Gentleman, can I just make the comment that reading this thread has disturbed me a little?
And can I also offer this advice (you may say 'no' but I'm going to anyway, because I'm a pain in the arse
)
IF you're going to set a profile up and go forth with the online dating thing, be honest? If you're looking for a shag, be truthful and upfront about that - you'd be surprised how many women will be fine with being a booty call.
IF you're looking for a relationship, be honest about that too?
It's not hard and I'm constantly surprised how this always becomes such a game?
Pete, you should have no problem finding a shag and there would plenty of girls prepared to accomodate this on any of those online dating sites.
Just don't be the guy who pretends he wants love....and then you fuck them over. Not cool. Not even remotely close to being cool.
I've dated 5 men I've met on online dating sites. Every single one of them has lied about their height, their marital status, their age, their intent. And for me, it becomes more about the lie - than how offputting the truth may have been to me in the first instance? It's disappointing and frustrating, so I have graciously put a hold on any further dating for the moment.
I'm not perfect but I am very upfront and honest about who I am. To be lied to, is annoying.
And every single one of these blokes wanted to shag me. It's offensive!
In my experience, sex is easy to find, for anyone - fat, skinny, attractive, not attractive, young or old. It's easy...and terribly unfulfilling if that's ALL it is. (For me anyway)
You can't ever look to other people to help you feel better about yourself. You've got to know in your heart that you're a good human being and you deserve something of substance, something tangible and beautiful - beyond just a 'root' with a girl or guy who'll just 'do'.
Don't settle!
As a side note, I have a male friend, who just got married on Saturday night. He met his wife on one of these online dating sites. He was a long time 'player', good looking, a great guy, but none of us ever thought he would settle down and he was definitely on the site he was on, to get laid - end of story....when I asked him how he knew she was 'the one' - he said "Jo, one day it just occurred to me, that she makes me want to be a better man, for her and for myself. Every day"
Beautiful? Absolutely.
And I guess that's the feeling we're all looking for...at the end of the day?
But by all means, if you want to get laid - go forth and be prosperous! Just be honest about it with the women you're meeting up with.
I will now get down from my soapbox and shudddduppppp.
