Douchebag. Yes, me.
FYI- If the person you're messaging pays for the site, they can choose to not be seen if they visit a profile.

If you don't get a response and don't get a visit, chances are they might have visited you but are paying and invisible.

So, if they don't respond to your first message, regardless of whether you saw them visit, they probably aren't interested. Best not to message them again.

I think I mentioned her TMNT shirt...and that I have a micropenis which should be a new thing.

At least the first thing

Should've praised her scene with James Deen in the bathroom. And ask her about which turtle she liked the most.

*sigh* If only she had lived around here.

Aw, man! This girl I was talking to got rid of her account. We were talking for a couple of weeks and supposed to go out.
Weeks!? Wait, you didn't get her number?

Ask for the digits after three messages.

First message is the opener. Second, is the response, ask for her name. Third, response, ask for her number.

Always works for me. Should work for you too.
 
Yeah but do you really want to come off as a fan? I doubt she's on there for that.

Well you can pretend you don't know her at all but that doesn't seem like it'd work. Better be upfront about it.

Of course being upfront about being a fan of a pornstar and not coming off as creepy and as someone she'd like to meet is hard, but well, you'd be trying to hook up with a pornstar. That's like the hard mode of dating sites.

I'm going to wait a bit and try again. I gotta believe in myself. Or get swole.

Just create an alt account and log in to your browser of choice with your primary and the browser you dont use often with your alt.
Then ctrl+C the account and view it with your alt account in the browser you dont use often

5 Star my account and I'll 5 star you back TWICE, with my main and an alt (send me a pm with your account) I'm also 5 starring everyone on this page

Here's my work in progress profile. I'm going to get more photos up at some point.

I'd love some ratings to help me get started. I'll be happy to provide a reciprocal rating for anyone who helps me out with this.

I'd also like any critiques you might have.

Main critique is that it's just pretty scant. Beyond your interests I don't get a sense of your personality or quirks, really.

Thanks, I'll try it next time.
 
So I finally met someone. It was on POF not OKC. We have kind of been "small D Dating" (casual dating) for 2 months now. We're actually "Big D Dating" (more serious dating) but without any titles. We have both deleted our accounts and have no desire to meet anyone else. We've talked about our relationship and want to take it really slow especially because she has 2 kids and she has been through a lot of shit this last year so I don't want her to feel pressure. We already have plans for Black Friday shopping, Christmas, New Years, work Christmas parties and concerts and other fun things going on this month. I never thought I would be 30 and be this excited to talk to or hang out with someone again. It's kinda crazy.

Good for you, man. Always nice to hear success.

If anyone could 5-star me too, that would be awesome. Think I got lower ratings at first because I had some shitty photos when I started out. I'll rate everyone back. Quote me for the URL.

Rated! I also rated everyone else who put their profile on this page.
 
Yeah, as previously mentioned I've been 5 Starin' you fools (I'm pretty sure I've gotten to everyone who has posted in the past few days) but barely any GAFfers have been visiting my profile. Probably because I haven't linked to it in a few pages



Quote to see, etc. etc., thanks for falsely inflating my e-go

I clicked it but I had already rated you. So sorry.

Done


I've had like 30 visitors and only 10 ratings. Come on guys :(

I'd 5 star you again if I could! :)

So yesterday was my first day of actively sending out messages. I sent a total of 9 messages to 9 different girls, of those 3 of them have visited my profile and of those girls, only one replied back to my message.

This is all kind of exciting for me but man, I can totally see how this could get kind of rough lol. The good news is that thanks to you guys rating me my matches no longer contain girls named "bigmomma86"!!!
 

Surface of Me

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Wooo, got my first reply in a while and she seems really cool, she appreciated my cynical quip about girls deciding whether or not to reply before they've read the entire message. Also messaged a few other girls, but they weren't online at the time.

As always, I could use some five-star ratings, I'll give out five-stars to whoever visits my profile. Quote to see.

It get kind of annoying but I agree it can be exciting at times. For exsmple, I visited a woman's profile over the weekend and was going to send her a message then backed out. The next day, to my surprise, she messages me. That was totally unexpected. First time that ever happened.

But yeah, I just can't sending out mass messages anymore. I usually go on about 2-3 times a week and send out about at the most 5-10 messages.
 
Just rated everyone who posted their profile. My sn is actually the same so if you guys can return the favor. :)

So far my 80s strategy has born no fruit.

The fight goes on

Sorted you both out.

Oi you can't visit then not rate me, no fair!
