Onwards and upwards we go, still sniggering at the sausage seeing the roll Dating thread 26

[lubeybooby]

New one!

All dating related gumph here.

yoga I never got any cock pictures either.. don't be offended. maybe we're better off .. after looking at the fb group of limited options ..
and I didn't realise you could search without joining either. so hmmm I could look and just have a little window shop then ..

I've just had a look at Glasgow area Yoga is right .. Slim pickings indeed ;-(

There were some v nice looking RL men at the kids' sports this morning. Unfortunately only spoke to two of them and one was married and the other is my best friend's ex who is handsome and charming on the surface but actually a fuckmuppet of the highest order! Hard to tell which ones are married when they keep their hands in their pockets. Honestly, what's a girl to do? Sigh...

Kirsty - maybe we should go out man hunting people watching one weekend!

Sounds good Yoga... First free weekend I have is the one just before Christmas if you fancy it? Can see if lovingfreedom can make it too (we've made friends through MN)

yoga - dont worry on missing out on the cock pics, id far rather not have recieved any.

sponge - hope you are ok?

So, having been asked out by two men, one i decided instantly i didnt want to meet and the other one once i gave my number to, fired off so many texts i now dont want to meet either.

Ive been thinking about it this morning and im sure its just not meant to be this hard and im sick to the back teeth of online dating. SO, im going to attempt some rl stuff. Ive got 350 odd new work colleagues, lots of them are men. Im making new friends, one of who runs her own football team. Im going to explore as many of these opportunities as i can. While concentrating on me for a bit. oh - and eat less cheese and carbs.

Another wondering how sponge is here and if any apology from cuthbert arrived

watch good luck with your rl stuff - I can highly recommend it.

I have a stinking hangover today, decided to drown out thoughts of fwb with lots and lots of wine. Bleurgh. I will not waste another moment thinking about him but am determined not to make the same mistakes again - no sex on the first date!

I was supposed to be meeting car boy his evening but I postponed it, he's just not my type. But I've just been asked out by another guy tonight, he's a history teacher and he's really cute so I've said yes. I must not get too excited, there's bound to be something wrong with him!

I need to catch up on the posts, seems like lots has happened in a day!

ha ha yoga your like me .., at both ds's sports club I have a sneaky look at their hands!! I never used to do it! I enjoy taking him to the rugby training especially ;) (nothing to do with the adults team training hike were there sometimes of course)

Worley it's nice you're so interested in the extracurricular activities

Gettingit my wanker radar has got better over time. You will be able to spot some of them as time goes on although there is always the surprise cock.

Just about to do POF again, be interesting to see if I get cock pics as profile is almost the same as the one on OKC. Loins are girded.

Euphemia - he looks lovely & his profile is great..

Euphemia I sent that guy a message a couple of weeks ago, he never replied...hopefully you'll have more luck!

All is ok with Cuthbert, I'm happy with what's been said re the photo. We'll see how it goes on Monday.

The policeman meanwhile has deleted his POF profile...not sure what (if anything) to make of that?

I do also have GSM man to send a message to thanks to MadameO :) Will try and compose something suitably entertaining to wow him with :) And am going to a quiz night next week at my friend's sons (v v good and affluent) school, where she assures me there are several male single parents. So keeping my options open

Watch I think RL may be the way to go for a bit - if someone decent pops up online then great BUT 350 new colleagues! There has to be a decent bloke amongst them...or one with a lovely friend or brother. and it's coming up to party season too

Ha ha yes isn't it nice that Worley and i are such devoted parents?

Sorry Kirsty DCs are with me that weekend.

Watch RL is bound to be better!

Hope we get an update from sponge soon.

I'm off to conjure up a new POF profile. Still can't decide if that makes me feel brave or stupid.

oops x-posts, glad to hear all is well sponge

oops x-posts, glad to hear all is well sponge

Oh man, just searched POF for 35-45 yo women near Glasgow just to see what others have put in their profiles and some of them are as bad as, if not worse than the men!

"I'm bored being single"
"What do you call an intelligent , good looking sensitive man ? A rumor Just kidding LOL"
"lookin to find sumone genuine"

Am I being arrogant to think I'm not going to have to work very hard to come up with something better than that....or is that what men like?

^ What Yoga said Sponge

Yes Yoga it's a wonderful thing. What about swimming? I'm still hoping for an Olympic athlete to turn up at my local pool

I scoped out the competition on POF.

It would appear that I'm one of a kind for my town at least.

"... or is that what men like?"

In all honestly Yoga I don't buy into the view that profiles should be written to please the majority. In my book, there's nothing wrong with a more challenging profile ... you're less likely to get the time-wasters sticking their heads above the parapet. I get few messages - but those people who contact me do so because they like me

Benefit is that you don't have to waste time in screening out the shite, drawback is you miss out on the ego stroke of a full in box. I'm happy to trade one for the other but we each have to make that choice.

sponge am really pleased that Cuthbert did respond and clearly did so in a way that you're content with. Thing is, whilst none of us want to be annoymous wank fodder, if there's no heat with someone once you've met and are dating, that's just awful too. Its a fine but tricky line to tread ...

Hope all goes well with the second date

yoga - nope. its all bullshit. i swear its all about the pic. Ive had long, wordy profiles, that really show me, and general, short ones. ive had vague ones - going with the dvd, snuggling cliche and ones being more casual. essentially, in 4 years ( almost) i have found it makes not a jot of difference.
which i think is why i cant bring myself to do it again.
ive been doing it for that long, i know it doesnt work. Investing more time and effort for the same result would make me stupid. Hence going with something different.

all 350 arent men, but there are some. and maybe a chance to widen a social circle and have a few nights out that arent couple based.

There is a social group in my town, and ive just re looked into that, but it still, the only two men on it are ones ive rejected online dating, and the rest are wormen who seem to be bemoaning the lack of males. Cant see thats worth my effort not getting over the embarassment of......

sponge - glad its sorted out, hope he doesnt over step the mark again.

Euphamia

He's definately good-looking, but knows it and not sure about the look in his one eye.
< warning signs for me)
Good luck though

watch - honestly, RL sounds way better! But its the weekend and I'm bored....

So what's the difference between 'wants to meet me' and favourites? Just different ways of letting someone know they like you without actually having to bother stringing a sentence together? In the ten minutes since I set my profile up I've had 6 messages (haven't read them yet), 7 'wants to meet me' and 1 'favourite'...

Also, what's the difference if you set your profile to public or private?
