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

New one - chit chat all dating stuff here.

Off you go! :o

:( I've got the gym on mine (I love the gym)

Oh yes, the "going to the gym" line. I go to the gym for the sauna and swimming pool but run? Hell no.

Other words to veto

"Nice"
"Lovely"

Everyone's going to say they're a nice person!

And I bloody love quizzes. It's that useless information that I retain too..

"Oh where's my phone? Did you know that the telephone was actually invented by Alexander Graham Bell this is disputed in 1876?"

I get the face when I come out with stuff like that.

no it wasn't invented by him at all. He was taken to court by an italian whose name I forget because Bell stole the patent whilst working in the patent office. Cheating bugger.

Innocenzo Manzetti you mean?

Antonio meucci in case you're interested. He had an invalid wife and rigged up a phone system in his house so she could communicate with him when he was in another room. True love.

Oh Western how lovely of him.

OWW You forgot to mention honest, caring, genuine and not a game player!

Bant The ego boost is always nice. Don't ruin it by actually talking to her, that's when it all goes downhill.

always nice to wake up to a marriage proposal milk. I graciously decline.

Others: 'work keeps me busy'. 'not looking to shag around, just looking for some regular fun' 'new to this' 'not sure what to write here' 'I hate filling out these things'

Well, date from Tuesday wants to go out again. I'm undecided, mainly because I cba

The most common profile phrase I see is 'genuine guy, not interested in playing games'. As I am rather partial to a board game every now and then does that make me a game player I wonder?!

I had a lovely eve on my own last night, crap tv, too much wine and I raided the kids' Halloween stash! I woke up this morning to a message from a gorgeous, 30 yr old Dr. He wrote a clever, funny message and is just my type but he lives in London which is a good hr away from me. Relocating just for a date is probably a bit extreme, isn't it?!

Nah. I don't think you can screen someone out just because they use a cliche - or the word 'nice'. While cliches are annoying (work hard, play hard; equally happy going out or staying in etc etc) it doesn't mean the person is doomed. They could be a good person who's just written a bad profile.

LOL however, or babez, or '9 inches' is irrecoverable.

I get really tired of reading 'send me a message, I dont bite...unless you want me to'

Lol bant. Yes 9 inches is unrecoverable!

So, just been on the phone to the body builder. I didn't get a word in. I attempted to squeeze in a couple of mesmerising facts about myself but he just said 'sounds good' then continued to talk about himself, his charity money raising exploits, his life, his job, blah blah. We are meant to be meeting next Saturday and I still but I wonder whether I'll be exposing myself to an hour of self obsessed torture.

oh and 'what you see is what you get'
cuz that really means 'I'm one dimensional, I lack depth and sophistication'

body building is the quintessence of self obsession...

Oh dear scatty... I suspect your impression there may be correct

Mornin all!

scatty you could always ask him to do a twirl. I'm sure he'd oblige

OWW

He had an invalid wife and rigged up a phone system in his house so she could communicate with him when he was in another room. True love. he could text the OW and go on Adultwork, the cocklodging twunt.

This is MN, after all.

Morning all.

2 new messages on OKC this morning - one from a guy who's profile is all in Spanish (and he lives in Spain), and one from a guy I was chatting with over a month ago. He suddenly said "I"m going on holiday" and then disappeared for 5 weeks. Messaged me last night and suddenly wants to meet. I've discovered my new favourite expression: CBA.

Also had a wee peak at Just Single Parents (someone upthread mentioned it). I have literally nothing in my profile except my age and location because that was the bare minimum to set it up & I've already had two messages. Have to pay to read the messages & I don't think I'll bother - do I really want to talk to someone who is desperate enough to literally want to talk to anyone who lives in a 25 mile radius? I could have a mustache and be really into tattooing pictures of my 100 cats all over my body for all they know (I actually saw that on tv by the way).

Waiting for the Engineer to be in touch but in no hurry as then I will have to tell him I don't want to see him again.

Yes, a body builder twirling would be a sight.

Mercury, too true. I recently dumped a platonic male friend for his self obsessions. They seem of the same cloth.

A happy medium would be nice. I had to instigate most conversation the other night with date. Now I can't get a word in.

Is LOL really an unforgivable offence? I quite like it and find it helps to break up the use of excessive smiley faces. LOLZ on the other hand...!

A happy medium? I got chatting to a medium at a wedding a few months ago. She was mad and started telling my about my hopes and dreams, my bad points and why I felt fundamentally unfulfilled. This is over a drink when I'd known her 10 minutes. Weirdo.

Also she got everything wrong. I didnt have the heart to tell her, I presumed her ghostie friends would later on.

i really cba with conversation, all that getting to know you chit chat is such a strain.
I think a self obsessed body builder would be fine, i mean i do like a good physique and i'm happy to just smile and nod iif the sex is worthwhile :o

Morning all .. Well the surgeon got back in touch through POF this morning wants to give him another chance .. At what?? We had two 5 min telephone conversations FFS!!

Hey yoga I hate telling people thanks but no thanks but POF is certainly giving me lots of practise!! Hope it goes ok
