East Europeans in jewellery, big coats, standing near £250,000 motors near Hyde Park are wasting their time.

and why am i thinking of the tasty morsel of bait on the end of a hook ?

Bit early for me to say but when you slightly increase your radius bit by bit, you start getting loads more options. But as my preference radius includes London, I’m getting lots of European women who are obviously money grabbers. It’s so obvious thankfully.

Only seen 2 quality women so far. One twice and the other once after a few weeks. Both aren’t feeling it romantically which is bloody difficult when you’re new to this as you don’t know them at all really. Maybe I’ll get better at it or they just don’t see me as their match but some will. I’ve aimed high I have to say, but I’m also getting lots of pigs aged 10 years older than me liking me so I delete them straight away.

I would do Facebook dating because it’s free and pick a paid for app or 2 that fits your age or aim. Do some research

Tinder
Hinge
Bumble
Match etc

I’m going to join 2 when I’ve sorted some things out in a few months but not yet, so for now it’s facebook only

Thanks for the advice Rudi. I must admit, women have cost me alot of money and emotional turmoil. I'm not sure my head is in the right place to start dating again, although i do miss having a partner around, even with the nagging and mood swings. I think i may give Facebook dating a try, but maybe not quite yet. I'm actually now getting a bit more used to this single life and it is quite nice but like i said, i do miss having a woman around. Best of luck to you though mate, keep us posted on your journey!

I'm being nostalgic here, but man, i long for them days when you go out on a Friday or Saturday night, to a bar in Croydon, or Cinderella's in Purley or Studios in Streatham and nearly always finding a willing filly for a grope and snog on the dancefloor.

I would put money on those being fake profiles probably put up there by a bloke called Bert or Ali 😀

The apps are supposed to vet new profiles and eliminate them. But just in case they are real I am available. 😀

Facebook Dating aren’t supposed to allow or offer Dating to new Facebook accounts so they must’ve been setup for a while in preparation

I don’t know if I’ve posted it before but there was that French bird who got done for 700,000 euros by someone pretending Brad Pitt was in hospital needing money for an operation or something

I seem to be picking these new high value women without intending to. I don’t know how I feel about it yet but I like women who talk and are smart so we’ll see…

The money and time spent on Dating apps might be better spent elsewhere, but meeting places like Discoteques and clubs aren't an option for those of a mature disposition. It comes down to where your resources are best spent. And what you are looking for.
I found Easyjet flights to Amsterdam for a 3 night stay, worked out at a quite economical rate for guaranteed shags.
For those looking for a partner/friend, it is tricky as these things can time to develop, and people these days are just in an incredible rush all the time.

I've met girlfriends, as friends of friends and those lasted around a year. My wife, I met at a party, and I think we just got comfortable together , like a pair of worn Doc Martins, because, after a few years, it was too much effort to go and find someone else.

Due to my extremely busy schedule as a teacher and now coach, I don't have time to go out to clubs or wherever else people my age tend to go to meet people. I tried Bumble for awhile but nothing really came of it, same for Plenty of Fish.

Recently got onto Hinge, will see how it goes.

In general I am in no rush though, the right woman will come along and will go on some dates in the meantime.

Tread carefully. You do know Hinge and Bracket wern't really ladies, right?.

when you get desperate, your standards tend to drop a bit 😀

With looks like mine, I could never afford to be fussy.

Here you are Rudi(& others) the good ole bbc have got it sorted . . .

Dating apps could be in trouble – here's what might take their place

For some Gen Zs, meeting online through shared hobbies is an alternative to the tyranny of the swipe.

Cant say I've tried it myself.

But have a couple of mates who have had a lot of success over the usual platform.

Both have said its quite liberating dating a little later on, and after already having had kids. Mainly because you (they) are less looking for lust but more objectively if a lady (and her) kids will fit into their lives. Which is easy to discuss, because you are already set into your ways and routines, e.g. Palace on a sat and walk and pub lunch on Sunday.

As said, not a personal experience. But I can see the advantage.

 

[Badger11]

I'm not surprised that people are turning away from dating apps and the companies have only themselves to blame. As I mentioned in my previous post they just sent me any old rubbish ignoring my preferences, so reviewing profiles became a chore not a pleasure.

Until they learn that lesson that less is more and actually do what they claim to do which is match you I think people will continue to look elsewhere.

My most successful period of dating, was when i carried a hammer and cable-ties in the boot of my car.
Surprisingly, I got even more sex in prison 🙂

As the saying goes - I couldn't score in a women's prison if I had a pocketful of pardons.

Less hit by the ugly tree and more disfigured by a speeding concrete truck.

If it was that nice I'd walk backwards.

Steady on. I'll have you know I make Paul Newman look handsome.

Here's a question for you lot on the dating apps: -

a woman I chat with regularly whilst taking my daily perambulation round the rec (with a stop in the pavilion coffee shop, but that's another story...) has been using Match for dating recently (not very successfully, but that's altogether another kettle of fish). She's 75 and is looking for men in the 65-75 age group. What she has found is that after a few texts back & forth, they go to video calls, in which a number of the men appear on screen bare chested - yes, obviously naked to the waist! She doesn't know if the rest is clothed as it's a definite no no for her and she cuts out quickly. Since we live in Somerset and she is only looking locally (40 mile radius) I find it hard to believe that there could be so many Newcastle/Middlesboro/Sunderland supporters down this way.......

So, the question is, would any of you make your first video call with a new lady half (at least) naked and if so, why?

Maybe they're trying to advertise that their central heating is turned up to the max, heating allowance be damned.
Speaking as someone at the lower end of the target audience it seems a slightly odd way of attracting anything other than laughter and a few shudders. Still, better than a string vest I suppose.
