How funny is that? I filled in the forms and they sent me a personality assessment. Apparently I am disagreeable and unhelpful(although they do contradict themselves further on in the 'assessment').

The best thing is, one Sunday last year I was in a really bad mood, in a lot of pain, and couldn't ride. I decided to join a(nother) dating agency. I was totally negative in all my answers yet I got 47 replies to that one!

Just don't mention STW there, people will think you're a middleaged bearded IT consultant.
Alternatively, place an ad here, include pics and get drunk awaiting offers.Or maybe better don't.

Maybe I should appeal to the STW masses. I need to find a photo of me that is even slightly flattering. Most of my photos make me look lke a short fat gormless idiot. (Oh, perhaps I AM a short, fat .... ) 😆

In the classifieds or as a chat thread?

Amazingly good-looking, wealthy, awesome mountainbiking woman WLTM similar for muddy fun? 😉

Yeah, I got the same! To be honest, I was proud I didn't (in a weird way) It sums up that being prepared to be honest about yourself obviously doesn't pay.

Life is full of bullshitters who haven't got the guts to face themselves but they seem to prosper. It says a lot about modern society.

It'll happen mate but when you least expect it!

It surely has to be Classifieds. There're WTD, FS and OT.
WTD A fella with 9" of travel
FS Slim, sexy, kinky, Kylie-like bottomed female in early 20's.
OT Might give you a ride on my bike.

Is Karin your really name? My SO wants to know. She's called Karin too and has never heard of anyone with the same name.

Bit OT I know.

Ah! Yes! Sounds like I'm a woman seeking another woman when in fact I am looking for a man.

Right, off to sort out some photos of myself.

LeeW - yes my name is Karin, with an i. I was born in Germany, although I am a British citizen. My mother was a Prussian refugee, hence the spelling of my name. Does your SO have endless trouble with explaining her name too?

Oh yes. although her parents are both British, no ones quite sure where the spelling comes from.

Her 'P' head Dad was probably drunk at the Christening.

a great example of a dating ad....

Brilliant - but I can't help feeling s/he has narrowed the field a wee bit.

Imagine introducing him/her to your mum/dad/auntie, it's not going to go well is it?

Same as me Mikey74, about halfway through I started thinking, oh for gods sake you've already asked me that question half a dozen times, and I still don't know what would constitute an accurate answer.

Sorry to say this but an 18yr old student on a dating site must be a weirdo!

You have to rate things from not important to very important and I wonder if I put very important too often. Thing is, to me, honesty, faithfulness, communication, friendship ARE very important.

If I were 21 I might be looking for other things but I'm 55 and I want someone who is honest and fun, who I can trust and rely on (not immediately obviously). Plus they HAVE to like cycling, I'm not getting back into a relationship where I am constantly defending how much time and money I spend on my bikes.

I think that ad was in a Jimmy Carr thing I went to see, there were a couple of others...

Millionaire film director seeks gullible blonde.

and Incurable romantic seeks filthy whore.

I like Jimmy Carr sometimes

The Southern Yeti, freshers week doesn't start until next Sunday, and I have a massive hangover right now so can't really be bothered to do much else..

Although it is getting a bit boring. Might just go somewhat for the rest and see what happens.

Easiest way to post a load of pics Karin is to go for a ride with the Bogtrotters and before you know it SFB will have dozens of pics of [s]you[/s] your arse online. 😉

Pfft. Don't worry about it and come down the pub with me instead. We can get rat-arsed and abuse other people. Fun fun fun!

'Wealthy', you say? Hmm. My cassette and chain have worn out... 🙁

No! I just did a big long ad for Boyfriend Wanted in the classifieds and it's gone! It took me ages, no no no. I'll have to start again.

Email in profile.

Elfinsafety - I can meet you for a drink or two.

Excellent. Best to book an [s]ambulance[/s] cab home beforehand mind. Ooh, and last time I ended up having had too much to drink and having to ride home, I got lost and ended up in ****ing Wimbledon or somewhere. 30 miles when you're so drunk you're Scottish isn't fun.

Actually we could do with a central London drinks evening soon anyway...

Yes, STW central london drinks soon. Will you post the invite?

AlexSimon. I know, it's partly because I moved, partly because I am shy and haven't done anything about joining a group locally, partly because I wanted to leave a gap between the last partner and the next so I could hopefully forget all the nasty stuff and not take it into the next relationship.

Ad posted in Classifieds. (God, how embarrased am I now?)

I'll bung something up tomorrow, as people will be back at work and therefore on STW. Personally, I'm usually up for a pint in the Smoke.

i have star trek socks. Shall we lend them elfin? Perhaps a klingon would be more apt for him? I suspect he views himself more as a Q 😉

You think so? It can be just as difficult for women - it's about more than having one interest in common.

Good luck in your search Karin!

Karin - Take yourself off on an mtb holiday. I did this many years ago and it was amazing. 2 guy's asked me out and I had a sort of fling (I know, I know) with the guide on the last day.
The confidence it gave me on my return (I'm shy too) was so great that I met my (now) husband a few months later on a skiing holiday.

Good luck.

Ianpinder - I think if you put a lot of "very importants" in, the software chucks you out. They want to be able to report that they are a success so they need applicants who are wishy-washy and have no idea of who they are or what they want.

My friend also tried it today - he didn't even get the refusal message!

rOcKeTdOg - we need pictures!

I'd actually recommend OKCupid, I met a few interesting people from there, and now I'm not on there at all, due to the first person I met being my darling now.
Warning, there are a LOT of people who have profiles there to either troll or to just do the quizzes.
