By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Hi all. Kind of feel I am stuck in a rut at the moment. I had a number of veris on an old profile but came back after a break to find I had to start over. Just not getting off the ground, getting frustrated and now I think everyone can see that and giving me an even wider berth! Any ideas?

Stick with it. I'm finding the site the hardest its been for a while at the moment in regard to actually meeting outside a club.

You're right about everyone can see your frustrated. You only need to scan your profile to see that.

Try being positive, you catch more flies with honey. You say, you had meets before so you know the site can work.

Regrettably, I have to agree. I have little interest in the club scene, so meeting people via this site only is proving difficult. But not impossible

Thanks everybody. I am frustrated mainly because I paid for a hotel for 2 nights and my meets, both verified, have let me down and deleted thier accounts or blocked me. Seems to bethel trend. I tried the club scene, not for me and my kids live with me so unable to accommodate.

We don't know what you're doing.

Are you after advice on your profile?

Try to be more positive and stick with it, we all go through barren spells on here. Fab is not the most important thing in life it should just be a pleasant distraction

Agree and would suggest that you look at your selection process if it keeps happening.

Do not do that in future! Did they have decent profiles, many veri's, talk on the phone etc before hand?

Your profile is negative and slightly aggressive, I suggest removing all the moany bits and just leave the information about yourself and what you want.

It's risky booking a hotel but why not put a meet today up if you haven't already.

Yes the original meets had verifications and we spoke. Phones switched off and profiles deleted or I am blocked.

Ok. Do you reckon people will ask?

The unfair truth is that men need to put in twice the effort that women and couples do and not many people are going to ask for information.

Did the insults not give you a clue as to the problem?

I would never dream of paying for a hotel mate for best meet in the world Few of my meets have started with just a coffee social and gone from there but socials are a different thing to clubs and there is no pressure except to have a laugh so maybe if club scene not your thing Socials could well be. Good luck anyway

If hotel meets are the only way you can accomondate, have a social with them first before booking a room. Otherwise, it's risky. Some hotels allow you to cancel up to a certain time.

Why don't you have a social meet first? I personally, would not meet someone I didn't know and go to a room with them and maybe this has scared them off?

Well I have now given up. Totally. Just going to say goodbye to some people before I delete my account. For good.

The fact is, this weekend I spent £200 on hotels after arranging meets with verified people who never showed up. Blocked me. Deleted accounts. Phones now dead.

I have been insulted by people saying I am fat, old, have a tiny cock. Then blocked.

I have arranged last minute meets and get halfway there to be told they decided to meet someone else.

I arranged another meet and was deliberately given the wrong address. That was late last night.

If this is generic, if this typifies what this site has become then I want no further part of it. I have met some amazing people in previous incarnations on here. They warned me this was why they left and I deeply regret not heeding thier advice.

It seems that in other parts of the country however, this site is thriving. Long may it continue. In the southwest however, there are far more timewasters, game players and fakes than genuine people. One glance at popular escorting sites tells a very sorry tale.

So goodbye everyone. Thanks for the good advice but I don't use a site like this to be made to feel like shit.
