What is it with women

I recently became single after 5 and a bit years and I have been on dating sites and all I can find is goldiggers and boring alcoholics. They normally have a profile of I like going out for a glass of wine and romantic meals. Is there no girls out there who enjoy some sporting activities and have an interest in something other than alcohol and food or is it just a case of I have been left with the scraps of society at the age of 29. Rant over.

    I've seen lots of ads for something called Fitness Singles. Might be worth a go.

    And fear not about being single at 29, I didn't meet my wife until I was 38 (and she was 26 which makes me a cradle snatcher).

    Yeah it was my first go at dating sites so I will try the fitness one next to see if there is any improvement. All I get at the moment is fat alcoholics or horsey girls who still live at home at the age of 32.

    Prolly got a leg over out of it, but had to put up with an appalling amount of pre-match talk before the main event. It happens.

  • Take a macrame/flower arranging/poetry/Johnny Depp class or something. I reckon most women hate doing anything like cycling, and would rather watch soaps on tv, eat, drink, and the ones that don't and have an interest in sports(not watching them like footie hags, but taking part in them) always have a boyfriend who's dead good at whatever the sport is, and then there's the ones who are so at the other extreme and are like men anyway(they're looking for a woman too sometimes!)
    I've had a relationship or two start positive, they say they love cycling etc, they buy a new bike to impress you of how serious they are.... and it never sees the light of day, they lack any self motivation to put in some miles on their days off when you aren't around- so it's worthless going out cycling together as they'll never even get a basic base level of fitness, then they blame you for not motivating them! Cycling/running/walking/kayaking seen it everywhere... :wink:

    Update your Love Seeker profile. Under Settings > User Preferences, uncheck the tickboxes labelled "GoldDigger" and "Alcoholic (Boring)".

    Two words of advice:

    Yoga Classes

    More than likely you will be the only man there. You have lycra, bending, and a typical female to male ratio of around 10 : 1.

    Just remember not to drool....

    There might also be a touch of flatulence in the room with all that stretching and bending...........apparently......not that it ever happend to me.....not ever.

  • Jason try a pilates class...and enquire around your town about social riding groups...more likely to meet a female cyclist there. In our Sunday morning ride there's usually 7 or 8 women and if we are lucky one or two males.Ask mates wives to keep a lookout for you.Better to be on your own for a few years to get life into a perspective. It will happen.

    Well I thought it read 'applauded'. A posher version of the 'clap'!
  • On the flipside, all men on dating websites either live with their mum, are looking for a mum substitute or like dressing up in their mums clothes. Apparently.
