Hello there and eeeeee unsure of whether this is a good idea.. but i would thought that i would... spread the knowledge, so to speak.
Bit of background on me, been on this site .. a while.... a huge gap of none use... started back properly using this site approximately in September of last year, mainly with the old... irc version of the chatroom and really got to know lots of people....to date.. met up with .. oh 2 single lasses and about 8 couples... something like that. I have loads of good acquitainces too from here, including couples that "dont talk to single guys", mainly as.. i make people smile... here for a giggle as well as the obvious.
Around the middle of December I decided that i would put my programming skills to good use, and wrote a computer programme to ALWAYS keep me logged in, and AUTO-UPDATE my profiel every two minutes, even though I wasnt in front of any PC. This programme ran on my server from..... oh.. approximately 26th December until the ooooo 7th of Janurary. This caused me to be.... well... TOP of the list for Men seeking Couples, and always on the Latest updated profiles list for this duration. Before I started this, my photos had had 7 hits, to date my photo now has had a total of... wait for it... 2300!!!! I have checked today in many of the MSCs list.. and that total is about..ooooo 10 times the hit rate!
So...... what was the reason i hear you ask..... well... i will not disappoint.. here is the Truth about Photo ads.
If you go and have a nosy at my ad (please do), you will see that.... its well written... all the information is there.... i'm actually rather good looking, good tag line
"Fit Outgoing Extrovert seeking new mates and fun times nr Preston"
had many replies telling me how well written and funny my ad is....
so... the truth..how many messages have i had...
this is non-initated contact.... those that have seen my ad and got in touch with me.
SIXTY.. yep. 6 0..
Got to know some fab people..... in the process of getting to know many more.. but... the truth is... that however well an advert is written... how ever sexy you are....its all about getting yourself out there into the wide world.... no one will see you or be interested in you if you are a shrinking violet...
So ... tip for all those guys out there......
Chatroom and forum...
ads are great.. but when the competition is so hard..... what is it about your profile that stick out from the crowd?
PS... the auto update is no longer in use and was a "proof of concept" script... if da management wish to ask for advice regarding design etc.. you know where the PM button is
Ooooooohhhhh....
hornybunny...didn't have u down as the "look at me" type of guy
How wrong could a girl be!!

I think you're making the mistake of thinking that all couples/singles are the same. I have certainly met people who prefer to meet others who are fairly quiet and modest and show a bit of reticence, but nevertheless like meeting other people and are friendly, chatty and easy to get on with. You sound a bit too "full-on" for some people - and have you noticed how much you write about yourself?
Yes, confident and great self publicist.............suits some folk, I suppose.....

I did rolleyes
To be honest your post almost sounds sarcastic..... I have loads of good acquitainces too from here, including couples that "dont talk to single guys" Perhaps some people dont want it known that they do "talk to single guys" as they would get inundated with emails/PM's etc.... Oh and how nice of you to brag about how many people you have met from the site.... I see discretion is one of your finer points as well :roll:

Ummm interesting post...I'd seen your ad. and watched you post and always thought 'nice guy'.
Sadly, my opinion had just changed confused
Rick - I really think you may have 'dug yourself into a hole here'.... and not in a good way :?

I agree with Bloke.
I had only seen you posts and (appart from odd comments) thought you might just turn out to be interesting . I have just looked at your ad.- it is reasonable. I can see how it is an improvement on most single guy ads - though it didn't float my boat (horses for courses). But then again, I read your ad AFTER reading this post. So that may have tipped the bias scales before I even looked.
You said this might not have been a good idea - you were right.
Am I a complete cynic or is anyone else thinking of an old carly simon song right now lol
I would agree that a well written ad makes a big difference, mine for instance (ad number 12345) obviousely gives all the basic information such as being incredibly handsome, with a ripped body and a schlong that could feed a family of four on a Sunday if roasted with some parsnips and still leave enough meat for a small dogs dinner. It also says in my advert (number 12345) how well mannered I am and how discretion is my watch word along with other poignant details, such as my intelligence, wit, scrupulous hygeine, quiet nature, etc, however I would never dream of useing a wafty worded post to tell everyone that I am a very very nice man or steer people to me(number 12345). I would leave that for my advert (number 12345) as it is a seperate area of the site and I'm sure that if I did, folk would see through my game.

Written with no sarcasm there Dave biggrin
diesase free ??? reguler tested., ok..... well i have been to a gu clinic and im telling you its not something i would ever do on a regular basis. you sit there for like 7 hours only to put your self through lots of pain.
im not saying testing isnt a good idea if you feel you have taken any risks and to put your mind at ease, but who the hell chooses to get tested regularly?????
maybe im being nieve here , but when i read that i though oh oh, someone haveing risky sex here on a regular basis.
i also think after telling us that you have been cheeting the system to stay at the top alot of guys will now think you off the mark. ( i know we all bump, refresh our adds , but you werent even doing this yourself)
i still say the best way to meet people is through the forums.
my opinion and im sure many will shoot me down in flames.
i like confidence but not ego trippers

Ah I didn't include the bit about my sarcasm and synicism in this post, as its not a particularly endearing trait, however I am also very honest and those traits are mentioned in my advert...number 12345.

Hello ha there... thought i'd put a post in here as the ads arent working properly.

confused So does that mean they were not getting you enough shags, or more of a technical point?
If the former, then if you've had so much success in the last two weeks or so, how come you're sat there bragging about it?
I'm surprised you're not still reading through the thousands of emails you claim to be getting and sorting yourself out with a quick shag :undecided: rolleyes

That is just dam unfair to other single guys, you should be ashamed of yourself, not everyone on here has the programming skills to cheat the system..
And apart from that, i am sure swinging heaven don't want there bandwidth getting supped up like that if a bunch of people got the same idea..would make the site slower for the rest of us.
I hope the admin team will do something to stop this in the future as quite frankly i am sure not everyone wants to see your add permanently at the top of the list every time they do a search..
You should try to start using the system in a less selfish manor and get to know people through forums and chat!
