I've never tried one of these sites - before I give it a go, is there anyone out there who looks a bit like Vinnie Jones, is worth a million or so, and is desperately seeking a slightly over-weight aged 50 or thereabouts lady?

No?

I thought not.

I'll not bother, then!

Right, another fat chick ...

Is this Vinnie Jones short, fat and bald? Or any two of the above?

You might have a chance, if so.

You can ask to skip guided communication but that only works if the other side agrees.

As for the multiple choice questions, there is a 5th option where you can put your own answer in.

*Takes note of OkCupid*

As a fat chick I won't need to be uploading any photos ;-)

The whole thing just strikes me as weirdo. ;)

And the commercials where that guy just can't wait to get communicatin' -- ewwwww.

Go look at OKCupid. Sign up for free, do what you want. It will give you matches rated according to the answers you give to a gazillion questions. Answer the ones you want, ignore the rest (and there are a lot you will want to ignore; the fetish community writes large at these places). And play quizzies!

Maybe there's a quizzie about this Vinnie Jones person ...

I actually sent somebody a message at OKCupid last week. He just reminded me so much of No.2, siiiigh. And his username was a thing from my all-time favourite movie. My Man Godfrey. The original, of course, Powell and Lombard, not that appalling Niven and Allyson do-over. I'll bet that not two other people had ever "got" his username.

So we sent a couple of messages (didn't talk about anything but stuff, not dating stuff), but hey, he's not into monogamy (I got to see all his answers to all the gazillion questions), and I am (yes, well, not into "polyamory" anyhow), and there's that pesky No.1 filling the space at the moment ....... sigh ......

suzian, you have not been following.

I have it on good authority (a real man on the eharmony discussion board) that 5-10 pounds "overweight" is tolerable. Beyond that,










you're a fat chick!

Stop pretending not to be, you'll be dashing the hopes and dreams of every man whose path you cross .....

Oh, and I did send a message to somebody on OKC once some time ago because I was convinced he was Errol the Sheep.

Just so you know -- the basic quizzies are staff-written (and they are apparently statisticians, and quite entertaining). There are four main ones: what kind of "girl"/guy you are, what your politics are, what age you will die at, and something else.

I, of course, am The Peach. Beat that. (I will not say "eat your heart out" for fear of further vulgarity from you know who.)

Oh forget all these men on dating sites... take a look at the lovely man on the telly... the 'bionic' vet...using his skills to help injured animals to walk again... now that is the kind of kind man I like , with a sense of 'where there's life there's hope' but also that streak of realism that knows when to say, we've done all we can...now let go... sensitivy, compassion and he's Irish...lol

Somebody tell me what a stone is. And then remind me hourly for a couple of days so I might remember this time.

12 pounds?

Yeah, Daff, they're all the gods' gift, you know ...

Rose, what in the name of ... is a bionic vet??

When we had one of the FIV-y cats euthanized, the first one to go, Carl I guess, a few years ago, the vet started in with what sounded like the beginning of some kind of funeral sermon. I cut him right off. The cat's dead. Not going to cat heaven, nope. Not that No.1 and I weren't blubbing. Of course we were.

That actually seems to be No.1's biggest reason for not getting more cats (there is a fine crop of ferals around this summer, beautiful long-haired orange ones and black ones). Apart from the odeur. That he can't go through having another one die on us.

I think he qualifies for that sensitivity thingy maybe.

1 stone = 14 pounds.

As for the men who want slim girls (lets face it in their dreams they want some nubile 21yr old) being gods gift. Only in their own view and that's cos they haven't looked in a mirror in years/own a guide dog/white stick.

I shall have a look, Rose.

..... Okay, I did. Really, that's all just weird. We had a 3-legged St Bernard once. Cancer, lost a front leg. She got around okay. Then more cancer, though.

No pic of the good doc there though. Had to try google images, and even there found only one to speak of. He seems to be no Gul Dukat ...

Really though, all that for pets? Think of the people, seriously.


Irene, your husband is no fun. You're needing a cedar 2x4, I think.

I lost Foggy somewhere back there, missed something he said. Anybody else not satisfied with their advice here,









Get over yourself!
