[TurboTomato]

On a side note - do you know how hard it is to get a forum friendly picture of the Titmuss..!! I had to shuffle through hundreds... all so you guys didn't have to! I am so generous

I feel your plight!

[Lee Bartholomew]

Definitely just you.


There speaks the voice of Hastings...

It's what Hastings is famous for.

Hastings Castle - Built by Hookers to house Hookers

Cliff Railway - Used to transport Hookers

Fishing Fleet - Used to feed the hookers (and provide an alteria reason for the overwhealming smell of fish)

1066 Battle of Hastings - Argument over a pimp charging too much for a hooker.

Euwww!

Are you sure you want Seriously Addicted to know that you feel his plight and want to share his load?

Well - with the kind of attitude she's shown in posting that ad, she's got a thousand times more chance of it happening than if she sat around feeling sorry for herself and moaning about men being rubbish.

Thing is...even if she does find a man, but is prone to moaning about how rubbish they all are, she will still be moaning when she has found one.

Why do you think she is still single? She clearly thinks she will find a perfect man as some point in her life...and that, my friend, would be like trying to find rocking horse sh1te.

errr Gav!! I did see a rocking horse down in the shed.

It must be to be such a mind-reader, can you teach me how you do it?

Why do you think she is still single?

I couldn't begin to speculate. Are you saying that any single woman in her 30's is clearly a Complete Weirdo?

She clearly thinks she will find a perfect man as some point in her life...

She does? Where'd you get that from?

The phrase "leap to conclusions" seems for some reason to be in my mind...

Yep, right next to the box of hen's teeth. I'm sick of cleaning up that rocking horses sh1t though

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying...err...hang on a minute..

Actually, I think Frank Skinner said something along those lines a few years ago. Didn't stop a load of thirty something women throwing themselves at him though. I wonder what they found attractive in Frank, the millionaire?

May be cause she finds herself better alone than with one of those "rubbish" (quote) men you're talking about?

Note that you're the only one on that thread talking about a 'perfect man'...

The lady is 'just' looking for a husband.

Exactly...! I think

[Double Trouble]

Oh..is that right? You think she is happy on her own?

So you think that ad was tongue in cheek and it's all a big joke?

Maybe she see's this as a numbers game...she doesn't mind trawling through all the 'rubbish' if it increases her chances of finding someone half decent.

If that is the case, and she wants all the agro...good luck to her. Lets hope she doesn't stumble across and rapists, stalkers or freaks along the way.

[jivecat]

Remuneration doesn't include sex, so far as I can see, and therefore as far as I'm concerned the package isn't sufficiently attractive!

And if she'd been explicit about what she was planning to offer in terms of sex can you imagine the sort of riff-raff she'd have attracted?

Oops sorry, Barry, I wasn't meaning to imply.....

Read between the lines - she said she missed being in a relationship. This is code for "dying for a shag". Among other things, of course.

Good on her, IMO. My gut reaction to her video clip was that she was a nice, likeable, normal woman with plenty to offer. If speed/computer/small ad dating is considered perfectly OK these days, I don't know why anyone's making a fuss about her approach which I thought was witty, enterprising and direct.

If her friends laugh at her, then they ain't friends. If you did that and your friends laughed at you wouldn't you ditch them? If a friend of yours did it would you laugh at them? ***.

[Double Trouble]

The point is...I wouldn't (and I don't know any sane person that would actually) do it in the first place.

I don't know if you are single or not, jivecat, but can I ask you...would you do it? I'd laugh at you if you did, but we are not friends so it doesn't matter.

[David Bailey]

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying...err...hang on a minute..

Oh..is that right? You think she is happy on her own?

Nope, but I think she's shown wit, originality, honesty, creativity and intelligence. I bet she'll get a lot of offers.

Maybe she see's this as a numbers game...she doesn't mind trawling through all the 'rubbish' if it increases her chances of finding someone half decent.

Errr, OK.

That;'s opposed to the Secret Foolproof Method Of Finding A Good Partner, which doesn't involve lots of work then?

If that is the case, and she wants all the agro...good luck to her. Lets hope she doesn't stumble across and rapists, stalkers or freaks along the way.

Yeah, coz you only ever meet nutters online - people you meet in pubs (for example) are obviously a much better bet...

[Caro]

You think she is happy on her own?

Well at some point you have to decide whether you want to be/stay in a non-satisfying relationship or be alone. My take is that since she's single, she seems to have opted for the latter.
Clearly she states that she would be happier with a husband, but she probably is happier alone now than with a random man which she would keep just for fear of being alone, or worse, lack of (financial or emotional) independance. (you're following?)

So you think that ad was tongue in cheek and it's all a big joke?

euh, no.

Maybe she see's this as a numbers game...she doesn't mind trawling through all the 'rubbish' if it increases her chances of finding someone half decent.

god who would do that

If that is the case, and she wants all the agro...good luck to her. Lets hope she doesn't stumble across and rapists, stalkers or freaks along the way.

Being a HR professional, she surely has thought of some fairly reliable selection process to avoid those

[Lee Bartholomew]

The internet. Where men are men and so are half the women.

Most nutters i've ever had the miss fortune of dating have come from dancing !!!!!

BTW I think she's got a sense of humor for doing that. Bet she bangs like a barn door in a storm too.

Shut up DJ. My point was there would be a much higher volume of men with the ad, where in a pub, you are not going to have hundreds of men, all at once, seeking your attention.

Unless you are me, of course.

Erm, well I've posted someone else's details for them in a similar ad once or twice. We all had a good laugh at their expense. Fortunately we knew they could take a joke in advance (although the ads might have been worse if they couldn't ).

How far will people travel for the perfect partner? hmm, 101 miles
