real life challenges vs online misadventures, dating (and non-dating) thread 19

I have been to the pub. I'm not pissed but I am happy (well happier at least).

Conclusions reached this evening:

  1. I am pretty bloody amazing, and any man I choose to date is very very lucky and should appreciate this fact!
  2. Online dating is not for me. But I have learned from it that I shouldnt judge a book by it's cover and not to be so superficial
  3. Man from the weekend DID like me, he is either still in love with his wife, or still hurt by her and lacking in confidence, there is NOTHING I did wrong, and he probably will be back at some point, but it will be too late because I will have MOVED ON :)
  4. I am joining the gym and losing my remaining 3 stone.
  5. I am going back to my old haunts in Essex this weekend because I have the best nights out there and feel at home. I intend to drink, dance, look fabulous and talk to anyone and everyone!

So that's my resolutions for the thread in essence, less moaning, more exercise, to have fun and be sociable to everyone, less aloof unavailable ice queen and more friendly and approachable.

lubey - do you really read up on cosmic ordering? Or did you just write your list? I have thought about doing it before but I get scared as I'm not sure exactly of what I want and heard you have to be specific?

Lueji · 21/08/2012 15:01

It seems that cosmic ordering can be quite pricey. www.cosmic-order.com/Orgone_Wands.html
Ouch!
I knew copper was expensive these days, just not that much. Wink

I think it's rather funny and reads like a spoof, but who knows?

Also entertaining www.howtofindthemanofyourdreams.com/?hop=vitalmsgs but a good point about a good match not necessarily being the person who excites us on a first date. (as proven by ex)

Movingforward123 · 21/08/2012 15:03

time - it's quite depressing to think it shrinks and goes into hibernation!! Sad is that from personal experience of one guy or a few? And if you don't mind me asking what age does all this shrinking start Confused

lubeybooby · 21/08/2012 15:55

Fate, I'm not giving the cosmos the credit at all apart from in a pisstake kinda way Wink

I think there's something in the theory of focusing on what you want and giving out the right vibes to attract it.

Cosmic ordering is just a good way to get you to focus... that's what i reckon anyway

Movingforward there was a poster i was talking to last year who did the same thing and found exactly what she wanted. She had a 72 point list and left it on the windowsill :o

I just did what she did really. The act of writing the list was pretty good for the whole focusing thing too - being very specific and all that.

I'm glad you all liked my fourth date as much as I did :o it was sooooo good and we have had many a similar night since.

TimeForMeAndDD · 21/08/2012 16:28

Tis fact am afraid Moving men.webmd.com/guide/life-cycle-of-a-penis The willy gets smaller and the balls hang lower Wink

A top tip is to make sure he stays skinny slim and athletic, then there will be no fat pad in the pubic area eating up what is rightfully yours.

Lueji · 21/08/2012 16:32

And exercise a lot to reduce those fat deposits in the arteries? Wink

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 16:37

quantum physics indicates that consciousness causes matter to collapse from wave to particle..which is another way of saying that consciousness creates reality

I like to think there is room in the theory for cosmic ordering Wink

TimeForMeAndDD · 21/08/2012 16:37

Unless he has huge assets, fantastic life insurance and you hate his guts. In that case sod the fad pad and the exercise and feed him til he bursts!

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 16:47

so if your 'target' is the older man and you want a good sex life the message is look for one who's taken care of his cardio vascular health
ie avoid the unfit, the overweight, the drinkers & the smokers

Hmm not many of them about!

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 16:48

ah yeah, if it's a sugar daddy you want, well that puts an entirely different spin on it:o

TimeForMeAndDD · 21/08/2012 16:58

Exactly that *mercury^, and indeed, not many of them about. It's rather depressing.

MyLittleMiracles · 21/08/2012 16:58

I dont want a sugar daddy, I need someone who can keep up with my sexual needs me.

I might have to do me a list.

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 17:15

I seem to see more attractive men of my age (mid 40's) in real life than I do on dating sites...that may well be because dating site profile pics dont convey a persons attractiveness very well?

Lueji · 21/08/2012 17:47

I agree, mercury. Pictures are terrible.

I have recently taken a peek at the book Mr Kippling kept on his bed side table, which happened to be on a table showing differences between men and women.
It claimed that women hit their sexual peak at 40, which I pointed out to him. :o

For men, however, it was in their 20s. :(
The natural consequences are...

TimeForMeAndDD · 21/08/2012 17:51

I don't see many attractive men of my age either on dating sites or in real life. They are few and far between.

questions2008 · 21/08/2012 17:53

Rubbish, I texted my date from last week this monring about meeting up on thurs (because I'm away for the wkend) and I've had nothing back...I don't get it, why be interested and then not follow it up? Why?? It's just annoying! Maybe an answer to that should go on my wishlist...

NicholasTeakozy · 21/08/2012 17:57

Time, are you saying my todger is going to shrink? Shock Oh no Sad

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 18:00

apparently so!
but dont worry your nose and ears will grow so there is no net tissue loss

mother nature is so kind Hmm

TimeForMeAndDD · 21/08/2012 18:51

Grin @ Mercury!

Yes Nicholas your todger is going to shrink and your balls are going to hang low. You will have to start wearing knee high socks so you can tuck them in.

ChaoticismyLife · 21/08/2012 20:12

What a depressing thought Hmm There is a lot to be said for the younger man Grin

Cherubim · 21/08/2012 21:11

Anyone that calls it their 'todger' deserves it to shrink, frankly Hmm

Movingforward123 · 21/08/2012 22:11

ok, so next door neighbour has replied with:

yeah am sound babes, haha yeah i went to sky light is it?? by (local area) on sat it was gud u will hav to show me a gud nite out some time wnt ye haha, ay am doing your job an feedin the rabbit!! lol my brother, wife an the kids hav gone away! haha x

well i know most of you will think way too much text speak, but I'm more concerened with all the haha's. So what do I reply And when?? as this time it has taken him two days to reply Confused but i'm guessing he is interested from this message... lol

Movingforward123 · 21/08/2012 22:17

What I am thinking of replying is:

Oh I've never heard of it.. Well you will have to let me know when you are free, as I probably will have to show you where is good to go, as right now you seem to be going to the worst places... lol!

I'm sure your doing a better job of it then me, as last time I was looking after the rabbit it escaped... lol!! And don't believe what (your sister inlaw says) I did feed the rabbit!!! And even had little chats with it. ;)

So how long are they away for? x

Movingforward123 · 21/08/2012 22:18

also might add on the bottom:

Hmm I'm getting the vibe that your not on facebook alot?

or something along those lines??

tell me what you think beofre I mess it up... ekkk

mercury7 · 21/08/2012 22:20

it's very hard to get past the text speak...I'd be tempted to reply using long and obscure words, correctly spelled, with perfectly constructed and overly long sentences.

But that would be mean!

well he wants you to show him a 'gud nite out' so I guess thats a green light? :)

Is 'feedin the rabbit' a euphemism for some sort of sex game involving a certain style of 'personal massager' ? :o
