Anyone use any dating sites other than the tindr & plenty of fish? If so how successful are they, as much as I am enjoying my time on here, I want to meet someone for a relationship. |

If you have charm and Charisma, with rugged good looks then they are incredibly successful, if however you drive a Datson Sunny and view things with a slight Indifference and Cynicism, then they can be a struggle. Hope this helps X |

"POF is full of men on FAB I gave up on dating sites for that reason  "
And women, a point raised twice in this thread already 
I joined Ok Cupid for couples but found it really poor. Haven't tried Tinder. I must be the only bloke in the world not on it. |

I keep thinking of joining a dating site again as I would like to find a relationship too. But to be honest I never really had much success of them as most guys in my age bracket are wanting to play the field or have babies. No one like me just content to have a longterm snuggle buddy and travel partner  |

I've been on them all at various points over the years.
It's never been much fun.
I think A, I must look really bad as get no messages.
B, the people who do seem to get in touch are incredibly dull
C, I'm in no man's land. At 37 men my age often fall into 3 categories married and playing away, the type I really wouldn't be attracted to or just couldn't cope with me or they want a cougar or some Instagram ideal. |

This is what I’m looking for too!
Before POF/FAB, singles clubs were quite good for meeting people, though it’s been a few years since I ventured into one! |

I think men my age on dating sites are looking for lithe single hotties who look like they just stepped off Love Island.
Whereas I look like I’ve just spent 5 years on a Desert Island talking to a basketball.

We met on Bumble so would think that’s worth a try. I’ve also had longish relationships from pof but it does take some dredging through to get past the ones who only want sex

The same people are on them all.
Tinder, POF, Fab and even Match when I was having a wobble a few years back and thought I wanted a relationship.
Dating always felt awkward to me - Im more comfortable with Fab

"Never tried it but a few people I know have found relationships from bumble and one of my sons met his fiancee on pof so does happen x"
You have to make dating your full time job and really want it. |

Currently using pof which so far is garbage but have used match before and that has been the most successful for finding a relationship however it is pretty expensive and you MUST turn off auto renew as they will not refund if you forget. Sadly though i think in the current climate dating pretty much is not happening which sucks massively and only exacerbates the issues us singletons experience. |

Totally agree with this. You have to put a lot of time and effort in, and I find it a bit slow and frustrating at times. I like bumble and Hitch if that’s any help |

OK Cupid seemed really good with all the compatibility tests. I had to come off it because my ex was on there. I can't date anyone because he would make my life even more difficult. We split up 9 years ago. |

I used T*nder when I was actually looking to date, turned out it was full of people wanting a one night stand or a quick bunk up in the back of their car. |

Generally find the same people on all the apps. So none are particularly better.
However, Tinder gets no replies or mostly matches from people in Philippines or Brazil  , hinge shows no one interesting, bumble puts the onus on the women to make an effort (huzzah), and PoF app is just rubbish as messages all disappear after a few days.
Ironically, Fab seems most promising, but the guys need to stop pestering the women |

"Is it time for a ‘dating’ option in the interests section?"
Second that.
I'm on POF, looking for a relationship.
I'm on Ok Cupid , looking for a relationship
I'm on tinder, looking for a hook-up
I'm on here, to meet couples, ladies etc, for honest and open fun.
Wouldn't complain if a POF date turned into a ONS.
My good friend married his random tinder hook-up.
I don't care how I make the connection with someone, if it's made.
Problems are always.
Empty profiles.
Heavily filtered pics.
Unrealistic expectations.
Our first date is unlikely to be "walk along a beach" (I live near Birmingham) |

Do a dating thread.
There's often dating threads and many people are looking to date. Many successful love stories of people meeting on here. |

And for us guys so many women say they want a decent honest guy, complain about the types you mention then proceed to ignore those who are honest because they don't look like Tom Hardy.
That's not me having a dig or being combative by the way, just saying there are lies and falsehoods on both sides of the dating table. |

I’m honest as to what I want. And honest as to whether I’m attracted. You either are or your not someone’s type... I’m actually happy single, but open not to be for the right person. What I’m saying is don’t pretend to be open for something your not. |

I had an amazing summer using Tinder I rate that platform a lot. If you couple great pics with a decent bio then it’s brilliant.
My friends on Bumble and he’s not found what’s he’s looking for yet but rates it. |

I've tried OkCupid but I got fed-up with all the answering questions so they could build my 'profile' and get matches. Tried Tindr a few years ago but just got bored with it. I do actually prefer the rather more 'loose' structure of Fab. |
