My mate divorced within a year of marriage - and after licking his wounds and counting the cost he recently took his tentative first step back into dating and joined a site. Fast forward a few months and I've been regaled with stories of the encounters he's had - with at least ten great girls of all backgrounds, interests and sexual preferences too strong to outline in a nice family forum.


Put short he found it was a total hotbed of repressed deviancy and strings free fun - he dated a barrister, a make up artist, a dancer and a travel rep - all types.... and described the experience like "shooting very randy fish in a barrel".


The site in question?


Guardian Soulmates. Which of course has many non Guardian readers using it (although the name helps for respectability purposes).

Agree with Louisiana re match.com - inundated with winks/emails from tattooed, beer gutted, shaven headed men who all seem to come from Kent....with not a qualification between them and barely able to string a sentence together - Yuk!


Guardian Soulmates OK but My Single Friend has some gorgeous men on it, but as there are similarly gorgeous women on it too the competition is fierce!

I am happily a couple, but before I wasn't, I used Love and Friends and Guardian Soulmates and met some nice men on both of them :)


And I know several people who are in LTRs as a result of using one or the other, including my sister.


But I do think you have to meet up PDQ, because you can get a very wrong impression of people from emails :))


Edited to add: Don't know if it still does, but Love and Friends had a forum which was quite fun, I met some people I'm still in touch with from that, both men and women.

My best friend met his wife in the Swan. Still happily married.


I just did my research there. Found my wife in clapham.


Always think if you have to pay a fee to find a soulmate you have not tried hard enough


Try going out more often and each time you go out drink a little more than you did the previous time, until you find someone. .

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
