Please don't talk at me about cars

[almutasakieun]

That's one of my "interests" on my online dating account.
In the last four weeks, I've had NOTHING but men who are either mechanics, car salesmen or in love with their own cars message me!
Today, I get a guy sending me a video of a car race. I asked him what it was. He tells me he's the guy in the yellow car (there are 4 yellow cars).
Why? Fucking why? These are not people who have not read my profile either as at the very bottom I've disclosed something that they all have mentioned to me.
WHY? WHY? fUCKING WHY? I don't care about cars!!!!!!!!! Stop talking to me about cars!!!!! Oh God, I just want to shout!

Ah, then you should have put 'not Gary Andrews' (or whatever the boring date was called).

I don't get it. It couldn't be clearer on my profile lol. And that seems to be all I get. Maybe they think their 'baby' will convert me. 'I'm in the yellow car'. Yeah honey? Good for you. It's cars driving around in a circle.

almutasakieun people can be boring on any topic if it's all they talk about.

As ShatnersBassoon says, they'd have been as dull monologuing about pot holing, or cycling, or darts, or real ale, or Liverpool FC. You'll need a lot of nots on your list.

Perhaps add "The dying art of engaging two way conversation" to your interests and remove not cars.

Same genius told me it wasn't lightening that I'd seen. Cos you need two clouds for lightening.

True fucking story.

Lightning?

almutasakieun do you have children or any experience with children?

If you call out to a running child "don't run" they hear "run!"

You have to call out "walk!"

Also there is a chance these car nuts either think your not cars is humour or are trying to be annoying.

Maybe if I put NOT RICH down, I'll get a load of millionaires texting me haha.

I have more experience with children than with men evidently.

Remove it then. It's not working.

I had a date with an anime bore. I didn't change my interests to "not anime". Had plenty of anime-free dates before and after. Some people are bores. Get over it.

I don't even know what an anime is. At least I know what a car is. I should be grateful lol.

Probably best not to mention cars at all! They just see the word ' Cars' and think 'Yes!'. They don't see the words 'Not' or 'Don't'.

To be fair I would go easy on the blokes. As other posters have said, they only see the word Car. Everything else is irrelevant.

Just remove the comment

Didn't Derren Brown do something like this, a big sign, saying, Do Not Under Any Circumstances Press This BIG RED BUTTON. No prizes. It's a unisex thing this word triggering, pick a thread here, say someone describes a mystery ailment, they say quite clearly they saw the Doctor who assured them it was something minor, you could take bets someone will say you really should see a Doctor. Reminds me of the old conversation joke, well that's enough about me, let's talk about me.

Like Finfinty I am curious as to whether or not the knitting has got a response. Personally I’d be very interested in a man who liked me to knit. Good luck in the search
