Thus guy should have his own tv programme or write autobiography. The vacuum incident that I think XEla dug out the link for sticks in my head, and the recent choking of his chicken into his mates newspaper are definite inclusions. I'm sure there are hundreds more in these threads but keep up the good work Mr RV

Tip of the iceberg pal... or should I say the tip of a cucumber, with Ruge ;)

I also seem to recall a story of him tossing off over a fridge freezer. Can you confirm @Rugeley Villa

How have i matched with a girl that lives in Birmingham and i live in London? she hasnt been to London in years

You can set what distance you want to be matched with I think .  Probably need to narrow that down a bit .

Did I just read someone here signed up to eHarmony for 2 years!!!???

If you cant get laid in 2 months from a website then you need to be on that Ch4 program for oddballs. Tinder is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Well I didn't realise Birmingham was 10 miles away! :mrgreen: I didn't go further than that. 

I'll be down brum for the night for Cardiff game so hopefully goes well. I just matched with a girl in a camel (only pic)

"In" a camel, sexually? Or showing camel toe?

Urgh, bit of a caveman statement that, like someone else said, depends if your after a shag or a potential relationship.

Not everyone is just looking for a quick shag. 2 years does seem a little defeatist, though.

Well,  it's human mentality isn't it?  You see a special offer and you're more inclined to go for it?  

 

If it's one year for £40 or 2 years for £45 what would you choose ? 

 

(that's not a dig,  just an honest rhetorical question)

I was planning to do monthly pay as you go until you cancel, Netflix style. Just in case I think sack it, I'll try Match instead. I'm too tight to join two at once.

I did some googling yesterday about match v e-harmony. What people had said on here matches up with a a few pages on net. Only googled a couple of pages but does seem e harmony takes a longer while, but better overall. 

In viz terms, 'better gash'

And I'm branded a "caveman" :D

That wasn't aimed at you fella, at myself. But since we're on the caveman subject I won't lie, if I don't meet settling down material within three months then my profile will change to something more in the Neil Strauss direction. I like living in the back of beyond, but that comes at a social cost and since I'm moving from farmer land in place A to an even more remote one in place B, I'm looking forward to using this e harmony site, just to see! When work is done, given the work, I have to detach and destress, take a break from the populous. And in an entirely new place where I know no one, making friends with as many woman as possible is always a good social step up. Opens doors, and possibly, let's face it, opens legs too. 

which cyclically brings me to a potential benefit of these sites. Because, you might meet meet up with women, have a laugh, decide nah we're not getting involved that way .... But.... Keep in touch and have a laugh etc. Or maybe my perceptions will change to the negative very quickly on. 

Part of me also thinks, this place B I mention (very rural Herefordshire) we really are talking low number potential there. I'm waiting on some ---- bunch of solicitors to get their arses in gear to even give me a date to move and with seeing people's views that e harmony takes longer I might bring my eta forward. 

Is there a thread for buying mail order brides? :ph34r: Just in case

Thought I'd update for anyone who cares. Well, her not wanting kids hasn't changed, we are still living together but both just kind of in limbo and coasting without either of us just doing something about it.

The thing is is that it's amicable, we go out places, see family, do shopping together etc... but I'm just emotionally checked out, don't even wear my ring hardly anymore yet we share the same bed. 

Going through the motions I guess. Will probably stay like this until Jan/Feb when we get to the point or get the motivation/courage to sit down together and go through with it but at the moment with shifts, both being knackered from work and stuff it just kind of plods on, we both know we'd be better off apart but we aren't fighting, arguing or anything, it's just both of us hanging on.

Neither of us want to admit defeat I guess, more-so with it being only 14 months of marriage plus with the house, the cat and us being like amicable friends it's just kind of comfortable and has removed any urgency from the situation. Get Xmas/New Years out the way I suppose. 

Its **** dreary as all hell, no mans land/groundhog day. It's comfortably shite.

Sorry to hear that mate, sounds like a awful living environment. Have to tried to get affectionate at all with her? Maybe you just need to get that spark back. If you really think it's the end if the road then better call it quits as it's not healthy for either one if you.

Anyone here a member of 'Meetup'?

Sounds a good way of meeting like minded people in a more relaxed environment and to find people with common interests. I guess its not strictly dating but a good opportunity to meet new people if like me, your current friends are now baby bores! :)

Yes, on the whole it is a brilliant idea. Nothing any good in my area. I went to one, a meet of a local walking group for the county, about fifteen turned up, two of which were women. Both were cat ladies. I never went again. I wanted to turn round and go back to my car but stuck it out for the cause. Then went radio-silent. I still get the group messages and invited but I should close it down. Where I am moving to soon, there's even less than here. But for Birmingham / West mids there is plenty, all depends on where you are. Film nights, singles groups, travelling groups, outdoor activities etc. All good.

You can also start your own, but that costs a monthly subscription. But you're right though, it is a definite avenue. I drew the short straw, but the straws are long over your way

Missed this, very honest post there mate. Feel for you and genuinely hope the CPR that may be needed comes.

Ahh yes, in the rural areas I can imagine there would be a lack of choice. 

Like you said, for central Brum, the world is my lobster. Seems to be plenty of groups for singles and just for socialising. Maybe a Gemma Chan lookalike who has a penchant for men who resemble an ewok, may be hiding out in one of these gatherings.
