Hi girls, hope some of you are still awake!
I wouldn't ordinarily post on a forum like this, but I've just been out with the guys (who I've got to say have done their level best to cheer me up) and I'm feeling a combination of a little low/sozzled, so I thought 'Hey, what the hell?'

I'm not looking for any magic bullet here, but I figure, who best to make sense of the cryptic minds of the fairer sex than a whole bunch of them together on the internet (fish in a barrel etc.)
Here's the skinny:
I'm getting to a certain age (40ihs) and realising that the ladies that I'm meeting, in a personal sense, just aren't cutting the mustard (broke up this week, my choice, but still an unhappy choice).
We had been together for a great 18 months, but I came to the conclusion that she didn't want me - she wanted what my lifesytle (even in this economic climate!). I suppose what I'm asking is 'How do I meet ordinary women?' And I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, I mean I want to meet 'real' women; ordinary if you will. I'm sure I'm making a fool of myself here, but taking risks is what I do for a living and that's what's got me to where I am today, so what the hell.
I await your slings and arrows!!!

I think the problem is the Bentley. It's just not a babe magnet.

Do you own a wine retail chain by any chance. What's with the name?

Isn't there another thread like this?

You need to go and and not drink, that always helps when you meet people. Sorry not much help.

GylesBandwidth · 23/10/2008 00:28

You use phrases like "here's the skinny".

I think that's probably the root of all your problems.

Hah, no Bentley for me - I prefer to 'rough it' on the tube! - The name, well that's a reference to a favourite movie character of mine, nevermind. Made a bit of a booboo of the title on here so I just did it all again with another title, but in answer ot your querstions - I'm not too fat, still got (most) of my own hair and I'm a bit of a Ghandi when it comes to killing creatures, even the eight-legged chaps!

Divorced, just north of 40, trim, (almost) deaf as a post due to rock guitar (hobby) and good with animals.
