Honourable mention must go out to the suggestion made by @xcyber who drew inspiration from @Universal's "It's not you... it's Darren"

A recap of some of the most-liked/reacted-to posts of the last thread:
1. @Londoncailín who shared this absolute gem that truly reminds us that the world is full of pr**ks and not the good kind:

2. @Lalla who shared this lovely advice: "Honestly as one of the older (oldest possibly!) posters on this thread, if I could give one piece of advice to any woman, it is never to make yourself smaller. I've done it since I was in my early 20s, and all it ever got me was men who ended up resenting me, feeling intimidated by me - even when I was doing my level best to play down everything I was proud of."
3. @Rayne who shared a man's dating profile that stated: "I'm like a big cup of hot chocolate because I'm warm and sweet and great with squirt cream
Swipe right to wrap yourself around me
" I mean...
4. @BettyBeau and @mozzarellagirl who suggested A. Sending a glitter bomb or B. Filling in multiple call back forms for hair transplant surgeries when you are looking for some revenge.
5. I'm going to share my own advice here after @Sprottish shared a very upsetting discovery with us all. If anyone reading this thread is every in the situation where they discover or are confronted with threatening behaviour by someone (such as sharing nudes of women, blackmail because of illicit photographs etcetera), please file a police report. Here are some tips that might be of help:
A. Gather evidence of his behaviour. Screenshots, conversations, statements of his behaviour (his sorry is a confirmation of his behaviour!). This will all be important when you file a police report or complaint.
B. Tell the people around you what is going on, and to keep an eye out for you. You need your closest circle to help you feel safe and they may also offer a sense of protection which will help with any anxiety you might be feeling over this.
C. Block him EVERYWHERE after you have collected all information.
D. Lock down your own accounts: make sure your moves and whereabouts cannot be traced online. If you are very visible on profiles of family members or friends, ask them to do the same or to remove traces of you if they do not want to shut down their profiles entirely.
E. If you are up for it (and only if you can handle it), you could let his other victims (the women he has explicit content of) know that you are filing a report and that they have the option to do the same. If you actually file a report you could alert the authorities that there are other serious victims, and the authorities will most likely be very interested in speaking with them, and possibly helping them.
6. @harveydean who shared her Hot Girl Summer plans with us all: "Is anyone else planning their hot girl summer? Even though I’m dating casually (only people I know as I’m off the apps, and it’s very casual as it suits me) I’ve been thinking about all the amazing things I’m going to do for ME.
~ take piano lessons
~ take up tennis
~ re-start French lessons
~ continue going to the gym/yoga 3-5 x pw
~ holiday with my daughter
~ go on a hot girl walk daily (started and love it!)
~ hiking weekend with friends
~ weekend festival booked with friends
~ finish my garden so it’s a lovely place to relax in
~ local festivals booked with friends
~ join a local paddle boarding group
~ go bouldering (always wanted to try!)
~ fortnightly manicures
Men need to fit around this. I’m not making room for them as my life is frigging FABULOUS!"
7. @Clickbait who gave the following advice in regards to a man that wasn't willing to buy the cow, but kept drinking the milk for free: "Honestly, and I say this from bitter experience, walk away from this man. He’s made it clear it’s not going to happen (anything other than a yes is a no*) and he’s now proceeding in the vein of ‘I’ll take whatever she’s offering without giving anything (she really wants) back because she knows the score’.
There are very few men who will make the hard break on your behalf if they know they can never give you what you want/need. Many won’t even be honest that they’ll never see you as a GF or wife so he’s one of the better ones. You have to save yourself in these situations."
8. @SpindleWhorl who shared the key to a man's heart with us: View attachment 2173437
9. @Clementine who shared the sage advice to never let a man called Darren to affect the way you see yourself.
10. @LaBlonde who explained what she does when men bring on the sexual chat really early in the conversation: "aw mate, depends fully on the mood i’m in at the time
if i can’t be bothered, i’ll unmatch. if i’m bored, i’ll get into a full “does this usually work for you?” conversation. if i’m feeling particularly bored, i’ll say how interesting it is that they’re into choking but only when they’re the ones doing the choking (weird how men like that but not the suggestion of the other way around, urgh). sometimes i’ll correct their spelling. sometimes i’ll play completely dumb to a “come over” text and keep saying “why, what will happen?” until it becomes too awkward and shaming for everyone.
wow. why am i single, one of life’s mysteries."
Ladies and Gentlemen, HappyHunger Dating Games! May the odds be ever in your favour.
