where have all the fit,interesting and available men gone PT20

[Betty79]

Has no one beat me to it with a new thread yet?

no no
but you did say a lot of the women you had contacted were the fb kind and you wanted something a bit more
solvent on a dating site would say to me 'I can buy you' which is offputting
these were the things that made me wonder if they weren't helping you find what you wanted

Yeah fair enough - I've just edited it (I just deleted solvent, I'm lazy). Am looking for a better photo. One thing my fem friend who's on match said about the blokes is that there is always photos of them with a car/expensive guitar/50 inch Plasma telly or other penis extension, is this true?

Who's off Ninah - am completely confused now - though admittedly these days it doesn't take that much to confuse me ...

And 23-year-old says he's looking for a woman aged 18 to 26 - well, wtf are you doing winking at an old bat like me then? He's obviously more confused than me ... that or he has trouble reading numbers.

dad2-now u did ask the ladies to be honest lol!

kdk - when you say adult literacy do you mean college ages? i'm thinking of an english degree to teach 11-16 year olds - is that a similar thing to what you've been doing at all?

sm1 - sorry to hear that about older bloke. men are idiots.

going on from what juicy said as well re mr/mrs right..

is there never an option of I don't want to be miss right, or miss right now, and would be lying to claim to want either. but can you not jsut plod along and bimble without actively thinking I MUST marry this person tomorrow cos they are the one? surely we al thought the partner we had kids with was the 'one' at one point?! hmm..

(added a pic of the wedding btw) off to read more again...

tis nice betty! lol.

kdk - well maybe he likes the older lady?

re the pic of blokes - I get off put but ones that have the following:

animals, cars, topless, semi clad. motorbikes. I like the ones who have a nice smile well dressed and nicely presented. (can't ya tell i'm a mother! lol)

I had an image of the thread sprinting after dad2c, kdk
Yes she is right dad2c
or it could be a really big fish

dad2, you do see photos of guys with penile-extension type cars - or at least near penile-extension cars - you also see guys with their tops off (bleugh usually), lying on their backs with their hands down their crotch (double bleugh and vomit) and holding fish (wtf!!!) ... just because other people do it, doesn't mean you have to!

dad2c - any more winks??!! ;)

Yes, a big fish, why didn't I think of that? It's an essential part of foreplay, a 3 foot long halibut

it's probably because you are a townee
the worst thing I ever ever saw on there was a guy who looked about a hundred boasting of 'no verandah over the toyshop'
it gave me nightmares

SingleMum01 - you wouldn't be Staffs by any chance??

ha ha any chance you've been sending some winks sm01!

I agree the pics of cars, tops of, lying on a bed with top off (yak) cant say ive seen any of big fish tho.....yet!

x-post with ninah re fish/cars/beds etc - tacksville.

and belle, think 11-16 would come under secondary ed. A friend of mine did the pgce in secondary ed specialising in English lang/lit. She's now working full-time in a sixth-form college - enjoys the teaching but finds the marking/bureaucracy a nightmare. Think these days you need to be qualified to teach eg need a teaching qualification as well as an initial degree if that makes sense? Have you looked at the tda webside - there are quite a few golden hellos/bursaries available. Where are you thinking of studying?

The worst thing women do in dating profiles is make references to either Bridget Jones, anything on daytime TV, or have photos of themselves in their wedding dresses. You'd be amazed how many of those there are

wedding dresses??? really!

OMG - Dad2 am I one of those???!!! And yes I'm in Staffs lol!

noooo - in their wedding dresses?!

Well, I'd have grown a beard by the time Kdk sent me that profile .

Anyway, I've been in DD now.

Dad2 - it's really strange, I don't know whether the others would agree, but your main picture is NOT the one I would have used, I would have used any of the others first. Strange isn't it how we see ourselves.

Ninah - you're talking lots of sense there.

catch corrie the other night sm1?

Yeah there's loads with wedding pics. I mean, even if you ignore the wrongness of it, there's the fact that it's hardly going to be a recent photo is it? Unless they're looking for someone to help spice up the honeymoon?

Wedding Dresses??

honest you're getting us going on that front?

I had a chap email me on smooch who was 43 gummy and had a HUGE fish saying hi you look nice can we chat - I v v nearly wrote back erm.... HELLO! btu thought that was mean so didn't.

kdk - will be here in portsmouth, it's either english or maths. the 3 years for the degree then the PGCE btu I deffo want to do 11-16 y/o's.

God how fast does this thread move?

lou - make sure to rest up.

Dad2, sure you'll be sorted in no time, hope you enjoy getting there meanwhile.

Can I ask, re wedding dresses....why on earth...?

And may I just mentioned how fecking much I hate the word cougar. It just icks me out.

As for holding fish. Again, why..?

People are strange....

maybe they are NEW wedding dresses? how v v bizarre
