Well the reason I feel like its unfair is because I can't see myself being in a relationship with this guy. So basically all I want is some fun!

My brother has serious issues with women because of our mum who he hadn't spoke to for years since he was around 14.

And we are very close I am like his mum figure even though I'm only 6years older then him.

When we were out he was acting like I needed to be watched at all times! And now I feel like some kind of slag for getting it on with his mate! Confused

Moving I am close to my brother also but I would laugh in his face if he dared object to any relationship/fling/one nighter/flirtation of mine

velvet, that is lovely, and so true. How are you feeling now?

yeah, i am going to keep my wits about me, see what happens, if i think im being played or he is an arse, then thats it. I think its worth seeing him again once to work it out.

Flipper924 · 04/02/2013 21:12

Agree about the strong minded woman. Mr Walking actually said that I wasn't the sort of woman he usually went for, because I had opinions and wasn't afraid to voice them. Apparently he found that 'fascinating'. I don't want a man who thinks the fact that I have opinions is fascinating, I want a man who thinks that's normal!

And if you all don't mind going back to the car conversation, I used to have a real boy racer car, and now have one with an even higher bhp, though it's not a high status badge. Dates/potential dates always seem disappointed that I'm not impressed with their status cars, but they're never interested in mine, so why should I fall over myself to flatter their ego?

You're right, of course, Velvet, the right man will appreciate me and my opinions. All of my friends (male and female) do, so it's not such a strange idea!

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 21:13

Moving, if you're a 'mother figure' you should be telling him what to do not vice versa Wink

whatever his issue's they are his problem and you shouldnt have to tiptoe around and not have a full life because of him!

mercury7 · 04/02/2013 21:16

Flipper I'm imagining that dates/potential dates treat your super sexy car as if it's a beat up old ford escort...a kind of denial mechanism to protect the ego:o

VelvetSpoon · 04/02/2013 21:24

Watch I'm ok so long as I don't eat or think about food....

Re goat boy, I know you will keep your wits about you. I don't think seeing him once more can hurt :)

flipper I know what you mean re the opinions thing. The evil ex used to comment that I had a lot to say for myself, and he didn't mean it as a compliment!

Flipper924 · 04/02/2013 21:28

Mercury, yep, they get the same look on their faces when I tell them what it is as they do when I express an opinion! I don't mind people not caring if they're not interested in cars, but why boast about your car and then not even be polite enough to acknowledge mine? And I had a beat up old escort once, it was my first carGrin

Moving, he might be pleased you're seeing his mate, once he gets over the weirdness of it!

Hope Nora and Velvet are feeling better.

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 21:30

Car type, house size who the hell is interested. Honestly anyone that judges people on stuff is not for me.

Flipper924 · 04/02/2013 21:31

Oh, Velvet, I see you are a bit. Funnily enough, I don't feel good if I think about or eat food. I wonder if you've got what I've got Wink?

because for them cars are inextricably linked with masculinity, we mere women ought to be sitting quietly indoors with our embroidery, not getting out and stealing their thunder.

If a woman gets out and grows a pair his are gonna suddenly seem tiny:o

I had a ford cougar once, cheap but I thought it was quite sexy

Flipper Shock Am sure it is just a bug!

Winefiend it's a difficult balance I think. I am independent, but I need a strong minded independent man too. I want someone who is a match for me - problem is in trying to find that I tend to end up with all the ones with anger management/violence issues....or I go too much the other way and they're just too nice.

Tricky!

Flipper924 · 04/02/2013 21:51

When you find him, Winefiend, will you ask him if he's got a slightly older brother who?s also single, who has similar tastes in women?

I dont really care if he's strong minded or not...I only want him for sex, for everything else I like to plough my own furrow:o

ike1 · 04/02/2013 21:57

Gimme 'too nice' any time....

Winefield, are you my twin?

I cant stand hen pecked men. Or submissive ones. I want one like you have described. They are few and far between, or the decent ones like that are.

Essentially im attracted to a heady combination of scruff, confidence, edged with some arrogance. And beards.

Cant say its been a sucessful combo, but its exciting non the less.

Goat boy is all of the above which is why im seeing him again. 3rd date within a week. Ive got to just see...... cant walk away without being 100%

watchoutforthatsnail · 04/02/2013 22:01

Winefield.... dont even get us started on kink! ( again)

Wasnt michael hutchence the most beautiful man though. So, so sexy.

ike1 · 04/02/2013 22:11

Oh god not the Hutchence.....thing is when 2 strong minds meet they tend to clash and then stubbornly refuse to back down .....that has been my experience...so you need to have a great deal of respect for your partner in order to trust their decision is right as opposed to bloody minded. R.E.S.P.E.C.T is the name of the game.

ike1 · 04/02/2013 22:12

The Hutch would have pissed me off immensely ....I would have been tempted to kick his whiney ass as opposed to shag it...

ike1 · 04/02/2013 22:16

Would much prefer Geldof ....authentic bit of rough
