Ok, I really shouldn't post this just before I leave work for the day, but I'll check it again in the morning and see if anyone has bothered to reply.
In short I have a friend in her mid 30's, slim, fairly attractive (no boils/warts etc) who is unable to find a nice decent bloke.
She has joined a few dating sites and had a couple of first dates, but has never had a second date and some didn't even stay through out the first date (throwing back a pint, excusing themselves for a bathroom break, and legging it)
She has a job, is financially stable, ok she does have the occasional odd moment, but c'mon we all do.
So come on there must be a nice guy somewhere near Reading who would be interested?????
And before you ask, no I'm not posting a picture, she hasn't really given her permission for me to ask on here
PS - mods, it's been a while so my apologies if I'm doing anything that breaks the rules. Please delete this thread if I am.
Thanks

Oh my holy Jesus...this is going to be such a fun thread.

Thats pretty rude to run off and will kill self esteem! I really feel sorry for her and hope you I mean she finds someone that suits her.
She should not try so hard.
Age doesn't matter but you do tend to find some weird lady in her 30's but people focus on career etc.
Hmm but networking on stw??? are crazy??? I would ride alone with half the nutters on here let alone offer a date with a lady friend!
Women over 30;
sane, attractive, single
pick two.
some didn't even stay through out the first date (throwing back a pint, excusing themselves for a bathroom break, and legging it)
With that kind of form I think her options are limited to only SFB.
"I have a friend"...
'ok she does have the occasional odd moment, but c'mon we all do'
Bunny Boiler. 😆
This will reach triple figures, unless it gets pulled...
This isn't going to turn out well...
Im sure you friend is going to be chuffed you have brought her to the attention of the STW hordes.
Edit: ....and also flattered that you describe her as ' fairly attractive'.
Maybe I should have kept it for Friday....

Meanwhile, pulls up a comfortable chair and pours a long drink...

Sane and attractive.
That wasn't difficult was it.

Well thats not a good sign... 😀
Well she was the one who mentioned stw may be worth a try as she was looking at the massive photo thread a year or so ago....

Hmmmmm - i think I'm going to be in trouble....
no boils or warts??
on that basis, i'm out
Hmmmmm - i think I'm going to be in trouble....
Nah you should be ok....well until SFB turns up and tries pissing on the internet to mark his territory.
Buy her a bike.
Take her to Swinley.
Leave her in the woods, with a flat tyre.
Wait for men to buzz around like flies, offering to help.
Ask them for drinkies as a thank-you.
Sorted.
Sorry, but I cant stop grinning. There'll be a fair few it workers changing into their best star wars t-shirts round about now 😉
Well if I put stunner... and she does give me the go ahead to post a pic.... and you disagree, it's going to be even worse....

Ok she likes dogs (dog people are all nice aren't they?)
She's about 5'8 slim (size8/10) brunette
With that kind of form I think her options are limited to only SFB.
exactly why do I have to be the last resort ?
I'm a bloke, near Reading pretty much happy to be up any girl's cr.....
What sites she on, name, I'll find her and give on honest STW review.
this is going to give the headset thread a run for its money...
no boils/warts etc
etc?
What's a man supposed to hold onto?
dog people are all nice aren't they?

I'm guessing Juan's arse gave her the impression we're all easy on here, yes?
She has been to Swinley, did enjoy it, so has mtb potential, although not currently into anything to technical.
.
She's rather active so has the fitness level to keep up on most firetrack type riding
I'll find her and give on honest STW review.
S****...
I have to be shallow. (I'm taken btw)
She's not uber fat is she?
Does she talk about wedding plans on first dates?
I heard a lot of married people go on these dating sites!
Maybe change the methodology of the date.

*smirks*
OP are you serious? If so she needs to vet her dates a bit better. Good luck to her on here though!
"has mtb potential"
made me smile 🙂
SouthernYeti - I know she's on Match, but I don't pay attention to her user names...
.
Jamie- erm yeah ok, maybe not all dog people
.
PedalHead - I don't think she saw that post....
Oh i forgot to say congrats for posting what will be the quickest growing thread of the week 😉
TB bit more info.... I'll find her out......
She's not uber fat is she?
- nope rather slim actually
Does she talk about wedding plans on first dates?
- not as far as I'm aware, but I don't attend first dates with her
The Southern Yeti:
TB bit more info.... I'll find her out......
That does not sound menacing at all.
@The Southern Yeti - no info that can actually ID her.

PS - I am happily taken and have just had a darling little junior mtb'er so this really is a friend

There, that'll get some volunteers.
Maybe she should scour the photo thread and make some suggestions/preferences?
do love the shirt changing comment 🙂
Is she filled with the love from the light of our lord? (bible basher)
I think barnsleymitch's first post is the most apt answer really!
and love the tags 🙂
I was tempted to post some of the guys she thought were "quite tasty" but I wouldn't want to inflate some over the already over inflated ego's on here 😉
and nope - non religious
Ok, I really shouldn't post this just before I leave work for the day, but I'll check it again in the morning and see if anyone has bothered to reply.

Is she in to.....?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=singletrackworld
Singletrackworld- A website populated by portly mid life crisis sufferers with delusions of gradeur, who think that riding around on an expensive push bike somehow makes up for their dull job in engineering or IT.
Various cliques can be found on this website. The most amusing being the ones who pretend to like something purely so they can be on first name terms with a washed up ex bike journalist come budget bike company owner or some muppet who draws pictures of sheep and waffles on in a pretentious manner. The actual condiment is more entertaining.
"I'm an overwieght, stuffy, pompous engineer with a lack of personality is there anywhere I can go to have petty arguements with people just like me?"
"Of course there is, try singletrackworld"
Ok, I'm out of here - will respond to posts in the morning

>some didn't even stay through out the first date (throwing back a pint, excusing themselves for a bathroom break, and legging it)
That's a bit rude.
Probably say more about the blokes she's been matched up with than anything else. Well, unless she goes along with a bridalwear catalogue, of course !
FWIW, my OH reckoned if she wound up single she'd start going to comedy clubs - they inevitably do the 'put your hand up if you're single' thing at some point, I'm sure it's to help out 😉
Not to mention someone's got to have a decent sense of humour to be there..
I've got one mate who did try online dating for a fair while - ironically he met his GF/partner when she joined his climbing club.
Does she have any hobbies/interests (or have enough interst in anything worth cultivating?)
damnit

Ok she likes dogs
I love dogs, woof woof.
some didn't even stay through out the first date (throwing back a pint, excusing themselves for a bathroom break, and legging it)
I've had a few dates where I'd have liked to have done that if I'd had the nerve 🙁 One woman brought her 7 year old daughter along - and it was more interesting talking to the child 😐
does she shag on first date?
i'd be willing to travel...
8)
does she shag on first date?
weren't you listening ? She never got to find out 🙁
Does she shag before the first date then?
What's this headset thread? Anyone got a link?
I'm guessing she shags during.... quick wipe on the curtain and leave.
She's about 5'8 slim (size8/10) brunette
ok she does have the occasional odd moment,
COAB I think she might be my ex..................if you substitute 'occassional odd moment' for 'raving, psychotic loony on a regular basis' 😯

You went out with her too?!
I think there might be a few of them 😉
I went for a haircut yesterday and received some sound adviced "just shagem and chuck 'em out in the morning, that's what I used to do". Thanks for that ................Linda 😆
Where is you get your haircut Woody I'm due another trim? 😉
Anyone got a room to let in Reading?
This has got to be the funniest thread running.
tinker-belle, seriously though, I hope your friend finds someone suitable. There are eligible single blokes around in their 30s, but they do get a bit thin on the ground. Unfortunately, in many cases, there's a good reason why a bloke is still single at that age.
However, there is some halfway sensible advice being given on this thread.
What's this about a headset thread, has anyone got the link?
Drac - believe me, you wouldn't need to be chucked out once the beer googles were removed - you'd be on your toes!
Good job I have no hair then Woody.
Oh dear.
Well it had to be asked I suppose.
changing into their best star wars t-shirts round about now
(Reads OP; goes to put on best Star Wars socks, reads Barnsleymitch's post; decides to slink away quietly, hoping no-one has noticed)
Well, I'd say positing up her details and pics on here would be perhaps the [i]worst[/i] idea, really, judging by the sheer level of idiocy. 🙁
Get her a bike, and take her out on group rides with you. She'll get to meet people in a relaxed, non-threatening and comfortable atmosphere. Other similar activities are good obviously. The sort of thing where she can get to meet the same people a few times, hopefully strike up positive, happy undemanding relationships with others. The more you force the issue, the more fraught with difficulty and disappointment it can become.
Pubs/clubs etc are probably some of the worst places for someone looking for a relationship really, especially if you're not 18.
Don't put her pic up on here, ffs. If some of the replies on here are anything to go by, the response to such madness could be catastrophic.
Mantastic
You're just being picky now 🙄
tinker-belle - whatever you do don't put a picture of your friend up here. Remember what happened to you 😉
I did this very thing in reverse on the 'shecycles' website about 5 years ago, getting a really good response from the ladies, concerning 3 single male friends of mine.
Quality - Oh how i will enjoy reading the posts in a few hours when drink has been taken by a few of the regulars. This poor lass will be doing a sharki if she finds out about this.
Tazzymtb - PMSL wrong in so many ways.
Men, as by now you will obviously know, are all bastards. You need to find her one that's less bastard than most others.
I doubt you'll find such a rare beast on here. 🙁
LOL at
doing a sharki
That's going into my vocab

And the very same thinking applies to single women too - they're ultimately single for a reason.
