What is it single men want?

Culturalmum · 05/10/2006 13:16

I know this is probably a stupid question, but having been single on and off for 5 years post separation, I'm wondering whether I'm looking at the wrong age range (men my age) and should be looking younger. I'm not looking for marriage & definitely no more children, but I would like somebody who has the stamina to keep up and emotional depth to stick around for a while and appreciate my cooking and caring skills. As a single mum spontaneity can take some planning, but surely there are some men in the same boat too? Also, when did it become acceptable not to say why you aren't interested in a second date instead of just not making contact? I?m no supermodel-being on the curvaceous side-but I?m not fat, stupid or dull either. I work full time in a mainly female environment which doesn?t help, but why has the man I left for drinking & being sexless got himself settled and I?m still floating?

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 05/10/2006 20:59

not very civilised pannini????? and since hwen has it been civilised to broach the subject of pissing on someone while on a first date????or has dating drastically changed since my day?

Pannini · 05/10/2006 21:00

mags - I have a queue of them.

Cowpat · 05/10/2006 21:00

LOL Alex....i think things have drastically changed

maggiesmama · 05/10/2006 21:00

er. no i didnt. not sure i think telling someone you met about an hour before you want to piss in their mouth is either sensitive or civilised either, though, for what its worth

maggiesmama · 05/10/2006 21:01

anyway, enough highjacking

back to what men want

come on boys, spill...

Cowpat · 05/10/2006 21:01

Pannini - you have a queue of nice boys, a queue of lovely ladies, and yet, you are all single? How is that?

maggiesmama · 05/10/2006 21:01

bring em on pannini

Pannini · 05/10/2006 21:02

1st date???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, eermmmm.....nah, that is so piss poor. Hoping for a golden moment on a first date...no sense of timing. Hope you told him to piss off.. Not for the practice, just the social ineptitude.

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 05/10/2006 21:02

cowpat-is that you cod?

Pannini · 05/10/2006 21:03

VVVCP - we are just choosey.

Cowpat · 05/10/2006 21:08

Well then, how is that possibly going to entice maggie?

Alex - since, as panninininini has alluded to already, I am VVVQV.

maggiesmama · 05/10/2006 21:10

i no understand the letters?

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 05/10/2006 21:10

ooh sorry vvq-getting all confused with all the cow names!
so pannini-are you male or female?

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 05/10/2006 21:12

maggiesmama-i literally know no single men. racking my brain and not coming up with any.

what would your ideal man be like?

Pannini · 05/10/2006 21:12

maggie will CHOOSE when she wishes to be enticed - she will know this.

Pannini · 05/10/2006 21:13

alexs - guess.....
