We don't have get through these at speed....

The Rules

  1. The first rule about the dating thread is you don't talk about it with people you're dating.
  2. Develop a thick skin
  3. Do no invest emotionally too soon
  4. It's all BS until it actually happens
  5. Trust your gut instinct
  6. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault
  7. You are the prize - they should be trying to impress you
  8. If it's not fun- stop
  9. Loo update is mandatory
10. No dating the thread 11. Read Why Men Love Bitches, and take from it what you will

Who needs a man when there is Simon Reeve on the telly. Sigh.

I did read that article, made me laugh. I have also read a fair few profiles with men moaning about how women like bearded tattoo men! Prior to Bee, I was quite anti-beard...

My ex had a beard so I'm totally beard-phobic now.

I wouldn't be a big fan of beards but Bear(d) Ha ha!? has one. I'm used to it, on him. I'm thinking of summonsing Bear to come and meet some of my immediate needs. He would oblige. I'm getting impatient. I am messaging one guy and he seems easy to talk to, straight forward but with some wit. I think I can handle it. I am still looking for what I'm looking for but maybe there is more of a male side emerging. My animus, Bear would say. Messaging messaging messaging....... and no sex.

Hang on, I slept with H. But that was two weeks ago. I've forgotten that. Once off. I hate once off sex. Did I tell you all, and this is very crude, so clutch your pearls, but for a man of 6'2" his penis was not that big. It was very average size. Weird that. I was terrified. NO NEED, on any level.

Some 26 year old with a hipster beard has just messaged me on OKC Grin I won't be replying ...

I've never found height and, ahem, size, to be related, 314

Mag314 · 14/02/2016 20:43

I get that gast

My x, the children's dad, he looked like something out of an economist ad. Looked like he was advertising a watch. Like he had his own tailor, bespoke shoes, clean-shaven, good hair cut, he loved himself. He actually turned himself on I reckon. He hasn't put on weight or gone grey. So rightly or wrongly, I trust men who don't take their appearance quite so seriously. Even at the weekend my x wore Ted Baker and Paul Smith and liked to look himself up and down in the mirror with a gimlet eye before he went out. He completely loved himself.

My STBX is an overweight alcoholic who always looks grumpy, and who doesn't care what he wears (as in clothes that are too short, are scruffy/full of holes). I want the opposite!

BatshitCrazyWoman · 14/02/2016 20:58

He's still a prick though.

Takes more than quinoa and yoga to change that ....

BatshitCrazyWoman · 14/02/2016 21:01

That's a massive understatement, DeeDee !

BornToFolk · 14/02/2016 21:07

Bristlr you say? I bloody love a beard Grin I'm prepared to put up with all sorts of non-communicative weirdness from Mears purely for the fact he has a lovely big beard...and tattoos...and a proper muscly body....sigh

ExP had a stupid little beard for many years. It's gone now, along with half his body weight. And morals. And sense of humour. I'm well rid Grin

cattychatty · 14/02/2016 21:10

Me too I'd love a shag if I'd known last Friday was goin to be my last shag for a bit it wouldn't have been a quickie on the sofa :/

BatshitCrazyWoman · 14/02/2016 21:12

Another one who'd love a shag here (also on the wine tonight ...)

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 21:12

We are all sexually frustrated on here
I dont mind a beard either
Still clutching my credit card thinking about the 5 messages on match hmmm

Mag314 · 14/02/2016 21:12

Well, after messaging back and forth for about two hours, quite easily, I've just said to him ''maybe I should hold something back, see if you want to meet up in real life!''. So now we will see. He might disappear back in to the ether.

Mag314 · 14/02/2016 21:14

waving the biggest dingdong I ever encountered was on the body of fake buddist, 5'9". How weird. His was too big. I was at the gp gettinng anti biotics every second week.
