I don't know if any of you singles also play in more vanilla territory. I've been looking at
and the people look very normal!!! (I don't know why I'm surprised).
I've never thought of this sort of thing before and wonder what alternatives there are and what peoples experiences have been like.
Harvey Musketeer
A female friend used and had just about given up all hope of meeting Mr Right when up popped a message from well, er.. Mr Right, it would appear. She's been with him for 2 years now and he's a great bloke - just 'hit and miss' like anywhere and anything I guess mate. Like good and bad dogging sites really - only ever as good as your last experience...
Good luck biggrin
Generally poor from what I've experienced and what I've seen others go through. Lots of youngsters < 21years old. (Light bulb goes on! wait a minute)
Although as ever there are exceptions to every rule.
From personal experience dating sites are for single blokes looking to get fucked. They don't tell you that though. Which is why I prefer to meet people here. At least they're honest here about it. But that's not to say meeting anyone on SH is without it's problems either.
I met my fella on a dating site.... but I think we were just lucky. There are a lot of complete wankers on them (male and female)..
... but then again... I was only after a quick shag.. I just hadn't heard of this place at the time lol
I subscribed to a dating site for a couple of years, & managed to get one girlfriend (who shagged like a bunny rabbit biggrin ) & lots mostly of single dates. Women out-numbered men on that site considerably, but it was rather expensive!
I have tried Friends Reunited (which is much cheaper) but without success. At the moment I think that women are not interested in someone who is unemployed (like me), so I won't bother until I'm in work again...... Either that or I'm such an arse, no-one will go out with me. :shock: sad wink
Hmmm., the site from which I got more sex than I had had in my entire life was supposedly a dating site - it's shut now, but it was full of men looking for easy sex, and hookers looking for them to pay. It was great for me at the time though lol
I think I still have a profile on midsummers (or something like that confused ), which is a typical dating site. I haven't had any replies for ages, which I suppose must mean they have deleted my profile (again) for being too rude rolleyes .
Never used any others though.
There was an article in the Observer magazine yesterday about a bloke in Wales who has had over 200 dates with women via net dating sites - he's a real addict. The latest one he recommended was called
Mike.

200 - is that all! :shock:

I'm on , but to be honest I got more joy from answering ads on swinging websites, and I got no joy from that. sad

now i know why the ladies i meet tell me to 'get fucked' :cry:
A little known fact here is that and DatingDirect use the same database. They are just different shop windows for the same product.
Personals was a laugh when it was free. For a while after it started charging, it still gave out e-mail addresses on its profiles to "trial" members. I never bothered to unsubscribe from the mailing list and every 3 days I get an e-mail showing my matches and blow me down if the same faces don't keep coming up every week as were on 2 years ago when I joined.
Anyone used AdultFriendFinder?
yeah used it a bit prefer sex in the uk stie had a lot of fun from there
Worst site ever is A total waste of time. They send you all these wonderful matches but when you write to the guys you either don't get a reply because they have left the site months ago or they respond to say that you are not what they are looking for. Clever trick of Udate is you can't unsubscribe and get your money back... oh no, once you have paid you might as well have put the money down the bin.
I had better results with and Alt yielded a long term partner whom I loved till my heart bled. AFF yielded a good lover whom I still see from time to time. Needless to say that both men lied through their teeth in their profiles! LOL
Hi I came across a new site a couple of months ago and have actually had some good responses on it its called , seems like someone out there has for a change used a different concept than the normal boring dating sites.
Ok it might not be everyones cup of tea but it damn well beats for originality.
I used a variety of dating sites in the days before the internet. They were very effective. I think it helped to use hand writing.
I tried Loopylove for a week and got several responses. But they all turned out to be automated replies. (cue the violins). But there is a 'buzz' about it. So there is more of a chance of meeeting someone there right now.
You should get some real results with paying sites.
ive browsed several different dating sites but to be honest id say 90% of them want to charge you to reply to adverts or to view the pics,all free to browse tho lol and well being a single guy i know the chances of replies are slim due to more men using these sites so ive never subscribed to any of them
am i a tight ares no im just realistic

I am on it and it has worked for me. Again, it shares a database with other sites, I think the main one is Passion? But now we're talking more about competitor sites to SH and I'm not sure the powers that be will appreciate that.
while yes we are talking about competitor sites, have you noticed a couple of rather very small diferences between those sites and this site?
thjey all charge a fee and you dont get some nice neat froums to chat thru like we do here at SH. I have used the other sites, since I discovered SH Iwould never use them again
