Well purse my fanjo, giraffes in wheelchairs and submariners going dowwwnnnn - the dating thread hits 30!

[JulietteMontague]

Off we go...

[mercury7]

actually I think women sending close up pictures of their working parts is worse, because women tend to have a better sense of what's erotic, and whats just vulgar, they should know better.
I see womens profiles on sex sites with erotic naked pics.
I've never seen a naked pic of a man that could be expected to appeal to a heterosexual woman, they tend to just strike feminine poses that look cringy or homo erotic, or they just post awful looking butchers shop pictures

Or am I just stereotyping?

[48howdidthathappen]

mercury agree in love with the idea of being in love. Quickly burns out.

[FlorentinePogen]

Or am I just stereotyping?

Of course you are stereotyping.

That said, however, there's nothing worse than a 'Last Turkey In The Shop' cock pic.

[mercury7]

ok, I'll rephrase, yes of course I am stereotyping/generalising but this does tend to be the case?
My experience backs it up...but then again, confirmation bias and all that
I've seen some jaw droppingly revolting pictures in mens profiles, they may well be perfectly serviceable organs belonging to perfectly attractive men, but what can have possessed them to think that would help them pull??

[ike1]

All this talk of flaps, turkeys, consuming, whooshing-Coffee is banned in this house for well into the new year!

[mercury7]

I think we need more info on the kinds of naked pics that she's been sending Bant :o

[ike1]

Whats the matter with you Mercury? I loves a cock pic I do-slurp, slurp, gobble, gobble..

[mercury7]

stoppit ike1 :o
you're reminding me of a horrid dream I had last night..I can still taste the bitter...

[ike1]

Dont sleep with your mouth open Mercury.....!

[48howdidthathappen]

Oh well. I have texted Mr Fuck. Ball is in his court. A massive letting down of the guard. See if he comes through.

[mercury7]

I've just arranged a supermarket date for later today, yes I'm gonna meet him in tesco, have to go there anyway so it wont be a wasted trip...if he's too awful I'll try and give him the slip in the frozen food section :o

[ike1]

48 coolio- see what happens. Perhaps Turkeys, flaps and coffee could be in the next thread title somewhere??? Maybe not the flaps bit.....

[ike1]

Mercury that is actually an excellent idea!!!

[48howdidthathappen]

mercury I once got hit on in the chiller section. Think he thought my nipples were pleased to see him

[FlorentinePogen]

ike, you have to get the phrase 'residual parenting commitments' in there too.........

[mercury7]

thanks ike1 I know its unromantic, but I like first meetings to be relaxed and low key..if no one has especially gone out of their way then there's less of a let down if you dont fancy each other

( I will be in full make up and a ball gown of course:o )

[lulubellaboozle]

How about ......Men with fish, the last turkey in the shop, residual parenting commitments and lots and lots of Coffee! or any other variation?

[KirstyWirsty]

Well interesting timing .. Mr Cheeky from work (the one I spent Halloween evening, night and the next morning with in a hotel and then decided I didn't want to take it any further) messaged me this morning at work asking me to go out for a drink with him ... anyhow I mentioned that I had signed up for POF and he was AGHAST!!

He said to me 'that's a shagging site' and that I should sign up for eharmony or match ... I told him that was a bit of pot and kettle seeing as we had only in it together for the sex and not a relationship..

He has left me to think about whether i want to go out with him again (eh .. no .. don't hold your breath!)

It made me think about TheAuditor though - did he just hang out for 5 dates to get a shag .. and maybe I should switch onto another site (just reactivated POF profile last night after his text saying he was going to be sorting things with his ex - after we spent Sunday afternoon in bed)

Anyhow .. I had been messaged by a cop who lives two streets away around the same time as theAuditor came on the scene so I'm now meeting him for a drink tomorrow night in the local pub.. might as well get back in the saddle

[Yogagirl17]

Kirsty not the first time I've heard of POF referred to as a "shagging site" - I do wonder if enough people think that's what it is then...I don't know, kind of self-fulfilling proficy..?

I thought about giving e-harmony a look but I tried to set up a profile on there months ago. Got forced to fill in pages and pages of stupid questions only to get a message right at the end saying "We're sorry, you put your status as separated and our site is only for single or legally divorced people, you can not use our service" (or something like that). Now, it won't let me set up a new account with the same email and won't let me log back into my original account to change it.

Snape will send you lots of woo on Tuesday! Any news with your eco-warrior?

(Sorry but I'm sort of deliberately ignoring all the talk of turkeys and flaps!)

[mercury7]

POF may be the asda of dating sites,where eharmony is the waitrose..but they are all there to satiate the same appetites :o

[Yogagirl17]

But mercury, not everyone has the same appetites.

[48howdidthathappen]

I have met 6 nearly 7 men through POF. Only one I think was only after just sex, he went without

[mercury7]

depends how you want to look at it Yoga appetites vary but they all arise from a common urge, ie to make some kind of sexual connection..doncha think

anyways, I can see reason to look aghast @ POF but that would be on account of it's 'chav central' feel

[48howdidthathappen]

Just thinking aloud really. If we always going looking for Red flags will we always find them? Self fulfilling [sceptical]

[Snapespeare]

yoga was chatting to him on fb on monday night, instigated by me - nothing yesterday, so I guess no news as such. shame as he seems to be quite nice.
