Munich dating websites

As the topic description goes- just want feedback from anyone who has ever had experience form them?

Never really thought about using them, though I went speeddating once, and it was actually quite a laugh.

I think there is one all the expats use out here, but I'm buggered if I can remember the website address. It veers off topic occasionally but it's basically all about hooking up and shagging 'n stuff.

AFF, so I've heard

Some possibly useful feedback here: Internet dating - Anyone ever tried it?

I used Muenchner Singles for a while, but you always get guys who want to hop into bed with you, guys who want to marry you, or guys who aren´t interested. Errm, that sounds stupid when you read it, but I think you know what I mean. It does tend to attract the desperate. Have always wanted to try the speed-dating thing just for fun. Still, you meet the most interesting people at TT events. Maybe not your life-partner, but nice people to hang out with.

One of my friends met his wife on one of these speed dating things in Oxford. I teased him when he told me but he rightfully pointed out how else do you meet so many people so quickly who are single?

Yes that does sound a bit stupid. Sorry.

Actually speeddating was a real laugh when I did it, and i must admit English girls provide the best entertainment for these kind of things: you start the night (nearly always located in a bar), with about 20/25 girls, and as the night goes on, the girls get more and more pissed. I remember when I went, girl number 18 was so pissed she kept on falling off her seat. Comedy.

A friend of mine met his present girlfriend through Facebook, but that's a no-no for me! Think I will for the moment just stick to hookers, strip clubs, and bidding in an auction for shags with girls from Stuttgart.

There are thoeries around the first two are cheaper sex in the long run. I'd be careful with the last one.

This is not really related to Munich, but I just read in the IHT that Facebook is also the premier choice for dating in Saudi Arabia:

Unfortunately you have to weed out the good from the undesirable. When I was single, I remember 98.0 % of the men I met were UNDESIRABLE. Unfortunately that number went up the older I got.

Yeah, but you don´t want to sleep with someone on the FIRST date, and you also don´t want to start planning your future life with someone on the FIRST date. Or maybe I am weird that way. I got marriage proposals before even meeting people sometimes. And as nice as I think it would be to meet a great guy and get married, I place the emphasis on "great guy" and not "get married". I agree with you Lavender, that 98 percent of the men are not what I am looking for. And then of the 2 percent left over, not all are looking for me. *sigh* But I have my dog ;-)

Edit: @Dostoyevsky -- so all those Saudi hunks asking to be my friend on Facebook aren´t SPAM?

Nothing would turn me out more than aggressive men who wanted to sleep with me on the first date or even elude to anything sexual. The dating scene can be a very scary place.

Oh, and about those Saudi's they abolished Valentine Day I read on CNN yesterday.

Its not that easy as i have found out in this very short time , and it is even worse , if you are not local , people do tend to not respond just because they have a mindset of something " alien ". :|

Religion vs. commercialized Valentine. What is worst ?

I've only tried online dating once, on match.com and it was ok actually, but I was very fussy and there was only one girl on the whole thing I even bothered trying, we dated a few times - slept togethor on the third date I think.. In the end we were just both to busy to take it anywhere and more conveniently located people sort of came along, but it was a pretty nice experiance really, she was cool.. I think I was lucky by the sounds of it though.

Ultimately I think its just easier to meet people out and about, as at least you can tell if you get on pretty quickly with a bit of banter, especially with all these super friendly German girls about - although they do tell me German guys are a bit difficult (which is fine by me) but not so easy for you expat ladies i guess.

Dunno if i would dare try speed-dating though, seems a little brutal for me

I've never dated anyone. I've never had the chance. What I mean is, I've never done the 'dating' thing. It's a whole area of life I know zilch about. All the women I've *cough* known kind of happened by just bumping into them through the course of everyday life until one woman just came up to me and bing, bang, bosh, I'm old, married and with kids.

I suppose that's better than being undesirable, right?

Actually, thinking about it, my disappointment with Muenchener Singles might come from the fact that the very first guy I met was great and we were together for half a year. After that, my expectations were probably too high.

Sin, I think bing bang bosh is how it is supposed to work. All this internet dating is for those of us who are bing bang bosh impaired.
