[Closed] "You would though, wouldn't you.... "

If she isn't, there's no way in the world I'm putting my prize vegetables anywhere near it thank you very much!

In my circles of mates I think it's an attempt to be just a bit more honest. So if a (morally reprehensible, obviously) conversation happens to go along the lines of "I hate so and so, she's just irritating/ unattractive/ not someone I like", after about 5 seconds of reflection, both sides of the conversation will generally realise that, being morally reprehensible specimens, if said lady was actually available and either of us had any chance whatsoever... well, you wouldn't say no really.

As opposed to "If I were single, and she were single, and we'd both had a bit to drink, and we happened to both be naked in the same place, I would actually say to her 'no thanks love, I'm not interested' ".

It sounds like some chaps on this thread are rather more upstanding though, which is to be applauded

Oh how much a woman can learn from reading this forum

The main thing is, despite appearances, it's not populated entirely by silly over imaginative teenage boys :-/

And despite all the disappearances - I was just kidding.

Aaah, that old one.

Amazing!

Very little indeed I would have thought. 😉

I suspect women learn that men are pretty much the same as them, but it's more culturally acceptable to voice it...

*feels strangely isolated knowing that you "blokey" blokes and I, really do have such a very different outlook on life* 😕

with dutch courage i find that once i'm at the point of saying "yeah, f$%k it, let's do it" i'm beyond the point of being able to do it.

Emma Way, so many ways, many of them wrong ways... for the good of humanity. maybe.

there was a lady at a wedding i attended last weekend. she was over 80. if you didn't know that you would have guessed mid-60s and would have said (in fact i think i did) "you would though, wouldn't you".

[i]she was over 80[/i]
[i]"you would though, wouldn't you"[/i]

😯

Sums up the reality of the phrase to me.. you say "you would", but there's no way you actually "would".

(Yay, BigDummy!)

I always assumed that the phrase was targeted, much as Tucker thought, at ladies who while having some fundamentally abhorrent characteristic, would still be acceptable to take to bed.

So you might discuss the poor personality defects of Emma Way while still accepting that you'd quite happily have sex with her.

So in that respect, I guess I'm about 50/50. Not with Emma Way, I don't find her attractive at all but there have been women in the past who fit the criteria of NO and yet still, there's something there that says yes.

I'm not proud of this, I can only apologise. I am but a man and half my brain is in my trousers. I applaud those that have managed to raise the bar.

With what's in their trousers? 😯

Me neither. But...

Who the **** is Emma Way?

One of those new "celebrity" types...

You would though in fairness, wouldn't you 😉 . If said woman crawled into bed with you on a cold winters night you might not complain.

When single,I always took the view that if a woman asked,it would be churlish to refuse,although once or twice I had to talk them out of it.

no, but the GF might...

The only criteria I look for in a female is a pulse.

i still take a fair dollop of pride in that my mates used to call me ''the man with no standards'' i specialised in the attractive girls mates, those who had strayed once to often to the pie factory and those who only came out in the dark so not to frighten children..i myself was of course perfect and was often called Richard by many ladies i engaged in converstaion.. my milk white complextion and lack of body fat and muscle, shoulder length greasy hair ( with a crimped fringe) and self embroidered denim jacket ensured a steady though infrequent supply of the fairer sex

although i have kept a guilty secret from them almost 35 years.. as an 18yr old ( almost) in a night club i repeatedly turned down the increasingly desperate advances of a friend of one of my mates mothers.. should have given her the benifit of the doubt i suppose..

ha ha - you guys make me laugh. Which is very welcome as i have been in a major sulk after an attempted break-in at my house last night.

The number of you that claim to have standards is actually reassuring - having officially sworn myself of the whole dating thing some time ago it almost gives me hope - or maybe that was just today's sunshine.

You're going to have to bear with me on this, don't start throwing stones until you've read it all.

My MiL is distinctly presentable for a 70 year old lady. I wouldn't *quite* bring myself to the point of 'you would, wouldn't you', but if i was maybe 20 years older and the age gap not so big then I might be in that camp.

Which i'm hoping is a good sign, if her daughter continues to develop the same traits and characteristics, then maybe in 20 years time 'I will be, won't I'

Apologies to readers under 30 retching at the thought of Granny sex.

The number of you that [b]claim[/b] to have standards

....is the key IMO. To be honest, I'm hoping this thread is read with the tongue in cheek mode that most of posts are meant to be!

Very sorry to hear of attempted intruders; most upsetting I know from experience.

Hugs etc x

'i never thought i'd ever be doing this to a pensioner'

A classic line my ex's mum came out with a breakfast soon after her 60th birthday - she told us all how his Dad had been quite amused by the idea the night before

We were quite shocked for her to come out with it - over breakfast with kids about, but good on them.

Thank you BN, very upsetting and completely scuppered the Welsh Ride Thing for me this weekend as i couldn't leave everything unsecure.

Just glad the two youngest were at their Dad's. Did make me feel like i needed a man around briefly today - but soon fixed padlocks on everything and installed an alarm and feeling much more empowered now 🙂

Edit: yes appreciate the tounge in cheek-ness of much on here (my own post definitely included in that!)

Nothing like a few padlocks and the use of a screwdriver to empower some manliness; well it works for me. Buy a big torch too 🙂

Without wishing to make a sweeping statements that will get the budding statisticians all foamy-mouthed, but the fact that they've had a go at yours means you're probably safer than the average now; so sleep easy x

No screw drivers - powertools all they way 🙂

I wish it were the case but since I have lived here there has been a steady stream of attempts to get my bikes. They have succeeded twice - the first was my old kawasaki and they then got my Orange. The police recivered the motorbike and I recovered the orange.

Just have to be so careful and hope one day I can afford to live somewhere better :-/

Did make me feel like i needed a man around briefly

Nope, just one of these:

Seychelles? Let me know if you need a Business Analyst when you get there 🙂

I need one of those? To take my pedals off so they can't ride away on my bike, or maybe I could throw the pedals at them - time pedals are fairly hefty so they would hurt I guess.

Or just attack them with it - yes you would, wouldn't you .... (just in case we drifting too far off topic!)

Ah yes I would also do the Seychelles too!

Nope, just one of these:

I have no idea what that is.... 😯

Pedal spanner 🙂

Edit: just looked at it from a different angle *scrubs brain* - things not to do with a pedal spanner spring to mind

Accept this thread is now massively OT, but what does that deliver that a 16mm spanner or a selection of allen keys doesn't?!

Long leverage and thinner than an average spanner to get in the smaller gap - most regular spanners are too fat and short

Are we getting back on topic?

If we're doing some cones on an old DX hub then I get it, but a pedal?!...and leverage doesn't sell me.

No, not yet!

EDIT: Nigella Lawson to rectify situation. Night!

I dont own one - just borrowed one to remove some pedals that had been in my old bike for 7 years - they were a little stuck :-/

Each to their own but I wouldnt! 😉

I thought of another way of expressing my bafflement/amazement. My attraction-o-meter goes something like this:

-1: Dislike person
0: Person invisible to me
1: Person tolerable
2: Person personable
3: Enjoy person's company
4: Would go out with socially
5: Would get playful with
6: Would get frisky with
7: Would get very frisky with
8: Would date/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
9: Would continue dating
10:Would marry (in theory, not got to 10 yet!)

But it seems there are others who's list might look more like this:

-1: Dislike person/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
0: Person invisible to me/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
1: Person tolerable/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
2: Person personable/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
3: Enjoy person's company/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
4: Would go out with socially/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
5: Would get playful with/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!
6: Would get frisky with/bedroom (kitchen/car/park) athletics are go!

Nice one Tucker! 😀

Tucker FTW! 😆

Where on earth does the idea that 'if it's available it's worth fornicating with regardless' come from?
