*SIGH*

I know I am going to regret asking this in here....

Where are all the normal blokes hiding on-line these days then? Not ready to leap back into the dating game just yet, but had a little look at some dating sites and they all look like bloody weirdos. And all the ones that say that they are into mountain biking have photos of rubbish bikes being pootled along canal paths :(

Basically, I want to know where all the single, normal, devilishly handsome blokes who are fabulous mountain bikers with interesting bikes who can fix and maintain my bikes are hiding? I do not want websites full of blokes who email you 'special photos' (ahh yes, I have been here before :? )......

What do you reckon then?

  • You must be off your rocker posting a thread in the crudcatcher asking for dating advice.

    [serious answer]If you're looking for a partner who is into MTB, try joining some local group rides and stuff like that[/serious]

    Just rock up at a trail centre and ride round with your baps out, you'll soon find someone. Go on a cold day for added effect.

    Failing that, just set some traps in your back garden and you'll eventually catch yourself a Gazlar (wether or not you'd want to keep him is another story entirely).

    You can't afford me.


    But I suggest just riding and sooner or later you'll meet someone who isn't a total mong.

    I've seen your pic and I would. I'm sure there's someone equally desperate out there.

    Oh dear, maybe i'll have to start being nicer to people at trail centres then as opposed to trying to overtake them cackling wildly like a crazy lady.... Not going to get anywhere like that am I?! :wink:

    Men are simple creatures, just remember the three B's. Beer, boobs and bacon.

    Yep.

    I met you at Cwmcarn back in June and I reckon all you need to do is get over there again wearing slightly tighter fitting gear and you'll be fine. And you get at least 8 bus rides up the hill with a captive audience of blokes so you can chat them up. Or drop in on the next 'Crudfest', that'd be like shooting fish in a barrel :)

    I'd like to know where the normal ladies are hiding! All the ones I've spoken to seem to prepare marriage the second you feign an interest.

    Where in the world are you based? Maybe we know someone that's within stalking distance?

    Would you actually want to date a Crudder? I mean come on, we're not the most polished of specimens.

    but all you do is polish your specimen :wink:

    and your asking here for advice, you must be desperate :lol:

    oh and i have no idea what you look like, you must post a pic here, just for research purposes obviously

    well, I'm right here. Unfortunately (for you), I'm not really looking for a needy whine-o-saur at the moment.

    There's a serious error in your methodology.
    If she steps away from the keyboard, then you're separating the people who use internet dating, from the other people who do internet dating.
    And we don't want that sort loose in society. Lump 'em together, I say.


    On another note, I see no real issue with it, it's just another place to meet people, isn't it?

    True but some people seem really disappointed when they find out I'm not really a 16 yr old nympho with big boobs.
    Go figure.

    You're a nympho, with big boobs, that's close enough for me.

    I once chatted up a girl on the internet, she was funny, flirty suggestive and 14, then she told me she was an undercover cop......... I mean how cool is that for her age ;)

    What you need to remember is that the internet is a hive of desperate perverts and very few diamond in the rough. I don't profess to being a diamond but many people on here will tell you that I am a reputable and much trusted crudder who is in no way a sex pest or weirdo. Not that I'm coming on to you at all but just remember you are a prime catch and you deserve to be treated as such, men should flock to you not you after them. So take your time and pick the right one.

    Also look out for internet weirdos that try to appear normal and butter you up but really are the worst kind of pervs
    Mountain biking is like sex.......more fun when someone else is getting hurt
