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!
*hug*
[edit] oh, and just lie, it's the internet. [edit]
TSY.
Rich, Successful, Hollywood Actor, Adonis.
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.
I'd blame the moon
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!

Heeyyy... how you doing? But I'm male 🙁
I am a woman
WLTM similar
Maybe that ^ is where your dating strategy is going wrong?
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.

I am a woman
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.
You got further than me Karin: I only got halfway through the initial questionnaire before giving up.
Send me your vital statistics and a photo and I'll tell you if I'm interested. Just don't tell the wife...
[url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/lmg/3399764/ ]a great example of a dating ad....[/url]
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.
The Southern Yeti - Membera 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.
Having a go myself, should be interesting. Does anyone under 30 even use sites like this?
RealMan - aren't you about to start Uni?
Yes, I'm 18.
I like this question, in Section 3: About you..
14. I waste my time.
😀
Sorry to say this but an 18yr old student on a dating site must be a weirdo!
Stop what you're doing right now, buy some cheap cider, and get involved with freshers week..... [b]GO![/b]
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
Apparently I am disagreeable and unhelpful
hubba hubba :o)
steve-g. Yes it was!
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.
My son once told me I needed a bloke with a c**t for a girlfriend, do you think he was suggesting that I swap teams?
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.
I knew a Karin Silver at college many moons ago
I knew a Tony Silver once, but Silver is not my last name
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. 😉
Did you also put "into startrek" I'd reply to an ad with that in!
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.
Yes I AM into Star Trek hence Karinofnine (see what I did there)
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...
😆 @ [b]tsr[/b]
It's hard to imagine any female mountain biker struggling to find a partner!
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.
Mondays or Fridays good for me
[i]Yes I AM into Star Trek hence Karinofnine (see what I did there)[/i]
i have some Star Trek pants
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 😉
It's hard to imagine any female mountain biker struggling to find a partner!
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!
