I love Matt Hussey and his (sort of, quite) hot geeky brother.

I've had lots of therapy. I've had intensive therapy. 3 full days a week for 8 weeks.

The problem is those around me have not.

Including my recent ex, who needs it badly. Perhaps while in prison.

After all the therapy, I have realised that my major problem has been, and is

Simultaneously

Too many penises
Not enough penises

Brilliant assessment 😂😂😂🙄

I've come to the conclusion I'm not really looking for a life partner. Like, I think, @OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss I just want someone I fancy to spend time with, flirt with, bedroom activities, go on dates and the odd weekend away - not looking for anyone to be in my pocket as I have my own life and they need to have theirs and definitely not looking for someone to live with - I like my own space too much.

Have spent morning giving house a good tidy and clean ready for Mr medics first visit this evening 😀

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 14/10/2022 11:27

It's tonight @Slothmomma ! OMG that's very exciting for your both.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 14/10/2022 11:34

I think MrCurly's woeful lack of availability will mean he can't offer me the basics of meals/sleepovers/away weekends... Not at all ideal but won't bin him off before we've had at least another date together. He's ever so hot and hilarious. Ffs.

This is exactly what I want. Exactly.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 14/10/2022 11:52

@DoomsdayPrep basically a boyfriend/girlfriend not a live-in lover (husband/wife)

DoomsdayPrep · 14/10/2022 11:53

@Mila14

Perhaps someday I'll find the elusive solution to resolve the conflict between too many and not enough.

For now I'm consoling myself and preparing for the next member by buying vintage cashmere and silk tweed pencil skirts. Oh and several capes. The capes seem important.

DoomsdayPrep · 14/10/2022 11:56

@OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss, yes.

A classic, old fashioned boyfriend.

Mila14 · 14/10/2022 12:35

i can’t live with anyone either. I think a nice boyfriend that becomes life partner is what I am after. But I love having my place and living separately. I don’t want to live with a man even if I am crazy in love.
i have my kids too and they need order and structure
I think all the ladies here seem to agree we just don’t want to live 24/7 with our boyfriend …however… this might change when kids leave for Uni !

Mila14 · 14/10/2022 12:38

By the way. You know I erase telephone and messages when I’m not bothered. Mr Euro is back in London and wants to meet
Im already meeting a new iron next week…. We’ll call him mr F since we will meet when he’s back from NY and I have no kids
Slothy … have fun with Mr Medic
Oncey… when are you seeing Mr Curly?

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 14/10/2022 14:55

@Slothmomma an intrusive and delicate Q for you (and others) how rigourous are you about safe sex in these situations with new irons?
I'm appallingly slack and should really have a word with myself before the next adventures.

Slothmomma · 14/10/2022 15:13

@OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss I've already been out and purchased a new box of condoms. In addition to risking infections I'm peri menopausal so still have periods and could still end up pregnant which is absolutely the last thing I want

NoDatingForOldMen · 14/10/2022 15:17

wow so many updates

100% this.

an intrusive and delicate Q for you (and others) how rigourous are you about safe sex in these situations with new irons?
very, no glove, no love until clear SH tests on both sides

Too many penises, Not enough penises
what can I say, not a problem in these parts..

someone was seeing a young man, ohh YOUNG MAN…

question for the masses, if someone said “I love a good pounding”, that’s a sex reference right?

@Slothmomma good luck for tonight 🤞

You need so show him the full box (3, 6 or 12), and tell him he you expect to use them all, he will with think it’s Christmas, or faint or run, poor fella.

Bingbangboom · 14/10/2022 15:43

@Mila14 .. not quite.. I happen to think then unless a man commits to my family and lives with us he’s not really committed.. or at least you don’t really know a person unless you do live with them. I am also utterly sick of assumptions I want sex the first time they come to dinner on a third date.

Mila14 · 14/10/2022 15:57

I hear you @Bingbangboom !

NoDatingForOldMen · 14/10/2022 16:02

Just found this person on the U Tube, so funny..( is it true..)

oh the excitement builds

hehe 😂

Bingbangboom · 14/10/2022 16:15

@Mila14 I’ve given up the apps as really I’m done with ‘having fun’, liars, and men asking me to describe my body shape..(which is a size 8 with boobs-look at my fffing photos), my sexual preferences, multiple hook ups in the loop- despite being total strangers.I’m clearly not of the ‘fun’ stock. So of anyone would like to meet a burnt out, attractive 47 year old, two kids, decent job and take me out for a few months first to actually get to know me and my family I’ll be happy. I also do not wish to get some vile disease. Cynical.. you say!?

Thisisworsethananticpated · 14/10/2022 16:18

Too many penises
Not enough penises

you never forget your first dick pic 😂

but yes that nicely summarised my tinder summer of 2021

QueenConsort · 14/10/2022 17:24

I've had various sex pests today...I've just unmatched.

The one I cancelled on has messaged, I don't think he's got the hint. I'm not sure what to say, I would just ignore it if he didn't live so close.

bless him ! Saying what ?
