Hate OLD!

[Newsinglemum58]

Don't think I can do OLD. Tried it a number of times and always end up deleting my profile. I just hate it..... fake profiles, creepy guys, avoidant men or are only out to waste your time....

In these times it's not exactly easy meeting people in everyday life.... what other options are there or should I buy a few cats and give up now?!

It's good to know I'm not the only one who has struggled with it. Great for those who like OLD and it has worked for them. We all are different I guess and certain things won't work for everyone depending on their past experiences etc

Reading through I am genuinely confused with so many woman wanting FWB (Fuck buddies). I know men are always out for that but they have to usually lie and say they are looking for a late, marriage, life partner etc to get it then dump woman at around the 3-6 month before catching feelings.

Don't get why any woman who make it so cheap and easy for men by admitting they want Feb. Isn't it telling them...you don't need attention, spoiling, romancing, time invested but etc...that you are happy with a text and into the bed? Why aren't woman demanding more??

You never have to tell a man you want FWB because they lie to get. Chances are any relationship you think you are in early days is FWB anyway but he is giving you some benefits by working a little bit for it. Why let him have his benefits and just put out for him. Nothing in it for you. I find it really wierd.

I wanted FWB when I went into OLD because I like sex but thought I was done with committed relationships, having had a lot that were pretty shit. Seemed right to be open about what I wanted. Certainly wasn’t wanting to fall in love - at the time I felt I was totally over all that.

As it turned out, I wasn’t over falling in love at all, I just thought I was..... Of all the curve-balls life has thrown me, this one has certainly been the best!

@Lovelydiscusfish awww 🥰 that's lovely... what we are looking for or wanting we don't always get and vice versa....

Now I've deleted bumble lol! The first lockdown I got talking to someone but we never met. I actually think we would have got on if we met face to face but wasnt meant to be. I dont like being in them situations and it's too common in lockdown

I was thinking about the ways I met fellas in Real Life previously. They included:

At a friend’s party
Through university course
Through volunteering
At work
In the local pub (once, through dancing to karaoke while he was singing)
At the school gates (single dad)
Introduced by mutual friends

None of these alas are very really possibilities for people in lock-down, alas.....

I imagine delivery people and the like must be getting a lot of offers at the moment - all my single friends and family get very excited when they have got somebody coming round to deliver or fix something these days!
