Ginny pigs prove the options are of limited quality - Dating thread 28

[lubeybooby]

New one - chit chat all dating stuff here.

Off you go! :o

LOL, yeah maybe need to just take a step down Bantam. I mean, you were right, her profile was totally offensive, but basically you emailed her just have a go at her. So while you're here, can you tell me why men (almost without exception) always want to know what I'm having for my dinner? I figure a)testing me to see if I can cook, b)men just think about food a lot, c)they have limited imaginations and can't think of anything more intersting to say..?

lubey don't know a lot of the history, but sorry to hear things are making you feel a bit on edge. Has he actually said or done anything off, or is it more of a gut feeling that things are a little awry? I would be a bit miffed myself though if someone couldn't make firm plans - being busy is fine, it happens to us all - had to turn down meeting up with the optician tonight cos I had stuff on - but there's no reason not to sort something out for another time, even if it's a week on Tuesday! How far away is he? Hope you get it sorted.

WFF - you ok?

Yogagirl ime it's b). I used to work in an entire office full of men, food was the number one topic from breakfast, through the scoutiing out of lunch through to that evenings meal. Not women, not sport, food.

BantamI think I'll just say sorry he's a bit full on for me:)
I dont usually block people unless they are actively offensive that fella just seems alarmingly keen!!

WFF good luck on your date tomorrow - please tell us how you get on.

WFF sorry cross posted. I am so slow typing on my phone! Don't go back to lurking (unless you really really want to). It's so easy for posts to get overlooked sometimes as things move so fast on here and people dip in and out so might be a good few hours/days behind but will still post a reply albeit a bit late. I do, anyway!

Hope it all goes well tomorrow and make sure you report back with an update!

there ya go, I was nice, I said ' thanks but really I think you're just a bit too much for me!! '

Oh god, three exclamation marks in last post. Somebody just shoot me now.

WFF don't be daft hon mine get overlooked too really often - tis the way things go on a thread like this, it really means nothing honestly. It's just very easy to miss a post when scrolling. Don't lurk! And good luck on your date :o

a bloke who so far seemed quite nice has given me his skype name it's dudeNiceButRude
(I changed it slightly)
I dont think I wanna skype him anymore

mercury you realise he's going to take that the wrong way..

Fuzzy - you don't have to just lurk if you haven't got as much going on. To be honest all of us could kind of use your input on our ridiculous questions. And would be happy to give our ridiculous advice on yours :)

Yoga yeah, I know I mailed her to have a go, but I did it nicely, honest. It was just such a lot of hate filled drivel - but then turned into - 'so I like rabbits and kittens and curling up on the sofa' - I wasn't sure if it was a windup at first but then realised she meant it seriously. So I ended the mail by saying that it puts people off, take that stuff about bald short guys out - they don't need insulting, just ignore them if you don't want to date them. I seem to have picked up a habit of critiquing profiles from somewhere...

Bant. I can assure you there are soooo many offensive blokes out there here's an example ' I dont want any orange oompa luumpas, swinging monkeys or nagging hens'.....this from a reasonably good looking guy.... I simply had to e-mail him with....' Try to entertain me........yawn...'

WFF don't feel everyone else has loads going on and you don't. People tend to post a lot more when things are going on so it seems like anyone else is billy no dates.

I otoh am Billimena no dates. My near genital portrait experience (see? I can't even get a proper cock pic) is the most lively thing to happen to me all week.

Yogagirl, I find I talk about food a lot with platonic males at work, etc. And it makes me laugh if anyone is on the phone to their partners, you can pretty much guarantee they will say at some point 'Have you had dinner? What did you have?'. Thrilling conversations indeed.

Second date for me tomorrow, but with a guy I was seeing, then FWB with a couple of years ago. He has had a serious relationship and a baby (very early on in the relationship), split up with her in July. Nice guy, not sure if there's still a spark there yet, but I remember who well matched we were in bed so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt!

Ha ha, ok then so they just like to talk about food. That's ok.

As a male lurker I have to ask: what is the form with these cock pics of which you speak? Is the organ typically couchant or rampant, iyswim? And is it usual to include a pound coin, or similar, to indicate scale?

Ha ha, ok then so they just like to talk about food. That's ok.

You just never know, the guys who make comments about food to their other halves may be going home to re-enact the fridge scene from '9 1/2 Weeks'

I've never been asked about food...I feel I've missed out! Talking about my dinner would definitely be preferable to some of the questionable photos I tend to receive reminds self why leaving POF profile hidden is a good idea

There are lots of rude profiles out there - male and female, I had (mistakenly) assumed the worst offenders would be on free sites but perhaps not? I do remember seeing a few horrors on POF, mainly from men who were not exactly displaying a model physique themselves referring to 'no porkers/fat bloaters, nothing over a size 12' , or stuff of that sort. I think it's fine to say you prefer a woman with a certain figure but no need to be rude about it. Similarly things like smoking - I don't smoke, never have, but I'm always a bit at people who put these lengthy anti-smoking diatribes in their profiles...why?!

WFF please stay, we need to hear about your date :) Those of us who have given the whole dating thing up for the foreseeable have to live vicariously through others!

now I'm at it with the !!! too...

antonym am at couchant or rampant.

IME, usually the latter. Sometimes it's a little shy, just nudging over the top of boxers, or through a fly I kid you not. Others like to send a series, at various states of arousal. If you're really unlucky, you get a video (yes, why did I open that, I still don't know...)

Does anyone else have OD lurkers, you know the ones who visit at least once a day, never ever score or contact you? are these the lookers, one step down the evolutionary scale from the no meeters?

I am going to see if I can get a good food conversation going tomorrow - how long should I aim for bearing in mind I also intend to fit drinking and shagging into a three and a half hour "date"?

Yep they all talk about food! I get texts from Mr Ex Army saying "what's for dinner?" as in, what are you having for dinner tonight .... I thought at first he was angling for an invite, or playing "house" with me.

Unfortunately the reality was normally a kitkat chunky, a pot noodle or a ham sandwich, so had to invent some pretty exotic sounding meals and hoped the kids wouldn't give me away at a later date!!!

OWW, multi-tasking women should be able to chat, drink and shag simultaneously.

Florentine just be careful of choking

I had a sloppy guiseppe pizza for dinner tonight. Just so you know
