain't trying to fan any flames, but read the original post then read through the rest of the thread to find out how you came to this, cos if you can work it out ,I will send a couple of my men round tomorrow to re connect your electricity.
ohhh, I've got an ulcer on me tongue.

Dave...I understand what you are saying......I was talking the whole email box .... not the ones you choose to reply to .....tell me you never had a tosser amonst them ?
We can honestly say that we have never had a bad reply to out ad.....because our e-mail is hidden the only "one liner " we have got sometimes is "please check our ad as we are unable to send large memory pics to you"...that doesn't warrant being called a tosser or other.I REPEAT WE HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A CRAP E-MAIL AT ALL!!
but saying that it will probably start now that i have said it hasn't!....even the single guys don't respond to our ad trying to take a chance!!

sfunny that, niether have we :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: wink
In the past, we've had ads with our email address on it, in case there were any people afraid to sign up for the site for whatever reason.
We got a LOT of fakes and advertising for other sites.
We were advertising in women seeking women and couples seeking women.
Most of the replies were from guys who didn't have the decency to respect our wishes, and contacted us even though we'd quite clearly said no guys. EASILY 40%.
We had quite a lot of guys pretending to be girls. They're usually easy to spot. Most of them are so stupid they just rip the sample images off porn sites, and don't even bother to crop the site name, and pretend it's them.
There's the ones who take pics off faceparty or whatever, and it's obviously harder to tell with those ones, but once you fire an email or two back and forward, you can usually tell.
We haven't had THAT many advertising wenbsites, or phone chat nonsense, but fair play to them (and no offense to those who DID fall for it), if you're daft enough to go for something like that, maybe getting fleeced once will make you wise up.
The few replies we've had from actual real women (shock!) have on the whole been very positive. Some have been great, and were exactly what we're looking for (if on the other side of the country), and some have been less so, but we've had a good bit of banter back and forwards, or some pic swapping, or webcam shenanigans.
Up until now, though, we've not met anyone in person. We're being very fussy, but then, i'd expect others to do the same. We don't want to meet people who want to meet us because we've got the right bits and bobs, we want to meet with people where there's a real mutual attraction. So we're still waiting. There's no hurry though, and i guess that's where a lot of people stumble.
They just expect this site, and others like it, to be a road to an easy lay. Just because we're (mostly) here looking specifically for sex doesn't mean we're any less selective about it.
YES, most of the people who'll reply to your ads are fakers, or whatever. YES, 90% of the ads on here will be fakers, but use some common sense, and you'll be fine.
manofmuchfun you have really got on my tits throughout this thread and not in a good way.
Why don't you wind your neck in and stop calling other members liars and making up your statistics rolleyes

I'm not having a go here dawn, if you look in the thread I said it was OUR ads that I applied the sums to ? my point as in a liar was some members say they have never had a dodgy reply..........I said Bollox.....we have all had them......
we all know the score........none here are that stupid, ......anyway....end of my convo here !
You have no way of knowing what emails or replies people have received but I have a way of knowing how much longer you will be posting on this site
Does the term skating on thin icemean anything to you mad
meeting?...working out statistics on timewasters?...
seems to me its impossible for him to have met anyone as all the time is spent on here 24/7 typing crap and calling others.
can we for once just have a simple sensible discussion on the subject

Mattius is 29 years old.
If we say he has had a hot dinner every other day in those 29 years, that's......
29 x 365 (We'll ignore leap years!!) = 10, 585
