Yeah just picking them out that's the problem. I mean it's hard on the internet for really normal straight laced guys like me not to get lumped in by association with all the nut jobs and freaks on a forum like this, especially as I try really hard to make sure people know I'm not some kind of desperate sex pervert. I think I manage quite well but you never know?0 -

I'm seriously considering leaving the country to find one. A night out round here means men who are shorter than me and who dress like they want to be in JLS. What happened to the real men?Sarcasm: Because punching someone in the face is illegal.0

The New Forest isn't known for it's nightlife so I may have to resort to pinning a WANTED notice to my Camelbak
At least if they can read that I know they're fast enough to keep up with me! (unless i've come off and am lying in a ditch...)Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away....

Are you tall or live in a town of dwarves?0 -
Well I have just come back from Denmark - they all seem to like bikes out there, they are tall and know how to party all night so its an option at the moment...

Should be grateful, have you never had a bloke go up on you?0 -
Maybe we need a new forum dating section.0

I'm in Cardiff. I'm not particularly tall, but Welsh people tend to be shorter than average. Danes appear to be tall and have good taste in interiors. Sarcasm: Because punching someone in the face is illegal.0

I haven't joined in until now because I'm voluntarily single after having to break up with a really nice guy (who ticked all the boxes) that I just didn't have the proper feelings for...
Anywho, here's why girl mtbers can't find men while out biking:
A lot of male mtbers are already married/cohabiting/long term relationship types.
Generally I (and I don't know if this is true for Miss N or MissCMC) go mountain biking with men, because I only have 2 girl mates who are as awesome as me (what?! I am!). And usually I'm seen out and about with my mate Mr Smug Married. Generally the presumption is that I am the female part of that particular smug married equation.
Right now this isn't a problem. But in a couple of months when I actually want to find a guy... then it's back to the internet dating probably...0 -

Yep - this is indeed the problem :?
Similarly, i'm not ready to jump on the dating bandwagon just yet but am starting to think that it would be nice to meet someone in the future..... How to do that is the issue! I ride LOADS but can't really see normal-trail-type conversations (nice bike / your rear mech is broken / do you have a spare inner tube / watch out for that bloody great drop etc) developing beyond that....

You're overthinking things, and making assumptions.foxc_uk wrote:A lot of male mtbers are already married/cohabiting/long term relationship types.

About half of the lads I know and ride with on occasion are single. They're just not broadcasting a desperation siren because they're generally quite content.
You sound like a great catch, with the whole "I was in a relationship with a perfect guy, so I broke it off" thing. I got annoyed about this when talking to a female friend of mine recently, it seems quite common for women to have these strange fantasies/ideas about what aloving relationship is. I'm not sure where you get it from, if it's soppy films or books or whatever. Anwyay, when you find yourself in a great, pretty much perfect relationship, but it doesn't match these impossible expectations, you throw it away because surely it can't be "right".
There's another female friend of mine, who repeatedly throws away great relationships with genuinely fantastic people, almost as if she doesn't feel worthy of such positive affections. A number of her friends are now worried that she has serious self esteem issues.
Of course, this isn;t true for all women, but it does seem common that "you lot" expect the impossible, and throw a hissy fit when you find it doesn't exist.0 -
Sense from Yeehaa, who'da thunk it.

Oh I know I'm a heartless b1tch believe me. Heart made of stone.
I had my reasons for breaking up with him. I've put myself on the naughty step and I'm not allowed to go out and play until I've had a good think about what I've done.0 -

ooooh, you on the naughty step, i like the sound of that 0 -
I have to disagree with yehaa on this one (still luv ya though lol) but it takes a lot of guts to walk away from something that seems perfect on paper but doesn't feel right, there's no harm in being picky but ladies, remember not every bloke can be like me so allow then some slack. The way i look at it is the world is full of single people trying to be in a relationship and people in a relationship trying to be single so make the most of the things you enjoy that your current relationship status allows, both are good situations.
Key she's lying she's not on no naughty step, i can see from here, a naughty girl shouldn't be having a luxurious bath as punishment lol0
