So men think that a photograph holding fish they’ve caught is attractive. Uh huh.

I downloaded Tinder again the other day, talking to a guy who says he’s looking for the one. Proceeded (uninvited) within a few messages to tell me about his balls being full of cum When I wasn’t receptive to this turn of conversation, pointing out that he won’t find the one talking like that, he said I was too controversial and arsey for him

If you’re uppity @shadowcat5, so am I

Does anyone else get really creeped out when guys mention cuddling like a few messages in? Am I weird?

men saying the word “cuddling” creeps me out in general tbh

I left my husband of 14 years just over two years ago. I was completely bored and unhappy and wanted more out of life. Our sex life was non existent. I lost all attraction for him, didn’t even like him towards the end, and could not think of anything worse than having sex with him. When we did it was only because of “wifely duty” and it was dire. I really didn’t enjoy it and went off sex completely. Since being single and having been with two men I now thoroughly enjoy sex and know exactly what I was missing during my marriage. I would absolutely advise someone to ensure that their sex lives are an important part of marriage.

What’s the bet that this guy has the personality of a soggy paper towel?

Oh @IGiveUp22 what a prick! Hope you are not too upset and your mum is okay. Much love to you both

Been chatting to a bloke for the last couple of days and he wants to meet next week. Is it too late for me to Jack in my job and move abroad. I am officially SHITTING myself. It’s 27 years since I’ve been on a date, I’m 8000 stone overweight, I haven’t had sex in about 6 years. Waaah

I’m sure you are hot as hell, don’t think too much about it and just go and have fun! You have to start somewhere!

To everyone who posted terrible openers, I raise you:

Can @MsCurly do one of her fabulous recaps please?

My date last night went well - we got on and I felt comfortable in his company. Only lasted 4 hours though because getting home is a bloody nightmare where I live after a certain time. He’s hotter than I originally thought, isn’t a fan of Andrew Tate and asked to kiss me. Am so old and deaf though so our second date will have to be somewhere quieter 🧏‍ and not in an Irish pub with live music

maybe I’m sensitive and uppity but I really hate when men in the first few messages just literally ask for sex. I had a guy that I matched with last weekend. We’ve had literally 4 messages so tbh I forgot all about him. He messaged today saying “don’t see the point of the small talk. Just going to throw out the booty call”

First of all, what small talk?!
Second of all, you absolutely do not get treat me like that.

like I said, maybe I’m too uppity but it’s just so disrespectful imo

 

[Jojoo]

maybe you’re not ready to get out there again yet?

I’m not, I know this but I also want someone to have fun with. I’m a big mess. My ex still lives with us until the divorce will go through, I have to watch him go on countless dates and holidays with the woman he had an affair with so I feel like I need someone to spend time with. I just want sex tbh.
I want to have a fun summer with no commitments just dates and sex with someone, not lots of people just one haha

i can’t move on while he’s here crying and telling me he’s not happy yet off on his 12th holiday in less than a year with the woman. Yet I can’t have no one because I don’t know. Sorry waffle brain today god it’s tough.

Am I the only one that gets a one sentance reply. Which I can't really response to. Decided today that I'm not wasting my energy in replying back to this men.

 

[Carefree]

I downloaded Tinder whilst in Ireland last weekend. Found no one interesting, fell asleep half-cut and woke to find they had banned me (!)

Feels like God may be trying to tell me something

 

[Joanie]

My second date in Thursday he done an impression of me, mocking me and sexist. I was really shocked as I was expecting more form him. I have thought back on the conversation often. I do not feel I'm being overly sensitive. He smokes indoors and I said if I come round could he not smoke in same room as me. I don't think this went down well.
Anyways ,first date soon so let's see how this go.
So glad I'm much wiser now and don't need to put up with shite from.men. Which I would accepted in the past.

 

[shadowcat5]

Not sure these 2 are going to get very far

 

[Usagisakura90]

Smoking is a deal breaker for me

Yeh me too, it wasn't on his profile either.

Date is over though and going home now. He's not a very good kisser, no passion behind it. Also smelled of sweat too.

 

[Kimmylookatme]

Urghhh. I genuinely didn’t think this would happen. Ex got back in touch saying he’d had a breakdown and wasn’t ‘lucid’ when we broke up and he knows it’s probably too late but he still loves me and is willing to work on everything and his emotional growth as hard as it takes to be a better person etc etc etc. also sent me videos of an open mic night he did where he sang a song about me and one about my children. WHY do they do this when you’ve just started to move on i told him that I would reply today but I did say that I’d realised he was right and done the work to accept we aren’t compatible and he was like ‘wow that hurts’ - they were your own words pal! ‘Yes but I didn’t know what I was saying.’
Now I just feel like a horrible person because I need to say, you had your chance, you let me wallow and sink to the bottom and I’ve just started clawing my way out of it and I cannot make the space for this negativity/let myself be drained again. But it makes me feel like a dick because he keeps going on about his mental health. Bleugh

You never know where a KIK conversation will lead!

 

[Universal]

Why the fuck do we even bother?

 

[shadowcat5]

The worst is when they ask you to meet and you have to calculate or rearrange you hair wash days
