Excuse my ignorance here genuine question for all the Pakistanis here, why is the term paki racist? (Always wondered that) does it mean something in their culture?

Why do you think the word 'n*gger' is offensive, Dem?

"In the English language, the word "n*gger" is an ethnic slur, usually directed at black people. The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with black skin,[1] as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger ("black").[2] It was often used disparagingly, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously pejorative, a racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture".

We actually met on eHarmoney which is really strange because it's awful!! About 2 years ago I saw they had a special offer on stating "Buy one year get one free", so there's me thinking a paid service is surely better than the free sites but it's truly horrific. I barely logged in to the site after the first few months.

I used EHarmony too Mr face. It was indeed rubbish. Kind of gave up on it too after a few weeks and a couple of dates. The met my now wife on a night out around town :)

The reason for the question was I wanted to know if it actually means anything as most pakistanis I have asked about it they have said its just racist thats all but from has been said here it seems its like the context used? if someone said to me that effing greek or "greb" I would just laugh at them not deem it racist.was wondering if that was the same kind of example.

God thats lucky then as I bloody hate horses! Thankfully worst I will get is shopping or theatre, but horse riding i would hate! Sounds like a good guy. What site you pick this one up from? tinder, POF? 

Its getting very common nowdays people meet online than in clubs

You said the other week I was lucky as I'm allowed to go on a football trip to Germany on Valentine's Day.

In the interest of balance, my missus has horses.

It's the way it's used. It's mostly used as a nasty pejorative.

Thank you buddy! Hope the same for you! 

We've kinda already spoken about it and we agreed that it's definitely for the best if we have our own activities we like to do without each other otherwise you just spend all your time together. So I have football and she has horse riding, there's absolutely no way I'm going to go and get involved with anything horse riding related and I don't think she would expect it either. She's pretty chilled out so I really don't expect her to want me to do something that I don't want to. :)

Good plan.

My most recent ex said she'd come to the football if I would go with her to do things she liked. She totally loved the football and over the years we were together, she got really into it. I, on the other hand had had to put up with West End Shows (of which Dirty Dancing was the lowlight) and ballet. Not a fair trade.

How the **** do I meet these women.

So I'm talking to this girl, and we're getting on great, she's veggie, loves games and stuff, and she's pretty cute, then somehow the topic of me taking one of my cats to Birmingham to see a specialist vet comes up, and she comes out with "you want to be careful taking him there, the pakis will eat him"

How the actual **** is it possible that that's a thing that someone would say. Jesus **** christ, I'll stick to porn.

Where on earth do you meet these girls? A Nazi dating site?! 

How did you leave things with her?

My head is in a mess got married 10 months ago things where a bit ropey for a few months before but nothing too serious.

Then a month after the wedding job circumstances changed put a load of pressure on the relationship and it was a really hard time but we got through it just and managed to come out the other side with her being pregnant (doesn't sound the smartest thing but it wasn't exactly planned that way).

Now things are back on the worse side I just feel too much has been said and done to ever be able to feel the same way as before again. But we are 6 weeks away from baby being due.

While this has all been going on a couple who we know more her friends then mine have split up me and her have been chatting and get on stupidly well and has been giving out very strong hints that she wants a bit more then just a friendly chat
