Tinder for Boreds

Harry Palmr

With social distancing now the norm is it time for boards to help single people connect with a dating forum? Obviously it'll be very chast but could lead to something horizontal or at least emotional eventually, when the vaccine arrives. I have no idea how it would be structured or moderated what with all the catfishing these days. Or is this just a terrible idea bought on by my own isolation?

Chaste long enough. Time to be chased!!!

Throw up a photo of yourself there and we'll kick off the auction.

Finally, a decent thread.

A nice idea. On paper :pac:
Remember a good few years ago there used to be threads where people would post pictures of themselves? ...

Not in after hours. But other forums. Any woman who posted one of herself would get about 50 thanks. If a guy did the same what, 5 thanks? :pac:

So yeah. If boards had a dating forum it would be no different than dating websites or even tinder. A good 50 to 1 men to women ratio haha.

But you could call the forum sausage fest as it would be an apt name. Lol.

Kill off more like.

I'm pretty sure there is some kinda dating forum but you need an invite or something.

Also Harry would be a good catch for when the food chain breaks down and the shops are empty. He knows how to grow food n stuff!

Speak for yourself. I don't intend to be mature till 65. Until then I will be as I always was.

There was a "know your nerds" thing, is that what posters are remembering? That was clearly nothing but a thanks whore charter!

There's a forum for discussing online dating and experiences therein. It's not a hookup forum though, if that's what you are expecting.

Ah I see. Someone just mentioned it to me recently. I'd have no interest anyway!

I think I got about 20 thanks once when I posted a pic of myself playing chess underwater, and I was chuffed, and then some fecker just after me posted a pic of himself carrying his newborn baby and got about 80 :mad:

Do ye want the "here's what I look like going to a wedding with my makeup and hair done and a lovely dress taken in just the right lighting" photo, or the "here's what I look like right now in a hoodie and no makeup and hair that hasn't been brushed never mind washed today" photo?

The former would probably get more thanks, but the latter is closer to my daily reality.

The most thanks I've ever gotten on boards was for a picture of my dog. I won't take offence, she is cuter than I am.

I'm not at the stage of isolation where i'm willing to post fanny pics, but come back to me if the lockdown gets extended again.

Barry's I'm afraid. Does that mean the deal's off?

As an aside, post Covid-19, I'd love if there was a dating app that worked like this:

You put in the night you want to go out on a date first. Then you put in your preferences re:age and location. But the emphasis is on the fact that this app is for people who actually want to meet and not swipe/ chat endlessly.

I could forward you a picture of my brother’s flaccid knob if I didn’t block and delete the convo already

Could be still in my photos but afraid to look. He is 6ft something of random bastard who is evidently hung, sounds like tinder credentials to me any takers.

I've had so many good ideas for apps I'd be a bajillionaire if I was a developer.

And they say romance is dead. Like a chapter out of Anna Karenina or Pride & Prejudice.

That is very true, yet women will argue till they're blue in the face that a women has it as hard when it comes to dating.

It really, really is - I swear.

The difference is that it's super easy to find a guy that's willing to have sex with you. It's insanely difficult to find a guy who's willing to get to know you and date you.

Scratch that: It's insanely difficult to find a guy even willing/ able to have a decent conversation.

But we do have it easier when it comes to getting the ride, that's for sure.

So many generalisations, I don't know which one to discredit first.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

They're all just observations based on my own experience of dating.

Granted, they're not universally true - but they're pretty accurate in my own, subjective experience.

Hey I am single for last 17 months ok I am oldish....late 50's. For me yeah it's hard. No man my age wants to be with a woman my age. He doesn't even want to be with a woman 5 years younger than my age.

Not the most empathic response, Betty. All that sun in St Tropez has addled your mind.
