Sharkus is at it again

I think you should all relax all the advice given so far is correct - it'll happen when you least expect it! I think you should all go to more Scooby meets, that way you'll meet ladies with the same hobby, and it makes it a hell of alot easier when the questions comes "should we have a honeymoon or new brakes?" - new brakes are currently in the living room

Just shower regularly and don't be afriad to go up and talk to anyone...took my other half 6 pints of Caffreys to talk to me properly - and we were in the same group of friends!

Don't take just anyone - take your time and find the right person...

Learn how to shark, I can provide training

There are plenty of peeps who can vouch for my sharking technique THe only thing is, I don't tend to pull girls, so you may have to adapt to suit

If you've got $6,000 burning a hole in your pocket, maybe www.realdoll.com is the answer...

Spend a bit less time on Scoobynet and get on Love@lycos. Once you've worked your way past the goldiggers, bored wives and girls only wanting girls (I kid you not) you'll find there's quite a few presentable ladies. It does work, met my girlfriend online and still going strong 2 1/2 yrs later. There are loads of other sites too. You'd be amazed how just having a polite and honest approach can work online.

Make sure you set a distance limit and stick to it, nothing worse than having to fly to the outer hebrides for a quickie...

Outer Hebrides?! You jammy sh*t! West coast girls are just the best....

Finding a partner is like finding a good car........the more you look at,the better chance you have of finding one you like........and IMO the internet is not a good place to look.

Well personally I go out of my way to avoid relationships these days. Luke's comment in the Jade thread sums it up for me.

I'm fed up with the implication that if you're anything less than "physical perfection", (whatever that is), that neither you nor your feelings are worth bothering with.

single for 2 and a half years and damned well staying single

Claudius

There's another way, too

I will only mention it if prompted to do so though...

David_Wallis

go on then..

Tell us...

I rest my case. Most men are pigs and it's not worth the effort of looking for one who isn't.

paulr

Not funny.

Jen has got it spot on! Go to Scooby meets - after all that's where my boyfriend met me (and regrets ever turning up... )

A year down the line and guess where the money for doing our new house up went? Yep on mods for the scoob I wouldn't have had it any other way

Don't you think we've got more important things to do than trawl through your posts taking out the tags you've put in to bypass the swear filter? [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Sal

Claudius

Oh I do! LOL

Appearently YOU dont!

Neil Smalley

Claudius

The fact that you bypassed the swear filters means that you KNOW what the scoobynet policy is on swearing and offensive posts.

Next time the entire post will be removed, not just the offending words.

Scoobychick

Your posts were reported to the moderators by other users of Scoobynet who found them offensive due to the high content of the 'F' word. This is a public bulletin board accesssible by anyone of any age INCLUDING children. Think before you post [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

MarkO

If he's explicitly changing the posts to bypass the filter, don't mess about - just delete the whole post. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Claudius

ok, except for the "Moderators", one person seems to dislike the word starting with F and ending in UCK.

I didnt read the policies here. I thought the board software came with a filter as standard and that no one cares and everybody knows what star words actually mean. Thank you for pointing out that you have children reading this BBS, I should have known from reading some of the replies

I'm sorry, Terzo, if my advice caused problems, just trying to help. If you so wish, I can send you this information by email without stars (easier to read)

I was there in december, just make sure it is FEMALE!

You would have to feel it to find out, seriously you couldnt tell otherwise.

Good advice for us single chaps from Jen and Scoobychick. And I am trying to heed it

LMW - Oi you! you're not a shark, your a sharkette! get it right! I dunno, these girls!

SGD - That comment made by Luke is out of order, you know it, and I know it. Blokes saying stuff like that makes us all sound like complete tossers (no pun intended). Some of us are, some of us aint. I like to think I'm one of the "ain't" category! I can understand what you say, it's not right to judge people on their physical presence, but we all do it, and it IS wrong. I'm no oil painting (and the pics sure as hell prove it) so I can speak on this. It's what's inside that counts.
What's the point in going out with some "stunner" (not being sexist, just giving a typical bloke like example) if they ain't got one iota of intelligence, not exactly going to be a stimularing evening, ok, if you are after just one thing, but most of us are not. well I'm not. I'm not really into the "one night stand" thing, not my style.

Claudius - Give it up! your comments are not exactly humorous. If you're single, it's not suprsing! it's blokes like you posting crap like that, and possibly subscribing to it, that gives us genuine chaps a hard time convincing women that we are nice, not just out for sex, and we actually would like to converse and have a meaningful relationship with a member of the opposite sex.

This has to be the single saddest post I have ever read.

Get a life.

Markus

I don't see a problem with this thread? it's fairly informative. Personally this is the 21st century extension of having a chat down the pub with your mates (both male and female)

ScoobyGrannyDriver

rik1471 if you find it easy to meet like minded people and never feel lonely then good for you. However, I know of many people who don't find it easy to meet people these days, through pressures of work or whatever. I can't see anything sad about that. If you're happy then that's marvelous, just don't start having a go at somebody who isn't as happy as they could be and is looking for means to change their situation.

Personally I think it's sad to go on as if you're content with things when really you aren't happy, just because you're worried other people will think you don't have a life if you say you aren't happy.

Jen

Markus' post was spot on

Mice_Elf

Markus, from meeting you at the BBQ, I know that you can be a nice chap. In my personal opinion, though, sometimes you can be just a little (!) over the top which will put people off.

Not having a dig, just saying what I thought from the BBQ. That was one of the things Fruitbat and I said on the way home - that it seemed that you were insecure and felt the need to over-compensate.

Me, I go the other way and instead of over-compensating, I hide.

DRUNKNORGY

Wow some ppl on here are really sad (and I'm not talking about the ones trying to find a partner). I have been married for 15 years and I would be the first one to say its not easy to make it work. a Bit like a Ferarri, works great when you first get it, but if you want it to stay that way, you have to give it attention to keep it that way.
Claudius, If thats your idea of how women should be treated, then use a brothel, at least you both know what you want from each other. If I was single I would use one if I didn't want to get involved in another relationship (much cheaper than a relationship) and saves all that larking around.
I think what I am trying to say is, If you want a decent partner, then you have to give some respect. Other people mirror your actions and will only show as much respect as your prepared to give.

Markus

Mice,
wow! you a shrink? cos that's just about right! I do *sometimes* over compensate (bbq deffo biggest case!), usually though does not invlove removal of clothes, honest Was a bit lairy that night, mainly as it's the first time in a very very long time that I'd got totally and utterly smashed, with like minded people, and just had a fecking good laff. Think it was a "getting it out of my system" type thing.

Regardless of me saying I'll do worse next time, I won't, unless asked then it's different Even still, think it's out of my system. Plus I can be zany in other ways, and not too mad!

Can understand it putting people off, hell, if I'd been on the other side, I'd be totally freaked out by it.

Thanks for saying this, I don't see it as a dig, just someone telling it how it is/was in their eyes. and as I said, it's pretty damn accurate! no, bollocks, it's spot on.

Mice_Elf

Phew, glad you didn't take offence as it certainly wasn't meant that way.

One of the perks of being shy, I guess - there's a tendency to sit back and observe rather than participating.

Matt get yourself to Sandy Beaches or Winstons and get it out of your system!!
Then find a nice young lady in Jimmys on a Wednesday!!
If that doesn't work just tell everybody about your lottery win and the Ferrari in the garage!
