Hi
Im not after advice on my profile, I know a lot of people ask that and people get frustrated but I was rather after some advice or anyones experiences on actually getting a meet?
Ive been on here for some time now, I spent a few months away though and then came back, either way it seems impossible to get a meet
Now I know there are tons of guys on here so immediately I am fighting a losing battle, but it seems like the times when I do arrange a meet with someone they then cancel because something has come up. I know this may be the case some of the time but it gets a bit frustrating after so long 
Anyway any advice on how people went about finding that first meet or how long it took them will be greatly appreciated
Thanks x |

After the person has agreed to meet you, try and keep the date as soon as possible. You don't want the spark to fizzle out.
The night before, make sure you are exchanging messages and if at all possible speak to the person on the phone.
If you get the phone chat, doesnt mean phone sex, you are very close to making sure you secure your date. |

"Aged 19 and on here over a year, go out in the real world first.
Aged 48 and been here 3 weeks, learn some manners first."
Thanks
Like I said at the top, I did leave here for a while but came back, I understand my age isn't everyones cup of tea but I wasn't asking you to meet me but rather just for some advice, its a shame a lot of people seem to judge people on their age range rather than themselves
Also thank you for your other advice guys, very helpful and I really appreciate it |

People will judge on age, it often features highly in people's preferences.
It's also hard to not offer advice without discussing your profile as that is effectively your shop window with which to sell yourself. |

Like I say I have no problem with people not being interested in me because of my age, I cant sit here and say im exactly the same as a 40 year old, I just wish people wouldnt assume because im young im not serious, or polite, or understanding etc.
If you want to look at it and give me some feedback it will be welcomed. The main point of the thread though was to see how difficult people found arranging their first meet OR how many times they get let down, I expect it with the amount of men on here but I thought most of the woman were genuine |

As a couple... We turn em down cos we get plenty of offers.
As a single... I struggled, did a very long apprenticeship, earned my stripes and it went from there. Many windowshoppers who liked but were too far away, and locally the scene used to be dead, so I knew I'd have to travel loads (which is a bit of a pain when you've got...humanitarian requirements). Anyway, if you prove yourself, and you say you're balanced and determined to make a good go of it then the right people will find you in the end. It's just a case of waiting like the ever patient fisherman for a bite at the end of the line.
...So good luck!

Be careful when you generalise, we all don't think that you are not serious, polite or understanding, it really does boil down to your age and that alone |

Well quick scan of your profile and couple points. 1st loose the naked cock shot as you'll find it turns alot off and the ones it attracts are the wrong sort.
2. No upper age limit? Personally would think you take whatever on offer and a 19 with a 72yr is hard to imagine (although not ageist) once you get intrest shown be polite, respectful and have patience not one of us can say we haven't come across time wasters and fakers but the odd gems make it worth while  |

I completely understand, I did mention before that 'most' people do but I have also spoken to a few really nice people who dont, I understand my age isnt for everyone and I respect that sorry to have caused any offence |

I dont have any cock shots, and I have an age limit of 55  not sure if you looked at the right profile? If you did then something may be wrong, ive had those limits on for a while
Also thanks for the other advice |

Become bi, then you will find a ton of so called straight guys will pester you...only teasing,.....i do think cam in chat room is best for someone your age..just show yourself and bot your bits.lol..also, check out a load of profiles and take an average of the ages... You wlll find that most peeps are over 30+ as swinging or wife swap in our view tends to be for couples(not single) over a certan age alowing them to find a happy place in there relationship wer e both parties are happy and understand why.. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
It's been said in the thread, but bears repeating.
Go to socials.
It worked for me. One social got me further than 6 months of messaging. The other advantage to you is that people are rubbish at guessing ages - they'll ssume you're 22/23 and be more receptive. If they find out later, you've already made the first impression... |
