Not veiny but also the smoothest skin, like you would want your own feet to be. Not the feet of a 6ft 5 fella.

I know a gigantic man with the most delicate hands I’ve ever seen and can’t lie, it freaks me out.

I very nearly walked away from an otherwise perfect man after the first night we spent together, because the tops of his feet were really smooth. I gave myself a good talking to and got over it.

Oh this is interesting! In my early 20s I dated an amazing guy who was a year younger than me - had only ever dated older men and I felt like i was being a bit creepy. First night I went back to his I realised his hair was so soft that it felt childlike. The minute the thought was in my head it wouldn't shift. Looking back on it, it sounds insane - the difference between 22 and 21 is nothing. Never saw him again and I had absolutely no good reason other than that 😬

The dreaded feathery stroker as described by Marian Keyes. Smile

I haven’t read the book but honestly I long to be feathery stroked. It’s my favourite thing!

Mine has a long finger nail on his left pinky finger. Makes my fanny clamp shut every time I notice it. 🤢

My friend stopped dating someone because she didn’t like the way he ate an apple, and someone else because he had a stain on his top. It was clean, he just hadn’t got the stain out.

She stands for no messing 😁

A woman after my own heart

The ick today. Divorce for consistent staining tomorrow 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

If it’s a “fancy new car” high chances are changing a bulb isn’t as easy as you might
think.

Show quote history

That is true. Some cars are built so you cannot DIY. You have to go to a garage that deals with that brand of car. You literally cannot get to the bulb.

Booked his car into the main dealer to replace a headlight bulb.

Yes I know it was included in the fancy new car deal but it took days to arrange, time out of work for both of us to drop off (and time out of our weekend to pick up) for the sake of an £8 bulb.

Oh, and getting his mum to book a GP appointment for him.
