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!

I’m average height but have some very high heeled shoes which I like to wear. Now I look like a giant in said shoes compared to the fella du jour then it won’t be for much longer. I realise it’s vain but it’s saying something when I’m picking a pair of shoes over a guy. Also I like big bear hugs which simply aren’t the same if you’re shorter than me heels or no heels .

Hi @HairyArsedMan
Yes please!!
GSM BrokeOut (not sure if I can give out details - but, as no one has even looked at my profile, I think I am ok.

HairyArsedMan · 04/04/2019 20:39

I like that Batshit - permission to steal ?

Sidge · 04/04/2019 20:40

Lol @Mythologies I deleted his number unfortunately, but if you’re in my area and on Bumble and Tinder I’ll point him out to you!

I put my height on my profile indirectly - my blurb said I was short, blonde and had very small feet which seemed to be quite the icebreaker for lots of guys! I.e. how short and how small...

None seemed put off that I was only 5 foot 1. I guess they wouldnt have swiped if they actually read it - but most seem to just look at the pictures I reckon...

HairyArsedMan · 04/04/2019 20:41

@Mythologies I don't know what GSM is ? Could you pm a PoF link or screenshot(s) perhaps ?

Mythologies · 04/04/2019 20:42

Batshit Grin

ItsAMiracle2015 · 04/04/2019 20:43

Just had the 6'8 man message me back saying he'll have to get on his knees when he's with me but apparently I'd like that. Yes. Yes I would.

Mythologies · 04/04/2019 20:44

@HairyArsedMan Guardian Soulmates - subscription.
Not on PoF
Will try to pm a screen shot ...

HairyArsedMan · 04/04/2019 20:47

Ah I've thought about using that @Mythologies . I'll go with a trial of it later and look you up.

JeSuisPrest · 04/04/2019 20:48

Tentative coffee date arranged with MrBridge for week after next - were both off with kids/away next week. 👍

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 04/04/2019 20:54

itsAmiracle dreamy!! 😂

Bloody hell I want a super tall smoking sex pirate so bad..might advertise for one on fab 😂

surlycurly · 04/04/2019 20:56

Ooooh I just found this thread! I'm also hopelessly dating, and looking for tall men. But I'm five ten so I think I'm allowed. How's it all going?

Mythologies · 04/04/2019 20:59

Thank you *Hairy - you might have to - I can't work out how to attach images to pms Confused

BatshitCrazyWoman · 04/04/2019 21:00

Permission granted, Hairy

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 04/04/2019 21:13

Welcome surley I’m 5.9 but 6 fit in heels so yes we are allowed to look for tall I think. The whole dating thing is soo superficial we may as well set our own rules

ItsAMiracle2015 · 04/04/2019 21:18

I'm 5'3 🙈😂😂😂😂

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 04/04/2019 21:21

You’re just greedy itsAmiracle trying to bag all the tall smokers

Howlingatthesun · 04/04/2019 21:22

For those who like tall men (or women) go to Germany or Holland. ! We have 2 women there who in heels are as tall as me (im6ft 2) there are 5 or 6 men who are 6.3-6.7.

Personally less than 5.6 is on the short side for me but then no man, ever, has said ‘oi, Kylie, no, you’re too short!

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 04/04/2019 21:26

I have found my sex pirate..don’t think he is within my radius on tinder though!

Literally perfection marlboro. Perfection.

JeSuisPrest · 04/04/2019 21:49

I've fobbed off MrSmiley from calling me. He's been bombarding me with messages - too much, too soon. Told him I was too busy to speak but would continue messaging. I'm barely replying but he seems to be having a conversation with himself even if I don't respond?! Confused

Still18atheart · 04/04/2019 21:56

jesuis Mr Smiley sounds a bit Hmm especially the text convos with himself

JeSuisPrest · 04/04/2019 22:01

Still18atheart I've just told him I'm going to bed. I got:

Him:Are you sure you don't want to chat?
3 minute gap
Him:OK babe, night night
5 minute gap
Him: Chat tomorrow OK?

ItsAMiracle2015 · 04/04/2019 22:02

Oh that's really cringe jeSuis is this on WhatsApp? As in can he see that you've seen the message(s)? 😑

StealthNinjaMum · 04/04/2019 22:07

Oh fuck jesuisprest I think I'd block someone who called me babe.
