But I can imagine there are lots of desperate people on the paying ones though. Why pay for a service that you can get elsewhere for free?

But then, why bother full stop?

I can just imagine people making fake profiles or people they know etc as pranks.

I suppose thats true but not all of them are going to be and i reckon you could root out the timewasters fairly quickly. Tbh if i was going to go on one i prob wouldnt pay for it

I've paid for match.com before and really got nowhere and the odd thing is im not even unattractive.

I photograph particularly badly though and have a habit of giving off a 'one night stand' vibe I guess.

Odd thing is I'd never look on there for a one nighter, just pick from the lower end of the IQ pool that would be happy with me buying them a drink.

Its very hit and miss I guess and maybe I need to rework myself and have some proper photo's taken. Not my attempts at half arsed photoing myself whilst trying to look good bodge jobs.

Just a theory in that I'm selling myself wrongly on the website with my words and probably come across as someone who would go on a date, get my end away and then never call back.

Far from the truth mind....

Maybe you should revise what you're profile says. Read and think hard about what needs keeping and changing.

All of it!

Odd thing is I give presentations all the time but when it comes to selling myself I'm rather pathetic!
