Dating/Friendships

Do people still converse?


Weetabix:
I did make a couple of female friends here a couple of years ago. I introduced myself by sending them meal money via PayPal. They were quite friendly whilst it seemed I would send them money. However there was only mild interest when I suggested a date and that would never actually happen. As much as I would like to disagree with you in my experience they are wanting money.

MrClever:
This was the entirety of my experience on Feabie. A lot of interest in money and immediate erotic chat, zero in getting to know each other as people.

By the way, well met sir, assuming you're the Weetabix of yore. I remember hearing of you when I was but a lad lurking about the community back in the 2000s.

Weetabix:
Yes that's me. You probably visited my website back in the day. You may have know SQMS, my late wife.

I was on Match.com for a year thinking that the problem was FF. Same thing, people just want validation that they are attractive, not really interested in meeting.

It is vital to actually meet people but starting off a relationship online it will remain online. Back in 2000 I met SQMS in Kelli Girl's Bulge Chat but we never translated that to the physical world. Instead I chatted up a fat girl at work and it later transpired we had met online and that she was that Feedee.

Things have not improved in 25 years unfortunately. This goes pretty much for everything. Music, cars, relationships, all were best in the 1990's. It's like my favourite movie, The Matrix. Agent Smith says they based the Matrix on 1999.


Yes, I remember SQMS. Sorry to hear that she passed.

That's been my experience as well. I've met one person through FF, a few dates via 'normal' apps, but nothing ever went anywhere. It does feel as though earlier times were easier, but that could also be a matter of age. After getting past 35, I find that my options have narrowed considerably.

I got a date within a couple of weeks of joining Match.com. It was a pleasant enough experience that went nowhere. It left me with the impression that Match.com was worth sticking with. However a year after that first date I've had no more dates.

If I was running a struggling dating agency and I had no scruples I would pay some of my trusted female members to date losers like myself to keep them hooked. They only have to drink some coffee and eat some cake and make £50.

I have just cancelled my Match.com so will save over £20 a month. Probably better spent on FF again.
