I know and the cheeky effer really thinks he can pull the 26 year olds....look at his age specifications ffs!

Snapespeare · 04/02/2013 12:04

Oh bless him, he's five foot our as well. Must have had a hard life! (& I was sodding well signed in, so he's seen me check him out...)

JulietteMontague · 04/02/2013 12:05

Walk yep, I've seen that article its very depressing as somewhere there is also an attractiveness scale and I came out something like 10% purely because age overrides the other considerations. That was a bit of a shocker.

Ike exactly, it was a very weird night, followed by the realisation a couple of days later that that the same man was a mild mannered polite guy that no one had noticed before.

JulietteMontague · 04/02/2013 12:07

Also in mitigation of the Nazi, there was a bit of poetic licence with a rather impressive naked chest under an overcoat.

ike1 · 04/02/2013 12:07

.....and me Snape ....he must be wondering why these hot alternative babes are ogling his adonis -like self

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 12:07

Walk No offence. I got you Smile

See all the over 40s I met were honest about there age. Maybe it was because I had my search set at over 45. They didn't register on my radar.

Mr R&R dreamt about him and me. It wasn't sexual either Confused

ike1 · 04/02/2013 12:11

Its still an odd thing to do though Jule...even with irony ...there is that film The Night Porter with Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling ....he was probs trying to channel that ....if not it speaks of that other overly entitled cock Prince Harry (and that is deffo not a a good look)

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 12:12

Snape He will think its his lucky day! Grin

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:15

interesting ok cupid blog article, but I'd say alot of it counts as opinion more than fact..it's her interpretation of the data, and she will to some extent have selected the data to support her pre existing beleifs.

Anyway, I get tons of offers from much younger men:o

watchoutforthatsnail · 04/02/2013 12:17

oh no, i love prince harry. hes lovely. i would.

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:18

the markmaw profile, I dunno he might not be too much older than 40, he looks very jowly it might just be a bad photo, I'd need to see a few more

ike1 · 04/02/2013 12:22

oh no..... orrible ...that's prince H btw

JulietteMontague · 04/02/2013 12:23

Ike when I say a long time ago I mean in about 1984 and in a country where they were occupied so it was with some irony. It still shocked me though which is why I guess I remember it.

ike1 · 04/02/2013 12:23

Thing is Merc...I would be 2 years too old fro his (markmaw) requirements ...but he would look like my dad next to me!

ike1 · 04/02/2013 12:25

Yeah ....I think that sort of thing is just tactless Jule.

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:28

I guess thats the crux of it, he's got nothing going for him looks wise yet he still thinks he can pull someone younger...I doubt he has the resources to be a sugar daddy.
P'raps he has a secret weapon:o

watchoutforthatsnail · 04/02/2013 12:35

no, he seriously looks lots older than 40.

And to expect to attract a 26 year old is laughable i think.

No, i luff his royal gingerness. Esp in desert kit. he seems fun. Naughty fun ;) but a decent chap as well. An a nice hybrid of scruff and posh. I tried to stalk him once, as he was frequently spotted in a local supermarket. but i didnt see him, just lots of cakes ( which i ate)

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:37

I just had a message from this fantasist

'Tall, strong guy 6'2" , Slim/athletic build and blue eyes.
Expert at massage so if you like to get oiled up get in touch. (And its great fun when you cant hold on to each other too)! Anything you have not done but want to try, just message me, am up for trying something new.
Probably looking for just one lady to meet with.
If you are wanting a phone call and to meet for coffee thats good for me too but not endless coffee meets as I am a busy professional and don't have time to waste'

He's 53, not fat but if he's athletic I'm a giraffe....I suspect the only way he'll get what he wants is if he consults a 'professional'

Alot of guys on the casual site seem to think that women will be happy to provide a free escort service, there are quite alot of womens who, judging by the wording of their profiles are on there looking for business.
I'd imagine they do reasonably well, most of those men have got zero chance of getting laid for free!

lubeybooby · 04/02/2013 12:39

Juliette I once met a man who said he was 54 that turned out to be 73 and using a very old pic.

He had a jag worth more than my house. I just couldn't though! Still the date was worth the shock because I got to sit in the jag and stroke it. The jag, not him. Very very much not him. Was nice pretending to be lady muck for five minutes though while he dropped me home.

JulietteMontague · 04/02/2013 12:46

Lubey ewwww!!!!! did he live in Hampshire? One of my earliest disastrous OD was the man with the very prominent long grey ear hair that seemed to move independently. Over lunch I said something about men who drive Jaguars, when we walked to the car park afterwards, yep it was this nasty flashy jag of some sorts. I got a text on my way home to say I wasn't suitable Hmm.

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:53

clearly only women who will agree to sex as soon as they have sight of a jag are 'suitable' Juliette:o

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 12:55

Haha Ike at the looking like your dad. I am way too old for him. Yay!!!

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 12:56

quite alot of men do seem to think that the car will swing it for them..I have yet to reach the upper eschalons of those men, no jaguars yet...there was a pilot, but he looked like jeremy clarkson :(

KinNora · 04/02/2013 12:58

Mercury, that is utterly revolting. One of my own personal red flags is the use of the word 'lady' in their profile - always denotes a prize knobber.

Memo to self - don't have a roasted beetroot risotto for lunch out with a date if you're coming down with a virus and it's going to make a reappearance later.

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 13:00

It can work the other way. Mr R&R is only a month older than me, with very boyish looks. He no way looks 48. Non smoker, only drinks water, daily moisturiser. Fuck has it paid off.
