To think that MN needs a dating section?

A fred about a fred Xmas Grin. It has come to my attention that many lovely Mnetters are single, myself included. And many of us aren't in a position to meet many men.

So AIBU to think that a pass-on-your-single-friend/brother/amicable Ex dating service would be A Good Thing? MNetters directing their single men in the general direction of other Mnetters?

Nightmare SIL thread waiting to happen? Or good plan?

My ex was a tosser and my brother looks like Daddy Pig (from Peppa Pig).

It is a very, very bad idea.

SuePurblybiltByElves · 11/12/2010 22:57

Now, Crackfox, lots of people fancy Daddy Pig. They do.

Ah, you lost it when you said he'd want kids.
I'm not offering any.
I also don't really know much about Noel Coward, including who he is.

well due to sue's locationary issues, my brother's still up for grabs Grin

KatieSantaPawskitty · 12/12/2010 11:26

Go on then HippyP, purely as an experiment, how would you describe your brother?

TiggyD · 12/12/2010 12:14

I think a dating section would be a good idea. I think you should have to apply to a 'Love Board' of Mumsnutters first to assess your worthiness. Only then are you allowed to post your desperate begging letters.

Sections for women will include:
Mad cat women
Getting on a bit
Froot Shoot drinkers
Soap watchers
Very desperate
Rubbish at picking men

The Male section will include:
Clean
Dirty
Weird
One handed typists

SpringHeeledJack · 12/12/2010 15:29

...do you think we could have a swaps page as well, for those of us who are already attached?

In theory sounds lovely...... but thought we were all meant to support each other not pass on our good for nothing ex's to some poor unsuspecting MN Xmas Grin.

Or is it just my ex whos a waste of space, cos if theres any good exes...............

TrillianAstra · 12/12/2010 15:47

Would be massively dodgy. We've seen the lengths trolls will go to when all they want is sympathy and attention for their delusions.

MuthaHubbard · 12/12/2010 16:08

it sadly does have some major pit falls - though thankfully my ex isn't good for nothing, just not good for me!
