I've told you.

I've also told you that I've told you.

And I've just told you above that I've told you that I've told you!

fk me, would you like me to come round, find it for you and read it out aloud to you? biggrin

SCROLL UP PAUL!

As for you taking advice - well that's not ever going to happen is it? You don't want help you just want validation that it's not your fault - it's all them nasty shallow vapid consumerist fat wimmin's fault. After all, anyone that suggests otherwise is a 'White Knight', right?

It's pointless conversing with you so I'll say it again for one last time, good luck Paul.

Over and out! smile
PMS?

You don't get it either. I don't care if a girl rejects me. That's what equality is all about. It has however gotten to a point where I question if it's worth actively pursuing girls.

I beg to differ. You're coming over as a little vexed about this subject, for someone so laid back

Rich_W said:
I find it odd that MSW>30 reject EVERYONE. THIS was the point of the thread.

How do you know they are rejecting everyone? Maybe the ones you know keep a bit of their private life, you know, private?

Rich_W said:
Years back I went on a night out with a girl-friend (ie a mate) and her 4 girl mates. (I must have looked like a proper pimp only guy in a group of 6 biggrin ) I liked one of them and dropped some hints. But she wasn't interested in me.
Hello Friendzone, population you. Unless you looked like their Gay Best Friend?

Rich_W said:
She runs a small business. She had bought her own flat. She has a brain. She's perfectly pleasant. No weirdness that I know of. We're Facebook friends and even now and then over the last years we'd see each other at mutual events and have a chat. Since then she has not had a SINGLE boyfriend. I've seen her pics on POF and Tinder, since she lives about 2 miles from me and is in the same age range. Why would she not find ANYBODY to have even a casual relationship with in that time?
Unless you are stalking her every movement, how do you know? Maybe she's a Unicorn Hunter, that's her right. She hasn't swiped right on you, so what?

Rich_W said:
Explain to us WHY MSW>30 are moaning about not finding a suitable guy and not "settling for less" They aren't running a mile from me. They are running a mile from EVERYONE
Most "MSW>30" that I know have grown up in an era where they learn from home, school, the media, their friends that they can achieve anything they want and don't need to 'settle'. Good, it's not 1950 any more. Some are happilly single and don't need or want to depend on a man. Some have been treated badly and don't want to be hurt by a tt again. Some are desperate for children but only want to have them with Mr Right, and are holding out hope that he will come round the corner one day. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Some don't want kids so are very happy with the status quo of their lives sans sprogs. Some are golddiggers and you need more gold. Some probably just don't fancy you. Some probably do fancy you but are crushingly shy, or are traditional and despite being 'out there' on dating sites would prefer a man to do the 'asking', so to speak. Much as they admire Samantha from Sex In The City, being her is a different kettle of fish.

Ultimately you can't give all women of this age a label like "MSW>30". Women are people, and all people are different. In my dating history no two women were anywhere near the same and I fear your mistake is trying to generalise about women as if they are all the same. TBH on this thread you come across as somebody who over-analyses people. How does that come across in person, I wonder?

Agreed.
You're carrying a King Cobra antidote jab whilst going for a winter walk on the Yorkshire Moors.
So whilst certainly well prepared, the act is ultimately pointless and more than a bit strange.

If you are planning for a divorce don't get married. Hiding assets in any case says that the relationship is a sham and any good divorce lawyer will do a fairly thorough scan of your social media posts, credit rating, earnings and so on. It makes the divorce massively more expensive and does not work too well unless you are so driven that you have offshore bank accounts which then lead you to personal tax problems if undeclared. My wife knows what my investments are, and my income...sees my tax returns. Wh have a joint back for joint stuff, separate accounts for our individual stuff. It in no way restricts what I choose to spend.

Rich_w of course she'll have relationships. Dates etc. She might like it non committal, a sort of arrangement.

It was a joke. rolleyes

Hence why I hinted I think "real fat" starts at 14
Even though the average size of a woman is 16?

So the "average" woman is fat.

I've been with many women from size 8 to size 16 and they all think they are fat. So I'm not sure where people are getting the whole "women don't think they are fat when they are". If anything, it's the opposite.

None of them were really "fat" in my eyes.

As a woman it's very hard having the media constantly showing you perfect (read photoshopped) models saying "this is how you should be"....
From a POF profile "size 14 with floppy boobs and a tubby tummy".
The photo with this profile shows a woman who is definitely overweight.
Although she puts herself in the "average body type" she does admit she has a fat tummy.

So whilst to some people average means size 10-12, to others it means size 14 upwards as their friends, etc are that size so they think they are average but in reality they are fat.

Of course that 'fat' size fourteen woman might also be a great laugh, have a warm loving personality, be super supportive, lots of friends, passionate, independent, great career and generally be an all round wonderful person.

Which, some might argue, is better than being with someone soulless vapid whiney self obsessed and shallow, but who is a size 8.

Which is kind of the point I was trying to make earlier. Maybe be a little less obsessed with how impressed your mates will be with your 'model' girlfriend, accept that not everyone is physically perfect (including ourselves!) and concentrate on just finding someone who is nice. smile

But what do I know, I'm just a White Knight. biggrin





Who happens to be dating a very sorted, independent, active (skis, dives, rides horses) healthy, successful, happy, loving, size 16 lady. Oh the horror!laugh

Bring on the rosy-cheeked girls
The smiling ones, the light-footed dancers,
Those that sing with their eyes,
Those with the warm breasts and soft hands,
Those that look deep in the eyes,
Not at the garbage of garb.
Bring on the dark, the fair, the brown as a berry,
Bring them all on with their wet laughing mouths,
The fat, the thin, the short, and the lanky,
But let them be filled of life as a pod with peas,
Let them feel as company comfortable as an old friendly jacket,
young or old,
And most of all . . . let them be merry.

And then take all the others,
All the tight-lipped, crab-faced, mewling, mithering,
Niggardly, sour-faced, crab-mouthed,
Cold-titted, tight-arced, moaning,
Sullen, frozen-legs-together,
Money-grubbing bhes, and
Take them and heap them together
On some blear and dreary moor
In the howling sleet
And moaning drizzle of November. . . and leave them there,
For it deserves them And they each other.

Then bring on the lads,
The smiling lads,
The open-handed, shoulder-to-the-wheel lads,
Lame dogs helped over stiles lads,
Take a pint, stand a corner lads,
Good laughing lads,
Lads with a quart of life in their hands
And eyes that look straight . . .
Bring on the tall, the short, the long,
The runners, the walkers,
Those that can hammer, those that can turn out a song
Bring on the fat, the thin, the bald and the hairy,
Young or old,
So long as they sup life by the gallon . . .
So long as they’re merry.

Then take all the others,
The sly-eyed, twisty-mouthed grabbers and fumblers,
The shifty-faced, two-tongued, leadswinging lizards,
The snotty-nosed, mardy-arsed bullies
And false friends . . .
And stick them up to their necks
In the foulest stink-pot of an old bog
You can find . . . head down . ..
And leave them there.

But for God’s sake not too near
That moor with all the old wes . . .
If they meet up and breed
We’re all buggered.

It seems some think you should only try to meet people you find physically unattractive or you'll never be able to have a meaningful relationship as all those who society might consider to be attractive are vacuous creatures devoid of likeable personalities.

I guess that's one interpretation, if you live in the kind of binary world where there is only ever black or white.

Fortunately I live in a world full of colour, so...

So why all the gushing about a poem that gives a similar viewpoint? Is it because of the pretty prose or is it because that's actually what you believe to be true? You may claim to be colourblind but you do appear to be short-sighted in this regard.

To summarise what I'm getting from some opinions so far: "Physically attractive people are not partner material nor are they nice people. Only date ugly people because they're interesting, kind and pleasant. Never the twain shall meet"
