Where to meet good women!

So this is my first thread on this forum, guess I'm looking for advice from women which is why I'm here. Could say I'm a long time reader first time poster, there are a lot of helpful and very friendly people here which is great!

I'm a 29 year old male with a decent job, my own place (a friend lives with me), good but demanding and busy job, my own fairly successful company too (more work..), but terrible luck with women.

It's not that I have trouble picking up girls, I've had my fair share of luck in that respect. It's finding good ones. My last girlfriend cheated on me with her ex about a year ago, we have been dating 14 months. That really knocked my confidence and I didn't go on a date for at least 6 months and not had anything remotely meaningful since.

Now in the movies, its easy. You go to a bookshop or an art gallery and start talking to a gorgeous brunette in a red dress who you take for coffee and live happily ever after. In real life, things aren't so simple. I've tried one or two dating websites but it isn't really for me.

Where do I go to find decent single women? Women who can hold a conversation with at least a little intelligence? I'm kinda picky and have high standards, but I make no apologies for that!

You can't have him, he must pick you. Like most fairytales. First he must make sure you are worthy. Maybe your too smart, too acerbic, too real, too much like the rest of us vipers...soz pocketSad

Well my pits and fanny are brunette but my head is currently blue... Soz...

how about the married man who had an affair and wants mn advice on how to'help' his wife get over his affair? That thread made me mad. This one makes me laugh. And some mners are willing to give them advice? It's going to get worse. I predict the next one will be a dick asking how to help women have a climax, or maybe suck them off better. Hey will some mners give them advice? Bastard sock balls ,great responses!

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 20:27

I'd better go, I need to online date, then head to choir, the coffee shop, running club etc, all while being witty, squishing my brunette locks in my red dress. He's going to find me!

coffeeisnectar · 11/01/2016 20:59

Have you tried lowering your very high standards?

Lweji · 11/01/2016 21:01

Of course he is Lweji. I am surprised you had to ask?

Couldn't think of a wittier comment to place mark. Sorry.

SoapandGloryisDivine · 11/01/2016 21:26

Try not sticking to a rigid checklist of high standards and you may start getting somewhere.

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 11/01/2016 21:51

"It's not that I have trouble picking up girls, I've had my fair share of luck in that respect. It's finding good ones."

So you're the common denominator then SS ;-)
OK, seriously, what went wrong with all these women? You've only mentioned the one that cheated on you, so what happened to all the rest?

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 11/01/2016 21:53

They picked the locks...

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 11/01/2016 22:19

Evening all, looks like you've given StrongSilent a lot to think about. We don't imagine you'll be hearing from him again btw. Wink

AnyFucker · 11/01/2016 22:24

Are these all the same twat ?

LilacSpunkMonkey · 11/01/2016 22:26

At least we can see through them, Anyfucker.

Chin up, stiff upper lip and all that.

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 22:43

666, you're killing me Grin

EmpressOfTheVulvaCupcakes · 11/01/2016 22:51

Go to Hull and get some advice from Brian.

maybebabybee · 11/01/2016 23:21

I genuinely don't understand why anyone thinks these are real.

YouBastardSockBalls · 12/01/2016 08:39

He's missing 'Hello Ladies!' at the top of his post though....Grin

goodnightdarthvader1 · 12/01/2016 09:15

Annnnnd this is still here. WTF is going on at MNHQ?

Lweji · 12/01/2016 09:16

Maybe they've just banned him.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 12/01/2016 09:20

But don't they normally delete threads by banned posters? Normally it seems they're deleting stuff all over the jeffing place.

Lweji · 12/01/2016 09:24

Who knows?
Maybe they are leaving it as warning of the treatment the trolls and WUMs get.

DrMorbius · 12/01/2016 09:28

I think once Op started to get replies on the hirsute nature of the "ladies" that frequent MN, he did a runner. After all he was kinda picky and did have high standards Blush

EmpressOfTheVulvaCupcakes · 12/01/2016 12:22

Given Helen's comment, I think they're leaving it for us to play with.

SoleBizzz · 12/01/2016 15:56

Haha
