I mean it doesn't even make sense. Why would he be both seed and compost 🤔

I'm going to take a punt and suggest self seeding

Big Sigh….

Bloody hell.

I thought OLD was bad when I tried it once and had a guy who was about a foot shorter than he'd claimed, and another one who was a paraplegic but didnt tell me until a few hours before the date, then brought a chaperone 😳

But it's not as bad as these days. Blimey.

Oof. I too had a tiny man turn up. I'm 5'3 and had in my bio that I wasn't bothered about height provided he was a couple of inches taller than me at least. I am a bit of a "just in case" person when I'm going out for the day, and as I was going to be in town, getting a train and didn't know how long I'd be out for I had brought a pair of really comfy flats. When he was up buying us a coffee I changed shoes, which helped a little, but he was perhaps 5 feet tall.

Nowt wrong with that, if you are honest about it. He also had a cock of the walk strut, had abandoned his family/kidswhen they were young - as he told me during our first date though he didn't quite put it like that - and was very full of himself, so it was doomed regardless.

😳😂😱
This cannot possibly be real.

Edited

It must be a joke profile.

Shitmonger · 07/08/2025 01:00

“Male loneliness epidemic” indeed. 🙄😂

Mrsbloggz · 07/08/2025 01:01

That is quite . . . . something!
You'd think it must be a spoof/trolling, or does he take himself too seriously for that to be the case?
He thinks he's pulled with that . . . 'creation'😶

Yes, I think we found patient zero!

notreallyuponJL · 07/08/2025 01:17

Nah, it's just 40 years out of date. I re-read the content four times, and each time it sounded like answers which three men might have given to one woman on an episode of Blind Date from the mid 1980s, in response to her saying something like "I love the outdoors and I don't like weeds in my garden...what would you say if I told you that we'll be spending our weekends hard at it on the lawn...and that's to number two, please". 😁

He's going nowhere near my clematis.

😁

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 07/08/2025 01:25

It is unlikely to have been written by him, these generic posts go around on the internet.

What I don’t get though, if a man really wants to meet someone then why do they self sabotage? That profile tells you nothing about him other than he can copy and paste from a Reddit dating sub.

(I did find it funny though 🤣)

coxesorangepippin · 07/08/2025 01:31

These men are mad

Catladywithoutacat · 07/08/2025 01:33

old
men who want to dunk desperate women with no self esteem
good luck

MuckFusk · 07/08/2025 01:48

I take it that his field is fallow.

LBFseBrom · 07/08/2025 01:52

Yeuch! I wouldn't go near somewhere like that.

Agapornis · 07/08/2025 01:53

He needs a whacking with a bamboo cane.

Iamnotalemming · 07/08/2025 01:54

He thinks he's Monty the Don.

Monty Dom 😉

Monty Dom 😉

More like he thinks he's Mighty Dong.

DoingTRexInTheSupermarket · 07/08/2025 01:55

He sounds like he actually thinks that’s deep…

Devilsmommy · 07/08/2025 01:57

I think I died inside a little reading that. Thank fuck I'm married 😅

LostVagueness25 · 07/08/2025 02:11

Bet that took him hours and he was really chuffed with it.

And it’s shite.

Zanatdy · 07/08/2025 05:06

I signed up once and lasted 24hrs. Couldn’t do it

indeed - a clear euphemism for male wanking epidemic.

Highlighta · 07/08/2025 05:11

He is probably wondering why he has no matches. Being so hilarious and all. Sigh

Well I hope he has no matches.
