Kin your boobs are magnificent and I suggest you let them out at every opportunity in future.

Right, the potential for inappropriate sockage in normal men over 40 seems to be a hazard to come to terms with. It goes with the general style in his pics, and is the gold standard for gsm men. Take it from a woman who once mixed two of this type up, and the same week failed to even recognise one of them across the pub on a second date so interchangeable were they.

AWarmFuzzyFuture · 14/08/2013 21:28

Yeah twinny get yer baps out!!!

grinchie · 14/08/2013 21:29

Grin Juliette

KinNora · 14/08/2013 21:34

No, I have to keep them under control otherwise they get manhandled like my last work Christmas party with a swinger pimping me out to her husband .

I've never actually met a Sock Infringer Juliette I worry that if I ever did I would suffer some instinctive projectile vomiting incident.

Yogagirl17 · 14/08/2013 21:38

I think I love you grinchie Grin

You're right - I have a photo of my tattoo on here, forgot about that. Will message them both and see - why not!

Yogagirl17 · 14/08/2013 21:44

Do you ever try and find matches for each other on here?

SweetSeraphim · 14/08/2013 21:48

I think there's a 'no dating the thread' rule Yoga

SweetSeraphim · 14/08/2013 21:49

Oooh I've missed reading all your exploits for the last week while I've been on holiday. Lovely to have a catch up Grin

Secretservice · 14/08/2013 21:49

I diasappear for a while and I miss Nora's décolletage by minutes!

Spent most of the day catching up - loving Lorna's pash alley - I have a special churchyard which I can't pass without a George Hamilton-stylee smile Blush

No dating news here unless you count the message a received this morning: Hi etc etc eyc [sic]. How lazy do you have to be?

Feeling all your A-level angst, just A/Ss here, but that's bad enough!

Hugs and air kisses to all!

PlotTwist · 14/08/2013 21:55

I read these messages with a smidge of jealousy and quite a bit of living vicariously.

As for 'all good looking birds on this thread'. Sorry, I'm pretty fugly nondescript. Smile

KinNora · 14/08/2013 22:01

Secret just imagine two bald men hiding in a corset.

Plot nah, I bet you're just as foxy as everyone else

grinchie · 14/08/2013 22:01

Well, I love you too Yoga but we've been through this before and I'm with Ironman now.
I've never found matches for anyone on here but I could set up in business trawling the sites for people on here, lord knows I have the time at the moment still living vicariously through others.

No Plot I am sure you are not nondescript. Fact. I will not be persuaded otherwise.

Yogagirl17 · 14/08/2013 22:10

No - I didn't mean dating on the thread!! I meant finding someone a match on a dating site. Sadly due to financial constraints the only one i"m on at the moment is POF. I spent 3 months on match (had a couple of dates and one very short lived fling) but its expired now (the subscription and the fling).

TheTitleSaysItAllReally · 14/08/2013 22:16

Whoop whoop!

Widower has just asked for a date Smile

Tesco is about to Smile (I think)

Shiftworker has not yet got back in touch since going to bed this morning, but I have a newbie I'm chatting to as well - the Lawyer. Seems pretty keen - made a date to chat this evening if you like...

All in all, a successful day's messaging. We'll see how much turns out not to be bull... Wink

thefoxandtherose · 14/08/2013 22:27

Just dropped by to share this little gem before I catch up with the thread. Message received from a man who I have never spoken to before on POF.

Him: your stuk up and judgmental
Me: How
Him: u just hav that look

Now, how can somebody just 'have the look' of someone stuck up and judgemental!?

PlotTwist · 14/08/2013 22:31

thefox did you write back...

  • you're
  • stuck
  • you
  • have
Grin
TheTitleSaysItAllReally · 14/08/2013 22:31

Yup, I can tell that about you just from your words rose... Wink

I've just had a blinding conversation opener... 'have you had much luck on here?' Hmm

Djangounhinged · 14/08/2013 22:36

Evening all,

Lorna you owned the dating updates last night! So that's what Dr pashing meant... Whatever next ? Go you!

Communications with the footballer continue apace, I think he's not such a troublesome soul after all, seems very straightforward and honest in person, but I could be being led by my raging libido here... No second date booked at yet but we are both talking as if it's inevitable, just a case of matching diaries, babysitters etc. I am grinning, still Grin

Hugs to you all, I am on a wee cloud of distractedness and red wine and will pay more attention soon.

grinchie · 14/08/2013 22:41

Fox I can look both stuck up and judgemental when some obnoxious tosspiece I have never met before is passing comment on me behind the safety curtain of the internet.
My response to him would have been dear generally I am neither stuck up nor judgemental, at this time however, I feel myself instinctively making an exception on both counts. With this in mind, if I ever do have the misfortune to meet you in real life you can kiss my sweet ring. Grinchie x

thefoxandtherose · 14/08/2013 22:45

Haha, grinchie I wish I'd seen your response before replying! I replied to his second message with 'Brilliant. Charmed I'm sure', and he responded 'lol. skank'. Go figure.

Yogagirl17 · 14/08/2013 22:57

Oh the irony fox - it's not at all judgemental to make snap decisions about someone you've never even had a conversation with!

TheTitleSaysItAllReally · 14/08/2013 22:59

Whoop indeed. Widower and I are meeting up on Saturday, venue tbc.

Lawyer has asked if we can meet when I'm back from my holiday at the end of the month. He's given me his mobile number for ease of contact.

The only thing I have against any of them is Lawyer shared his name with my ex. Tesco shares his name with Mr Unlovely. Feels odd to say the least. I know that's me being a bit silly though!

TheTitleSaysItAllReally · 14/08/2013 23:04

Tesco has just sent me a rose on pof. Hmm. Not sure I can look at that without this expression on my face: Hmm

Grin
MirandaWest · 14/08/2013 23:17

Hello :)

Can someone tell me to pull myself together - Mr Nice left the holiday cottage a couple of hours ago (he was up here for three nights) and I am missing him Sad. DC kindly suggested playing Racing Demon which helped but I would like to be in bed with him rather than on my own.

DC got on v well with him (had never had all of them in the same place together for that long) and it was just nice and normal and fun and I can imagine the future with him and me living together and DC there most of the time too.

Can I also join the worrying about A level results by proxy as Mr Nices DS gets his tomorrow as well. I seem to be more stressed than Mr Nice about it.

I am going to eat chocolate and think of good things about having the bed to myself

grinchie · 14/08/2013 23:36

Good evening Miranda Smile
I will by all means tell you to pull yourself together if that's what you really want.
Missing someone is a good thing, nobody misses the crap dates or the ones who aren't 'quite right'.
A comfy bed on your own is a good thing, stretch out, enjoy the space and missing him, that way you will better enjoy his company when he's back.
It sounds like you've had a brilliant time together, that's the holy grail.
Smile
