Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 26)

[BlackFLAMECandle]

Oooh brand new thread!

Lol Lou :o

Hi all

just working out logistics for 12th - I can get there for 7.30 - is that about right?

Flame, do stay, you are v welcome. Let me know if you want to come via mine before we go out or meet at the bar with your bag (Raf collecting us in car)

I am so looking forward to this

Morning all

7.30 is fine for me, though earlier is no problem. Dress code? How glam are we?

Text from soldier this morning, he was working past midnight and v apologetic, so I've got my :) back.

i can't go

I would prob get there a bit earlier and would have to leave early I think unfortunately.

Is anyone on Smooch - they now want you to put your weight on your profile for all to see - aren't alot of people quite sensitive about this (either way) - I have put a weight on there for now but thinking of removing my profile.

AIBU?

YANBU Sin, I think that is not something that should be on a profile personally

Have realised I'm off work on the 12th so can get there as early as needed - 5ish? will be pleasantly merry pissed by time MILY arrives

SCL agree re the weight thing; totally unnecessary imo, I think asking you to describe body shape is absolutely as far as it should go. and thats nothing to do with the fact I am overweight - back in the (distant) days when I was a shapely size 12 I still weighed between 10 and 11 stone, and theres no way I would have wanted men to know that!

I may well get there earlier, depends on how quickly I can drop the girls for their sleepover and jump on the train

Hi all

SCL think there's an option of tell you later (yeah, like never!)

POF guy has responded by sending me his mobile number asking me to call if I have any spare time.

BTW check out yellowbubble if you fancy a laugh!

And depending on whether my mum is happy to start babysitting earlier rather than later could probably get there about sixish.

KDK, result! Are you going to ring?

i liked your message. :) Carrot had a song quote on his so think i finished the quote as my intro. he sent a message to me saying there were no decent arm related jokes.

If i could come to you first MILY that would be good as Im driving up.

:( for the horse

Oh Yes there is the 'ask me' option - it just threw me because when I logged on last night it asked me to fill all that in.

So I got all Les Dawson huffy over nada LOL

Don't really know why I'm bothering as I have become too world weary to date anyone. eg just had a mail from someone who said if I fancy a chat sometime to contact him - there was nothing that stood out about him to make me want to.
It said on his profile he was bald and worked in IT.

KDK - are you going to ring the guy from pof - he looked quite quirky - presumably an 'artisan' carpenter - I sorta need somewhere in the middle of him and the bald IT bloke

not metrosexual not neanderthal.

what do you reckon to him? Shall I send a message?

Have just decided to go for it in terms of sending messages to guys I think look (remotely) possible rather than wait for them to contact me. Am supposed to be going on dates at some time with two guys of girlsdateforfree - will dig them out for you all to have a laugh look at. They both asked me for a drink before I went on holiday but I asked to raincheck - now not sure whether I should contact them or wait for them to contact me!

yes kdk ring him! and then update us

Sorry - should be datingforparents - look for jaqueverde and pharmacy123 from girlsdateforfree.

i like his profile kdk

sorry the ring him bit was in relation to the one from yesterday :)

as to this one, yes send a message. nothing ventured etc!

and as to the dfp ones if they seem normal ish then why not rearrange drinks as well?!

at this rate I will be the only singleton left

Tweet, what is the best way to get in touch to give you directions etc? am on FB, how do I find you?

sponge - how do you fancy checking this out? I've been thinking about it but wouldn't want to go on my own - just like going to a bar but at least you know that most/some are there to meet people so not too embarrassing to make eye contact etc - or am I kidding myself? And what do we reckon to Stephen Fry's comments re sex and women - have to say that at times in the last six years I would have even shagged the man himself even on Hampstead Heath so think I for one don't believe him!

kdk yes I'd give it a go, I wouldnt go on my own either - although I cant really do midweek, do they ever do anything on a Friday/Sat?

Re SF, I dont believe him either, far too much of a generalisation.

no sponge think I will be the last one left

(shall I turn the lights out?)

KDK - think the one from POF looks alright.

As for Stephen Fry - I don't think he knows what he's talking about - have been reading through the other threads on that and really have never traded sex for shelves or to keep someone happy or as the price I pay for being in a relationship.

Ive always liked (loved) sex for sex sake but the difference is that I would pick my partners carefully for safety reasons (tho when young did a few risky things) and when I can't use BOB.

He also does gay men a disservice by suggesting they all hang around in public places looking for casual sex.

I have also been in two long term live in relationships (one lived with and one married) where my sex drive was alot higher than the mans.

Just had this message on a website
'Hi there,

I'm getting in touch on behalf of Women's Only magazine, who are doing a short feature on women who are divorced and now happily dating.

Fees are usually paid upon feature...

Please get in touch ASAP if you would like to be a part of this, or if you would like any more information.

I look forward to hearing your stories!

Best wishes,

Grace'

Anyone want to take part - I would but can hardly describe myself as 'dating' more 'hoping to date' given a fair wind and the existence of Father Christmas and the tooth fairy

afternoon everyone

just placemarking and popping in to say i wont be able to come on the 12th, sorry

Before he pulled his twitter account SF said that the quote was a misquote from another interview that had already been taken out of context. I believe him as he has reacted so strongly.

MILY - will send you a message.

Nooooooooooooooo lou!

i said sorry :(
