I'd be the same about the holster but I have to confess with the size of phones now I think they're practical for men, I mean where the **** do they put their phones?

In our slippers.

Culottes. A lady who wears culottes ain't getting into my pants.

Didn't they stop wearing those around 1987?

I had to google that. I'm not sure it that's a dealbreaker for me, surely there could be some sort of comedy value taken from them.

A fanny on her no better than a torn slipper.

Definite deal breaker.

Kegels ladies, kegels.

Because he looks rather similar to your husband?

This is me...I have no interest at all in NAMA, general elections, anything to do with the government.

I know it's all going on as obviously I hear it being mentioned on the news but I just zone out or turn over.
If I wanted to know about it I'd pay attention and have no issue absorbing it all but I just don't want to.
I could easily come across as a bit thick though to somebody that doesn't know me, if they attempted to talk politics quite early on.

You are a citizen of a Democratic Republic and you don't give a damn who runs it or how it's run?

Guys who interrupt you at every opportunity cause they are only interested in hearing their own voice....actually make that anyone....I do a mental strikethrough when I encounter someone like that.

And anyone who is heavily involved in the GAA...Just hearing a guy talk about trainin turns me off immediately. Conversely that's my friends main requirement in a man.

I was chatting to a lady through an online dating site in the last few weeks.

She used exclamation marks in place of full stops. In situations where the context warranted an exclamation mark, she put two. When we moved to communicating by text, this continued.

It annoyed me in an irrational manner. She was well educated and I couldn't figure out what the story was. I wanted to send a message saying "What's the deal with the exclamation marks"? I didn't though. Communication fizzled out, not sure she was ever that in to me.

Maybe she was put off by my use of full-stops.

A teacher whom I hated in secondary school back in the 80's (the feeling was mutual I believe) wore these and I always equate them since with bitter spinsters.

Are you sure it's not some kind of software glitchy thing? A friend of mine who texts me about car pooling for matches used to keep sending me exclamation marks in inappropriate parts of sentences, but apparently it was due to some incompatibility in our phones (or at least that's what he's told me!)

A person who calls single women spinsters would be a deal breaker for me.

Damn, there goes my big romantic proposal. Better ring and cancel the hot air balloon.

Don't worry, you'll meet the right guy eventually.

He's lying to you. He's an idiot.

Pretty sure it wasn't such a glitch as it was across two communication types (text and email). They were always at the end of the sentence where you would expect to find them. Just wouldn't expect them at the end of every sentence.

Possibly I was a bigger idiot for believing him. Across two different platforms is probably even more unlikely alright.

Fake tan, highlights, fake nails, heaps of make up, doesn't read, believes in angels/astrology/homeopathy/aromatherapy, diamante, wears a lot of pink, drives but can't change a tyre, wears heels at all times, listens to music a 12 year old should be embarrassed by.

Happily, not a lot of lesbians fall into any of this.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. An interest in politics isn't a signifier of intelligence to me. A lot of us, me included, have low interest in the goings-on of smarmy careerists and the tedium of partisan politics.

While Id agree that it isn't necessarily a sign of intelligence id say the average smart person knows more about politics than the average stupid person. Its quite ignorant to know nothing about how the society you live in is run or governed

An Irish girl, who had been living in London, I was seeing her for a while until she once replied to a text with the four letters: 'init'.
Game over.

I think being informed vs being enthralled by every machination of the party political machine are quite different. I'm a news junkie, but I can get quite bored by a lot of political discussion.

I like informed people, opinionated people who are aware of the goings-on in the wider world as well as their own world.

Another one, when you text a girl for the first time and you get back a green message rather than a blue one, not bothered

:D

pauliebdub · 16-05-2017 09:13PM

A date having what I would consider too many friends and all the drama that that entails. Ive dumped partners because I wasn't taken with one or two of their mates.

I would have to go back in a time machine 25 years to do so, since that is when we met and soon married.

You, on the other hand would have to time machine back at least 100 years to meet someone who uses the same vernacular.:D
