"As you can imagine, I was almost too overwhelmed too write back, but did suggesting he might like to meet my mother ...."

Mmm, maybe you should have...

Are there any women who actually respond to this crap? I can't help but think there must be as otherwise they wouldn't do it..surely?

I wrote to him saying that - he's now written back saying 'thanks for the message which was disagreeable if mildly amusing' - have now written back to him saying that surely it's no more disagreeable than getting messages from guys who are 20 years older than myself!

Janos · 30/06/2010 21:07

Sounds like a match made in heaven kdk....

Tell him you are not into tombraiding, and you find other ways to do your bit for help the aged

kdk · 30/06/2010 21:34

kdk · 30/06/2010 22:27

have a look for yourself www.datingforparents.com/member.profile.php?oid=88359263 - imvho - absolutely coffin-dodging but am willing to accept that someone may find him deeply appealing!

ninah · 30/06/2010 22:45

FairyLightsForever · 01/07/2010 00:22

Just popping in on my way to bed...

Yes Janos, I'm pretty certain, is he
clever[name][3digit number] ?

Your discription gave the same Nationality and job, there surely can't be 2 of them?!

kdk · 01/07/2010 08:15

@ ninah - if you go to datingforparents and do a username search for FRED10111950 you will find the man of your dreams old codger!

What is it about men who want a woman 20 years younger??? i get loads of interest from men in their 60's, but I'm 46 with 2 children. Why would I want to date a 60 year old who will be 70 by the time my kids leave home??? Whay would I really want to go straight from looking after children to looking after OAP's

aseriouslyblondemoment · 01/07/2010 11:17

they're just sadly deluded that's all

sincitylover · 01/07/2010 11:21

my exh is with a woman twenty years younger.

Each time he moves to a younger woman.

Agree Elasta I want about my age or younger.

exh was the only time I went older.

Gave exh a right mouthful last night - in a nutshell he has let down ds1 again. Told him he doesn't give our dcs priority!!

This was out of the earshot of ds1 bw.

Later ds1 called him a hypocrite. exh was calling him selfish and ungrateful - it was amost unpleasant scene.

Janos · 01/07/2010 11:49

FLF that's him all right. Lucky escape for sure..

aseriouslyblondemoment · 01/07/2010 11:54

OMFG
imho i think that he needs to be reported to the site

FairyLightsForever · 01/07/2010 12:03

The stuff he writes/ publishes is BDSM, I googled his user name out of curiosity and found more than I was bargaining for

Janos · 01/07/2010 12:25

Jesus..lucky escape is am understatement!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 01/07/2010 12:29

what's he doing on a normal dating site then?
why not use a bdsm one?
flf without wishing to resurrect bad memories did he seem ok-ish on the few dates that you had with him?
i take it that you googled him recently?

Remotew · 01/07/2010 12:35

Gosh someone in common. This has happened once on here but neither of us actually met him. Are you both from the same area or is this guy hedging his bets all over the country. Did either of you meet him?

Janos · 01/07/2010 12:45

Yes eve I met him on Sunday. And flf dated him earlier in the year. Same area I think.

lou33 · 01/07/2010 12:50

You should both turn up for a joint date without his knowledge and take a pic of his face

FairyLightsForever · 01/07/2010 12:57

Yes, seemed like a really nice guy,we had 3 or 4 dates and then had Xmas so couldn't see each other and so IM'd a lot.

It became apparrent that he had serious mother issues (very angry and bitter towards her) and abandonment issues stemming from that (ooh get me with psychology 101 ). He didn't like the fact that spending time with my kids was more important that seeing him at times and would try to guilt trip me by going on about how I was such a good Mum and that his Mum had never put him first [violins] Needless to say, that was when I ran!

He'd been married for over 10yrs, he said that his wife hadn't wanted kids with him and then had left him for someone else and got pregnant quite quickly. He thinks he wants kids, but I don't think he'd be able to handle not being top priority.

He's quite nerdy and I get the impression that he was a late developer as far as girls and dating, so I think he may be out of his depth on a BDSM dating site.

There was a lot that was really nice about him, but anyone who hasn't dealt with their ishoos by mid 40's is never going to!

FairyLightsForever · 01/07/2010 13:00

lou!
I think he met us both at the same place too- sunday afternoon and a seat near the piano looking out over the water?!

we're both in the same city, eve.

Janos · 01/07/2010 13:18

ROFL..yep it was the same place!
