[Closed] What is a 'genuine bloke'?

no vagina, normally born without one.

One that doesn't check out your tits *quite* so obviously?

In my trade it's someone who will pay you, but it might take years.

Same as a sound ****? Someone reliable.

One that doesn't check out your tits *quite* so obviously?

Hard to do sometimes. I was at a conference the other day, and the name tags they had printed were in a rather small font. Said name tags were positioned upon the chests of all delegates, ladies and gentlement. When approaching a chap, it was relatively easy to just peer at the name tag. When approaching a lady, it was rather more difficult. Especially when the aforementioned tag had been (possibly strategically) placed immediately adjacent to a magnificent cleavage.

You're looking for the definition of a genuine bloke. Can we just put a link to Hora's latest ramblings, with a note saying 'the polar opposite of this'

😀

"honest"

???

Anyways, we are hard-wired to stare at cleavage, it isn't our fault. Blame god.

Can we just put a link to Hora's latest ramblings, with a note saying 'the polar opposite of this'

LOL! 🙂

Hora's genuine.

Well, you couldn't fake that could you?? 😉

Interesting emsz... I was at carnival the other day and a particularly stunning lady walked by... the lads I were with almost in chorus said what an amazing 'rack' she had... the smile I got suggested I was the only person that had looked her in the eye all day.

Gutted I didn't perv at her chest though.

i think the main factors here are:

"genuine" - well that's down to the person's definition of genuine, completely individual depending on what they desire or view as a typical man. different cultures will mean different ideas of manly.

"bloke" - bloke, to me anyway, implies a pub dwelling, football loving, bottom pinching, stereotype. if it was "genuine gentleman" for example i'd be assuming the desire for a door-holding, moustache adorned, suit wearing fellow of the finest heritage.

however, you sir, are a beast.

Look, I know you can't help it. LOL

It's just "hello, up here" Y'know?

Honestly, I'm the last girl to know, but my daily contact Chris, I'd call genuine, he's a blokes bloke, football, drinking, playstation, all that, but at the same time he can cook, will clean, phones his mum, and doesn't stare at me and GF if we wander about in tee shirts and knickers. Decent, y'know?

So.... a genuine question about the qualities of the male species has immediately descended into an enthusiastic discussion about tits

Yeti - you have your answer! 😀

Sorry Binners I'm thinking about emsz's last post.

I once apologised for staring at a womans clevage.
It was impressive, but she took it very well. I actually put my hand up and said I hadn't taken in what she had said because I'd been distracted.
We got on very well after that.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I frequently catch women glancing at/checking out 'the packet'.

Just human nature innit 😉

EDIT: Mind you, there is a fair difference between a natural looksee and out and out letching

Relevant.

sorry Yeti... what were you saying?

[i]no vagina, normally born without one.
[/i]

LMAO at that. Excellent reply. 😉

...doesn't stare at me and GF if we wander about in tee shirts and knickers. Decent, y'know?

So 'genuine bloke' = gay?

Ummm.. back to the OP.. I always thought it was more of a Ronseal sort of thing... not a horrible tan... but does exactly what it says on the tin?

OK, forget the 'bloke' tag, that just depends on who's talking.

But 'Genuine' = honest, reliable, dependable, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)

I think anyone that knows me would agree I'm 100% genuine. If I say something, you can bet it's true. If I say I'll do something, you can bank on it. I'm very outspoken, so no wondering what I think behind your back, I'll tell you to your face.

Oh, and I can't abide football and don't go to the pub regularly.

[i]Honestly, I'm the last girl to know, but my daily contact Chris, I'd call genuine, he's a blokes bloke, football, drinking, playstation, all that, but at the same time he can cook, will clean, phones his mum, and doesn't stare at me and GF if we wander about in tee shirts and knickers.

Some interesting stuff there. I'd agree with a lot of that, cept I don't do football, nor playstation and have no family.

But ime, a bloke who likes going to the pub, cycling, holds down a job. Can cook, etc, etc.
Is labelled by a lot of women as [i]boring[/i], no ?.

So, are genuine blokes a desired end result, but not what women think they want when things get started ??.

Ummm.. back to the OP.. I always thought it was more of a Ronseal sort of thing... not a horrible tan... but does exactly what it says on the tin?

So shallow and a bit dim then?

Genuine bloke = honest, a bit thick, has manners, pervs discreetly, refers to periods as 'women's problems'.

[i]So shallow and a bit dim then?
[/i]

Jamie.
Are you single ?.
You seem to jump in on these threads and I was just wondering.
AFAIK TSY was single until recently, I think...

And we all know SuperTramp is in the market for meeting women, etc.

I'd agree with the above but not necessarily the thick bit.

You seem to jump in on these threads and I was just wondering.

I do?

[i]I do?
[/i]

Ok, you don't, its my warped mind playing tricks on me.
Sorry.

Oh, and I'll take that as a YES.
😐

Right, who's up for a fight then?

Jamie... why shallow and a bit dim?

A genuine bloke does actually read gentlmen's topshelf magazines for the articles. Sometimes they can be interesting.

[i]Right, who's up for a fight then[/i]

We all know you're way too soft for all that nonsense.

Put the bombers on the floor, step back and place your hands on your head.

NOW !.

don simon, really? I thought they were all tits and fannies? 😆

Oh, and I'll take that as a YES.

Wasn't dodging the question, as I am single, just wondering how I gave the impression I was always on these types of threads?*

*What exactly is this type of thread?

Jamie... why shallow and a bit dim?

Might just be me, probably is, but if someone appears to 'do what it says on the tin' it suggests no depth, i.e shallow, and no depth, a bit dim. Probably way of the mark though.

Young Lady! You should be ashamed of yourself...
But yes, I do believe that you can find ladies that we could call extrovert...

*What exactly is this type of thread?

Just another one of my BS musings... and I for one like the fact that you turn up on them.

I see what your saying about my Ronseal solution... but the description on the tin might say 'deep and philosophical'...

I more meant that it's a bloke that doesn't lie, cheat... fill a woman full of false hope and promises, etc.

I see what your saying about my Ronseal solution... but the description on the tin might say 'deep and philosophical'...

Like I said, it was just me pulling the trigger to soon on my usual misanthropic bullshit,

[img] [/img]

[i]but the description on the tin might say 'deep and philosophical'[/i]

Would that be tweed jacket, glasses, pipe, etc ?.

and doesn't stare at me and GF if we wander about in tee shirts and knickers. Decent, y'know?

That's NOT a proper bloke.

That's NOT a proper bloke.

Course it is. He knows if he stares, they'll stop doing it.

Emsz - have you ever looked through the pictures on Chris' phone?

No....should I d'you think. 😆

more likely to be shots of his mates arses on the piss, y'know what rugger types are like.

I'm a proper bloke and will be candid about this: women in t shirts and knickers = just about the sexiest thing on the planet. There.

[img] [/img]

Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here? In a sixth form girl's dormitory? At three o'clock in the morning? With my reputation? What were they thinking of?

maybe Chris likes a different kinda looking lady? maybe he's just a decent bloke? maybe he's the kinda chap who can go to a beach and stare at the sea instead of all the ladies in what might as well be underwear....

or maybe he has a hard drive full of secret footage he's taken.

anyway... the only lady whos responded to the question about what a genuine bloke is, is one who isnt interested in finding a genuine bloke.. quite an important thing considering the context of the question.

any older single ladies wish to respond, or has all the boob talk and inevitable excitement caused by the young emsz and her talk of knickers put you off responding to the thread?

(emsz... chris does sound like a good guy 🙂 so if by any chance he does have secret cameras hidden in your bedroom, let him keep them lol)

[i]any older single ladies wish to respond, or has all the boob talk[/i]

I'm guessing that is exactly why some women, lurking, won't reply.

My dating website experience has indicated to me that most women do not seem to list the word [i]genuine[/i] about their prospective partner.
They describe themselves as genuine, but when reading the profiles I have, I note most are seeking to travel, have adventures, as they have been doing for years and well into their late 30s.

Makes me wonder where they get all the money from to travel and have so much time off work.
😀

WRT the 'staring at chests' thing,

I used to be pretty shy and found eye contact difficult. Still do, to an extent, but nowhere near as bad as I used to be. So, I'd avert my gaze slightly. The problem there is it's easy to avert downwards; So I'd not particularly be looking at someone's chest so much as staring off into the middle distance where their chest happened to be. It wasn't until someone gently told me off for it that I even realised I was doing it.

Sigourney Weaver. Alien. Final scene.

* bucket of water for derek_starhip please....*

Solo - ask them what they're looking for... most of them will say genuine... many will struggle to tell you what this means.

I'm still not satisfied I have an answer to what "genuine" means to women... so if there're any female lurkers who would like to respond... please do.

I promise not to start stalking you and will do my best moderator impression and stamp down on any unruly comments... I'm watching you Solo.

Cougar - you have to be very careful doing that in male changing rooms.

Sigourney Weaver. Alien. Final scene.

+1 - in this case, the sexiest thing OFF the planet!

The definition is gonna vary depending on how lager swilling, girly shagging, football watching, saturday night fighting your outlook on life is. But probably somewhere between these two characters.

[i]Solo - [b]ask them what they're looking for[/b]... most of them will say genuine... [b]many will struggle to tell you what this means[/b].[/i]

Sorry TSY, I'm struggling with that one.

[i]I'm watching you Solo[/i]
Then my furry friend, you are looking at the personification of a [i]genuine bloke[/i] and need look no further.
😉

Hence why I don't play with games consoles, I do not claim to be a women when participating on cycling forums.... and a whole load of other stuff, yadda, yadda.

Its a funny old game. One minute a person will write that they've base jumped from the top of everest, but then also declare that they can stay home with a bottle of wine and a DVD....Errr, yeah, we can all do that.
So whats really being said, is that we're all pretty [i]normal[/i] ?.

So, whats the hang up ?.

If it's at chest height, I'm not the one that needs to be careful.

Genuine bloke to me means practical - should be able to top up the cars oil and do basics like putting up shelves etc. Should have at least one proper practical skill, say fixing the car, DIY or woodwork etc. Must have his own tool set.

The other thing is that he looks after his family. Puts food on the table and spends time with them.

Surely "genuine" just means "not a lying sack of dog eggs who's going to tell me he loves me and then plumb my sister," n'est-ce pas?

Tron.
I Can't argue with that, but you seem to have over looked the old killer....

[i]someone who will make me laugh[/i].

Not too much pressure then.

So. Wanted: [i]Genuine bloke who makes me laugh a lot[/i]

*oh, and who can change the oil in the motor, fix the leaking cold water feed for the toilet (my particular job last weekend 🙁 )
clean, bring home the bacon and be able to cook it*

Like I say, theres some tall orders out there, ime.
🙂

Cougar - I think you've nailed it! Now, any lady lurkers fancy corroborating this?

Solo and Tron... way too literal IMO.

[i]Surely "genuine" just means "not a lying sack of dog eggs who's going to tell me he loves me and then plumb my sister," n'est-ce pas?
[/i]

Crikey yes, I think genuine should cover that !.

"Genuine bloke" strikes me as the kind of phrase only an intellectually-subnormal Loaded-reading lad/ladette would use. If a girl on a dating website requested one i'd run a mile.

[i]Solo and Tron... way too literal IMO[/i]

As my married friends tell it, when all the dust has settled and daily life together is the norm, women are quite practically minded.
😉

finbar - I think that demonstrates that there is a gulf in understanding between what women and men might mean when they use the word 'genuine'.

I'm guessing that the single women is looking for genuine as in sincere. Not as in sterotypical..

Genuine..

Erm, what have you to guage "genuine" against?

Think I'm agreeing with that.

bikebouy - it's "gauge".

As I said earlier...

'Genuine' = honest, reliable, dependable, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)

😆 at this thread but I really don't have anything to add to it except ... George Clooney ... swoon. 8)

CG, I think TSY was just hoping for an ego boost and for someone to say what a genuine bloke he is 😆

C'mon Auntie... we value your two pennies worth...

LOL @ DirtyG... nope... It's really a thread to help myself and others understand what women mean.

DG - 😆 TSY is lovely though and he'd make someone very happy!

TSY - I guess a genuine bloke is someone who feels comfortable with himself, shortcomings/warts and all.

Trouble is so many folk are full of angst/insecurity/low self-esteem etc. (delete as apppropriate) therefore our judgment can become clouded.

Edit: re the dating thread - people as they get older can be less tolerant of other folk's shortcomings/personality traits and unwilling to overlook these.

What is a 'genuine bloke'?

You've met me and you have to ask?

One that doesn't check out your tits *quite* so obviously?

I'd question the genuineness of any "bloke" checking mine, obviously or not

Nah don Simon, she's putting new seals in the brake calipers whilst I'm fitting new brake lines...

I think I've worked out where the confusion lies.

"Genuine bloke" means "a bloke who is genuine" as opposed to "someone who is genuinely a bloke."
