Hi all, Ricky here.
It is with regret that we make our first post on here. We've been on the site as a couple for a good while now, having started off on here as two singles, and while we've had the fortune of some good meets, the majority of those meets have only come after the utmost hassle.
In the past week alone, we have had 3 separate cancellations, and every one of them at the very last minute. I personally had arranged another meet, this time as a single, and again cold feet got in the way. There is an awful lot of talk on this site about the number of single guys who bottle it and either don't show or cancel late, and much of it is justified. However, in all 4 of these instances, we were dealing with single females. Now, the ratio of single men to women here is a bit ridiculous to say the least, but it must also be said that most (and I stress MOST, not all) of the fems on here make it particularly hard for anyone to even strike up a conversation with them. Bearing this attitude in mind, you'd think that when a single girl goes through the whole process of a) letting you into her bubble, b) having a conversation that lasts more than 3 sentences and c)swapping info and contact details, she'd actually follow through with a meet. But apparently not.
I realise that all 4 may have had their reasons, but this is a serious waste of time at this stage. I'm wondering if we should have a list of fakers, a lot like the "confirmed" list we have for people who actually do meet up. I do acknowledge that the door would potentially be open for people to falsely accuse others of faking it (and having just encountered an absolute nutjob {Tyrone-based, not naming names} that Chrissy added on I could see how there might be problems), but as it stands, the "confirmed" list is being abused too. We've been asked by 2 couples (again who shall remain nameless) who asked us to confirm them in return for the same. No meet, just building a collection of confirmations. Makes you think.
So what say you to the no-shows list?
C&R
