Dating channel: Plenty of fish Website.

As I’ve been struggling to get a bite on Tinder lately, I’ve been shopping around for the best dating website, (okay I did a google search, it took me five seconds) but still, two names kept popping up: Match.com and Plenty Of Fish.

As I’m not desperate enough to pay to pursue a man (..yet) and just to clarify, I’m not saying that people who pay are desperate, I’m just not that committed to the cause. I signed up to Plenty Of Fish, after what seemed like days filling in some silly chemistry, needs, and psychological assessments, and then completing a keeper and sex test, I was all set up. (I have to assume there is a method to that madness).

In the time it took me to fill in all the questions, I had already got 24 messages, so I eagerly waded through them, as the inbox amount continued to climb. There was the generic, “Hi”, “Hi, how are you?” and the long, ‘I’m new to this, and trying to make a point of how not sleazy I am’ messages which were so long I didn’t read, and then there was this:

“will you allow me to have an.al se.x with you? :)”

Followed by this, when I didn’t reply,

“WILL YOU ALLOW?”

I won’t tell you my reply, but lets just say he might think twice before greeting a lady like that again. So there was my first red flag, I was comfortable dealing with it myself but if anyone does offend you, or make you feel uncomfortable on these sites, you have the option to report them and/or block them from making further contact with you.

They don’t all seem bad though, some of them genuinely are looking for love and put effort into their contact, like this guy. My ‘headline’, (don’t ask me why you need a headline, but apparently you do) is: “Every Adventure Requires a First Step..” (Alice In Wonderland) to which someone messaged me saying:

“Hi there, I  want to go on adventures and from the looks of your pictures you know how to have adventures..maybe you could be the first step?”

Yes, it’s a little cheesy, but it shows he’s paying attention, he’s listening, and he’s trying.. Having said that, I wasn’t interested in him so I didn’t reply.

“Hi there hope all is well, thought I would see if you fancied a chat see how we get on, you sound very nice and grounded and your extremely pretty so I will leave it there and hopefully I will hear back from you

Another sweetheart, so among the ‘You’re smoking hot’, ‘sexy lady’, ‘hot stuff’ bottomfeeders, there are a few fine fish, you’ve just gotta dive deep to find them.

I’m still fumbling my way through this website, it isn’t the easiest layout to understand, but I’ve started chatting to a few people.

Catch ya later,

Ren.
