MTBers who don't actually go biking - rubbish men / dating!

MissCMC

I'm finding similar! Much more money to spend on me and my things now!

I'm outside the age range and don't have a nice bike

cicatriz

I'm in the age range but it depends upon what qualifies as a nice bike.

Thewaylander

it's amazing how freeing being single is to be honest, just be good to find a FB

Do you need to be with someone with the same interests as you? Mrs Bails isn't interested in cycling, other than bimbling round the park, but she knows that that's what makes me happy so is happy for me to do it.

You don't have to spend every second together like some loved up teenage couple, IMO. If you met a guy who was passionate about kite-surfing (or some other thing you've got no interest in) then he can do that while you're doing "your" thing. Then you both come home filthy and full of endorphins and all's good...

Dont lie, you have a degree in economics, Mrs B loves home economics, I don't know how many times I've explained thats why we hooked you pair up.

But seriously your other point is so valid, even to the point in my mind it can be the making of a great relationship. I am so glad that Mrs G isn't a biker other than a green route potterer as when I go off and bike it gives me the opportunity to go and have some lad time with my mates out of each others pocket. we have common interests but essentially just enjoy spending time together despite being very different, she likes drum and bass and radio 1, I like classical music, the Archers and radio 4 par example. I dont mean this in a very laddish way where I do what I want and she must accept it, quite the opposite (I'm petrified of her)

I think what is more important is the right attitude and the confidence in a relationship not to have to do everything together, that you have your seperate hobbies but then are able to have those other shared interests, or develop shared interests

LOL i'm not really that creepy... am I?

MissCMC

Yes... Gaz told me so.

Thewaylander

Well that explains a lot in life.

Gazlar

I am the authority on creepy, I grew up in a town of creepy people which means I can give a more than passable impression of being creepy, despite as I think Miss CMC put it, being less creepy than she imagined

In reality you actually aren't that creepy beeriiiy, more what I think the 90's colloqiualism would have been "gagging for it"

MissCMC

I don't think Gaz is helping your cause there...

Gazlar

I always wondered why they never renewed my contract as a match.com advisor

Thewaylander

As stated earlier i have no cause these days..

I just like a nice veiw when riding up my local trails if possible lol

See when you say it even that sounds like a euphemism for "ploughing"

MissCMC

If you like a nice view when riding then you do have a cause. And if you want a nice view take up something which isn't done by mainly men? Unless you like looking at that type of thing?

Thewaylander

Nah Mountain biking is the only answer, i can survive with out the ncie veiw... its just a pleasent extra.

MissCMC

Well there you go then all sorted. Why do you think girls take up mountain biking? Men who ride bikes tend to have nice legs. Ulterior motive in most things in life.
