"Divorced.
BMI indicates I'm not tall enough.
No hobbies.
Have watched so much news today that I'm concerned I'll have a Scottish accent when I finally speak to somebody."

How about yours 😁

Mine does actually say I'm fat, but it leaves out the fact that I don't shave anything, have no intention of ever living with anyone again, and live in a council flat with a dog in my bed.
No car, no money, up for a vigorous session with a big willy every now and then, please bring pizza.

dubyalass · 11/09/2022 20:35

I'd date all of you.

Mine would be along the lines of "I like my men like my tea: strong, dark and brought to me in bed. Your mother would approve of me but I have no intention of replacing her. And like hell are you moving in."

Lovemusic33 · 11/09/2022 20:36

Grumpy at times.
Has many projects on the go…..none of which will get finished.
Don’t really like people and can not handle small annoying children.
Often erratic.
Rarely sits still.
Memory like a sieve.
Useless at making any kind of plans that involve anyone other than myself.
Quirky….not necessarily in a good way.
Has too many hobbies, most that don’t involve any other humans.
Prefers dogs to people.

MatterOfThyme · 11/09/2022 20:36

Disarming. I'll winkle pick your soul and use it to hold you to ransom. Don't even try to do the same to me...my double standards game is strong. On a good day - I'll be your trophy wife, cheerleader, therapist and best friend. On a bad (average) day - the storm at your picnic. You've been warned.

dottypencilcase · 11/09/2022 20:37

Fat, opinionated, loves organisation and neatness and going into her own mental head space from time to time. (Guaranteed no takers!)

Glitterbaby17 · 11/09/2022 20:52

Somewhat competitive idealists seems decent human for board games, rock climbing and roast dinner.
If you don’t help clean up you won’t last long.

Somewhat like a puppy - require regular exercise and fresh air or I get fat and unhappy.
Likes sex but god please don’t let it last for ages.
My kids will always come first.

OldTinHat · 11/09/2022 20:54

Looking for a 6'3 minimum height man for arm candy. I'm 5'7, don't want a 'partner', have better things to sort out!

limitededitionbarbie · 11/09/2022 20:55

High risk height reward.

Health anxiety issues

Crank, either laughing or crying or fewwwmin - because am probably peri menopausal

Likes sitting on arse watching reality tv and the same Netflix series.

Googlecanthelpme · 11/09/2022 21:02

These are all amazing and I’d be swiping for everyone.
prefer a GSOH and honesty over everything else.

my real bio actually just said:

perfectly average in every way.

and I really am 😂it worked though I got shit loads of attention and an eventual DH who loves a bit of average

FatPatsCat · 11/09/2022 21:04

Oh yes, cannot be bothered shaving ✔️

Also - socially awkward

Garysmum · 11/09/2022 21:19

The contents of my bookshelf are impressive but more so I’ve read them all. If my mind is on fire, I could destroy nearly anyone on an intellectual level.
However, I tend do 3 things at once - and all badly. I am the best fun at parties and tell the most captivating stories but it comes at a price as I need to be on my own for days at a time to recover.
A bit fat, but tall. Yes I have solid thighs but so would you if you spent as much time on a bike as I do.
Physically deteriorating rapidly with chronic illness, though you won’t spot it until forced to use a stick.
Best left on shelf unless you are prepared for a tempestuous mind and body.

EthelMcUnready · 11/09/2022 21:22

If you were a man (& I wasn't happily married) I would totally reply to that 😂

PreColumbian · 11/09/2022 21:26

I look alright
i think I’m probably fairly annoying
i repeat myself a lot
am fond of an afternoon nap
thats about it. What a catch!

CormoranStrike · 11/09/2022 21:29

Lots of hobbies
hates housework
BMI needs serious attention
Doesn’t suffer fools

Solasum · 11/09/2022 21:31

Very happy in own company, by which understand 99% of my time is not available to you, and I would be perfectly happy to see you just once a week with no contact at all in between, especially ‘how was your day’.
Not even slightly interested in sex 3/4 weeks of the month.
Perfect evening would involve someone else serving me a meal without any input required from me, then reading under a blanket on the sofa.

ComeUpandSeeMe · 11/09/2022 22:20

Almost certainly taller than you. 40s and can no longer be bothered with pubic grooming. Great fun after two glasses of wine but asleep after three. Often flat out ignore messages. Really, really like cats.

FourTeaFallOut · 11/09/2022 18:49

😁

I need to use this line 😂

My last profile actually was honest - it’s started “48, fat and fairly good fun”. Still got plenty of takers! I’ve been a little less blunt on this one, but tbh I’m all about being honest and up front so may revert to that!

aurynne · 11/09/2022 22:47

I love this thread.

My honest bio:

I'm reasonably attractive, fit and healthy for a 40-something so I expect the same. Not interested in you if you're older than 50 unless you don't look your age and are equally fit and attractive.

I'll get really excited if I fancy you and probably will be a pain in the arse, but if you happen to fancy me I will likely feel overwhelmed and push back.

I have my own home, job and money and expect you to be the same. You're not moving into my place. In fact, I expect you to stay in yours most of the time.

I need time alone and time to see my own friends by myself. You're not going to be my everything. I expect you to have a life and respect that I have mine, which doesn't always involve you.

Sex gives me thrush, so it needs to be amazing if I agree to have to deal with all the creams and bother of keeping it under control. And once I come I don't want you to go on forever. Sort yourself out and let me sleep.

My dog is the most important person in my life. You need to be approved by her and like her and be nice to her at all times. There's both human and dog hair in my home. Get used to it.

I like spontaneity and challenges in life. I get bored by "the simple life". I want to travel, meet different people, do different things, have different jobs. If you can't keep up, I'll get bored of you soon.

I don't have kids for a reason. i don't mind if you have older ones, but having younger ones would mean I'd have to deal with your ex-partner and little kids, and with you being bound to stay at the same place as your children for over 10 years. So no. Older kids are ok as long as they are not a pain in the arse and you don't expect me to parent them.

Man, I'm a catch, me.

😂😂😂 Love it!

DatingDinosaur · 12/09/2022 00:09

Perimenopausal. Fickle. Mostly can’t be arsed apart from when I irrationally go off on one. I rarely wear make up. No interest in fashion. I don't do pointless chit-chat texting/messaging/social media.

Look, just save us both the time, money and heartache and swipe left.

DancingBudgie · 12/09/2022 00:26

Mine would be....
Hates everything apart from dogs, holidays, the pub and grub.
I have hair that looks like an exploding mattress and an arse that likes to mate with the backs of my knees.
I like to grump about everything and anything.
I'm a hot and wet babe in bed although, but only because of my hot flushes!
Interested? Call someone else who gives a shiny one.
