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 :))

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  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 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
