Hello and welcome.

neil cher in a headlock... nearly choked laughing at that one!

neiljames77 · 08/05/2014 22:56

I think people can see by a profile pic whether you're fake or not. I've seen some profile pics of women that look like Lily Savage and the site said "we've found you a match"!!!!!! .................cheeky bastards.

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 22:57

neil that's mean... but funny

Rummikub · 08/05/2014 23:01

Oh my god, then how do you get that across about being natural, and not have it interpreted as you like to let hair grow wild and free??

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:02

tbh tho... not sure how you could pick out a ladette from us normal naice girls from a pic... unless its a group shot in a pub or something Hmm

I think you jist have to be yourself and if people don't like the look of you that is their loss

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:03

rummi you could put a clean shaven armpit shot up as one of your other pics. .. not the profile one just for purposes of clarity Grin

Rummikub · 08/05/2014 23:03

Grin Grin that made me snort!

Ok so I also put a no make up pic to put someone off. So leave that up?!

Rummikub · 08/05/2014 23:05

Oh no, I only groom if I know I'm taking my clothes off.

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:13

rummi I have left de-fuzzing till the morning... Grin

I was told you just need 1 pic of you smiling and looking happy that is all Smile

Bigbird01 · 08/05/2014 23:15

Ha ha neil - I hadn't thought of it like that! Actually I usually save the Dutch oven until the 3rd date at least!! Grin

Love the suggestion white maybe that's what I'm doing wrong!! Confused

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:16

jeez bigbird haven't heard dutch oven since I was in school pmsl

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:18

rummi take em all down exceot for a nice smiley one.

anyone who isn't interested can jog right on... and go find lilly savage lookalikes in neils town Grin

Rummikub · 08/05/2014 23:22

Ok will do thanks. Some men ask for more pics, so I thought right, you can have this one, to scare you! I get asked for full length too. Is that usual? I ask is this to see what size I am?! Cheeky fuckers.

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:29

I reckon full length is to see what size you are.
I personally don't see the point in millions of pics. if they are that interested in what you look like they can bloody well ask you out for a coffee.

speaking to real life friends it seems that alot of men put these decades old pics up and look nothing like them... between that and the sultry arty pics and fish ones I think it's a cheek to question our real pic.
I would take a pic of mankini and rory bremner wig over a carp in the rain or black and white art house shite any day of the week Grin

neiljames77 · 08/05/2014 23:31

whitedoorbell - they wouldn't have any trouble finding them. They'd probably also have some mug sat next to them buying them double Baileys too.

handfulofcottonbuds · 08/05/2014 23:33

Cats! What is it with cats?!

Oh and I've never seen so many men standing by or on boats!

....and miserable faces describing themselves as confident and happy go lucky. I wouldn't want to sit opposite them for 2 minutes.

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:33

neil would imagine lilly savage types drinking snake bites or babycham! Grin

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:35

handful not seen any cats myself. .. am disappointed. may have to re-register to investgate

see that. .. re-register [runs way before they all slap my smug face]

Grin
whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:37

mr tinkerbell recommended speed dating... has anyone ever done that?

I would be terrified. sat there with my mouth opening and shutting for the first 29 seconds then just stutter out "d'you come here often?" before beep... move seats ladies... nightmare

handfulofcottonbuds · 08/05/2014 23:40

I've just been let down gently by cat man in the nicest way.

It seems he is allergic to women who have DCs as he wants his own.

Not bothered, I'm allergic to cats!

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:43

handful dry yr eyes love.. he probably wasn't that special Grin

in poundland got oven pride on special offer if you fancy sprucing up yr grill pan? Grin

handfulofcottonbuds · 08/05/2014 23:49

I'm okay, I have a tough shell - moving on......

I saw that in Poundland, it's a smaller box than in the supermarkets though.

whitedoorbell · 08/05/2014 23:50

lol brought mine up a treat.

onwards and upwards to better things x

neiljames77 · 09/05/2014 00:00

I couldn't do the speed dating thing. I don't know the rules of it properly but if nobody picked me, I'd be devastated and join a monastery or something. Grin

Rummikub · 09/05/2014 00:54

I've always fancied the idea of speed dating. But couldn't go in my own. I've been to a couple of singles things in bars. They're quite good, no pressure, but everyone is single and approachable. (Not a pof event)

Well I feel like ive been dumped by the guy I've been chatting to. It's a weird feeling.
