So I just checked out the competition on a dating website...

[poshsinglemum]

And all the ladies are GEORGEOUS with lovely photpos and really exciting hobbies such as skiing, horseriding, surfing and bungee jumping and then there's me.

Single mum of one with no life at the moment as dd wants booboo all the time. Leaky boobs because of breastfeeding and no job so skint.

I want to cry. I'm applying for jobs but I feel so boring and mumsy.

All the sexy men want sexy women with no responsibilities.

oooh how exciting

Will you let us know what happens?

Get in LINE, hanaflower.

PSM - reading more of your message threads, not sure you and I would get on that well. I'm after a career women, so I can be the SAHP/SAHD.

Ladies, Ladies no fighting now

Hanaflower - love your profile picture. Does that represent a split personality

nannynick you are a gold-digger!

at nannynick turning out to be a golddigga

lol

Well my job is hardly going to support a family long term. Can't be a nanny all my life either.

oof, too much laughing and my CS stitches aren't out yet...!

I agree with everyone about being honest re the internet dating and trying not to feel intimidated by the other women on there - keep telling yourself you're a hottie (even if you initially find it hard to believe!) and do everything you can to stoke up your self-confidence. The one thing that sends potential dates haring in the opposite direction IME is the slightest whiff of desperation. So put on a smile and keep your chin up -the good news is you can fake self-confidence and it's one of the sexiest qualities anyone can project, IMO.

PS Is it time to start a MN dating forum, then?!!
PPS nannynick, you're shameless

Well I am glad to see there is hope for some of us yet. Well if a MN dating site is set up can I join please??

well, this thread has made my morning, because I am totally flummoxed by Nickelbabe, who is saddened that her ex did not put a picture on his dating profile of ALL his chicken!

sorry but pmsl.

i know it looks weird, but i'll explain

our chickens are most beloved pets: he always treated them like children (the closest he'd get because he never wanted to have babies) and he is obsessed with them. He put all the information about the chickens on his profile under pets. the fact that he lied and said that he couldn't put picture of all of them including the ex-batt made me think he was ashamed of her. Like, "oh these women i'm trying to pull can't see that i've got a manky, scraggy pet because it might count against me"
rather than being proud of rescuing her and taking her into our care, he was worried that she might make him look bad because she looks so scruffy.

Honest you mean No point pretending I'm not looking for someone to look after me.
I think there should be a MN dating section.

Nicklebabe, not sure I would have got as far as looking at a photo of the chickens. Had your ex sent me a message that is.

aw Nickelbabe-I feel sad for Rita! damnit the man should be proud of her!
your post did make me laugh though...

am trying to imagine the mind-set of a man who is worried that a picture of a scruffy chicken would put off potential love interest

and failing

He's your ex but you talk about "our" chickens. Do you have visiting rights or something? Sounds very strange.
Any bloke who is a pet obsessive would put me off, suspect if you're into blokes with chickens the fact that he's missed one out wouldn't matter.

rebecca: it does sound a bit strange, doesn't it?

i always wanted chickens, so we got some, and i've left, but the chickens had to stay (no room in my new "garden" for them) so i go there to look after them (we take it in turns). so they're still "our" chickens.
it's just like custody with children!

Where am I??!

This thread has taken a surreal turn, suddenly...

Tug of love chickens!!

Bless!

I can understand about the chickens. I had to give mine to my parents. They used to watch tv with us. Wierd yes I know.

thanks Lou

aww, i can just imagine them watching tv.
