this thread is brilliant, having recently removed myself from regular dating sites, i got onto a much more ,ahem, direct one. In 2 weeks I have met ,yes actually met,an architect ,a doctor,a lawyer, in short all the men my mum wanted me to marry.They are out there,looking for partners.Yes I have to sift thru the dross, for example I decided mr redhotknob was probably not for me,and one man I had dated once from another site ,presents himself on this site as a super sexy lover, he was a wanker . And fat .Anyway it is good to see it is not just me who gets sucked in to all this chat with (some very)strange men !
