Took the liberty of starting a new thread. Blush

I did a few cake pictures when I was on POF. Blush

My reasons were valid though Hmm
a) icebreaker
b) I bake, it goes on my profile that I bake and it saves really irritatin messages like "hey, what's your favourite cake"
c) it was a bloody good cake.

Is that the female equivalent of the fish photo?

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 23:27

My irritating is missing a g

Must preview.

bantamrooster · 20/11/2012 23:28

i've seen a few cakes before, but they're normally quite tasty looking. One is probably enough though

KirstyWirsty · 20/11/2012 23:29

I have a picture of me with an owl on my profile ..

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 23:33

An owl Kirsty? What kind?

It's a Battenberg bantam! You can never have too much Battenberg!

bantamrooster · 20/11/2012 23:34

I can. I spent a month in Lubeck, Germany, when I was younger, where they have a dozen marzipan factories. I don't hate the stuff but too much of it is just... yeuch.

yoga flowers
(think georgia o keefe..)

KirstyWirsty · 20/11/2012 23:39

It is an eagle owl that I got a chance to hold when DD visited a falconry centre in Aberdeenshire in September .. Huge but light and absolutely beautiful

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 23:47

According to Saturday date the female equivilent is a self taken shot from above of the face and neck with a wierd pout - think teenage girl on fb.

Saturday date got back late so we text instead. He text "I think you're lovely, I fancy you and felt comfortable all weekend with you". This is good yes? Not too heavy after the weekend together? Texts are getting a little flirty too.

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 20/11/2012 23:48

Owls are lovely...

I've just had a look at POF again and reactivated my profile on there but couldn't see anyone that appealed. Looking forward to some messages! I find the matches are not very good on there, many are out of the age range for instance.

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 23:52

Age range I've never struggled with on matches (but I set mine really wide) but distance pof is shit. It obviously does as the crow flies, which is crappy when you live by the Thames crossing as someone in Essex or Kent are actually twenty odd miles apart, not five.

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 23:53

Good luck skaffen - you never know there may be a frog in there somewhere

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 20/11/2012 23:59

Arf at frog!
yes distance rubbish too, on OKC as well: I think it confuses miles and km

hatesponge · 21/11/2012 00:03

smokin you must be near me, I am 'south of the river' and always used to get men from Essex messaging me, much more so than ones in Kent (who probably were nearer, just not as the crow flies!)

lubeybooby · 21/11/2012 00:10

Mac, just undo the laces at the back, s'easy

smokinaces · 21/11/2012 07:27

Hates Yup sounds like I do. Want me to give you the heads up of a few names to avoid?!! He he he

WarmFuzzyFun · 21/11/2012 08:22

Morning All!

WarmFuzzyFun · 21/11/2012 08:36

lubey loved the dress. The corset, I have a very similar one:

in blue

As for your 'kinkyfuckery' kudos, would love an opportunity to wear oneSmile

MyLittleFireBird · 21/11/2012 08:47

bantamrooster Oh dear! I have a picture on a horse Smile

Hi everyone, I'm a long time reader/lurker but don't really do OD properly. I resurrected my OKC last night and am talking to someone who's funny and cute and very bright. I also created a POF one, which I hid after about an hour - it's scary on there! There's a complicated backstory and I can't properly contemplate being with someone else, but I need to get out there, get some fun back in my life, be distracted for a while, live my life and all that stuff. Hrm Hmm

lubeybooby · 21/11/2012 09:06

WFF oooh very nice! And I love a bit of kinkyfuckery.... although it's not really something I can do while er... dating myself as someone pointed out upthread :o

KirstyWirsty · 21/11/2012 09:07

Welcome firebird

lubeybooby · 21/11/2012 09:12

MyLittleFireBird hello and good luck! I completely understand hiding PoF after an hour. I honestly think if I ever went back there my brain would jump out in horror pack it's bags and leave the country, cursing me all the way... yelling "NO lubey, just NO, fuck off, we're not doing this again!"

KirstyWirsty · 21/11/2012 09:23

The guys I've met so far on POF have all been lovely bar the one who wanted me to give him a twirl

don't be put off .. there are decent blokes in there :)

Yogagirl17 · 21/11/2012 09:37

mercury Ha, I guess if you're thinking fish as phallic symbol then the female equivalent would be Georga O'keefe! Yuck. But probably the woman with kitten and/or woman in sexy underwear is more what I was thinking - I'm girly/feminine/sexy, me need hunter/gatherer male to give me a good seeing to look after me. (Women on horses? Trying to make some kind of link to Lady Chatterly maybe? Hmm)

I like the idea of a cake pic but probably not something I personally should do. Either the cake would be burnt and/or lopsided or if it looked good the conversation would go something like this:

Him: Ooh, your cake looks lovely, what kind of cake is it?
Me: M&S

smokin I assume you mean frog as in the kind that turns into a prince, not in the "crazy as a..." as we were discussing upthread?! Grin

kirsty I agree there are some decent men on POF, but so far "decent" is the best thing I can say about any of them. I'd like more than just decent. Is smart, funny, warm, tactile, easy to talk to and just a little bit sexy looking really too much for a girl to ask for? Sigh....

KirstyWirsty · 21/11/2012 09:46

yoga the two I've got on the go are all those things .. Am I being greedy?? Grin
