Where do you live? Lapland?
Where do you live? Lapland?At the end of another thread and not much has changed has it? How bloody depressingI am still on Bumble but go a week or so without checking in. Refuse to pay so can’t see if anyone decent has liked me. Got a lot going on at home so not focusing on it right now, it’s really liberating!
From seeing what you lovely lot are going through it’s no big loss, same idiots seem to be out there. Thought I’d cheer you up with a couple of pics of what’s on offer in my town:
Haha I feel cheated. You said a couple of pictures. ,Where do you live? Lapland?

There was another one where a guy was with his mum & she looked like Camilla Parker Bowles@prinnygrace Yes that's tough. I guess it's just one of those wait & see but get on with your life in the meantime type things.Good luck with your move and new life though.

It's so weird. I saw one on POF who's profile picture was of a young girl with him (assuming it was his teenage daughter) arms around each other. I thought how weird! Or it was some girl at the pub. I always laugh at the ones with a crowd of women around them.There was another one where a guy was with his mum & she looked like Camilla Parker Bowles

Haaa! I mean who would have that as their pic?!Where do you live? Lapland?
life is too short for mediocre men. Thread title suggestioni read this late last night but am finally able to get my thoughts together to reply to you
i too am a thirty-something (a little older than you though!) who has never been in love and never had a “proper” relationship. this never really bothered me because i kinda understood why - i’m shy, like my own company, don’t make much of an effort to talk to men because a lot of them irritate me () but in some egotistical way i always thought “oh when i start really trying it’ll be fine” and have found that is absolutely not the case.
it’s really hard to deal with sometimes because, like you, most of my friends are in long-term relationships or easily and happily dating and getting loads of interest on apps and such, and it sometimes feels like i’m looking through a window into a room where everyone else is having a great time and in love and i’m outside under a raincloud or something.
on the flip side, i know that it’s a dangerous thing to start associating self-worth with romantic interest. it is also true, as @Sprottish says, that love can happen at any time, at any point in life. love can also come from anywhere, and i would rather be happy with my friends than unhappy in a relationship. self-love is the most important thing because your most important relationship is the one you will have with yourself.
however, i do also feel very bitter and why can’t that happen to me instead sometimes
i’m sorry that guy treated you like that but i am also proud (and you should be too!) of your reaction to it. you seem like an awesome person and it’s absolutely his loss. life is too short for mediocre men.
Yep, it’s a shit show! As well as the men who are not single, the inappropriate messages keep coming too. Someone distinctly average-looking messaged me not long ago and said “your* really pretty. Fancy hooking up sometime?” Seriously, that’s how you want to shoot your shot with me? Not even an offer of coffee first?!At a bbq yesterday some of my friends were having a swipe on Tinder for a laugh and I couldn’t believe how bad it’s got since I was last on there.
There was a handful of men with ‘I’m in a relationship but curious to see who else is out there’ bios. I have no faith left in men
They're so deluded aren't they Belle? It's laughable really.Yep, it’s a shit show! As well as the men who are not single, the inappropriate messages keep coming too.

*yes, he got it wrong. It’s you’re, you numpty!
Can we have that as a thread titleYep, it’s a shit show! As well as the men who are not single, the inappropriate messages keep coming too.

They sure are! I think some of them definitely work on law of averages. Send 50 of those messages out and it only takes one positive response for them to think it worksThey're so deluded aren't they Belle? It's laughable really.
A little bit of daydreaming shouldn't be a problem at all, as long as you're realistic and realize that it's nothing more than that. However, if you keep running into this person, keep chatting to them! Who knows where it could lead!Can I have a reality check please? Met a guy when walking my dog. I know neither his age nor if he's single. We had two nice chats, that's it. But my brain is doing that stupid thing where it's creating all kinds of scenarios where I see myself already on the way to the altar.
Doesn't help that I watched Heartstopper on Netflix yesterday which was super cute but made me long for this crazy feeling of being in love...
Teach her to have insanely high standards.It’s an actual cesspit. I swear I have PTSD from dating apps. Then you watch Love Island and see guys (little boys) getting rewarded for being absolute menaces (I know it’s only a heavily produced tv programme but it seeps into society/culture).
My daughter is only 4 but I do worry for what she’ll have to deal with it if and when she dates.
I WISH I had the audacity of my goddaughter. She recently broke up with a boy (both 14) because she said he had a funny smell. She literally said: "You smell like cheese. I do not want a boyfriend who smells like cheese. I want to break up, cheese boy."Teach her to have insanely high standards.
Mine is 13 this summer and I’m half impressed half horrified at how brutal she is when it comes to teenage boys
Seems to be either one of the two for me:At a bbq yesterday some of my friends were having a swipe on Tinder for a laugh and I couldn’t believe how bad it’s got since I was last on there.
