Do you think men are basically tit because they have been heavily reliant on porn during lockdown and have forgotten what a real woman looks like? I'm not saying women in porn aren't real, but they have enviable figures, fake boobs and no pubes.

I'd say this is not even a lockdown only issue, just generally over the past few years. I've heard some horrific things, like young teenage girls being told their vagina is ugly by boys who have only ever known porn.

lol so when I was 16 my boyfriend - who I lost my virginity to - asked me to shave more, despite the fact I was well trimmed. I think he was expected smooth wax like on porn.

so, anyway, I dumped him

thank you cosmopolitan magazine for doing something right when I was growing up

Oh God, I know. A friend's daughter, aged 18, was told by her boyfriend she had a 'ham vagina' and needed surgery to tidy it up. He reckoned all other women have tucked in vaginas, no labia majora or minora on show at all. She was devastated and it took her mum, a nurse like me, ages to reassure her that her bits were perfectly normal and her boyfriend was the excess baggage that needed removing.

My school ex boyfriend who treated me like absolute crap keeps trying to message me on Facebook under various names, even though it's been 15 years. Has porn got boring? Eww leave me alone 😂

I read this anniversary article about Playboy magazine and they showed every centrefold from the beginning. It was crazy the change in women's bodies and what was obviously deemed as desirable from the 50's up to the 2000's.

It wasn't about size and shape as there were very curvy women with large breasts and very slim women with (god forbid) small breasts. But there was much more variety in body types (obviously still fitting a beauty convention of course). But when it creeped into the 2000's, they were all incredibly plastic and hairless and all looked exactly the same.

I’m seeing the same man from the last thread for our third date later today. It is the second this week though. 😅😅😅 I didn’t go on the other dates with the other men instead which I don’t know whether is a good thing or bad thing.

I’ll report back re the kissing / feels situation later 😁

ahhh our situations are quite similar - I'm excited to hear your report back!

my third date with the lad I'm texting is tomorrow, and I hope our kiss is a little more intense this time!

It's absolutely disgusting and I feel so worried for young(er) women these days. It's bad enough for me and I'm nearly 30.

Advice needed!! When I was single in 2018, I starting talking to someone via Instagram. I’m single again and we are talking...he’s invited me to his but he’s 1.5 hours away (only 49 miles but Devon lol). Do I go?! My bestie is definitely encouraging me as I had quite the traumatic break up a few months ago....

I'd say depends on what you want. If you want to have some post break up fun, go for it. However, if you want something more, I'd suggest meeting halfway and going for some food and drinks?

I was definitely thinking more fun than anything, plus company would be good! We’ve always been very flirty and hinted at things before (when I’ve been single). I just don’t want to look desperate by driving so far!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that! I was in a situation like yours, and I would drive an hour to see my “friend”. I think it’s better to drive further out to have fun with someone you really want to have fun with, rather than banging a conveniently located stranger and having painfully average sex at best 😂

Aw go on, do it. Better to regret doing something, than regret not doing something, as my granny always said.

Go for it, if it's really bad you won't have to see him again because he lives so far away 😂

I've been sticking to hinge and Bumble and couldn't quite face tinder yet. I've bitten the bullet and downloaded it. Also on the wine, so swiping could be interesting 🥴

I've had absolutely nothing worthwhile on Hinge...just seems so dead, or maybe it's me even though I'm in London! I've had some fun chats on Tinder even though it is obviously full of rubbish
