As someone who considers himself still very much in the category of newbie here, I've recently had a penny-dropping moment.
Having made the first approach to numerous ladies on here, whether by a wink, or more usually a personalised message, I accept I'll not receive a reply from the majority, as I understand ladies have to deal with high volumes of messages anyway.
But a common phrase I've read on profiles is to the effect of "Single men. Don't bother. If I want one I'll find you."
I took this with a pinch of salt. If women get constantly bombarded anyway, when would they bother to look?
But having taken an active part on the fora, guess what? I'm receiving unsolicited direct contact from some lovely ladies!
I know I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but what a welcome and pleasant surprise!

"Always good when people twig on. Nice pics, even if I do think you resemble a prospective Conservative Party candidate on one of them 
Keep on having fun  "
You make a fair point! 
In my defence, that pic was taken at my niece's wedding. Her father (my brother) did a routine about the Blues Brothers in his speech, hence us wearing that particular attire.
I know I look like a right tit too, but it's the last half-decent pic I've had taken of me.  |

"Yup, the secret is to make friends and impress people in the forums and then things go far more smoothly on other parts of the site...  "
I mostly annoy and infuriate people on the fora. It's a wonder anyone messages me at all |

Your humanity becomes evident on here. Unless you're having a bad day and can't string a sentence together like me tonight, people get a bit of an idea as to the kind of person you are. You become a person not an avatar who wants sex |

"Thanks for the supportive words folks, they're all appreciated!
But have you considered that 'some' of these delectable, sophisticated, sensational ladies may have the quintessential meat & two veg?  "
Im not delectabe, sophisticated or sensational but I can assure you I do NOT have the quintessential meat and two veg. If the OP lived closer Id invite him to come and check for himself if he so wished! |

I'm appreciative of all of the lovely and supportive comments that have been posted on here, regardless of gender or what's growing in the vegetable patch. Where possible I've tried to PM each poster to thank them personally, male and female alike. Sadly I couldn't do so with everyone, due to some filters.
But, hey, isn't it nice to be nice?
And thank you for your comments too. "

Thank you again Legs! I had tried to PM you too, but your preferred age range has kept me outside collecting trolleys in the carpark instead. Feel free to PM me anytime. X |

"I'm only come here to be reminded daily why women never reply with a "no thank you". "
That's really sad to hear. I always try and reply to every message. The way I look at is, if someone has taken the time to write me a message, it's only polite to write a reply, even if it is with a no thank you. |

I never said you did My post wasn't a rant although you obviously though so. I was merely pointing out that I was not one of the 'some' ladies you mentioned. Or was I not allowed to do that? |
