Having had limited success myself, I can only agree that PATIENCE is the name of the game!

well i am new single and male thanks for the advice will do my best to follow it
I agree with all the points that have been made and someone may have added the points that I am going to make, but there was too much to read back on and I lost the will to live lol.
I have noticed that some 'single' guys only put up pictures of women? Why? It's almost like they are attempting to catch the attention of a women through female bate. This may get initial interest with bi women (no interest at all for straight women) but if you are looking to meet 1 on 1, how is that going to promote meeting you?
Then there are the thousands of single guys who email single women asking to meet and don't offer any picture at all. I don't care how handsome you think you are, how important your job is etc, if I can't see what you look like or at least have a body shot I'm not going to meet you. Trust is very important and the fact you don't trust me with your picture, indicates that I can't trust you.
It is understandable that not everyone is able or happy to put face pics on here, but there is no reason why you can't add one to your private gallery and show those pics to the people you are geniunely interested in meeting. No one else can see those pics.
Also, read profiles before replying to them or sending a cutnpaste. I have had zillions of people tell me that they have a gorgeous female buddy who is very bi curious and they would love to meet me etc. I'M STRAIGHT!!! Stop looking at the pretty pics and read! I find intelligence attractive.

searching through some of my old posts and spotted this, so though i would life it out of the archives
I'm confused. I'm actually in in two minds about this.
Whilst I fully agree with everything that was posted (original post) and fully share the sentiment and support the motivation and reason of the poster (Thank you for this!) I however disagree that it should be addressing ONLY single males.
Lets face it: numpties and twats come in all shapes and sizes - its not an exclusive club of single males!
One couple I chatted to late last year at a club were talking about how they hate single guys being pushy, disrespectful and assuming hence why they prefer to only meet couples and go to Chams on couples night.
However I know another couple that had met them, the two ladies had conversed and exchanged numbers, only for the male half of first couple to get the number of the female of the second couple (though they had agreed all comms go through the girls) and start pestering her hoping for a meet while his wife doesn't know.
My point? by all means, post it - but PLEASE do not post it as a "Advice to single males" sticky, else it'll give a large number of couples and single girls reason to say "OMG - look at the atrocities those sad bastards get up to!" whilst some failing to look at themselves in the mirror.
One site did it, and till today, couples on that site STILL break pretty much every rule. When asked about it, their reasons smack of "Because we can."
To clarify, no one ever said "Because we can" (but they might as well have) but a few had actually said to me "Listen, swigning is about couples not singles, the rules are made FOR us BY us - if you don't like it, you can go elsewhere that the rules accomodate you better".
My response to one: "If its so much about couples, am curious how 'accomodating' it is to single girls".
Just found this post and have sat down and read it. I have also read the two links. The articules are well written and very informative and have improved my morale here too. I have just spent 10 mins reading it all and am so glad I did too. Many thanks to all three authors.
I think this thread needs a deserved dust down fr the new year.
