Best Place to pull?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

You all make me laugh so much!:))

Seriously, when I was single (though I am single legally), and I am rather gorgeous you know! (ok, my mirror is one of those magic ones that makes everyone gorgeous!) and when my sisters, myself and friends used to hit the bars, no one would approach us, and we did smell of soap, we cleaned our teeth and wore clean clothes that smelt of Daz detergent.

I think it was because we are sooooo beautiful!

I dont think I could pull now even If I wanted to, being a nanny means I always look like i have been dragged through a hedge backwards and I look like I battle through a tornado daily also...if you see a mixed race lady with red wild hair power pramming a little boy in Lordship lane, that is me...in my own little bubble going to one playgroup to the next, and avoiding people in case I have bran flakes and vomit on my clothes!

Where is 72 and drum? we are talking DULWICH right? Been to Lioquish, Black Cherry, Bishop, Franklins, Vale, EDT, Plough...Maybe I should try Greyhounds in the village...meant to be rich hot totties there...I am not a wannabe WAG ..honest!

Really! HeidiHi, have you been walking around East Dulwich with your blinkers on? Inside 72 is at 72 Lordship Lane, next to Barclays Bank and The Drum is on North Cross Road snuck between a greengrocers and a shoeshop. Also, I've been a regular in the Dog in the Village for years and I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

By the way, can I borrow your mirror?

Declan - she clubbed me over the head at a mutual friend's wedding (or summat)

HeidiHi - Inside 72 - Opposite Palmerston next to Barclays. The Drum is on Northcross Rd and looks like a sweet ickle-bickle cafe in the daytime... but at night....

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

well i do wear focus dailies lenses, maybe I should change them as I had no idea about the Drum...hmmm i shall go there! and inside 72, yeah I know where that is, very tiny? with leather sofas? never appealed to me being in someone elses breathing space, it is TINY!! But hey, I will give that a go!

Ohhh how disappointing about the Greyhound and crown!

[Jah Lush]

No one calls it that HeidiHi. It's been commonly known as The Dog since God knows when. Actually there are some fine people who drink in there so good luck.

[Mogs]

Over a scrabble board of course (well I know at least one couple who's eyes met that way) and no it wasn't me

[RosieH]

really, bugger. and I'm still in the office

[spadetownboy]

get yourself over to the swan in stockwell, you,d need to be a right minger not to pull in there.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

whoaaaaa - that brings back memories. Siege of Ennis after 10 pints - not a good idea!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Reminds me - I was hit on when I was six months pregnant in The Amersham Arms. How desperate are you and your friends?

siege of ennis after 10 pints nothing,trying to get down the stairs after 10 pints now that was an achievement.

[Keef]

Exactly right!

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

The Fridge Bar in Brixton is where me and my desperate female friends used to go for an evening of ego-boosting. Guaranteed to get loads of guys grinding on yer arse.

But where in East Dulwich can we get that level of quality desperados?

And that my dear Heidi, is the reason!

Taking up the animal angle (As someone has pointed out) the male is by his nature a hunter. Now as anyone who's ever watched a wildlife programme will know, one against a pack seldom is sucessful. All that happens, if a catch is successful, is that the weakest is taken (The ugly friend we all have, to make us look good on a night out)

Now, as any chap will tell you, approaching a group of girls is possibly one of the hardest things to do. Walk in, hit the girl of your dreams with an opening gambit, and all the mates will be listening. Even if you're (insert name of fave dreamboat here) and you use your best line, there is still the fear that there is a joker in the pack (Pun intended) who can slay you in one go, sending you scurrying away with your tail firmly between your legs (Which lets face facts was not the legs it was meant to be between.

My advice, as have a female friend who is suffering man starvation in Ed too, is to actually get yourself along to events, such as the ED forums, or evening classes, dance classes and so on, where there is something in common, besides the "having a drink to meet someone" approach of the pub. It's a one to one meeting, or more relaxed at any rate.

So we are supposed to let the man be the hunter?

Damn I better tell my predatory female friends this, cos we are used to doing the hunting!

Do you think we should learn how to flutter our eyelashes and giggle instead of grabbing our prey and dragging him on the dancefloor etc?

Doesn't it all depend on whether you want a man who responds to a sexually aggressive woman, or one who needs to have an ego-massage to get himself ready for business?

[Jah Lush]

The heart is a lonely hunter and I've certainly never minded being hunted down by the game and I down need an ego massage before hand. I wouldn't say I was up for grabs but I'm definitely available.;-)

[mockney piers]

Eeek, the Swan!! If even I can pull in there.....

[LuvPeckham]

Sounds to me like there are a lot of single people out in ED and maybe (just maybe) someone should organise a night out for them all so that they can all meet, exchange phone numbers and not call each other the following day (or is that a normal forum drink then !!)

[Jah Lush]

This may be true luvpeckham but being single gives me an enormous sense of irresponsibility.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

An irresistable sense of irresponsibility!

[Jah Lush]

I'd like to think so but that's for other people to say.

Anyway to stay on thread I'd completely forgotton about the Black Cherry.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hmmm - an EDF Singles night - sounds fun!

Whatever floats your boat..... ;-)

Maybe you're the exception to the norm......Or maybe I have never been hunted...knowingly....

Of course, we're simple beings, we need the clues to be nice and clear!

I cannot pass comment on this in case Mrs LTP reads this! (CLUE: YES PLEASE!)

[Rolo Tomasi]

Try The Gowlett it's good for guys and gals.

[lordship_bod]

this thread is great... i havent laughed sooo much in ages... i have a single female friend moving to the area and i'm not sure where she's suppose to be going to pull.... have done the usual down the lane (i.e EDT, the bishop etc) but she's never been approached (and she is a looker!).

while i appreciate there are other places to go to not too far away (i.e stockwell, brixton) the whole point of her moving to ED is so she can stagger home from the bars and be home in 10 mins safely....

may be an event for singles would be a good idea, but then isnt the pressure on and people feel they have to "perform"? my vote goes to the forum do's and other evening classes you can go (although i'm told that the blokes that go to tango are a bit sweaty ;-))
