I've put plenty of definitely yes or def no requirements on my eharmony thingy and they accepted me, however, I am starting very much to doubt their "special matching process". For someone who said that mtbing and other active stuff was important, I seem to be "matched" with an awful lot of fatties who have no real interests. Yes, yes - we all enjoy catching up with mates and socialising, that's a given!! But you must be passionate about participating in some sport or activity???
Anyway, Santa cruz riding, non-Audi-owning, late 30s mtber with life outside of STW seeks female with same for mucky riding fun 🙂
Ok, so how does one "prove oneself"? The other day i managed a 25 yard manual without falling off? Is that enough to hook a babe??? 😉
TBH, i've go no chance on here, no Audi, No O5, no coffee maker (i don't even [b]like[/b] coffee), don't work in IT etc
I think it's probably better to just snare a "normal" woman, then slowly indoctrinate her into being a mountain biker........
(ok, i might be sounding slightly stalkerish now??) 😉
BTW: does anyone one put a deffinate "yes" to the taking drugs bit? Like, wow, she's hot, but unless she's smacked outta her head on goofballs then, sorry, she ain't the woman for me....... ?
Damn - sold my VP-Free last year...
I'm not convinced by the eharmony thing (although I am amused by the fact you can be 'not' accepted, almost worth a go for that 😉 )!
Sadly as I ride an Orange 5 I fear I would be unsuitable for the discerning STW forumites 😆
^^ you sold a pair of tight pants ^^
😯
^^ you sold a pair of tight pants ^^
huh?
I put an ad in the classifieds on here (for a bit of a laugh) - no takers though 🙂
Just as well, I really love being single.
missnotax - I ride an Orange 5! They're great aren't they?
Don't knock the Orange 5 thing. If I had a pound for every girl I've impressed with stories about adventures on my 5, I'd have...2 pounds. Although in the scheme of things I'd have then had to refund them....
If they put "yes" for taking drugs, there's always the option of getting them sky high then luring them back you your place for "something to chill out with"........
😉

Love mine, fab little bikes 🙂
I've dated 3 female stw members, all were fab. Well one was a bit barmy.
Happy to add a fourth 😀
Oh, plenty of fish you may find a handsome devil into mountain biking
f they put "yes" for taking drugs, there's always the option of getting them sky high then luring them back you your place for "something to chill out with"........
What, like Rohypnol
Well at this rate we might just get our first STW lesbian wedding, and yes, they can leave the church on there matching 5's....... 😉
All I did was state "Definitely No" to smoking, regular drinking, drug taking and eating meat.
Can it really be true that there is not many MALE teetotal non dope smoking veggies - who would have though that 😯
EDIT:
does anyone one put a deffinate "yes" to the taking drugs bit?
Only those who are honest and unashamed
Its not like folk are exactly shy about drinking and last time I checked that was a drug.

Houns is a bloke.
you might have a point there, Junkyard..
Rachel
VP = Visual Pantie Line doesn't it?
Anyhoo's..
Any advert spouting the word "rides" ought to get you loads of replys.. 😆
😆

I pretty much fit that bill... but I'm married.
Could I date an Orange Five rider though?! I do have standards
And there ain't nothing wrong with getting a girl high, it's just that it should involve a nice 30foot kicker gap jump rather than banned recreational substances....
JY - did you mention your love of musicals? 😉

30foot kicker gap jump
Not likely with me - 3 or 4 feet in the air is my self-imposed limit! (yes, I know, I'm rubbish!!)
Rachel
Yes i pretty much fit that bill but not quite too.
OH yes cheers Binners Out me why dont you 😉
At the risk of causing massive offence, do girls look like their bikes? (and i guess us blokes too) ?? (much like dog owners looking like their dogs)
That's still roughly 2 feet 10 inches higher than me ATG!
Good question:
do girls look like their bikes? (and i guess us blokes too) ??
Bright orange Nicolai Helius all covered in mud.
edit - the lights are nice and bright but the seat is a bit torn and there's a few paint chips here and there...
Ha ha maybe, explains the amount of phat bikes, Joneseseses, and melted carbon 456's on here. They're all gopping 😆
Me??
Slim, lightweight, rakish and very fast, but made out of plastic, and likely to break down a lot without warning (Lapierre Zesty)
I hope not I have a carbon 456 and an Orange 5
No one could be that UGLY
do girls look like their bikes?
Old, a bit knackered and creaky, and covered in mud?
Yes 🙄
(I also have a Santa Cruz and a Kona but i'm not sre they help either...!)
Santa Cruz, now you're talking
All I did was state "Definitely No" to smoking, regular drinking, drug taking and eating meat.
And "Definitely Yes" to liking dogs, liking cycling, exercising every day.
erm... I can see eHarmony's point. "definitely no" to regular drinking means you're mostly looking at reformed alcoholics or other teetotalers. "definitely yes" to exercising every day is also fairly niche.
How about a sliding scale - where talking about exercising also counts as exercising every day? And relaxing 'no to regular drinking' to 'no to regularly drinking alone'? 🙂
I2.CDNDS.NET Blimey 😯
you have really let yourself go since that photo was taken.
Ah well your boobs are bigger now 😉
That reminds me, my shed needs a lick of varnish
I'm not teetotal, not by any means, I just meant I didn't want one of those men who go to the pub all the time, the ones with nicotine-stained fingers and red faces from drinking way too much. Some pub is nice, some drinking is nice, but I know several men who drink loads, every day, alone, from early on in the day.
Maybe a simple "do you have a nose like Alex Ferguson?" question could weed those out? 😉
Missnotax & allrhegear - I've no problems with a girl on an orange 5 so I'll let you figure out between you which one I can take out first... 😆
Thing is dashed, will you be so magnanimous when they take your fave Strava KOM on their 5's ??? 😉
And to counter that horrible horrible "woman" up there ^^^ i'd like to add my new favourite "crush of the week":

4.BP.BLOGSPOT.COM Fit, in every sense of the word!
Obviously should you be lucky enough to pass the extensive questionaires and mtbing tests first 😉 😆
Thing is, i'm not sure a MTB girlfriend actually makes life any easier:
NON MTB other half:
you: I need to buy a new bike
her: NO.
simple, and to the point, vs;
you: I need to buy a new bike
her: cool, get a XC carbon 29 hardtail
you: i was thinking about a nice DH bike
her: no, you want a racey one
you: but.....
her: XC race bike or i'm leaving you for the milkman......
see what i mean!
😉
Me: I might buy a new MTB
Mrs FF: Cool, that means I can buy one too
Can't get better than that...
I can from experience say that having your other half involved in your hobby is a total pain in the arse
Scenario 1 - [b]OH knows nowt about bike[/b]
Her: Have you bought a new set of forks?
Me: No, look, they're still black (having replaced old black forks with new black forks)
Her: Oh, fair enough - do some washing up
Scenario 2 - [b]OH knows too much about bikes[/b]
Her: Have you bought a new set of forks?
Me: No, they're still black
Her: Funny, because before you had coil Lyriks and now you've got Air ones....
Me: DAMN YOU!!!!
Her: Do some washing up. Then stop that tap dripping....
That actually happened....
