I think I’d struggle with online dating. I’m not photogenic and I write ‘ugly’. I am however hung like a powerful Shire Horse.

JHJ, in that pic of you jumping are you wearing jeans and smart shoes?
popped down the dirt track after church perhaps….

Every day is holy in the Church of Shred!!

Dressed casual for a date n that, eh…

Can’t of done. A month later riding before the metal was even removed I went and took a small saw to it, payback!!

I’ve been riding there since around 1988 so it was probably just a seed then

bongohoohaa
I also like taking revenge on any trees and bushes that have wronged me.

If i did that^^^ this is what my local woods would look like:

😉

Anyone had any luck on DatingDirect, if its still going?

Beach holidays are boring as hell but I’m going to whistler next year so I’ll add that.
Children. No thank you that’s why I split from last partner.
Wine glass. No thanks I’m practically T total.

bit late to the party, but hello!

It was a pretty small sapling Tbf. Hadn’t been there that long and was pathetically small but at that speed the bars getting snatched in opposite direction doesn’t end well.

Golf chick – do I look ok?

I’ve done similar on that bright orange “safety” netting around building works, amazingly effective as a brake when the end of your bar gets caught in it.

You look like someone called Eddie, from 2007.

Funnily enough, I used to go on MTBR and kinda knew the guy, so recognised the picture.

JEEEEZZUSSSS..

You’d go faster laying down and rollin….

You’re a local?!

It’s a good job for you I’m in a happy relationship otherwise I’d be asking you out for a rohypocinno

What’s Peter Griffen doing on a mountain bike?

It’s never gonna end well!

You’re a local?! haha only for local people.

Hora, you look pretty fly for a white guy. Thats the first thing that popped into my head so I’m going with it!

Married yet, OP?

Yeahhh thats how fast it works! Married with kids already…..

I N R A T S

Has anyone got their hole yet?

Yeahhh thats how fast it works! Married with kids already…..

Well, they do call it speed dating.

god I’d never go speed dating!

Should hope not if you’re married… think of the kids!!

Those poor kids 🙁

It’s getting pretty annoying, couple of people have sent msgs but I’ve not paid for the service so although I’ve managed some fairly cunning googling so far Im running out of ideas. It’s not cheap you know!

It’s not cheap you know!

A female friend of mine advised me that actually it was very cheap. Once you’re past the monthly subscription fee, it’s a good way of getting lots of free meals and nights out – at least, that’s what she used it for!

FWIW, I used Fitness Singles a few years ago, worked out alright at the time.

And, on the other side, many of the chaps I’ve known who have used online dating have said, and I paraphrase;
“Buying the odd dinner here and there to get laid is cheaper and safer than hookers.”

you’re not really selling the whole experience to me! I pay my own way as far as meals are concerned so I’d not get any free dates out of it…. maybe I’m a dying or rare breed?!

It’s not cheap you know!

You’re using a dating site that charges to read your messages?
Er, why?
As I always said, if I was going to pay for it, I’d make sure I got my money’s worth!

…maybe I’m a dying or rare breed?!

If that is the case, then the onus really is on you to go forth a prosper.

Maybe avoid anyone who knows CaptainFlashHeart, as they sound like right charmers.

You’re using a dating site that charges to read your messages?
Er, why?

because it weeds out the insolvent and gold diggers.

Oh yeah, cos these can easily fool you into forming a relationship with them on the free site(s)! 🙄 😆

DezB, why not tell the OP what free sites you recommend, rather than getting into an argument on the internet?

C’mon people, this thread is about the luuuurve.

Argument? Where’s the argument? You’re mad.

Only have to look at the first page to find the obvious free dating site. If you/they haven’t already heard of it.

POF needs to come with a sodding health warning. Inundated by random people, one whose profile said mtbing, apparently he doesnt mtb anymore due to bad knees, well remove it off your sodding profile. And no after 5 messages I do not want to give out my number. Im thinking a life of celibacy!

5 messages! Thats a lifetime in there.

Hey – don’t knock PoF, just treat it as a game (bit like here 😛 )
Either that or pop on to Tinder – loads of women use it now as you can’t message without matching.
