Reply to: Contractor Dating Site

[SimonMac]

I'm thinking of setting up a contractor dating site, match up contractors with other like minded individuals.

Should really be pretty simple to setup, age, sex, length of contract, rate - that should be enough to satisfy most contractors.

The good news, I can then sell on personal and business information to recruiters, IPSE and HMRC.

Great idea?

IPSE is all about single mums now, it's a dating site in itself

Q57. Do you steal food from client canteen, not declare to HMRC, then brag about it on CUK?

[woohoo]

Have you tried my ex-wives?

Who hasn't

It's also clear there is only one women on this site and she has a boyfriend, so that leaves only Brillo and NLUK who would hook up. Neither of them are generous with their cash and can't see them paying the fees.

Hopefully not with each other? PC will not be pleased with me if I take his intended.

I would be generous with my cash if I had any. Have you tried my ex-wives?

Well after reviewing the posts in this thread, I've decided to not go ahead with the dating site.

It's clear that many of you are a danger to yourselves never mind others and I'm not sure I can afford the legal fees for being sued.

Wonder if I would have more luck with the IPSE clientele, instead of contracting dating I could brand it as Independent Professional dating site. Those hipsters are loaded and will pay £5 for a coffee so my fees will be nothing to them.

Your dates can drink 10 pints ?

She'd need to - especially with the suit he was wearing at the Xmas do...

10 pints helps though.

I've often felt like finding a partner and contracting are similar in so many ways...

For Dattern Test contracting is more akin to his sex life. Alway ends up stuffing pound coins through some letter box in the middle of Reading.

You start to get desparate and would consider anything that is going until you find something better.

You'd expect it the other way around but this is truer of my dating life than my contracting life. 10 pints helps though.

e.g.
It can be difficult to find one (or a decent one at least), being rejected by the ones you like, or chased by the ones you dont.
You have good conversations initially, you think this could be going somewhere, meeting face to face seems very likely but then out of nowhere you get ghosted.
When you have found one they usually only last a few months. Occasionally you get one that last longer but they never last and you have to move on.
You always need to have sufficient protection before you go to work.
You get bored too easily, get itchy feet or you get a better offer and leave.
You get used to each other, boundaries are crossed and you take each other for granted. Worse still they could start controlling you.
You sometimes sleep in strange beds.
Dry spells suck. You start to get desparate and would consider anything that is going until you find something better.

Or is it just me?

I'd have thought that would be more likely after a pairing with NLUK.

He got paired with PC.

No you just end up in a pub talking to sportswear retailers

I entered my details - and got paired up with NLyUK. I am not doing that again - I couldn't walk for a week after the last time.
