as Lou 33 said if she knew the answer then she wouldn't be on MN

lou33 · 31/01/2009 17:24

lou33 · 31/01/2009 17:33

Hehe!
of course i was lol!
but you can understand where i'm coming from?
maybe i'm just too weird and wacky?
i just like witty men who challenge me mentally and keep me on my toes!
i thrive on banter!
it was instantaneous with one man i went out with,god why did i let him slip thru my fingers?

i know!
you are far too discerning for that
and like me frankly too sick and tired
for all that bull
you laugh it off for a while
then it just grates
and then its just downright wrong and insulting
man i was just chatting to has gone to the gym
hes told me that he will only be a couple of hours
think hes confusing me with someone who cares/gives a fcuk
does he honestly think that i've nothing better to do but sit by my pc waiting for him to IM me?

OP posts:
elmoandella · 31/01/2009 18:08

aseriouslyblondemoment · 31/01/2009 18:46

errm, you are talking about MSN and half naked blokes on hidden pictures (or something). I don't know of any photo's of me on line and if there are any, I am dead sure that I am not half naked...and I am not into half naked blokes - yuk!!

I do have MSN but I hardly use it, I use skype more because my mobile phone has skype on it.

N1 · 31/01/2009 18:51

as for talking about sex. I do that but if it's anything to do with cyber sex count me out.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 31/01/2009 18:55

oh lord no!
if theres one thing well another thing that i find very offputting its the type of men who have topless shots on sites
or are pictured in their footie shirts
i use MSN alot
as i dont want to be seen lurking around a dating site all night

OP posts:
elmoandella · 31/01/2009 18:58

eeeeeeurw at topless men on profile. absolutely no chance i'll reply to you if you are showing naked tophalf. unless it's a holiday shot. then it is allowed. but you must be sporting the british blue skinned look , not bronzed and flexing muscles

hello n1 wondered where you'd gone off to ask we summoned lone dads.

N1 · 31/01/2009 19:01

I don't think I have a footie t-shirt. I have plenty of t-shirts though.

My MSN is usually on but I am often not at my PC. I do try to answer left messages is any are left, though I can imagine that way of communication to be a bit off putting if there is any attempt to kindle the start of a relationship.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 31/01/2009 19:02

what other pics do you find unacceptable Elmo
and are you like me and snigger at those who call themselves intellectual?
and then you look thru the profile and it's full of those spelling mistakes!
and yes N1's POV appreciated
Niceguy2 is off out on a hot date me thinks!

OP posts:
N1 · 31/01/2009 19:04

lol. Sometimes it better to stand and watch for a bit and then join in again.

I noticed a few failed (or passed on) dates. Not good to hear unhelpful news, though a person still learns something from the unhelpful experience.
