MAFS6- where the sliding into dms does not require lube and a fish slice

[SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard]

I’ve lost my nip.

Sorry - went a bit informal there your majesty

Apologies everyone, shamelessly placemarking, I have to keep searching through the threads, I am a real lurker!

@SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard

Thank fuck you think the same lillibetty

Likewise @SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard and be as informal as you want! In fact, I insist (for the relief of the view-sharing) 👍🏻

I've paraphrased, but none of her comments are about Luke in the slightest, they're all about her.

Morag was all about Morag before they got married. I remember her saying 'what if I don't like him, what if I don't fancy him' before the wedding. All about her - there was no 'what if he doesn't like/ fancy me' like it was a foregone conclusion any mam would fancy her.

She's awful. I feel sorry for her as she's grieving but she has just been offensive and nasty to Luke. Very disappointed he didn't have a backbone and leave tonight.

I think Megan is really pretty! I don't like everything she wears/all of her styling but I think she is attractive.

Does anyone else think that Morag should have been matched with Frankie whilst Maralise and Luke would have been great together?
Frankie can't be in a relationship with someone who wants the man to take charge. I know his type, they want to call themselves alpha but they do better with a strong woman at the helm of the relationship. Maralise asked for a man who would take the lead, but what she really was asking for was someone who would look after her and take the pressure off.

Okay, I'm going to try and put my two pennies worth in, even though I've been lurking-

Morag is am absolute nightmare, what an awful person - having said that I have little respect for luke being so blindsided, putting up with her constant put me downs, and terrible comments- he is a man, a genuine decent guy. I feel incredibly sad for him that he is so vulnerable and desperate he doesn't see his worth, she clearly thinks she's something special and she is not.

Ant & alexis- I feel very sad for her, having such a hard time, but respect for ant for being honest- if you're not feeling it, at least he's true to his feelings and to her

Megan & Bob- from what I've seen on these threads, bobs not all he makes out to be, and the constant "let's have a go" at Meg, makes me very uncomfortable- anybody would think she had killed a kitten. As for the comments on her appearance, shame on you guys, she is very beautiful and is looking lovely and comfortable.

Wanky & marilyse - I don't like him much, but I've been in relationships with ex forces men and all thier beliefs and issues. He has problems but she handling him class, understanding and a big set of balls. I have alot of respect for her. It's not easy being with a man like him, and all the issues in his mind - however I would like to see her get rid, but I don't think she will.

Amy & josh - i can see this relationship growing. Morag was an absolute bitch for bringing up the past in an audience like that, all about her. However, Amy's immaturity really annoys me. You can see josh now making an effort, but i didn't appreciate how he spoke to her during the confrontation with Morag. He should have asked for morag to be removed, not his "wife"

Daniel and matt- personally I think the most genuine people (Exception of luke) there. Will they last? I don't know, but I think they are there for the right reasons.

Tayah & Adam- tayah is major red flags to me, with what she has been through and her desperation to have a baby, very uncomfortable watching with the baby talk, I say this as a woman who had to have ivf at at very young age. It seems she Will make love happen to have the family she feels she is missing. Its actually quite sad. However I do think they fancy the pants off each other and have a connection. Just wish she would enjoy being in a couple, rather than just forcing the future. Feel Adam just goes along with it. Having said all this,. I've known loss and know the feeling of not being a woman and wanting a family. It's complex...

Have I missed anyone? Will Post this and re-read my ramblings.

No - I think you’ve got everyone that is left yellow

Also I must add, how sad it is to see alexia going through a hard time, when she is so beautiful ans outgoing when she connects with someone, that first dinner party with ant, and shes laughing and flirting, how beautiful she was. Such a shame to see her constantly downtrodden. I hope she finds happiness in her near future.

Can somebody please tell me who I have missed

(Ps. Also lurked on the MAFS Aus threads, lol)

@SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard

No - I think you’ve got everyone that is left yellow

Thank you, and thank for the acknowledgement, I have been lurking for all the MAFS threads for so long. As others have said, all the MAFS threads have been better than the actual programmes! I love your posts!

Alexis and Ant and Bob and Megan made the right decisions tonight. Well done. I think Alexis is beautiful but tricky, hope she finds someone strong and compassionate but I fear the worst.

Not sure what Marylise is up to. She comes across as the most intelligent of the group and I'm sure she has the measure of Franky ... she knows it's not right. I was quite surprised by her decision.

I wonder if Megan would have liked any of the other boys? I can't see it tbh. And who would Ant have gone for - or is he actually the MAFS equivalent of Hugo?

As someone that has been in relationships with the wanky type - they are incredibly complex and can be wonderful, loyal and respectful. I think marylise isn't stupid and can hold her own- and she's seeing him for who he is, but she's strong enough to pull him up on his actions. I actually think they might last, if she can get the measure of him and stand up to his views on women. Men like this are incredibly insecure, thier defence comes from a place of self doubt. I think marylise had the strength to see through his shit and call him out. I dont like him, but she is stronger than she is coming across right now.

I think we might be in the minority re Fwanky yellow

I’ve worked alongside people like him and although he has been a bit of an arse sometimes on this, I don’t get the scary vibes that most others are.

If anything, Jordon’s behaviour concerned me a lot more.

I also don’t think Marilyse is as meek as she has made on.

If I’m wrong, then I’ll take it on the chin.

What is your view on the experts - seeing as how you have delivered yellow?

Ps you only missed Jordon and Nikita I think. But I’ve been up since 4 and am running on fumes 😵‍💫

Oops - x post.

I'm re-watching the girls/boys day and have to say, again, I cannot stand Morag, she is absolutely vile. Just getting a reminder of her saying if a man that were her "type" slid into her DM she didn't know what she would do...

And then denied it, at the dinner party in front of luke, she is truly an awful person - clearly just on the show for attention. Luke is so insecure, I think he would take anything on.

Sorry @SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard, now I've started posting, it all coming out like a bad case of diarrhea

I do understand the vibes people are getting from wanky, if they have no experience of ex-forces. I have no idea why, but I have had 2 previous relationships with men from forces, and long term (current) forces. They all ha different roles in the forces.
I see alot in wanky, in my previous and current relationships. The way wanky wants to keep things private, - I think this is a forces thing, and something they are taught to keep strong whilst serving. There's no time or space to be emotional. They can and are, extremely respectful, private and sometimes come across as hard faced. It's hard for others to understand. At the same time, they are insecure, unsure and need understanding, love and a whole world of patience.
Marylise is pretty good with him, she so far IMO has called him out when he has turned into himself and treated her badly. They need reminding that they aren't in the army and there's no need to be the alpha male.

Totally agree, that Jordan was far more scary, his absolute no emotion, no feeling and disassociation with anything was absolute red flags, with seemingly no cause.

I think the experts are mostly in it for good tv, I dont know what gives them the expertise to match people. I dont think they get it totally wrong, but obviously having been lurking on this thread and seeing the majority have been on reality TV before, means it is all for ratings - we are all falling for it, obviously, but its all good fun!

Plus, most "normal" people wouldn't be applying for this show, anyway.

Hope this actually makes sense, like you, I'm running on very little sleep

Aye it makes sense to me.

Even if I am running on fumes!

Do keep posting yellow. Don’t worry about the “now I've started posting, it all coming out like a bad case of diarrhea ”

I (as my nan used to say) just open my mouth and let my belly rumble….

Far too often 😳🤫🤐

Haha @SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard, looks like just me and you at this stupid hour, like I've said I've been lurking on all the MAFS threads for the longest time, almost gave up on this UK one but got sucked back in, got sick of trying to find the current MAFS thread by googling. Thought it was time to put a word in

@Yellowcrockpot interesting take on Franky.

I admit I struggle to watch him sometimes because he's like the (plus twenty years) version of my ex-husband.

Real man this, real man that. Until you actually need a man to do something.

The don't tell other people thing as well. Everything behind closed doors and a united (and smitten) front in public, at all costs. Or else.

They grind you down until you barely recognise the "strong independent woman" you keep telling yourself you are. I shuddered when they got back to their seat and Maryalise knew she'd probably said to much and was trying to figure out how mad he was.

What I do find amusing is the constant raised eyebrows, exchanged glances, expert's comments etc when Franky pops up with a red flag, but you never see it to that extent with 'Moo' who is, imo, 100% an abuser.

I seriously hope Franky boy starts telling Maryalise how to dress, or that she should really start waxing her fairy because it's not feminine enough, just so somebody on the show can call it what it is. Abuse!

I’ve arrived, not kicking down Bob’s door even if he’s moved to Wiltshire and joined the organisation I work for! I don’t do men that cry more than I do, and I’ve cried a lot lately so that’s saying something…

Re Wanky, I don’t think most guys in the Forces are really like that now. Certainly the ones I’ve met have been all into online gaming and the stock market rather than drinking and shagging. Plus he’s been out of the Army for 16 years, you’d think some of that crap might have worn off a bit by now, but then maybe that’s why he’s on the show. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Glad you got there safe sunbird

I would bloody well hope that it isn’t like that now - my experiences were some time ago as I’m a bit of a gimmer.

The hard edges were definitely there and needed.

But, as you say, his should have rounded off a bit by now.

Still think that Marilyse has a side to her that has yet to pop out.

Sadly though, I think that the ‘stay’ is simply for exposure. Or a springboard. Or both.

I’m not sure if she is interested in him at all. And maybe he is feeling that.

Who knows?

JamesWilbysAbs "Anonymous letters? Have the producers no integrity??? It's become a reality game show."

I agree it's not very classy, a bit poison pen.

The Australian version had them meeting up in pairs to look at their relationship with another person from another couple. It's often going to be a chance for a bit of an argument, it was Jessika and Mike who were not very interested in each other's opinions! But the other couples may have been better. The anonymous letter just allows people to hide and not be accountable!

Mycatcontrolsmymovements "I'm starting to find this all a bit uncomfortable. Its like people are being honest and saying I don't really love them, and yet there is all this pressure on people to force themselves to do stuff they aren't comfortable with with."

I agree. I seems as if it's OK for Ant to say he isn't interested but when Meg says it everyone is cross with her.

I am not sure what Any and Alexis where thinking wanting to stay in the spotlight like this. At least in the Australian one there was some degree of being interested in the other person!

All I could see for the first 10 mins were Moobag’s nipples, nearly had my eye out.
Glad some of the couples had the good Grace to leave.
I find the comments about Megan really surprising, I think she is really stunning. I admire the fact she has such a strong sense of style. It’s not mine but she wears everything with such sass.
I think she’s by far the most beautiful of the women.
Bob’s gold chains and chest hair reminds me of the 80s, has that look come around again?
The term I really don’t like in this series is stick it on him. Sounds so grim.
