Well, nearly a year ago I decided to join AMM and paid to be a Gold member - I had had a few glasses of vino and really was'nt sure what, if anything would happen. After a number of very friendly 'chats' and few very helpful seasoned AMM users, I finally mastered how to use this site. I updated my profile on a regular basis - at the start, I ticked "water sports" assuming it meant skiing or boats - needless to say I unchecked that box quick smart..lol I had a lot of responses and made sure that I replied to all, even if it was a touch too raunchy or even a little bit cheeky. Its just polite to let people know where they stand, and when you are on a channel that "almost anything goes" you really can't afford to have prudish opinions on life, sex and love. My fella didnt write a whole lot and didnt put up a picture, but we corresponded for a while and then I realised he didnt type so well and it was a real effort for him to use the comp. We exchanged mobile numbers and nervously chatted, it was then I realised what I had interpreted via the written words was lost in the translation! So, we have been together 6 months and have moved intogether ...the whole shebang...and its fantastic!
So, I spend a lot of time showing my other single mates how this works and have a few hints that I'd like to share especially if you are looking for a partner -AMM - do I get commision???
1) be as real as you can, sure the model photos look great, but how many of us really look like that all the time? Pop on some that show what you are about, and be tasteful, its hard to talk to just a penis or a set of tits, but if that your thing..
2) be clear about your boundaries, especially sexually, afterall, this is the one time you get to say exactly what you want/like and need.
3) respond to all who have winked or messaged you - they took the time to read your profile, at least let them know that you are keen or not.
4) if you are going to meet up, do it at a public place and let somebody know where you are, tell your date that you have told your friend and that they expect you to check in to say your Ok. Be responsible -this is'nt the dark ages - Internet dating is OK :-)
5) Pay to join - whatever membership you can afford and verify your profile. Lets face it, its so cheap compared to a Dating agency or a failed dinner and drinks.
6) Check your emails at least once a week, we all know how frustrating it is when you are waiting for a reply, so if you intend to dissapear, then hide your profile and save others thier valuable winks/messages for somebody who is keen.
7) Have fun and take a chance (look outside the square) . If you always do what you have always done, then you will always have what you have always got!
I am one very happy customer as is my man and our life has been so much better because of AMM.
good luck and happy trails...
