The Rules

1 Develop a thick skin;

1. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
2. It's all BS until it actually happens;
3. Trust your gut instinct;
4. If it is not fun, stop

Just popped back on here and -
WTF???
Can we down weapons now & go back to our ever so amusing discussions of dating, please?
Somewhat off-topic, but saw theSTBXH to collect my CDs & - OMFG - he is growing a beard! A proper Cap'n Birdseye one. I wonder what his floozy thinks? Maybe she has left & he is channelling his inner Santa Claus. Beards do not suit him & make him look old - fine by me.
Now, troops, get a grip & back to dating stories, pronto!

SM My mum became ill just after I met Mr R&R, was it a good time to continue with a new relationship. No. It has been very difficult at times.

Was it worth it. A big yes

Yes, offended by blatant sexism directed at one person

I am proud to be a feminist

I'm quite prepared to agree to disagree. My post at 21.49 said as much.

western - it has been a great thread for over 56000 posts and some of us were here from early on - we know what a great thread it has been

Mistakes Cruse are brilliant, I used to recommend them often to people when I worked in a cancer hospital. I hope you get the support you need, love.

An awful lot of us have been here from the start. An awful lot of us are feminists. That doesn't mean that we don't get pissed off when there are people we perceive to be spoiling the thread for the sake of arguing all the time. It's just ridiculous.

Anywayyyyyy. I'm ignoring it from now on, it's getting old and predictable.

You were right, stopped messaging me and have received the thanks but no thanks text. Have duly blocked him and deleted my account. Am not tough enough for this at the moment.

watch has been banned. didnt msC say so?

and its not my warped view of reality, is it, if other people are posting the same stuff.

Lidl Agent Provocateur oh yes. Apparently a word pronounced as 'lid' is Dutch for 'sexual member'. I found this out at the dinner table, his teenage daughter thought it was funny.

Agree with the weariness, it' also pretty predictable and therefore boring.

Ike I miss you on here too, you are kind, funny and say it like it is.

Yeah, that bloody bastardy Bant - eeh, he's always there with his 'Women Know Your Place !' ranting. I said to him, just before I hurled myself in front of his horse at the Derby, 'Bant' I said ' you're a sexist git and no mistake. Permission to die under the hooves of your nag, sir ?'

Interesting that we're now calling time on the discussion, not when I suggested it, but after a couple of nice little digs my way.

But of course, that's just me being over-sensitive. Silly me.

Or maybe it's one of my glaring character flaws?

And Proper as a feminist, surely you agree women should dress as they wish, without fear or concern that a man might draw an adverse impression from it? I thought that was a fairly basic feminist principle?

Juliette ( I may be repeating myself here ) the Arabic for 'dick' is 'air' - apparently large numbers of Arabs find the names of various airlines hilarious

This thread is filled with too many conversations at once. I can't keep up. Done my marking quota for the evening - only lots left

Is unlike me to semi flounce even but cba too much keeping posting on here really. So I'll wish everyone well and retreat for at least a while.

Nora I love you (even though we know nowt as we've not been on the thread From The Start).

Colin maybe have another try in a while? It does take a bit of getting used to and it's difficult if you're not feeling particularly "up" and self confident.

I didn't get involved in the discussion, velvet, as that's not why I lurk and sometimes post on this thread. This is where I come to relax. I support feminism verbally every single day. My comments aren't about you, you're a regular contributor to this thread, and I have shown my support for you many times. They are about the few posters that don't post for ages and just jump on for a fight or to wind people up.

Grinds my fucking gears.

So.. Dating news anyone?

Aerlingus? What does that mean in Arabic?

Bant interesting that your true colours show when under attack.

Your reference to 'however many more year of unsuccessful dates and being dropped by men' is fairly clearly directed at me.

Remind me of your longest OD relationship, since you're so clued up on how it works?

I love you too OWW and I definitely know nowt as I was Not Here in The Beginning, when all was peaceful and nought stirred 'cept for the gentle murmur as various non-malicious, in no way provocative, oh no not me, sirrreeee posters gambolled in the meadows of Match.

Bant I appreciate your perspective, consider yourself an honorary laydeeee.
