Here we go again...

Ooh I don't know, hormonal. In my limited experience it hasn't been a good sign - BUT it not necessarily the same for everyone. Maybe meet him and see what vibe you get?

Queenofthedrivensnow · 01/11/2013 23:14

I hid my profile this week. I didn't know you couldn't delete I just assumed it couldn't be done on the app?

Queenofthedrivensnow · 01/11/2013 23:49

Meanwhile. Someone I once had bad, bad sex with has just popped up without warning on the tv. Channel 5 to be specific. Shudder.

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 05:21

Queen! You can't leave it there! Talking of cocks, I did date a guy with the tiniest cock in the world, he sent me a photo once and I actually thought it was his finger. He kissed like a washing machine so glad I didn't go further!

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 08:47

I have a dilemma. I have a brief drink date booked for next Saturday with tall solicitor. Haven't heard anything for a few days BUT there's another tall guy, manager, who wants to see me ASAP even for coffee. He phones and texts a lot (I love that) he's thoughtful and chatty and hasn't even been back on that site since we started talking (it's not right in his mind). But I'm not sure I fancy him. He's tall and a gym bunny and has tattoos (love them!). But then again I don't really fancy the solicitor :-/ hard to decide over a couple of mugshots.

I also don't like multiple dating...

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 09:10

stupidhead you are right you can't tell anything from a picture, if the tall manager is showing all the attributes then I would def meet home for coffee at least. That way you will be able to tell if there is that spark

I wouldn't count that as multi dating, if you prefer tall manager you can politely cancel tall solicitor next Saturday

And queen you have to spill the beans

dontcallmehon · 02/11/2013 09:21

I agree, stupidhead - meet up with tall manager. I had to cancel a couple of arranged dates because I met someone I liked better. I was actually intending to multi date - but I can't do it.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 02/11/2013 09:33

Aww it's not fair he's a lovely guy just grim in the sack or he was then. (About ten years ago).

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 10:16

Queen????!!!!!

ManofMystery · 02/11/2013 10:33

You lot are hilarious! Small cocks, thin cocks, massive cocks...how have I got this far, god knows!

I do think sex is like driving-everyone thinks they are amazing but probably only a few are. It takes effort, time etc and you need to learn from mistakes...

To balance this out, I have certainly had some crap sex (and I like to think not due to me hammering away!) but I haven't broke things off with them for it. Usually some guidance tends to work...

Anyway, date night-I better sort some clothes. And clean the bathroom of course...

GivesYouHell · 02/11/2013 10:36

Hello all - been here before. Just out of a relationship which ended horribly. Thank god for mumsnet showing me the meaning of gaslighting or I'd be a complete puddle on the floor now as opposed to a partial one.

I've gone back onto pof and am chatting to a few people. I need to learn to be less nice and stop accepting shoddy treatment without complaint. I'm hoping that you might all help me fine tune my radar?

So...I'm chatting to the Londoner - like the sound of him. And an irish guy who sounds like fun. Both literate and polite so far!

Hey Bant, good to see the Unbant version gone and the real you back!

melanie58 · 02/11/2013 10:40

How did Black Pepper Woman date go, Ordinary?

Queenofthedrivensnow · 02/11/2013 10:57

Hiya givesyouhell if it makes you feel crappy thru need to be binned

feelinlucky · 02/11/2013 11:07

Hi all, just checking in with an update. I've been a cou

feelinlucky · 02/11/2013 11:07

Oops too early.

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 11:08

Welcome back givesyouhell MN did the same for me too, eternally grateful.
We can help with the radar for sure.

manofmystery agree with the analogy, sex always gets better in my humble opinion, you have to learn what each other likes and the more you feel for each other the better it gets too.
Good luck with the date tonight, is this a first date?? Yes def clean the bathroom

So queen no good avoiding the questioning!

feelinlucky · 02/11/2013 11:10

I've been on a couple of dates recently and I'm getting to the point where I just don't know what I'm looking for. I had a nice but brief date with someone last night, who, on paper is just what I'm looking for. He's quirky, creative, well educated, not bad looking and is kind and sweet. But... He's never had a relationship over 18 months and he's 39. Is that a bit strange or am I reading too much into it? Come to think if it, my friends has been single forever and she's lovely.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 02/11/2013 11:38

Man I hope I don't need to remind you about loo roll....

ManofMystery · 02/11/2013 13:07

Gaga-yep, first date and a blind one at that! She does seem a bit young but I am going with an open mind...

As for the driving thing, I would be interested to know if men shag like they drive. You know the tools on the road who are aggressive and make you feel uncomfortable to be in the car with them. And they certainly won't take any constructive feedback. Often it has nothing to so with the car they have but how they drive it. Saying that, the ones with the flashy stuff just like to show off and think they know it all...;)

Queen-loo roll? I am not cooking so no fear of running out! Actually she won't be getting an invite back, no matter how well it goes. What sort of man do you think I am??!

lovelybunchofcoconuts · 02/11/2013 13:34

Afternoon everyone

I'm from the previous threads, just going to have a read through.....

Bessy5678 · 02/11/2013 13:53

Thank god I found this thread, I joined POF this week after being single since the beginning of the year and thinking I wanted to meet some new people, have a few dates and some fun! Oh dear, I wasn't expecting the messages! I've 'played' the game with a couple of them but now realise that this is what these guys do and they won't go on dates, well with me anyway!!. And what's with the requests for pictures??? At least I now know that it's the same for everyone and I'm not attracting all the weirdos!!

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 13:57

Manofmystery you're a man tho! Sorry cynical me

hi bunch it's crazy and eye opening on here!

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 14:36

Bessy yes I too have met ones like that, they usually the ones that aren't single

Bessy5678 · 02/11/2013 14:48

Hormonal - thanks for the tip, I shall avoid them from now on!! I did get talking to a really nice guy, we had a lot of common interests but he wanted children and it's not an option for me - shame :(

Has anyone actually had any success on POF?

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 16:42

Well I got a date in 20 minutes, soooooo nervous!!! Been on loads of dates from pof bessy, some good most bad but never mind....

This one I have high hopes for but am not getting too excited
