you seem to want to get into a pointless, pedantic argument for some reason.
You'll get used to him.
Does that warrant editing? All I was doing was suggesting what women might think of him if he was foolish enough to be himself... All in good humour, just like his posts... 😉
Now now boys - this was an amusing thread dont spoil it 😀
Yes the last few posts it sure does look like me trying to argue and provoke a reaction 😕

Apologies, just my attempt to diffuse Junky's nitpicking in an amusing way... 😉
Blimey chaps, get a room! 😉 😀
But if you do get a room we definitely dont need pictures!
"So, Junky... Are you the kinda gal that meets for a drink? Or are you one of those that just likes picking arguments on the internet?"
Likes making grown men squirm, Vaseline and zip ties...
*likes cold shoulders, single word responses & snubbing 😛

Then dating isn't for you... You should try marriage instead 😉
Just about to phone a lady, to arrange a date. I'm shitting myself! Pathetic. I used to be so smooth and confident.
I've turned into Raj
She'll be far more nervous Dez, talk to her the same way you might talk to he lady in the nutty shop... That way, if it doesn't go well, at least you might walk away with a BLT and a slice of flapjack 😉
Good luck, you're a tiger... Grrrrrrrr
No flippin answer. Must've known it was me.
Obviously, that was "butty shop"... Damn predictive iPads!!
Did you leave a message?
nah, don't like leaving messages.
@shib - is "butty shop" a euphamisim? just checkin...
Not leaving a message hmmm... you could try again and just keep it short. Talk slowly and breathe, high pitched breathy squealing is unappealing! Good luck.
Leave a message - what have you got to lose?
Unless of course the lovely lady's profile is a bogus one set up by bored STW members - then probably just your dignity and any hope of a quiet life for some time . . . . 😆
O - you're cruel Wench.
"Likes phone hacking, message writing and twisted women"
Cruel to sew a seed of paranoia . . . But luckily not cruel enough to set up false accounts 🙂
Dez - I'm on plentyoffist.com - want to borrow my login ?
You know, spread your net*
*yes, it was
"Plentyoffist"... Won't be his net that gets spread 😯
"Plentyoffist" got to be the best misspell/predictive text error yet 😆

Merely providing inspiration for those who are 😀

Have you called again Dez?
This is still salvageable Dez, text messaging is your friend... Something like "hey, tried to ring last night but must have missed you, let me know when you're available for a chat... 🙂 x."
It doesn't sound desperate - you've waited til the following day - and if she's got anything about her, it'll make her feel a bit guilty for not taking your call when you'd arranged to ring. She might just have bottled in, in which case it'll probably help her confidence to know that you're still interested, and as I mentioned last night, it shows she's just as, or more nervous than you. So you can take a bit of confidence from that.
Stick with it, she's not dead in the water yet!
Plentyoffist
You could make millions with that company!! 🙂
1. I'm not the paranoid type. (She's real enough anyway)
2. I left a message on her account - she replied
3. I'm not free until after next weekend so there's no point pushing it
4. I'm really not that bothered! If something happens it happens. I'm too lazy to chase it 😀
STW is my dating substitute 😉

You have issues.....
irony /???r?ni/noun the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
Blimey its not easy is it?
I can handle the complete blanks I do it too but when you hit it off and suggest a meet up for a walk then total blank...
Makes it all seem rather pointless!
Bump
Any news anyone? This is the best thread in ages, and reminded me of my very short and unsuccessful time on internet dating sites.
Not been a problem for the last couple of years as I met someone the old fashioned way (way out of my depth with her 😳 ) since when I have successfully stayed single (well done me!).
However whilst the flat was spotless in its bachelor pad days, it now looks as though I'm a relative of Edmund Trebus's. I'm going to have to get back on the horse if I'm ever to see the surfaces in the kitchen again...
I have been discussing bikes with a young lady, i got a bit stroppy the other day and started writing bollocks on my profile, since then its been better!
Also changing my profession to designing wind farms... winner!
Well, I had one that was a ****ing weirdo with pictures of someone else on her profile. shibbys Google image search trick lead to a rather curt conversation and the she actually tried to blag her way out of it in the face of the evidence, quite literally delusional.
Nothing on the go at the moment, deactivated all my profiles until I move house, nuff drama as it is 😀

I always found the "bollocks on profile" approach worked well... Written, of course, not photos! 😯
It makes it far easier for someone to strike up a conversation... What on earth do you say to someone who likes "going out or staying in", does a bit of parachuting (once, 14 years ago on a gap year in Oz) or who lists their interests as "planking and banter wid me mates".
I only once dated a girl that was a keen cyclist - she recognised the groupset of my roadbike on one of my profile pics and her opening line was "Is that the new 11-speed Dura Ace?"...
Alarm bells should have rung - I'm fully aware that my bike-geekery is a serious personality disorder, the last thing you want is to people with the same issues getting together!
Anywho, I'm still dating the Perfect 10 I met around 3 months ago... She's even discovered the carefully disguised bike room with 11-or-so bikes in it, and whilst she thinks it's a bit weird, she doesn't seem overly worried. 😉
Well - I've gone and done it...
Signed up a couple of days ago and am completely out of my depth! Keep getting 'interest' from guys 20years older than me, mountain bikers in the USA and a South African body builder... Come on local guys - where are you??
I got one hello message, replied nicely - recognised a local trail on his photos, asked a couple of questions - never heard from him again. I know that I can repel guys from 30ft, but scaring them away by saying hello, it's a whole new skill... 😳
Better not say too much on here though... I think you might be my target audience 👿
Where's local? 😉
Maybe we should have a Blind Date style thread with Flowerpower asking 3 eligible bachelors 3 cheesy questions... I'll be Cilla...
Any volunteers? 😉
*fires up pof search*
I'm in 😉
I think you might be my target audience
It cannot be that bad can it
I am out as i am spoken for
Its frustrating how you cant filter,
For instance filtering all girls who like beards would be convenient!
Likes niche mountain biking, being genuine, rejection.
Who will be our graham?

Shaving your beard would be easier... And probably broaden your appeal... 😉
Is this turning into a "I seem to crap at dating and need somewhere to cry/scream/laugh about the mad people on dating sites?
Hello, my name is Emsz. I appear to repel normal people 😆 some super power 🙄
Ps can we not let Rachel anywhere near this thread, she'll only gloat LOL
Do you suppose the local contact was hoping to play away from home?
Oh, and I'm too old.
Sorry - too far north for you DezB 8)
Joshvegas - that would be cool, I love beards - but can't grow a whole one 😉
