Plenty of Fish... Don't need a longer rod, "just" a trawler.
So against my better judgement I was encouraged by a friend to sign up to Plenty of Fish due overcome my recent spate of bad experiences with members of the opposite species. Needless to say you really couldn't write the stuff that has happened to me (I'm still looking for whoever gave me this curse, and what I did to deserve it).
Anyway this post isn't to cover what has happened before but about my experiences with the site.
The initial premise is (overall) promising; site is a bit of a mishmash, looks fairly basic but the most important thing it apparently has a large number of members. And yes you can hate me for saying this but whether you like it or not, it's all very superficial. I'm not saying I'm an Adonis, neither am I ugly, so my original expectations were pretty positive.
I haven't been a member that long, but I thought if I am going to try, I may as well give it a proper chance. So I accurately filled in the "About Me" section, interests, put photographs up, etc. All in all I'd say it was representative of moi.
Results? Pah. Have sent a number of messages out to various girls, and not a single reply. And before the suggestion is made that they were "CTRL+A, CTRL+C, CTRL+V" jobs, I made a concerted effort to look for something in the profile with which to break the ice with.
It's amazing to think how sheer number of girls complain about not finding Mr. Right/had my share of d**kheads/guys just looking for sex, but yet when a guy who is genuinely affectionate and romantic and trustworthy (and and and...) is left on the sidelines you start to wonder how truthful these girls are being. Do they just want the d**kheads? Possibly. I certainly am not the only guy in the World who thinks like this, and certainly am not the sole member of this type of male (but we are a dying breed).
I suppose this is just a rant to clear a few things off my chest. I will still persevere as you never know something good could come of it, and hey it's free so why not?
