Do you just sit and look at all the men on a site and think 'Yes but what is wrong with you?'

[petrovia]

I'm only on one site, have been there a good while and never really do anything, I just sit in a corner and occasionally get added as a 'potential goer' by someone or whatever you call it.

I keep telling myself, 'Come on, have a browse, there must be some nice chaps on here' and then I start to look through them and there are loads of really dodgy looking ones, and then I see someone who catches my eye and usually I find myself going 'yeah, but why haven't you got a girlfriend, there must be something up, otherwise you would NOT BE HERE'

and then I think 'but what about you, MissGiantbreasts1976, what are YOU doing on the shelf?!'

and then I just give up, because if the blokes out there are anything like me they are probably not ready for a relationship.

Crap isn't it? As you were...

IMVHE when 'men' say they have a sense of humour, what they actually mean is that they tell jokes and you are expected to laugh at them, and in all the right places.

Love the new name petrovia

I was winked at this week by someone calling himself Rhino51..... the mind boggles.

xxx

hes obviously a bit er horny i guess!
or maybe thick skinned?
mind boggling stuff eh?

Ha ha funny screen name!

what does he look like thou?
thats what i want to know!
have you looked him up Gettingagrip?

Well he is a dark, vegetarian, stockily built individual with no front teeth and a large horn

Obviously I couldn't actually see his horn as it wasn't that sort of site. The horn was implied rather than explicitly referred to .

He seemed to be a bit short sighted as he was squinting into the camera lens. At least I think it was a squint. Could have been a leer I suppose. Being as how all men on these sites are obviously nutters! (joke emoticon inserted here for niceguy)

I assume he must be 51 years of age, but I suppose that could be some sort of measurement?

Do you think he is a goer?

born in 51 I betcha
makes him 59
fancy a safari then?

ugggh FFS!!
is it any wonder we don't take some of them seriously?
yes that was a definite leer squint moment there
way hey think you're in there gettingagrip
god im so
can't you tell!

here he is!

hey he really is HOT lol!

Tell Rhino51 that Rhino51 is a male sexual enhancer

bet gettingagrip can't wait now

This below is specially for Mr niceguy...

Lacking empathy is a profound disturbance to the narcissist's thinking (cognition) and feeling (affectivity). Even when very intelligent, narcissists can't reason well.

They don't understand the meaning of what people say and they don't grasp the meaning of the written word either -- because so much of the meaning of anything we say depends on context and affect, narcissists (lacking empathy and thus lacking both context and affect) hear only the words.

(Discussions with narcissists can be really weird and disconcerting; they seem to think that using some of the same words means that they are following a line of conversation or reasoning. Thus, they will go off on tangents and irrelevancies, apparently in the blithe delusion that they understand what others are talking about.) And, frankly, they don't hear all the words, either. They can pay attention only to stuff that has them in it.

This is not merely a bad habit -- it's a cognitive deficiency. Narcissists pay attention only to themselves and stuff that affects them personally.

However, since they don't know what other people are doing, narcissists can't judge what will affect them personally and seem never to learn that when they cause trouble they will get trouble back.

Just thought that was quite interesting...can't think why!

whoops sorry, that extract should have been referenced ...as here

!!!!! words fail me!

Gettingagrip, you have WAY too much free time.

my x was a narcissist. that description fits like a glove. He was controlling and abusive but this is the why!

What makes a man become a narcissist? I hope it's not genetic... My x's Dad is a totally mad bully who plays people off against eachother too.....

I hope the cycle is broken with my son.

hey ladies
this was meant to be an amusing thread
im so enjoying hearing about these jokers
on dating sites
keep them coming lol!

yes so back to those funny stories then
and yes i know i'll be shouted at...
but niceguy2 actually is a nice guy

i got messaged on a dating site once by a bloke who wanted to come to my house and serve me and all my female friends for the night whilst being totally naked

Lol Lou

But asbm even if he's nice he thinks we are all anti men and burn our bras and all that. Which is really silly and annoying.

Oh well...

was this him?

Yeah, give ng2 a break. He's minor league. One patro comment does not a wanker make. (yeats???)

There are some bona fide twankers out there. So save your breath to cool their porridge!!

A thought just struck me, imagine if some poor mumsnetter had the hideous bad luck to go on a date with my x. And the SCARY thing is, on the strength of his photo you'd think, oh, he is good looking and normal!

No I don't think you are all anti men but there are a few here who have real issues.
