I got fed up as anyone I met always was shorter than they described and older. Whilst I spent the next ten years mostly dateless a woman (similar age and marital status) I used to go socialising with was engaged eight times so there are guys out there. Good luck with your search- In retrospect I think I wasn't really serious about men and therein lies the secret of success. Be clear what you want. I think "creative visioning" does work in the late 1990s I drew a version of what I wanted to meet and in 1999 I met someone who I did go out with who looked just like this drawing! I never thought about this at the time. I only realised that he looked like my visioning afterwards.( sadly whilst we got on- things didn't work out but he was a really nice guy. Hi Suzie

I've just about had enough of dating sites already. The only men that seem to contact me are either nerds who appear to have had their hair cut by their mum or men who decide after going to the trouble of writing a profile, talking to me, agreeing to meet me and in some cases ACTUALLY dating me that they didn't want a girlfriend after all. I dread to think what I'd get if I made reference to my cleavage and described myself as a Mo-fricking-jito. Doesn’t it just make you want to scream?

I have large boobs and am curvy, but I would never put that on a dating site ! Some of the profiles of men I've read, after my friends have pestered me to "get out there", I would not want to meet on a dark night ! There has to be people ( Men ) out there who want a normal relationship ? Or maybe I've just looked at the wrong sites. Suzy you may need to warn the convents they could soon have a large amount of women wishing to join ! I too have been put off internet dating by all the rubbish you are meant to put to attract men !

I suppose I could give big frothy head and a full bodied rub!!! Bloody hell Suzy it's a nunnery for me too. I'm interested to learn about what men are writing to attract women....does he have any handy hints for them too?

Does he not realise there are a few of us out there who are genuine, real people not just out for a quick shag! I only signed up to online dating recently. It's a huge step to take and very difficult. And now I realise why - the whole concept is influenced by the Micheals of this world who should take them selves off to Soho. I have been wondering if my profile needs to be a bit more upbeat - but if anyone suggested I call myself a cocktail , a great snogger or great kisser ( which I think we all are if the chemistry is right) I would have told them where to go in no uncertain terms. There are plenty of sex chat lines out there - off you go Micheal.... Oh for heavens sake, who is this guy??

Looking back I can't believe we were both so nervous about going. It was the strangest mix of people you could ever imagine but everyone just wanted to talk, even the youngsters for whom we could have been their mothers! Perhaps that's where we're going wrong - we should all just get out there & talk to each other! It really was a fantastic night. Looking back I can’t believe we were both so nervous about going.
