Dating thread 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 not 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. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

And a reminder - you don't know them until you know them!

JeSuis I detest car pics or mention of cars. I had a guy messaging that he has a merc so I can ride is style. Silly twat how does he know I am not driving a Bugatti veyron??

Mythologies · 08/04/2019 13:09

Malboro 😂

Neverexpected2 · 08/04/2019 13:12

Oh Marlboro I really hope not! Same height I'd be ok with (if he was) but I don't think I'd find shorter attractive 🤷‍♀️

Peanuthedz · 08/04/2019 13:13

Car is a no, big fast bike is a no. Any statement of financial worth. Nope. That'll be Mr Small Dick.

Peanuthedz · 08/04/2019 13:13

Mr Unsuitable is apparently my height. Actually he's at least 2 inches taller. So maybe he got it wrong that way

lifegoes · 08/04/2019 13:14

I'll now be reading every post in detail @Marlboroandmalbec34

If I see the following on a profile it's a no from me:

How much money they earn
Photos of cars or all photos of them in a gym
Bunny ear filters on a guy
Any form of bragging about lifestyle
Spider-Man outfits. (Yep, one guy had 7 pictures of him in different Spider-Man costumes)

TooOldForThis67 · 08/04/2019 13:14

peanut and Marlboro - no income here too. And I have actually measured a couple of guys!!
So, Mr Gardener has not long left after a lovely 2 day/night date! Would laughing too loud be a red flag? We'd been mixing our drinks while out watching a band. He was laughing really loud and I was a bit embarrassed as the band were playing at the time! But overall I love his sense of humour and his laugh is infectious. I guess I'm not used to it!!

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 08/04/2019 13:16

We have done this before but a pic of any of the following on a profile is a no from me..
Fish
Car
Motorbike
Kids
Ex
Drinking from beer cans
I do love the ones with dogs though but that’s because I am pooch mad!

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 08/04/2019 13:17

tooold I think laughing too loud would be awesome and infectious. He sounds great!

supercali77 · 08/04/2019 13:22

I was astonished when I saw a man once on tinder with a baby in a sling on his front. Dude wtf. Baby's fresh out the poke and you're using it as your profile pic? Things I swiped left on when I was swipin

Other women in pics
Babies or children at all
Any mention of 'knight in shining armour'
Cars
Memes
Snapchat filters
Bitter sounding bios

BatshitCrazyWoman · 08/04/2019 13:33

I met Mr Big Car on Fab Blush Wasn't looking for a date there and neither was he. Had no idea (obviously) that he is well off and has a real thing for cars. Has one car which (if cars are your thing) is a real head turner. People were taking pictures of it in the car park when we came back to it. He also has a rust bucket runaround like mine 😂 He's not in the slightest bit flashy because I hate that!

Yes have admitted to the beginning of feels, as has he ... just shows you can meet someone anywhere, even on a swinging site ...

MyOldBrainStoppedWorking · 08/04/2019 13:35

I had a random text today from an unknown number. Said "Hi how are you?".
Turned out to be someone from Fab. I'd given him my number about 2 weeks ago and heard nothing more. Now he wants a 'date' tomorrow evening.
Tempted but I said no thanks.

I've messaged last night's date to say it was nice meeting him. Up to him now. But I've just got the feeling that he was disappointed with me somehow.

Meanwhile, I've matched with a lovely beard/stubble on Tinder. There is a face pic as well. He's very chatty so far. And I just want to get my hands on the stubble Grin

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 08/04/2019 13:46

So happy for you batshit sounds great

myold I love running my fingers over a mans stubbly chin!

Peanuthedz · 08/04/2019 13:53

@lifegoes now there's an interesting kink. Spider-Man.

lifegoes · 08/04/2019 13:54

@Peanuthedz ha ha def wasn't for me

BatshitCrazyWoman · 08/04/2019 13:57

And Mr Big Car has a short beard, really, more than stubble. He's turned me 😂😂

Peanuthedz · 08/04/2019 13:57

Stubble. Nice. Mr u has a full dark beard. Sigh...

@TooOldForThis67
One of the things that put me off my last exclusive person was his huge loud head turning laugh. But also his loud voice. But it was more about what he was saying and what he was laughing about. If I'd liked him I'd have been all.... aw, what a lovely loud laugh he has.

Peanuthedz · 08/04/2019 14:01

Hahaha @BatshitCrazyWoman you see. Once you've had beard you want more. I actually prefer stubble to full beard. ESP if gingery.

I wonder if I'm going off Mr U. I'm getting a lot of iron envy. 😳 he's being quite moany. To be fair he's having a bit of a rough old time. We've been seeing each other about 6 weeks. Wonder if we'll make it to the three month hurdle.

TooOldForThis67 · 08/04/2019 14:03

Batshit - just out of curiosity, when I had a brief encounter with Fab, everyone was a bit kinky, varying levels but is it like that with MrCar? Sorry, that's really nosey and you don't have to answer, obviously but am dying to know, lol.

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 08/04/2019 14:10

toold all the guys I have spoken to / met who are on fab just seem to want sex but no one had been particularly kinky -or maybe I am just super kink so they seem vanilla 😂😂😂

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 08/04/2019 14:26

peanut gingery stubble 😍

TooOldForThis67 · 08/04/2019 14:35

Batshit - That's cool. I probably had a lot of kinkier ones msg me then. Put me off a bit lot as just thought it would be kink all the time. Glad you found a decent one.

CassettesAreCool · 08/04/2019 14:43

Marlboro my Mr Chemist on Fab stated he was kinky and just looking for sex but he is actually quite vanilla and wants desperately to be 'in love'. Whereas my Mr Mad on Tinder said he wanted a relationship and looks like a rather sweet old duffer (in his pics) but he is in fact very funny, wonderfully kinky and completely incapable of keeping it in his pants. It doesn't seem to matter where you meet someone, you can only tell what they're like by meeting and getting to know them and what they want by asking.

JeSuisPrest · 08/04/2019 14:56

I have a date with MrCornish on Saturday night! He doesn't mind where we go or what we do he "just wants me to have a good time..." oh dear, poor boy doesn't know what he's letting himself in for 😂
