Some of us are single.

Some of us know men that are single.

Surely there could be some sort of blind date topic on here?

Now hang on just a cotton pickin' minute.

Us blokes, especially us single ones, have worked damn hard to get treated as regular Mners. I don't want to change that. I am an MNer, not just a man.

This idea gets a harumph

SPsFanjoSponsoredByFemFresh · 24/08/2012 21:55

I'd like one a bit older then me. So around 25 to 30.

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 24/08/2012 21:55

Blackberry, don't have anal on the fence. Think of the splinters!

SPsFanjoSponsoredByFemFresh · 24/08/2012 21:56

That better Grin

Somebloke · 24/08/2012 21:57

Gnocchi, this thread worried me precisly becaus I'm single.

Trial run? How much of a trial are we talking?

GnocchiNineDoors · 24/08/2012 21:57

There's plenty of attached MNers with single feamle friends too Nicholas, hold onto you tea cosy. Dont start getting all RadFem on us

If this works, I may be on my way to an OBE.

Dunno, well, theres SPs for a start, and if you look 20years old, Sassy'll be interested. Not sure how far you'll get with Nicholas, not sure you're his type.

Hmm...tonight? Maybe four, five?

Imagine the date rehash on active threads

SPsFanjoSponsoredByFemFresh · 24/08/2012 22:06

Is he a tried and tested product?

Olympicnmix · 24/08/2012 22:07

Otoh, any man that braves the vipersnest must have some spunk

GnocchiNineDoors · 24/08/2012 22:08

Hmmm...not by me, or (more surprisingly) my sister Virgo, tsk but he comes highly Grin recommended from her friend(s).

Well, as DH would take a dim view on my going on blind dates, maybe I could just supply single youngish men to all you lovely ladies?

Bachelor Nr1 is v sporty, has own successful business, non-smoker, gets delightfully and funnily drunk on occasion.
Bachelor Nr2 is tall, blond and handsome, speak 2 foreign languages and likes exotic travel.
Bachelor Nr3 is a successful musician, once reasonably 'famous', tall, skinny and handsome with rather dangerous smolder.

I could go on, honest, I could Grin

MyLittleMiracles · 24/08/2012 22:12

That is true. Braving the vipersnet means they have to have balls, would these very luckyvictims men know what our plans were look evil at scheme

SPsFanjoSponsoredByFemFresh · 24/08/2012 22:13

dogwood send all 3 of them too me. I guess I could take one for the type and do a test drive Grin

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 24/08/2012 22:14

Keep some lollysticks handy somebloke. You never know when you'll need a splint Wink

PacificDogwood · 24/08/2012 22:15

Fanjo, I fear you might just finish them off. And not sure they are fans of FemFresh - but then, who the fuck is??

Sassybeast · 24/08/2012 22:18

Pacific I'll have all 3.

'gavel'

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 24/08/2012 22:18

Hmmm as a single divorced mum may vote is YANBU Grin

If a man was posted to me I'd like to keep him for 24 hours...

GnocchiNineDoors · 24/08/2012 22:19

Hmm....On my 'books'

Bachelor 1 - 50s, red head, photographer by trade, no TV, likes fishing and camping
Bachelor 2 - 40s, looks like Mel Gibson when he turns the right way, does a bloody brilliant orangutan impression, has some of the sweetest children on the planet
Bachelor 3 - 60years old, very very intelligent, ex army, likes his own space, generous with his time and very kind.

Can I put an order in Pacific for a man of at least 40? With the stamina of a horse Grin

GnocchiNineDoors · 24/08/2012 22:19
