Shibbeth, my apologies. Sarcasm doesn't translate well in text... And you forgot a winky... Sorry! Breastfeeding being seen as somehow unnatural is one of the few things that makes me see red 🙂

Funnily enough,my wife breastfed our son in public as needed,no negative comments,you don't have to flash your tits,so why does anyone object to one of the most natural things in the world? I suspect the objectors are repressed,and looking for a sexual implication that isn't there.

Lonely?... Middle aged perhaps? ...You should try a dating site!

Can someone organise another singles ride? I quite like the idea of being chased by 200 men? 😀

Ah, actually I've just spotted a flaw in that plan - I'm so slow on a bike I'd be chasing the men 😳

Why don't 'we' just organise one? Do we need a scapegoat when it ends as badly as I predict?

Ah, I already have plans tomorrow. The trotters ride round my neck of the woods quite often, I'm north of Preston, Trough of Bowland area.

Where's the ride? Aren't they mostly from my area?

Some years ago there was a STW singletons social networking ride organised. I seem to remember that the organisor came in for a lot of flak.

It would be interesting to hear from the folk that went on the social networking forum ride ... anyone care to comment?

Hehehe. At least one phone number was swapped that day CG, don't fear, it wasn't all in vain! 😉

Didn't end up going anywhere mind, did meet up for one date and a (bike) ride, but that was it...

Yeh they are and they usually ride near the lakes but tomorrow they've changed direction starting from Airton, Mastiles and the rest I can't remember. £2 to join them, what a ripoff 😉

£2?? Bargain. My Tuesday night group costs a tenner a week... But I get a slap-up feed and 2 pints of finest ale for that...

It's the only decent meal I get most weeks... 😥

Hmmm, maybe you should stop watching corrie and start learning to cook, women like a man who can cook 8)

I can cook... Should I put that on my POF profile? 🙂

My efforts at sorting out a date are seriously hampered by the fact that I have my kids every weekend. Put paid to all day mountain biking too, but its a price worth paying 🙂

Keep it coming I'm making notes- on a first date:

-no weeing in front of her.

-no injecting stuff

-no breast feeding - why did little Britain just flash before my eyes?

- no combinations of the above

anything else I should avoid?

now all I need is a date!

😉 Lady!

So i'm a dating advice guru now?

supertramp, I think you've just about got it!

Shibboleth...take watching tv off your profile as a hobby, don't go mad on the MTB as some ladies, so i've heard can be scared off by too much outdoor adventure, make sure your profile pic shows your whole profile and if you're bald don't wear a hat to cover the fact...Heed my advice and you'll get any woman you want...If you believe what you read on t'internet 😀

Point taken Andysbeans... Full head of hair here, and own teeth, I've also included pics with cute kids, swimming with dolphins, skiing in the french alps... Drew the line at stroking a puppy but I've always got that to fall back on.

Thanks for the pointers 😉

Oh and while i'm on a roll, black and white pics of women (and men) can hide a multitude of sins. Also the same goes for being able to view their full profile, if you can't they're hiding something..in my opinion.

Moonwalk? Depends in what context. Moonwalking on the first date I would suggest is a big no no and a bit wierd. Moonwalking whilst bbq'ing sausage sarnies at the top of a mountain after spending 5 hours climbing it with me I would find hilarious!

Tell me about it... And women claiming to have "athletic" bodytypes when they've clearly been hitting the cake!

And don't get me started on the age liars...

I'm getting sooooo bored of reading "must be tall coz I'm 5'10 and like wearing heels" and "looking for a man that will make me laugh". And EVERY profile says "I like to go out for meals and drinks, but I like a night in with a dvd, bottle of wine and a takeaway..." SO YOU'RE NORMAL!!! Tell me something vaguely interesting!!!

I think I need a break from internet dating... I've even started recognising POFers when I'm out on the town!!!

Ahem ... It's probably because those of us girls who do more 'interesting stuff' are busy doing that than hanging out on Internet dating sites (and contrary to current appearances STW isn't a dating forum!)

I'd far rather spend my evening biking / bouldering / playing on the beach with the dog, than meeting some unknown guy in a bar feeling that I'm being judged!

Thus I might be single, but I'm having fun and enjoying my life 🙂

*waves to Kev* - how was the pub?

That is true Sue, you can also do both. I ski, I windsurf, I bike like a maniac, I walk, i've enjoyed the unknown of dating. I am a bit knackered though 🙂

Good for you Sue, I hope you and your dog are very happy together. 🙄

I don't really think it's your place to wade into a thread about dating on a chat forum and start telling everyone what STW is or isn't. Just a thought, would hate you to come across as "judgemental"

yeah alreet Sue, packed. just had a pint and got my bike back off mate, then down tescos to grapple with my sworn yellow-sticker enemies on aisle 24. I got so many bargains it could be a cooking week rather than a biking week if the weather is rubbish. Me n Elfin have some cooking history. I don't wanna let Wales down!

Cos women shouldn't actually have one..............well, not one that is prominent or visible anyway.

Kev 'me and Elfin have some cooking history' 😯 The mind boggles! I'll contribute to the beer / cheese / cracker requirements, but I'm not getting involved in any London / Wales cook-off ...

Andysbeans - after all of that I think I'd be comatose 🙂

Blows kiss at Shibboleth - my dog and I are very happy thanks 😉
