You think it's the drink that makes us fools?

Hmmm.

You're in for a shock.

Try tesco?

No, I got one there once, turned out he was faulty and I tried to return him, but they refused, said I had to return to the manufacturer.
I was within my rights as due to the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 he was:

Not as described
Not of merchantible quality
Not fit for the purpose intended.

I sent him to his mum, but she said the warranty had expired.

All in all, a bad experience.

Should really move this to BGRH since they send their 'Where do I find da wimminz' threads over here, but since the poster asked where did we find ours, its a question for the ladies I suppose.

I'd say through extra curricular interests such as evening classes, sports clubs etc or through friends or at parties. In fact anywhere except bars and clubs as people tend to be too drunk so the first impression is bad.

Why are nerds out? and why can a nerd not be a man?

Intelligent,bright, sensitive men with lots of spendable income.

I can't think of a better catch. :cool:

I met my fantastic fella in a nite club (cue the shock from some people) and we're still together so I think people need to get over the 'can't meet somebody in a nite club/bar siutation' and start thinking about the kind of people they are attracting and who they are attracted too.

It's not that _can't_ of course you _can_ it's just not an ideal situation.

Two morons bladdering about nonsense drunk, it's never a great way to get the ball rolling.

Agree on the whole nightclub/bar thing. I met my ex through work. My first love, lasted just over a year. Friends first helps.

Were you not worried that he might be ugly when you first met?

Well if all the men you meet in pubs and nightclubs are drunk why not pull them earlier. The last time I was out this girl from denmark pulled my friend at 9pm and said lets go back to mine and make out. I never saw a man move as fast.

If you want a man you better go and get him. Do you think good men fall in your lap?

Well thats why I was wondering. Anyone could come across as funny, witty and charming on here (and they may well be) but thats no good if an ape or a moose turn up when you actually meet. There has to be some physical attraction. All that looks don't matter is tripe.

Ah no it worked out well for them.

They were both a bit on the moose side.

Princess la la why don't you just ask one of the posters here if they'd like to meet for a drink? Chances are they'll be reasonably sober. God knows what they'll look like but if they lie about there looks before you meet and they are a boot then you can just start a thread lambasting them. That'd be fun for all!

OP, are any of your friends taken or are you all single? I met my bf through friends and it seems to be quite common. IMO, clubs is not the best place to meet anyone except for a one night stand.

Check out this thread:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055207471&highlight=meet

This is where all the lay-dees met their other halves.

This is a warning.

Try online .. i know alot of people who have met their other halves online#, and if that doesnt work you will get lots of friends from it anyway, from different backgrounds, no harm in it and the whole stigma attached to internet dating is almost gone! Just a thought!
