off we go

How's it going with him generally Pixie? Hope there aren't too many moods from him. He should still be trying to impress you! What does he say if you pull him up on it?

Have been mailing with two gsm men who are both slightly hard work but that seems to go with the gsm territory. One seems perfectly nice but with no sense of humour or wit but that could be just in writing. The other, I don't know. Meeting the other sometime next week when he's back in London. VM (one date then he went on holiday) is back next week too, so we'll see.

I have lost 6 kg in four months. More importantly I'm getting my own shape back from a lot of gym work and can now fit into another dress again so

I've had it with the dirty sleaze site for now and have made a new pof profile, mind you there is a fair bit of overlap..but no penis pictures in profiles :)

well done Juliette!

Pixie I agree with OWW, he should be trying to impress you. You deserve more.

winefiend oh dear..

Hmmm, might not be popular, but I had laser surgery on my eyes, and it was one of the best things I'd ever done.

I had to wear glasses from the age of 8, and hated it. Like Juliette, I could never find any that suited me. Later I wore contact lenses, but they made my eyes so sore and uncomfortable - even if I was having a great evening out, I often left early as I was desperate to take my contact lenses out. Not good.

So 6 or 7 years ago I took the plunge and had laser surgery.

Funnily enough, I quite like men who wear glasses - it's the whole 'geek look' I suppose.

I really like men in glasses, women can look really good too. But I'm another geek lover, quite a few of us on here!

The problem with glasses is just all the practical stuff, steaming up, getting rained on, sliding about on your nose if you're hot and sweaty. Not fun! I got lasered after my son was born and it's brilliant. I wish I'd had it done sooner especially as I was really, really short sighted so it was a real problem for me.

Keep forgetting to ask Ike how's the Botox doing now you've had it a while? Did you have fillers in the end? Can't afford it at the mo but might start a Botox fund!

oh jeeze Wine, is there no escape from the penis pictures

problem I find with specs is the lack of wrap around style prescription shades, in the summer I have to wear contacts with sunglasses cuz my prescription sunglasses just let to much light in around the edges!

Yes, the practical stuff with glasses is tricky, but for me it was more the self-esteem stuff. I went from being a 7-year-old who loved nothing more than being in front of the camera to an 8-year-old who avoided having her photo taken because I felt so ugly with glasses.

I am getting a (fairly modest) bonus at the end of this month nowhere near the amount a friend of mine got, who bought a brand new 4x4 for cash with hers . Normally it goes into the house repair/buying off the Ex/rainy day fund. But as I am not getting any younger I am thinking of spending it on my face (Botox/fillers, that kind of thing). I would spend it on my teeth, but I don't think the amount I'm getting will come anywhere near what I'd need to spend to end up with some perfectly even smile...

If I could have laser surgery, I probably would. It's just that my chances of a successful outcome are minimal in which case I would have permanently impaired vision.

Wine what category of murky?

Pixie what's up with him? as others have said how he reacts when you pull him on it is what to watch.

Velvet braces can actually do a lot of the work if you can stand it. I think there is an emphasis on veneers etc because of the makeover programmes. The invisible braces take a lot longer and are still a bit visible though.

I think I look weird without my glasses. :)

velvet don't you dare spend good money on a load of monkey-spunk being injected into your face you are GORGEOUS and I will NOT hear another WORD about it.

Had nice bath, shaved legs (!) attacked rampaging chin hairs... Am about to paint toenails..my fave pizza was yellow-ticketed in sainsbos (this always marks an evening of indulgence) and having a glass of wine. Very content. Is nice.

I'd just like to get rid of my frown lines which make me look cross and grumpy when I'm not. Eye bags too, but they don't really bother me. All the nice lines from smiling can stay

If Buffy is like any of the other geeky, Democrat activists I've known then the size of the frame and cordy thing is very much for effect. The whole kooky librarian chic thing is kind of a uniform for them.

I'm thinking of trying out Match. I've been irrationally snobby about it, but it can't all be accountants from the suburbs right?

here's a potato who's helpfully named himself after a brand of crisps:

Juliette I wouldn't think it's worth the risk of permanently damaging your eyesight to have the laser stuff done (but easy for me to say as I don't wear glasses...yet). I don't think braces would do me much good, my teeth are more unevenly sized than crooked (they are crooked as well, but its more the size, and the colour, that I don't like!). I could just have them bleached but can't decide if it's worth it...

Snape you're too kind, I am not gorgeous (certainly wasn't earlier tonight when I was attacking my chin hairs and upper lip hairs in the magnifying mirror...!)

I've heard that bleaching leaves you with uber sensitive teeth?

I am scared of laser surgery going wrong - I am pretty short sighted (-11 or so in both eyes so in the "if I don't know where my glasses are before I go to sleep I've had it) category but I've worn contact lenses for over 20 years and my sight is better with them than gasses I think. Especially due peripheral vision).

How short sighted were you OWW? Was it exciting being able to see when you woke up? Sometimes I would love to have that sensation . Both Mr Nice and XH wear glasses. Both look a little odd without them tbh

Wine . It would be the stabbing I would be concerned about, thank goodness for Google.

Velvet once they are moved you may find the size thing isn't the issue you think it is . I did it and was surprised at how much teeth can move.

My best shortsighted story is swimming related. Always took kids swimming on a Sunday afternoon.... Always saw the same guy there as I churned my lengths. As a tattooed lady myself, was appreciative of his full body suit.

Got contact lens trial.

Turns out he was just very hairy...

but swimming with contacts..surely not??
