Broke up with my boyfriend……..

Edukator, I’m may be being very slow/tired its 20 past 12 here, and I had 2hours sleep last night, but I don’t get what the last bit of your post is on about?

The only thing edukator thinks he knows about his own posts is how important he thinks it makes him feel

And STR, do one. Your posts are neither funny nor interesting. Find someone else’s chips to piss on you ****

😯

STR, once again you prove to be a self-obsessed preening insecure ****, whose deepest relationship is with the mirror.

WheelieGood, you seem like a great person, I’m sure things will all work out for the best – sending good vibes!

Zokes you are an excellent friend!!

Chiefgrooveguru thanks.

Am now off to pick up some stuff from the house boyfriend will be there, not looking forward to this, funny how a person that made you feel so safe can instantly turn into the most scary person in the world to have to face. Got to go do it tho.

Don’t worry too much if you don’t fancy her, STR, you’re probably not her type anyway. I hope I’m not being presumptuous here, but I’ve seen nothing to suggest she likes insensitive jerks.

*arrives waaaay late to the party*

*Fixes hair, smoothes eyebrows, twizzles ends of moustache, caresses beard into shape*

Well, hello there my lovely…..

Back to the real world, throw yourself into single life, get out into the world, have fun. From the little I’ve read of this thread you seem to be in a great part of the world to have a great time so do that, if mr right presents himself, great. If he doesn’t, you’ve still had a great time and I’m here 😉

Edit, for when you pop round to his, take bombers, and be sure to wee in his shoes….

STR, you sir are a….

Wheelie good – Member
I’m aware I am distinctly average

nowt wrong with that, I pride myself on being it to be honest, but i’m also fairly unique, as those whom have met me will agree, as for my 2p worth and words of wisdom, just do what you need to do and what feels right, there are no instruction manuals so make mistakes and learn from them, keep smiling and remember to breathe….

STR.. You come come across as a deeply unpleasant person, I’m sure you don’t care though, people like you tend not to bother about anyone other than themselves.

O.P genuinely sounds like you’ve dodged a bullet. It’s tough now but go and enjoy yourself it does get better!!

OP He would of brought you down and used you so your better off away from his drug invested brain. Enjoy the Aussie sun ride your Yeti smile and get on with enjoying the rest of your stay, don’t give him another thought he’s a waste of space.

Wheelie – apologies for my comments last night. I was extremely drunk – doesn’t make it acceptable, but I’m sorry nonetheless. You seem lovely by the way x

Just seen your comments. Pissed or not, you come across as quite a nasty person.

Wheelie – I may concede that you are’nt Bernard then. 😀

This place turned into facebook? For what it’s worth wheelie? Get off here and go and live your life. Tinterweb can be a scary place and not the best place to bare your soul.

All the best!

Not overly fussed about what you think to be honest – just sorry that I may have offended Wheelie. Just about sums up the hypocrisy of this place though – if Wheelie had been a bloke she/he would have been crucified in the same situation!

Don’t waste too much time pining about the ex. You have a Yeti, and you’re in Australia. Ride the bike, meet new people, and enjoy being single while you are.

I’m sure someone better will be along as soon as you want them to, IF you want them to. People having fun are always more attractive, people riding bikes and having fun are even more attractive!

Good luck with it all.

sums up the hypocrisy of this place though

Agree with that; very lenient on the female folk around these parts.

Pete is a short-arse

It’s not often you get to look down on someone, is it. Literally speaking, of course…

🙂

Artist is right though – some of the, quite frankly, creepy responses to OP (amongst the genuinely well meaning ones) are worse than what he said – oafish as it was 😀

A bloke would have, quite rightly, been slaughtered. Seriously, regaling a load of strangers with your private life on a forum probably aint a wise thing – go and do some stuff, ‘man up’ and enjoy life 😛

You’ll be sound and life is too short to expose yourself to some of the tinterweb stalkers you’ll attract.

Agree with that; very lenient on the female folk around these parts.

Is that some sort of joke ?

STW is very clearly a female unfriendly environment, the clue being in the almost total lack of female contributors.

I’ve seen this place go from a once small but regular female presence, to just a tiny handful of very brave women who only very occasionally post.

And that sort of moronic and insensitive comment by TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR is exactly what is likely to keep women from contributing on here.

Something which the mods obviously don’t see as a major problem as it has never appeared to have been treated as a priority, so carry on.

Give over ernie – what keeps women from posting on here is the lather that a couple of dozen sexually frustrated blokes seem to get themselves into every time one appears.

Wheelies had 6 pages of positive attention – some genuinely well meaning and some blatant letching. If she can’t take one comment from me, however insensitive then maybe she shouldn’t offer herself up like that.

I’ve posted pictures of myself (usually when drunk – hmm, methinks maybe I should stop using the internet drunk) and come in for the appropriate amount of flack when I have done – and usually taken the flack in good spirit.

Ernie +1

+1 to Artist – for what he just posted, not what he said to OP. 😀

Well bugger me, earnie +1

And STR: what makes you think you have any right making comments like you did? Or trying to justify them by saying “he said worse”?

Just grow a pair, accept you’re wrong, and move on. What are you? Twelve? **** head.

I feel it’s just the same as walking into a pub populated by only men, you will get some that just ignore your presence, some that will make a play for you or just be lewd, others that will be a bit arsey because your in ‘man territory’

edit – opps forgot to say also there are some guys who will talk to you normally and are genuinely interested in wht you might have to say

I don’t find it unfriendly – as girls we do tend to learn to ignore attention when we don’t need it – and maybe court it slightly when we do as it can make you feel a bit better.

I’m sure WG can ignore the comments that aren’t very pleasant.

I think sometimes male company when you are a bit down is good as you will tend to get more of the life

goes on/ pick yourself up and put it behind you comments whereas women can want to dissect every last detail of why and how it went wrong

As for bearing your all on here – i am pleasantly surprised by how many blokes do. and yes they do get a ribbing but not when its a real crisis and its good to see how much support there is for each other.

Plus the fact if you are a girl who is into mountainbiking i am sure you are well used to the company of boys and all the fun that goes with it – i think i am fairly unshockable now

And STR: what makes you think you have any right making comments like you did, or trying to justify them by saying “he said worse”

Just grow a pair, accept you’re wrong, and move on. What are you? Twelve? **** head.

What makes me think I have any right? I have as much right to express my opinion on here as you have to start insulting me for doing so.

I’m not trying to justify anything with ‘he said worse’ I’m merely emphasising the fact that if you big yourself up and then post photos of yourself you are setting yourself up for a fall, as I well know. Should I have not said what I said because it was insensitive, or because it was aimed at a woman?

I know I was wrong to put it and duly apologised.

The only difference being if we were all in a pub, and STR came out with that line, I suspect there would have been a queue of WGs friends ready to flatten him. It’s all very well making offensive comments from behind your keyboard, but just remember it is a real person on the end of them. In this instance, that real person happens to be a friend of mine, hence why I might appear a little narked.

I would suggest that if you can’t handle your beer, STR, then stick to lemonade, if you’re planning on opening your mouth in public.

Plus the fact if you are a girl who is into mountainbiking i am sure you are well used to the company of boys and all the fun that goes with it – i think i am fairly unshockable now

So as a woman you need to pass a toughness test and become “unshockable” to post on here ?

It’s about time I left this one alone probably, but zokes – I’d love to see these offensive comments I made cos I can’t find them. Insensitive maybe, but offensive – really?

Can we drag this back to the topic in hand please guys? We are in danger of returning to a well-worn dead-end topic which I’m sure has it’s time and place but not here.

OP, you are somewhere warm and sunny with a Yeti, I’m sure those two things will help enormously in keeping you sane, go and enjoy them 😀 Sadly, I have to wait until October before I will be in Oz with a Yeti. (We’ve still not seen pics of yours by the way)

Ernie – I have’nt seen anything ‘shocking’ anywhere tbh. Adjustable seems to have a commendable attitude to life and blokes in general – are you trying to make an issue out of a molehill, by any chance? 🙂

no ernie i dont believe i said you needed to pass any toughness test

I meant in general i have spent a lot of time in the company of men – as they do tend to be the ones i ride with, and i have lots of male friends

so generally i am used to their banter/innuendo/humour and am generally unshockable – i don’t feel it was a prerequisite to joining or commenting on this forum but maybe helps

Just because we are female it doesn’t mean we are all fragile and easily offended 🙂

I hope wheelie has a great time in Oz and has been reassured by all the support she’s received

How about you show us a few pictures of things (some trails and other interesting things) in Aus.

The picture is taken in bad light with the OP in a hoodie and I think she is attractive so she must be definitely good looking IRL.

Sure she’ll get over it. Not always easy when you’ve had a bad ‘un but sometimes you just need to have a look around you, take stock of where you’re at and maybe realise that you are in a pretty good place in life compared to some of the other poor sods in the world.

Set your face to the sun, march on with your life and get the most you can out of it – you aint got forever!

Anyone that does’nt want you is’nt worth wasting time over – it really is that simple you know.

I don’t know I leave my thread for a few hours and it descends in to some sort of chaos! You can all calm down, I’m not offended, it’s a public forum you get to say what you like, that’s how it works, your opinions are you own, we don’t all have to agree.

Adjustablewench, you have it spot on as far as I’m concerned!

I’m in a much better mood tonight, dinner with a friend and a ride tomorrow, got most my stuff from the idiots house, most importantly my bikes! Am now definitely in phase two of recovery, the anger/go for a big long ride phase!

As wheelie was so good to do so, we should all post pics of ourselves and let her comment, its only fair. Here’s me in office casual dress:

Ernie – I have’nt seen anything ‘shocking’ anywhere tbh.

Which presumably makes adjustable’s comment “i am fairly unshockable” pointless ? Is that what you’re trying to say ?

Just because we are female it doesn’t mean we are all fragile and easily offended

“Not all people are the same shocka”

No, not all women are the same. And not all men are the same. Some men ‘are all fragile and easily offended’. I once called Woppit a “tit” and he hit the report button and I was banned for two days, I kid you not.

brilliant news!! – enjoy your riding 😀

go for a big long ride phase!

Best bit 🙂
Have fun.
