Might as well give it one last go before I chop it off and throw it away. Not sure on websites mate, but I seem to remember you saying you had a bit of luck when you tried speed dating a while back? Worth another try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've got a feeling you need a certain amount of friends on your Facebook account for Tinder to work, so setting up a fake account might be difficult. I think POF works as well as anything once you get a nose for sniffing out who is actually a human being on there. A pay site might work if you live somewhere with a big enough population.

A few female friends have suggested pay sites as it separates the wheat from the chaff. I don't want to really be wasting my time with people who aren't serious. To be honest, it sounds odd as a man saying it, but i'm not interested in one night stands. I've done all that in my younger days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 There's a poor man's Tinder that I used in Sofia called Badoo. I found a nice girl on there and we're still going casually. However when I loaded it up in Birmingham at Christmas it was full of munters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete tosh. As for sorting wheat from chaff with the paid sites? I had just as many shags/time wasters on free sites as I did with Match.com. Its just a lottery. Enjoy the ride!

Popular Post Ingram85 Posted February 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Little update: Moved into my new flat 2 weeks ago in Moseley. The pressure that has lifted is immense, me and the wife are getting on a million times better as friends, it's startling how much better as friends we are. Slowly slowly seeing and spending more time with the Polish girl but her situation makes it glacial which is completely understandable and I wouldn't want her - or myself for that matter - to rush into anything for her son and our sakes. Will take things very carefully with it. The future looks bright. Just wish the word removed downstairs would turn his TV down a bit at night (it's normally off by midnight tbf but **** me I'd forgot just how in each other's pocket apartment living makes things compared to living in a semi detached) and his music down during the day but I can 'manage' that if I need to.

Rugeley Villa Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I once got propositioned by a tranny in my local pub. Two things stopped me 1. I'd just got with my now wife 2. It was at the start of the night and I was barely intoxicated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'll save the full story for another time but my relationship with my wife looks to be rapidly going down the pan. Been together 16 years, married for 9, 2 incredible kids... but she wants out. No trigger that I am aware of. She just says over time she's felt like she doesn't want me anymore Shes been away this week and due back this afternoon. It's gonna be a pretty horrible weekend.
