i just googled the subject and it looks like that,

sth called the "spontaneous pregnancy rate" is highest between age 20-25 and maxes out at 30%.

it drops down to 2-7% at age 40 until its 0,2% at age 45.

I need to stop sending messages to people. I'm having to put off asking girls out because i dont have any days free and then things just kind of lose momentum. Its kind of addictive though.

Went on a date with this really funny and cute girl last week but the date only lasted an hour and a half which is short in my book and there was only a hug at the end. I felt it was a lost cause but she said she might be interested in going out again this week. I feel like i need to suggest something other than drinks now but dinner is a bit too formal i think. What else even is there though?

Suggest something active and fun that you have in common, followed by a very casual sit.down dining place. That way its longer but still casual, yet different.

That sounds like a perfectly standard first date. And I don't think dinner is too formal, unless you go to a super formal place.

Sushi with sake sitting at the sushi bar is a way to do dinner without being formal but still nice/ booze

This is a good idea but i've never really tried sushi and fear i might not like a lot of it. I'm not that averse to trying it though and she might be into it. Its a possibility.

If you've never had sushi, I wouldn't go there for a first/second date type thing. Best to do things you're pretty comfortable with.

But you should stop being a weirdo and try sushi (by yourself or with friends).

By the way, I have a lunch date tomorrow that I set up online. I've never done a lunch date before. Anyway, I live in a rural area about 40 minutes away from the woman. She actually drove the whole thing and suggested lunch and that she could recommend a restaurant. She asked me what I liked. I responded that since I live in bump**** nowhere maybe some type of ethnic food would be good (since I don't get the chance to eat it).

Her recommendation:

Spoiler:
Mexican.


lol.

Have any of you ever basically lied/created a persona and run with it?

i haven't ever ran with anything. i have a disease that makes me edit. it shows up in real life and on 2p2 too. i need a sort of fake profile so that i don't try to improve upon it too often, and because i think it's sub-optimal to try be describing the whole scope of my being anyways (also IRL). i just want to make a very cohesive profile from beginning to end which only reveals one or two attributes of myself to answer most questions, but will probably add a single or a couple movies, tv shows, music, foods that i like.

EDIT: I don't actually want to put my favorite books, music, and movies in here. I think I'm going to skip that or just add something that will make the profile more cohesive.

What does it usually mean when a girl you've gotten digits from and knows you are going to call later in the evening to arrange a location has deleted their profile?

She got sick of receiving dick pics,
she is overwhelmed with dates in the upcoming weeks (including one or more with you)
She is getting semi serious with a guy, but still not exclusive yet, but doesn't see a need to add anyone new to the roster
Same as the last one, but just wants to make sure by meeting and talking to other guys before she fully commits
She unexpectedly got asked to be exclusive with someone and said yes and will apologize to you when you call
She got a promotion at work and will have to move soon
She's a crazy bitch and thinks once she goes on a date with someone she is exclusive until she stops going on dates with that person
Probably another hundred or so possibilities.

Decent possibility is she just got cold feet and up and quit the whole thing.

The content in this thread has gotten stale so I have decided to throw myself into the fire in hopes of getting this thread interesting again. There are some great contributors in this thread so I hope to get some good advice and direction.

NOTE: I will not be posting pictures/links to the profile I am talking to. I know that 2p2 just loves to trainwreck people. However, I am willing to send the links to trusted members so they can give better advice.

I have both a Match and POF account, but because my Match account has not recently been used it never gets views or messages (F there alogorithm!). Match does have better looking women on it though, so maybe I will start messaging girls on there again. I mainly use POF right now.

First, lets get some profile input. Here is my profile:
http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=10852744

A few things.
1)All pictures are pretty current.
2)The shirtless pic was not my idea. My good friend (girl in Chaco Taco pic) convinced me to make the online profiles and also convinced me the shirtless pic should be up. I thought it was douchy but it seems to get attention.
3)I will admit that my 'date idea' is one of those super cheesy PUA things. I originally made a POF account like 5 years ago and then deactivated it. I was too lazy to change that section, nor did I really care to. I am not into the PUA bull****.

There you have it. RIP ME A NEW ONE!

overall id say pretty good. youre well beyond the age of guys who should be posting shirtless pics, but youre certainly qualified to do so (in before ygos). id put the pink shirt pic up as your main pic. take down the lebron pic. and maybe take out a paragraph or two on your 'about me' section. just too much and too boring. first date and headline are awesome.

Definitely can show off the bod with slim fit clothing, or you playing sports instead of lolshirtless. I find if you're looking for ass then it would work well though. Basically agree with the above poster

Profile info is way too long though! Three or four shorter paragraphs is perfect

pretty good profile. if I was going the whole shirtless pic route, I would look for a more candid one. Like you jumping into a pool or surfing rather than the "Camera-phone into the mirror" look.

Just my 2 pennys.
