@JangolinaPitt

Obviously can’t answer for *@ButterflyOfShay* but ime the best two lovers I have had ever (including current) were the least ‘endowed’ dong-wise.
Yes in my (admittedly not very extensive) experience there's been no particular correlation between size and enjoyment levels. I think the widespread assumption that there is, is based on a widespread misunderstanding of how the female body works (and specifically what triggers orgasms)

Haven’t been on much this week as things have dried up, mr offshore has ghosted despite being back home, everything else has fizzled out so now I’m ironless and feeling abit disheartened. I managed zero dates in January and not sure where I’m going wrong

That was , energetic !

He had flatmates 🙈
Now I’m left wondering what will happen
I hate this bit !!
But listen , don’t do casual if I can’t take it

Sorry not read anyone updates was so nervous

gelatodipistacchio · 04/02/2022 23:18

@Thisisworsethananticpated sounds positive overall???

Thisisworsethananticpated · 04/02/2022 23:31

If was positive in that I was horny and fancied him
So great 😀
But now in the what’s next
Do I like him
Does he like me
Head fuck a bit

VanGoghsDog · 05/02/2022 00:02

Agree not much, if any, correlation between size of appendage and satisfaction, for loads of reasons.

I think it's just bodies - some work for you, some don't; some 'fit', some don't; some turn you on, some don't; some hit 'that' spot, some don't. There's little rhyme or reason and it's a good job too or we'd all be chasing the same two blokes!

Sounds incredibly hot! Did you go for a drink first?
curmudgeonly007 · 05/02/2022 07:30

I thought that would be the case, I’ve never had any complaints (about that), unless ppl were just being polite 😂😂😂

My Ex used to complain that I wasn’t dominant enough (for her), in the bedroom, but she used like being restrained and that kinda thing didn’t really float my boat.

ButterflyOfShay · 05/02/2022 08:05

Looking back it was a blessing it wouldn’t stay hard so it never happened in the end. But 100% size means nothing.

@Thisisworsethananticpated you are so brave!! Haha. Is this the guy you went on a date the other week or a new one? x

Thisisworsethananticpated · 05/02/2022 09:31

Daydreamscometrue
It was !!! I’m in shock it was very hot
Went for a drink and then pounced on each other and got an Uber back
There was no shyness

ButterflyOfShay
Yes , the one I like as a person too ,

Hey I’m glad I had the experience

And you know what I remember the meme Bella posted a few weeks back

If a guy likes you , you’ll know it
And if he doesn’t , you’ll be confused

Thisisworsethananticpated · 05/02/2022 12:12

ihavetogoshoppingnow

When it gets like this , take temporary break
Get self esteem back outside of the men
Laugh with friends
Get chirpier
Then new profile , different site

I can’t do it when I’m feeling flat
Peaks and troughs

Gettingonwithit12 · 05/02/2022 17:10

@Thisisworsethananticpated sounds like you had an excellent night!

Can I ask another question of you wise ones? After not much action since starting OLD I have managed to meet two guys, both seems really nice on a first meet and have agreed to second dates with both this weekend. Is this ok? It feel bad/guilty as have never been in this position before! But then I guess there is every chance they are doing the same thing? I am so out of practice in this new dating world Grin

It’s fine to do this, you’ve just promised to see them, not marry them!

Badbaddog · 05/02/2022 17:39

The tumbleweed on this thread suggests the London meet-up is going on - have a great time everyone, I’m dying to hear how it goes! (I was in central London yesterday, so weird after two years away because of Covid - came home utterly exhausted, so no change there!)

I doubt you are doing anything wrong, but When the fun stops, stop.
Gettingonwithit12 · 05/02/2022 18:12

Thanks @Badbaddog! I am just overthinking I think as it’s a novel situation for me

Thisisworsethananticpated · 05/02/2022 18:20

Now then now then !

Thisisworsethananticpated · 05/02/2022 18:21

Gettingonwithit12
You do you !
I’m still in shock from my second date
Hope yours calmer (well at least one 😂)

Bangheadhere40 · 05/02/2022 18:21

Quiet today as everyone having a fab time at the meet.

I've told them already but I got dumped today by Mr Farmer. I came down with covid yesterday whilst at his house, I decided to come home as he said 'ideally you'd go home but I won't make you'. I said no problem I'll go as don't want you to catch.

I get a text today saying we aren't compatible, the main point being his dog doesn't like cats and I have 2 and he couldn't put his dog through it. Also he is a morning person and I'm not ( yes I slept in until 12 as I had covid).

I said thanks for letting me know. This is the guy that asked me to be his girlfriend last weekend. He's just messaged again saying thanks for being so understanding and he hopes we can be mates and he's glad we met.

Yeah right...you dumped me when I'm poorly and sent me home, and put your dog above us. I've ignored.

Bangheadhere40 · 05/02/2022 18:25

To quote " I can't put my dog through it, I hope you understand " wtf

Badbaddog · 05/02/2022 18:32

Oh my god @Bangheadhere40 I’m so sorry! What a complete loser he is! This makes no sense anyway. It’s your cat he should have been worried about surely, not his dog?? I’m flabbergasted! Big hugs and flowers to you 💐💐💐

curmudgeonly007 · 05/02/2022 18:33

@Thisisworsethananticpated

curmudgeonly007 Now then now then !
Sorry, heard a few weeks back that someone I knew was in a hospice, found out he died this morning
Bangheadhere40 · 05/02/2022 18:33

His dog is scared of cats and he couldn't put her through it! Also he's a morning person and I'm not and we like different things on TV.

I find it quite amusing really....but to do by text when I'm ill is pretty shit.

Well, quite. I’m still flabbergasted though! I hope you feel better soon
