Came up on my Facebook memories today …

I put this on Facebook back in 2019. This is precisely why I haven’t been on a date - since 2019 in fact! I don’t miss it to be honest.

‘Is it really asking the impossible to source a potential love interest who isn’t:
a) 5 foot 6 or under
b) claims to be “early 50s” but obviously had a hard paper round, presumably in Raqqa
c) says they’re a “half glass full type of person”
d) the hilarious byline about “own hair and teeth” 🙄
e)Romford’s answer to Christian Gray
f) married, but looking for “fun”
g) doing any of the following in profile photo: leaning on bonnet of “flash motah”/holding a large fish/scaling K2/spelunking/potholing/hang gliding etc etc (the list is endless)
h) liking a cheeky — (insert as applicable) red wine/weekend away/night out
i) clearly having been in possession of your pension book for some time or conversely, a teenager looking for a Mrs Robinson type experience.
j) experiencing a mid-life crisis of some description and having acquired the “flash motah” and having hit the mid-50s, only wanting to date women 20 years younger, so you can prove you’ve still “got it”
k) posing in a bare chested seedy “selfie” in bed whilst attempting a “seductive come-hither” stare

Apparently so.
This is not entirely an exhaustive list but you get the drift.’

I don't think OP is being unreasonable with her list

Maybe! But i guess my point - for someone who clearly doesnt want to be single -perhaps the list is telling!

Sometimes, we have to look at ourselves! As to why we arent getting our desired outcomes! Just sayin!

💯 with you OP!

What's wrong with g)?
Surely it's better that they've got hobbies instead of being a boring sod. Plenty of women have photos of them during nights out with a cocktail in their hand..

RosaMoline · 25/10/2023 09:58

No, I don’t think I’m ‘God’s gift to womankind’ actually. I’m a middle aged lady with cats 😂
Happy to be single for the foreseeable too!

@caerdydd12 - because it’s such a cliche on these sites!

Or maybe it's just representative of men that age and the hobbies they like? If you look for 20-30 year olds you'll no doubt get men at the pub or at the football.

Did you write that or is it one of those chain mail things that you copy and paste?

RosaMoline · 25/10/2023 10:28

@looking4pup - all my own work!

I could have written that myself OP. Just to add is there anyone on OLD who doesn’t put their typical Sunday as ‘a long walk followed by a roast’

And could live to be 200 and I’ll never understand the giant fish photo to attract the ladies 🤣
