Evening all. As you were.

Rose hope you're doing okay. I know you've got your own thread, but don't be shy about posting on here if you want to.

Just been talking to LM. He really is lovely. And funny. Really looking forward to seeing him tomorrow - part of me wishes it was just us two, but it will be great to have a good day out with all the dcs too. It'll be fun. Mine have promised to behave so we'll see!

In other news, dd has still not finished stripping the wall - she has one piece about 20 cm by 5cm left to do - so her bedroom's still in complete turmoil with all the furniture pulled into the middle of the room as it's all held up waiting for this. She doesn't seem bothered. So I've told her that I won't use her name until she's finished the job and shall only refer to her as Scraper. I thought calling her Stripper might give people the wrong idea. She is actually bothered by this, amazingly, although whether she'll be bothered enough to actually finish the job is another matter entirely ...

I've never had a cock pic either, unless we count Talent Show's semi-submerged non-specific genital.

If anyone does want some really horrific photos to send, I'm quite sure I can think of a few medical conditions we can trawl Google images for. ( At work I once tried to find images that demonstrated syphillitic changes on xray - syphillis and Google images are not happy bedfellows ).

I think it must be vanity, ego and a huge sense of entitlement that makes them think we all want to see it. Remember Senator Weiner (yes, that was his name), claimed his Twitter account was hacked after he accidentally sent what he though was a private message to a 21 year old, but tweeted it worldwide. It turned out she got the penis in pants version but he had sent his erection to a range of random women that he had never actually met, including pics clearly of him with naked torso.

Ew Bant...although kinda cute too. x

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:25

No I cannot imagine what would possess a bloke to do that sort of thing....orrible and yes verging on sex perversion..

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:26

Mabe I look a bit strict or something...

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:26

Maybe

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:27

Mercury yes, it was vile and showed him for what he really was, although I'd had my suspicions about his online activity and honey trapped him but he didn't know I knew he had lied to me. The weird thing is, when he was with me he could not have treated me better. No one would ever have known.

OhWesternWind · 18/02/2013 22:28

I've never had one either! I think part of it's a power thing and part of it is that they really, truly believe women think it's sexy. They'd probably appreciate an ahem intimate photo and don't have the imagination/ sensitivity/ understanding of the female psyche to realise it doesn't quite work like that. God, they must be crap in bed.

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:28

God Jule with some of your experiences I am amazed you can still be bothered with it all...

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:34

Ike this wasn't even OD Grin.

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:36

Sigh....x

KinNora · 18/02/2013 22:38

It's something I've experienced at work quite often, they have generally 'forgotten' to put their hospital gown on underneath their dressing gown ( and this is a separate thing to those people who do genuinely misunderstand changing instructions, there's a very different attitude they have ) and are usually quite insistent along the lines of ' I don't mind if you don't, darling ' as they unveil their mighty weapon. My usual answer is ' I do mind ' why do you imagine my day would be remotely enhanced by the addition of your wizened little pizzle wafted about at eye level ?

They seem to think it's a treat for the ladies.

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:40

Kin that is so similar to when you go to stay with 'old friends' i.e. your own goog female friend, and the husband just has to wander around the kitchen in one of those ridiculous shorty towelling robes which never quite closes properly.

Still seeing Sugar Daddy

I have just spent the weekend with him in London. He is good company and really kind and caring. We met some of my friends, who really liked him and think he is lovely. And he is!

It's been about two months now! A long term relationship?? Some things are very comfortable. I have often spent a couple of nights at his house when DS is at his dads.

Overall things do seem good and hopefully I am slowly learning not to be too paranoid although the occasional worry does creep in. I still worry that I am going to get a phone call to tell me it' s all over. Where does that come from? He was cuddling me in bed last night telling me I was lovely.

Just at a bit of a low point this evening. Had a text from my exH with lots of kisses on it, which obviously wasn't meant for me. I'm not sure how he sent it to me by accident but he has. I don't care for him anymore but it made me feel strange.

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:45

I had no idea bollocks could drop that much.

Poppy good to see you are still going strong there, if you have niggly doubts just pay attention to whether it is from you or your are picking up signals. Meanwhile enjoy! Grin

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:46

and of course you will feel strange when a text like that arrives, do you think it really was accidental or did he play games?

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:49

Jule...I have a dressing gown like that tho...I am sure I have horrified the poor postie with it before tho....

mercury7 · 18/02/2013 22:49

western a power thing?
hmm you mean like when monkeys display an erection as a kind of dominance/aggression thing?

Bant re tantamount to assault, I dunno, if it can really qualify(?) but it certainly feels as if he'd like to assault you or in some way force himself on you if he could get away with it

48howdidthathappen · 18/02/2013 22:53

poppy I did the text thing to my ex. I was mortified. I still don't know how I did it Confused

Really good to hear you things are going well with Sugar Daddy.

OhWesternWind · 18/02/2013 22:54

Yes, just like that, Mercury! To show dominance, provoke a reaction of some kind, make you do something (ie look at his cock) that you don't want to do ... Abusive and vile.

ike1 · 18/02/2013 22:54

Except it isnt bollocks that dangle out of mine....poor boy....no wonder his hair is beginning to go grey...

VelvetSpoon · 18/02/2013 22:55

I'm another one who gets sent lots of cock pics. And a new recent low, wanking videos. Unbelieveable. Men have a tendency to assume because I have big eyes, plenty of cleavage and look a bit sexy (apparently) that I am up for it and would appreciate being sent this sort of stuff.

Msc so glad you got some answers from mr cm.

I have had 4 different blokes contacting me today, all wanting to take me out etc. But I don't want any of them, I want cuthbert who I've heard sod all from since last wednesday. Not even sure if I'm seeing him this week.

mercury7 · 18/02/2013 22:55

Juliette, it's so easy to honey trap a man on a dating site..candy from a baby.
Not that the tables cant be turned but I suspect women would bite less easily?

JulietteMontague · 18/02/2013 22:55

I do think it is like assault, not my weapon of choice mind you.

Ike presumably you don't have a cock bouncing out from between the folds though, or worse hand me a coffee at the kitchen table with said protuberance at eye level. Grin
