I’m late 30s and get a version of this a lot! Maybe the male biological clock is more of a thing than we give them credit for.
Oh me too. Do you want kid? No = delete. What I meant was advertising on Tinder for basically a rent a womb? Can you imagine if a woman wrote that! 🤣

I did have one guy in his late-40s try to woo me with the fact he had had a vasectomy so there would be, and I quote, ‘no extra mouths to feed’ 😂 Guys my own age seem to be chasing younger women so I should adjust my expectations I think 😂

I had one guy who said he really wanted a kid, but had a low sperm count so would I be willing to undergo IVF. Say what! Then it was what about adoption. I bet he’d make me lie on my back with my legs in the air every time we were intimate too!

It’s a tough one because I would have loved kids (and part of me still does!) but I’m getting older and have gynae issues so it’s looking less and less likely. But I won’t want to say a flat ‘no kids aren’t for me’ either because best believe id be doing handstands after sex if I met the right guy 😉

I get it, it’s just the way they go about it that I find ridiculous. I have only ever wanted kids with one guy in my entire life, in fact I would have given him both my kidneys as well! So that’s it for me. That door is closed.

Me again. So this 46 year old who was turning 47 on Sunday (cancelled, sick mum whatever) turns out he’s 48?? Like he posted on Monday “48 yesterday” so I then said so when was our age gap 20 years. His response? “covid messed my brain up” . Like what?! Old enough to be my dad honestly he is. what is the deal with men lying about their age? Has anyone else had this issue? This isn’t the first time I’ve met a man who’s lied about his age but I don’t get it?

Anyway I’m off the apps seeing as Boris said I can go clubbing from the 19th. I’m busy huns 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 anyone in London/Essex come join me 😂

Erm so 20 years is so much worse than 18/19 in the ‘he’s old enough to be my father’ stakes? And also, why are you still talking to that loser anyway! 🤣

He possibly lies about a lot of stuff so what's an extra year between friends right? Men telling lies about their age and height on dating apps is the real pandemic folks 😆

In the nicest possible way... I feel like you can’t keep away from these bad situations 😅 STOP MESSAGING THESE IDIOTS.

Well I kept him on ig only to see if he posted or did anything I just needed to know. I don’t know how anyone actually “forgets” their age? But as Mumma real housewives said. “Block his a” and that what I did after. 🤦🏾‍♀️

haha @professorfarnsworth no but 18 years sounds better than 20 years 😂😂😂 20 is almost predatory. Either way tho the gap is enough he could be my Dad!

@LaurieLaurie and all of my tattle sisters. Hot girl summer is back 😂😂😂 whats a man? I no longer know!

Also i’m probably just a bit too desperate to find someone. 🤢 (very embarrassing but it is what it is)

I went on a date with someone on Saturday night and we got along really well but he cannot hold a normal conversation without resorting to “you’re so sexy/come and kiss me/can’t wait to see you again” please I just want to talk about work, organise a second date and maybe then you can kiss me again 😒

Just had a 'conversation' with a new Tinder match. His opening message was decent and I replied with a jokey response.

His reply: Hahaha, yeah.

Hm, OK. No real follow up from him, but I still made an effort with another response, relating to something in his profile.

His reply: Hahaha.

Hm, OK. I didn't say anything massively hilarious, but let's have one more shot. Replied with something jokey again.

His reply: Hahaha lol.

Jesus! Seriously? Unmatch! 🤦‍♀️
