Plenty of Fish, yes, but where are the men? Dating chat thread #4

[lubeybooby]

A new one (again)

Dating, internet dating, all kinds of dating.... chat about it here.

Off you go! :o

welcome onboard the weightloss train PoppaRob You will be looking a different man by Christmas!

oooh like you ladies, I'm a 12/14, want to be a 12...the only downside is my boobs shrink and I quite like having boobs lol..not sure if losing 7/10lbs is worth sacrificing the boobs?

Marking my spot so I can find you when I get back.

Not heard much from Geordie but am hoping it's because I'm away and calls cost a fortune, preparing for a disappointment though

Wine for me tonight, not at work for a few days. I've had a terrible cold which started on Monday night so have been drinking hot lemon with my red wine.

Will be starting to work full-time in a couple of weeks so need this rest.

That's a lot of fruit adamschic, grapes and lemon, that's two of your five a day

I said exactly the same up thread about the loss of boobage Charlotte would like to keep those whilst losing the extra padding.

MsCellophane I would imagine being away is the reason you haven't heard from Geordie so much. That's what we will stick with until we hear different

Thats a good plan papa smurf, you can learn something ;) hahaha!

Having a fun night. More so because S is shit at the wii and I am amazing. Shame.

Just found an interesting article at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness#Female_physical_attractiveness

I seem to follow the norms that the article describes except I do have a bit of a thing for tallish (over 5'7"; 5'10" and I'm besotted!) women although my three ex wives were all in the 5' - 5'6" range.

And time, here's an idea for you on this MN thread: "I bought a variety pack of condoms and just produced them at start of evening asking if he had preference (colour, flavour blah blah) he was surprised and pleased and went on to have lovely few days together before it started to get weird and intense."

Who is on dates tonight?!

Not me

Errr.. Time is and Wriggly tonight and Zany on Sunday

I have a date with the VNM who has three teenagers sleeping over at his tonight. Then he has to drop them off at 0530 before getting breakfast and bringing it to my house for an early shag start. We are having our first day time date in three months! I think a cycle ride and lunch out then some afternoon delight tea before he has to pick up the boys again.

Littlehouse that sounds brill :o

Just logged on the dating sites, Vanisher still hasn't been online, nothing from the possible ex boss either but he has virtually been online all day and night. Nothing from anyone else.

I know. So weird. It surely must be a phone credit thing and he not have broadband seeing as he hasn't been online since. In which case if he is that hard up then should he even be dating anyway? If he can't at least go dutch on the meal we were gonna have. Or maybe he dropped dead all of a sudden

Morning folks

PoppaRob I couldn't possibly do the condom thing, I just couldn't. Not tonight anyway, I've not even met him yet! Although I have changed my bedding, just in case

littlehouse that sounds great, am pleased things are progressing nicely for you.

lubey what time is your hair appointment? Are you going for the sweeping fringe, yes? And yes, it is weird that the guy ended the call so abruptly. I think the fact he hasn't been back online does indicate he ran out of credit. Or dropped dead.

Date tonight. Not sure how I feel this morning but I'm sure I will be feeling something later on. As in nerves!

good morning lovely ladies (and poppa!)

I'm in on the lose a stone for xmas thing. definitely. I'm lo-carbing and hitting the gym at the moment. No idea how much I have lost so far as I hate to weigh myself, but clothes are looser and I just feel better! now, if I coould just knock the on the head! losing a little weight does just make you feel better (especially well-done hatesponge thats awesome. you must feel such a difference!) and when you feel better about yourself I think you are automatically more attractive.

joined guardian SM. feel dirty, like paying for a prostitute. am limiting myself to a month only, so I will say yes to all dates and recklessly proposition blokes to get my ££s worth (!)

Zany and lubey, if you're looking for song ideas how about Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now"? My dating theme song has always been Jackson Brown'es "Rosie".

time, I know it's not something you'd do, but you have to agree it cuts through the bullshit. Good move on the bedding. Stale drool is NOT sexy, besides, they say you should wash your bedding every six months, whether it needs it or not.

Time- i LOVE that you have changed your bedding ' just in case' lol :) that is wonderful. So - what are you wearing, and what are you doing?

Lubey - yes to the fringe. it hides wrinkes and makes for a nice face shape :) Weird that he has disappeared, but then nothing surprises me with internet dating anymore

hope you are having fun stay :)

I think ive changed my mind about AD again, and might just go because it will be fun. He texted late last night and blamed the iphone update thingy ( which is likely) but its still two weeks away, so i dont have to make up my mind just yet.

And ive another date with S in just under two weeks. Drinks in a pub.

And i accidentally gave my number to a few others... and i cant remember who they are. So, erm, yeah.

I have this evening and sat to myself and im not planning on seeing mr epic sex. but then i wasnt planning last weeks either, it was a spur of the momment type thing ( which is how i like stuff really.. way more exciting)

Nice that so many of us want to lose a bit of weight as well. BUT, i really dont think it matters so much to men as we think. i really dont. I think so long as you are confident, ( or at least appear so) and love yourself ( or appear to) then they really dont give two shits.

Poppa I do not have stale drool! My drool is very fresh I will have you know! I can't believe I have changed my bedding in anticipation of somethingbecause I'm not sure I could do something after just meeting him BUT, I refuse to analyse it, over think it or any other it. I am just going to go with it and see where it takes me.

Snape I haven't weighed myself either. I daren't yet. I'm low carbing too with lots' of walking thrown in. As for GS, I think I would feel more dirty if I paid for a site like POF. GS sounds kinda posh and classy, not seedy. But I agree, get as many dates out of it as you can!

I love Lady Antebellum Poppa, my favourite at the moment being Ready To Love Again.

Watch whats the story with AD again, remind me.

I gave my number out to Madmax and so he was texting last night and am hopefully seeing him on Tuesday.

I definately want to lose weight over the next couple of months, mainly so that I will feel more confident

Watch I have thoroughly cleaned hallway, stairs and my bedroom too so I'm definitely thinking positive I feel dead norty! I'm wearing leggings, boots, and a dress. And nice underwear, just in case. I'm not promising a shag update but I guess it's better to be prepared. Especially as I'm drinking wine!

As for the weight, I am definitely not wanting to lose it for a man. It's for all the clothes I have hanging in my wardrobe, and I'm talking loads, that I can't get into. I have to get back into them!!

I've been eating like a horse this week, this date hasn't stopped me stuffing my face and I feel really good about that because I have had ishoos regarding food/weight/my body/my looks due to The Ex. Actually, I am delighted to say I do love myself, just as I am, I feel sexier and more attractive than I ever did when I was with him and it feels great

But I do want to wear all my size 12 clothes again

I can only speak for myself, but I think you're right watch. You see the pics and either like what you see or not, then you meet and it confirms that the pics are 5 years old and you either like what you're seeing or not. A clothing size or two either way doesn't make all that much difference.

I know we worry about how we come across in the pics we use for dating profiles, but I have to say that those of you who are on my FB friends list all have some really nice photos that show very sociable people who can dress up or dress casual / daggy and generally still look like people I'd want to hang out with in real life. I know if I look at a profile that shows a woman dressed to the nines and the profile says she likes wining and dining and the finer things in life I move on to the next one. The ones with jeans and jumper out camping or at a bbq are the ones that get me interested.

Maybe you will be drooling over your daye tonight Time

How about we all post a new updated photo of ourselves on Christmas Eve, when we have lost our weight and are feeling fabulous!! All ready for the New Year and all the fun it's going to bring us

snape - yay. dpont feel bad. ill pm you on fb the name of a stunning ( and sort of famous by default person) who used it and had no qualms doing so.
If they can, then you can, and of course, say yes to anything ( decent) and ask as many men as you can to make the most of it, and most of all, have fun doing so :)

time - im so excited for you. Just see where the evening takes you. Just stay safe, and dont do anything you dont want to do. But if you do want to do something, then dont over think, just do it. life is too short.

zany - he lives nearly 2 hours away, i thought it was a 40 min train ride, but he actually lives further out than that. He does seem really nice, in a flightly, ' im a traveller' type person. Smart, clever, likes cheese and rum and nosing in old book shops. BUT, hes off travelling again shortly, and being realistic, im just not going to see him all that often ( should i want to) so, i sort of feel like whats the point really. But then i know it will be a fun day out. So... i dont know? what you doing with mr body sunday? and im pleased you have someother dates lined up too :)
