Mmm, that's interesting lubey. I wonder if when you hit your 40's you will consider all those qualities to be dull? Grin

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 16:50

Interesting...I've just been looking at those who've looked at me on Smooch to find one man has looked at me under two different usernames Hmm

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 16:52

Arrange to meet them 'both' Chaotic throw him into turmoil Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 16:53

I wonder if he has contacted you before, on a different site, under one of the names so has created another one to see if he has more success with you this time.

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 16:58

Grin tempting, very tempting.

One is online the other has logged in in the last 30 days. I've noticed because the two profiles are next to each other, otherwise I may not have thought anything about it.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 17:00

Ooh, I wouldn't be able to resist! Grin You could have some real fun with that! In the name of research of course!

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 17:08

"i'm looking a good&sweeat girl for making longterm relation if any good girl wants to do this she can sea my profile"

That's what he's looking for...not entirely sure I fit Grin

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 17:09

Time I dunno... I do doubt it. I don't think those qualities go hand in hand with dull... it's possible to be mature and respectful and still have a laugh and fucking amazing sex with quality AND quantity says me with the ex who was 57. Ok so that was REALLY pushing it a bit even for me but he was someone I met in RL and we just clicked so much and it all happened very naturally. He was more fun and full of enthusiasm and life than anyone I've ever known! And he reallllly didn't look his age :o

Awh Chaotic I think he needs help with his spelling Grin

Lubey I would say you have been very lucky! You lucky, lucky girl!! Grin Are you not still in touch with him?

NellyNoKnicks · 02/10/2011 17:36

Well, I've managed to attract someone on OKC who has a thing for women that can burp loudly.... sadly not one of the talents I've spent a lot of time perfecting and after un-hiding my POF profile, not even a sniff of interest

Thanks for all the welcomes though, this maybe a long, drawn-out affair Grin

joblot · 02/10/2011 17:39

ive signed up to smooch and pof. after reading the stuff on this thread. i really should have had a good look first. it's slim pickings for lesbians. thats code for shit.

straight women arent much better off but you have sheer numbers on your side

im finding it very hard not to raise my lip/suck my teeth at some of the spelling and lack of imagination.

everyone ive read lists BO as a top turn off. i mean honestly who the fuck would list it as a turn on? really?

i'll stop before i get too insulting. maybe im too picky

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 17:42

It's not to be, time :( unfortunately. The break up wasn't my doing. It was the really awful one from this year - dunno if you can search my threads but a few in may tell the story

OP posts:
TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 17:43

NellyNoKnicks if that is your username on Cupid and POF you won't be short of dates Grin

joblot I got quite a few lesbians after me on POF. I had some really nice conversations Grin

As for BO being a turn on, you might want to ask our Shiny about that Wink

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 17:43

Awh, I'm sorry lubey I will have a look and a read later x

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 17:51

"straight women arent much better off but you have sheer numbers on your side"

Unfortunately quantity doesn't automatically mean quality.

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 17:54

It's ok. I'm doing pretty good now, totally amazed and very proud of myself because I never thought I would move on this well. Something has just clicked into place the last month or so and I'm genuinely happy (most of the time anyway) but I'll always miss the very very many good things about him. He was 56.5 of the requirements on my 59 point list! :o

OP posts:
TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 17:56

I need to know what happened now lubey so will be doing a search this evening Smile So close but yet so far, eh? Sad..

joblot · 02/10/2011 17:57

yes chaotic, i see. ive just scanned the men- woah! but in between the obvious dickheads there are some attractive men. i havent seen any women i think i could get on with

whats the best way to look? most recently on?

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 18:00

Yep unfortunately it was just one tiny one of the missing requirements that killed us off... namely if they have an ex that they are no longer emotionally close to them.

OP posts:
ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 18:25

Oh, ffs, do some of them never give up Hmm

I've just been messaged by someone who's contacted me twice in the past. I didn't reply the previous two times what makes him think I'm going to now?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 18:27

joblot I usually just do a search filling in the criteria I have, eg min height, and take it from there.

BlobChob · 02/10/2011 19:09

Bloody 'ell I can't keep up with you lot! Smile Chaotic we have a very similar username on OKC (when spoken anyway) you'll see me in your visitor list probs. I've just joined and it's not lookin' hopeful but hey, cup half full and all that...gotta hang onto hope right! Confused Who else can I snoop at? PoppaRob I reckon...muhahaha! Lovin' this thread...even though I've been sat in the corner all quiet!

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 19:22

Just taken a look at your profile BlobChob :)

I know what you mean about not looking hopeful but, for the cup half full bit, there only needs to be one right man. Come out of that corner and let us know the ups, downs, the idiots, the possibles etc etc Grin

MsCellophane · 02/10/2011 19:27

Well, I had my first telephone convo with my date, all been online up to now

He has the thickest geordie accent I have ever heard! Quite tricky to have a conversation with as I had to get him to slow down and repeat almost every other word - I love an accent (london bird) so I am hoping face to face it will be easier to understand by lipreading a bit. He has been down south for 20 years and says his family think he has lost the accent Shock God, knows what he sounds like when he goes home

so far so good though, he made me laugh so that was a bonus

I don't have many date disasters to write about (thankfully), I did have one that upon greeting said 'I thought your tits would be bigger' Shock I didn't stay, left him by saying Sorry, but I thought you wouldn't be such a dickhead Grin

NellyNoKnicks · 02/10/2011 20:22

Time, strangely it isn't, I'd probably attract the wrong type of man if I did, and a burping fetish would be the least of my worries!
