Nah.


Curvy = fat

Bubbly = fat

Vivacious = fat

Fun-loving = fat

Brutal but true.


I can guarantee that my idea of fun and my SOH will not be the same as those of anybody describing themselves as either fun-loving or having a GSOH :))


ETA: It's the dating equivalent of those places which describe the stuff they sell as "stylish" :))

Not tried it, but I imagine speed dating is the most efficient form of dating.


A minute or two is probably all you need with anyone - to make a decision as to whether to take it any further.



Unfortunately (so I'm told) it's also the one the attracts the highest proportion of 'not with a bargepoles'.

Yeh but the weird ones have cottoned onto that.


You don't find out they're weird till later.


Apart from the one who thought it was a good dating ploy to send me a link to a website dedicated to his dead wife.

No Mad Mick I'm not even trying. Even flies give me a wide berth!

With there being so many 'experts' on internet dating posting I was wondering what exactly a female could write to attract the males on here who see most things as meaning something else?

I met my partner via online dating 8 years ago and still going strong :) When I was last single I was urged by 20/30-somethings at work to try online dating as that was considered 'the norm' by them. Tried it for a few months, met some very interesting peeps, had some quite frankly hilarious dates, and finally met R.


The trick (I feel) is to not take online dating uber seriously, to have some fun, to have a decent 'get out' strategy (always meet for coffee or drinks on first meeting, never a meal) and to keep an open mind. Many online daters are far to strict with their requirements....


'female 36 - wants to meet solvent, tall, dark handsome man with own hair, house and car. Must adore cats and no beards/moustaches.'


'male late 40s - wants to meet green eyed oriental lady 18-29. Must be under size 10 and large bossomed.'

That's because they thought you genuinely had a GSOH rather than that you were being honest :))

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?

      Seeking an English Lit A Level tutor to focus on Othello

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
