I would love to find a woman like your friend Tinkerbelle. Still single after a year but I am in my 40's (just)!
Dating sites are crap. I am on two and have only found nutters! I'm sure she will find someone nice when she least expects it.

In short I have a friend in her mid 30's, slim, fairly attractive (no boils/warts etc) who is unable to find a nice decent bloke.

Sounds almost perfect 😯

Does her Dad own a brewery ❓

To be fair on a personal note I did internet dating 5 years ago hit gold very quickly and I have been married for 3 years to a fantastic lass, yep it worked for me 😀

I appear to be a perfect match for what has been requested - which is nice. 😀

@Houns - looking at your profile pic, I'm sure you'll have beautiful children 😉

You've hit the nail on the head there. They were at Uni in Oxford, but she's got a teaching job she really enjoys up there 🙄

How sane can she be if she fancies a relationship with a bloke who spends his spare time riding an overpriced bike around the woods.

I'm afraid my mates who are in their 30's and single are currently enjoying freedom and enjoying themselves slightly too much with impressionable girls in the age range 18-23.

Given how gorgeous these girls are (in comparasion to what they/me dated 8 or so years ago) I can't see them thinking about a women their own age for a while....

Oh - and nice pics but why are you in a box in one of them?

I'm impressed this thread grew so quickly, and thank you for the few who made sensible comments.

She's done some group activity type things, sailing, cycling, walking and has as far as I'm aware even tried line dancing classes. But to no avail, she bonds well with the girls in the group, and gets on with the guys, but always seems to have the slimiest bloke take an interest in her and scare off the rest.

I'm also amazed someone dug up my old pics, and although I will not post a picture of her (she's a friend, and after my first picture posting and the comments on that (Bunnyhop I remember it all too well) I wouldn't dream of putting her through that), it has often been said that we look very much a like and have been confused for one another in the office.

PS - I was in a box, it was supposed to be "arty"

Well i went on match.com and searched the Reading area for women mid 30's, there are a lot it seems including one who fits the bill...

Does your friend have rather large hands, a passion for rugby and an adam's apple?

Just one other suggestion if she's sporty/active and you're based Reading way - get her to go down to her local rowing club - typically they have a very good social scene and are full of tall, fit, supremely good looking and well adjusted men that aren't complete geeks like cyclists often are when hanging around together 😉

wouldn't it be an act of desperation to take up such a fatuous sport just to pull ?

PS - I was in a box, it was supposed to be "arty"

it's flattering [b]tb[/b], you look very good :o)

lol @ Southern Yeti. No that's not her, last I knew she was one of those no picture until you start talking to her, she had some very weird blokes getting very stalker ish when she had her picture up.

She tends to go for the rugby player build, and has previously commented the cyclist are too skinny, but having seen how happy myself and some other people are with cyclists as their OH's shes going to see what the cycling group "have to offer".

Maybe but if the alternative is leading mtb club rides just so she can look at the opposite sex's @rses then it doesn't look so bad 😉

about half the blokes in my club are heavily built 🙂 Sadly their attitude to women leaves much to be desired 🙁

haha..... oh well... she/he looked interesting!

Seriously though if she doesn't have a picture on there all she's going to get are freaks or guys hoping to get their leg over, probably why a lot leave half way through first date as they realise that she is a nice, decent lady, not interested in a 'casual' relationship.

I did my own internet dating stint many years ago, and can vouch for the fact the photo or not you will always get the sad weirdos who seem nice, but turn out to be complete freaks.

I recall one guy who seemed nice, so we decided to go to a concert in London together, as I worked in Reading but lived out the way, we decided it was best for me to change at his and walk to the station together, rather than me driving home changing and driving all the way back to Reading. When I went up to his room to change, the entire room was plastered (including the ceiling) with Buffy the Vampire pictures - he even had the bedding and matching curtains, he had other major issues but that was the first BIG warning sign.

I speak for myself and Junkyard when I ask, what is wrong with this?

Maybe you should request any that single, interested blokes should post a picture of themselves up with a short intro and then let your friend have a look through rather than posting up a picture of her.

To adapt a post from earlier, not from personal experience of course 😉

Women over 30.

Sane, Dirty, Attractive.

Pick 2.

Chunky as in muscly, or chunky as in fat. Rugby player build in my book would have very little in the way of chunk about them.

I like the idea of those interested posting pictures and a short description of themselves. - c'mon guys....

I think rugby player build as in athletic, not super skinny/whippet

And just to clarify, she has only been single for just over a year, she was in a long term relationship, which fell apart when her oh cheated on her and started dating someone he took flying lessons with. So she is not one of those single at 30-something for a reason.

Isn't the demeaning act of posting pics what match is all about?

I don't care to look at blokes that closely. Just shed-shaped.

Well at least she got an interesting anecdote out of it.

'rugby player build'

a good percentage of the rugby players i know in this age bracket nicely match the 'weekend cyclist build'

of a bit overly fat. too much beer and very little muscle.

grrrrr. manly.
