Dating tips for a middle aged man – please!

😆

Another was a diabetic that injected herself during dinner in a busy restaurant!

They do have a habit of doing that, it’s like they don’t want to end up going blind, having bits amputated, and you know, dying and that.
🙄

Lol Shibboleth…maybe its the aftershave?!

And Cinnamon girl, do you know why he got a load of flack? Surely as a woman who loves a bit of MTB action you (as in a woman, not actually you) would be sensible enough to predict the dynamic of the day and bask in the ego boost of it all? 😛

She didn’t have to do it in a busy restaurant, especially after I’d told her I couldn’t even watch Holby City due to my fear of needles.

It’s like those militant breast feeders. Yeah, we know you have to do it, and you have every right to do it anywhere, but really??? Do you really have to do it whilst people are trying to eat???

In a bid to avoid a repeat of that “dynamic”, I’m more than happy to take both Andysbeans and Cinnamon Girl for a ride round the Lancashire Pennines…

But its ok for guys to get their todgers out in front of a load of complete strangers in order to pee? Albiet in general nobody would be eating around you (hopefully!) but I find that a little bizarre.

Is it? I’d always turn slightly to preserve my modesty… And certainly wouldn’t dream of doing it in mixed company.

Having said that, I did try one of those public urinals in Picadilly Gardens… Quite liberating it was too! 😳

Now we know why you’re still single.
Yes, diabetics have to inject when their insulin levels drop. What do you suggest she does, drop into a fit so you can continue to be squeamish?

As for breast-feeding – why not? Feeding is what adults do in a restaurant, why not babies? Babies’ hunger is not subject to standard dining hours. If it needs food, it gets food.

Somehow I suspect you’re either not a father, or are somewhat repressed.

🙂

I was lead to believe there was a whole etiquette to using the urinals, so as to avoid having to stare at each other’s todgers?

Eat? Isn’t that what the baby is doing? Would you like it if people found the manner in which you ate so offensive they expected you to do it in the toilets? Tit. Literally.

Thats my point Rachel, nobody has to look at breast feeding women either. Peeing and breast feeding are 2 of the most natural things a person can do…I’m sure some women pee and breast feed at the same time and if they do that in public whilst eating and injecting insulin into their brains they’ve probably been on a date with Shibboleth!!

Jojo, until you can learn to detect sarcasm, I’d keep your insults to yourself. 🙄

So there we have it,the single man of a certain age,in search of a woman,should avoid breastfeeding in public,and learn to pee in public.Or am I missing something?

It would be interesting to hear from the folk that went on the social networking forum ride … anyone care to comment?

Perhaps they’re all too loved up to waste time on here,unlike the rest of us.

No, you’re spot on thejesmonddingo…after all it is Friday night 😆

Awww, I love happy endings Jesmonddingo! 🙂

Shibbeth, my apologies. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well in text… And you forgot a winky… Sorry! Breastfeeding being seen as somehow unnatural is one of the few things that makes me see red 🙂

Shibboleth, I detect you are being slightly misunderstood, it happens to me all the fxxking time!

Quite alright jojo, I’ll wink in future… 😉

What do you mean?

[edit, sorry… 😉 ]

With your breastfeeding comment man, keep up! 🙄 😉

Funnily enough,my wife breastfed our son in public as needed,no negative comments,you don’t have to flash your tits,so why does anyone object to one of the most natural things in the world? I suspect the objectors are repressed,and looking for a sexual implication that isn’t there.

Erm… Misunderstood… What do you… Oh never mind 😉

I’m off to watch Corrie and drink a lonely bottle of wine… 🙁

Lonely?… Middle aged perhaps? …You should try a dating site!

*winky*

Middle aged??? Nooo… I don’t think so, is mid-thirties middle-aged??

Harrumph.

Can someone organise another singles ride? I quite like the idea of being chased by 200 men? 😀

Ah, actually I’ve just spotted a flaw in that plan – I’m so slow on a bike I’d be chasing the men 😳

Gotcha shibboleth…eventually…. 💡

Why don’t ‘we’ just organise one? Do we need a scapegoat when it ends as badly as I predict?

Are you who I think you are lady Gresley? (JJ?)

Just come on the bogtrotters ride tomorrow. 6 or 7 women attending and about the same in men. Yorkshire Dales

Ah, I already have plans tomorrow. The trotters ride round my neck of the woods quite often, I’m north of Preston, Trough of Bowland area.

Where’s the ride? Aren’t they mostly from my area?

Some years ago there was a STW singletons social networking ride organised. I seem to remember that the organisor came in for a lot of flak.

It would be interesting to hear from the folk that went on the social networking forum ride … anyone care to comment?

Hehehe. At least one phone number was swapped that day CG, don’t fear, it wasn’t all in vain! 😉

Didn’t end up going anywhere mind, did meet up for one date and a (bike) ride, but that was it…

Yeh they are and they usually ride near the lakes but tomorrow they’ve changed direction starting from Airton, Mastiles and the rest I can’t remember. £2 to join them, what a ripoff 😉

£2?? Bargain. My Tuesday night group costs a tenner a week… But I get a slap-up feed and 2 pints of finest ale for that…

It’s the only decent meal I get most weeks… 😥

Hmmm, maybe you should stop watching corrie and start learning to cook, women like a man who can cook 8)

I can cook… Should I put that on my POF profile? 🙂

My efforts at sorting out a date are seriously hampered by the fact that I have my kids every weekend. Put paid to all day mountain biking too, but its a price worth paying 🙂

Keep it coming I’m making notes- on a first date:

-no weeing in front of her.

-no injecting stuff

-no breast feeding – why did little Britain just flash before my eyes?

– no combinations of the above

anything else I should avoid?

now all I need is a date!

andysbeans – you got it in one 😉
