Podium you can edit your post if you're quick!
In in a similar situation, you would have never put me n my bf together, not to sound bigheaded but everyone knows im out of his league....however, it doesnt bother me at all what he looks like. Were pretty awesome together, into exactly the same things, blah blah blah...although he does get rather pananoid, which is kinda pathetic thb, im not the type to stray. Plus with him being a fair bit older than me, it does give me a sense of stability dispite the fact that he the worlds biggest kid. But its like zaskar said....everyones different...id rather have a perfection than just appear to have it.
*thumbs up* sfb
but everyone knows im out of his league.
glad we got that sorted out 🙂
[i]Oh and pretty boys means good looking men these days, not gay

No offense Zaskar but you sound like a 20something peacock.
I wish! just have a few lady friends and just listen-can know what they want and sometimes don't!
Don't try too hard and be yourself. Make them laugh if that is you.
Just get out there Podium -go get 'em boy!

He loves it really!
I'm not interested in money or having a stunningly beautiful model type man on my arm.
Really good looking men tend to be absolute tossers, they know they are attractive and in my experience are not capable of remaining faithful.
Yes chemistry is important, but so is trust and loyalty. It's the person as a whole that matters, not just the way they look.
Sounds like you had a bad experience-doesn't mean all good looking guys are 'tossers'.
Zaskar - More than 1 bad experience, but thats why i said tend to be tossers rather than are all tossers. I'm sure there must be a few good ones out there!
must be a few good ones out there
i'm told we're a rare breed but yes, we are out there.... 😆
Some people think too hard about these things 😀
It's like all the way through high school and college all the attractive lasses went out with older/good looking guys who were absolute idiots, totally unfaithful and used them. Then late in life seem to have run away from the older/good lookers and find someone average who'll not screw them over. But thats a real generalisation - there's a fairly healthy mix, otherwise there's be a vast array of horrifically ugly people on the arms of stunning men. Or lots of single good looking men.
Attractiveness isn't all about looks. A lot of it is to do with how you treat someone, attitude to life etc etc.
i use a cocktail of vet medicines to keep my lass with me. she is up to 2000mg a day! getting pricey but i love the way she looks at me so sleepily and wistfully.
[i]i'm told we're a rare breed but yes, we are out there.[/i]
I think decent men are a rare breed full stop but that's a different story altogether.............
mate of mine met a stunningly attractive 'out of his league' girl via internet dating. Inevitably the conversation got to why she 'needed' to use internet dating when she could have pick of the field.
And her answer was very reassuring: the trouble in being too attractive is that 'average' men feel overawed and won't approach her, so she is instead preyed upon by the narcissists and have a go wide boys. In her opinion looks aren't everything - far from in fact. When you are finished with the lustful attraction bit, she's hoping she'll want to talk to her partner for the next 40 or so years.
I don't know how i do it but i do 8)
The Waitrose near my sisters house, is very much, older, bald, out of condition man, with young sexy very attractive girl. They are just after sugar daddies to keep them in the lifestyle they've become accustomed to.
Where we live, couples tend to be evenly matched, it's not a poser type place, more down to earth and outdoorsy. In fact I've often seen out on our local trails walking or cycling, really goodlooking chaps with plainish Women.
I believe that personality is everything. The ability to make me laugh and feel secure, far outweighs the fact I'll be kissing a Brad Pitt lookalike at the end of each day.
Maybe all those blokes don't have bedsits full of old bike bits or smell of chain lube.

you wish 😉
Is going for looks a typically more male thing? Is that why A and A is chock full of photos of women every week. No one can help what they look like, good or bad. Looks don't do it for me at all, it's the sparkles that get me.

Status and 'inner game'for LTR. Being fitter than the average chump helps gets you laid.
My two observations!
just so you know I'm not good looking but also a tosser 🙁
Simon, it's rare for me to agree with you, but hey, on this occasion...
😉
Women are interested in who someone is, as well as what they look like.
Unless a woman gives a man a h*** on at 50 yrds, he views her as a waste of space in all respects, if he is honest with himself.
I dated a chap 20 years older than me - it was accepted by everyone.
I had a close but totally platonic relationship with a chap 9 years younger than me - my friendship was treated with great suspicion by people and often with hostility. Usually included with this attitude was the comment 'you are too old for him to want' even, presumably, as just a friend.
A male newly divorced neighbour told me with total seriousness that all of the guys in his support group wanted to find new partners, but all of them wanted women at least 5 years younger than their ex-wives. His own ex-wife had already been 5 years younger than him, so at 50 he was looking for someone younger than 40 and was not prepared to 'compromise' on any woman older.
Well, I wonder why most women end up with guys older than them? Could it be social attitudes? Could it be they often only get a chance to date at all if they agree to accept someone much older than they are themselves?
This thread is still going I see.
Had an interesting experience [talk] this evening with a bit of posh totty registering 9.5 on the MilfOmeter
Anyway,Californication is just about to start...

In answer to your original question, everyone has something to offer but, with some folk, you will need to dig a little deeper to find it.
Frankly, I can't understand why society doesn't adopt the attitude of the mtb community - you're just accepted for what you are 🙂
Don't get me started on this shallow society we live in 😉
Criteria for me was own hair and teeth 😉
Have I got it wrong, my wife is 10yrs younger than me and earns more than me (only just) Do I need to trade her in for a younger Barbie model?
Unless a woman gives a man a h*** on at 50 yrds, he views her as a waste of space in all respects, if he is honest with himself.
I must be in denial then...

This is irony, right?

Does that include the 'hose pipe and golf ball' scenario 😉

We live in a shallow society, manipulated to a large degree by the media. Some have lost the wherewithall to figure things out for themselves.

I only asked if it was irony, I wasn't after a critique of modern society as you see it. Do you genuinely think that mountain biking 'accepts people for what they are'? Or were you joking?
Had a bad day BWD?
I've had a ****in' great day, did the Fred Whitton in lovely weather - fab views, good ride, nice people, thanks for asking 🙂 I was just trying to find out if you really think mountain biking accepts people for what they are? It's not really clear whether you were being ironic or serious. Sorry if that's just me being thick.
I'm pleased you've had a good day, thought perhaps you hadn't managed to enjoy the sunshine 🙂
Yes, I do think mountain bikers accept people for what they are. I've been on a fair few now, and also organised some, and honestly believe that it can bring out the best in people. I feel we can all learn a lesson on how to get along together even once you take mtb out of the equation.
FWIW there's been some interesting threads on STW recently with people sharing experiences. It's nice to get away from the sniping that has appeared on here in the past.
Ah, okay. I'm less than convinced to be honest, but then mountain biking isn't a homogenous society anyway, so it all depends on who you're riding and mixing with. Some mountain bikers are lovely, some aren't, but clearly you've found ones that are.
