Let's have an actual chat - no "would you date/*kitten*/marry/add the person below you" games

A lady in front of my bought 12 jars of instant coffee yesterday....12!!!! She was all excited because they were on sale. Ya they were on sale because that stuff is is icky. I'm no coffee snob but 12 jars?!?! That would last me until the end of my life

JeffreyMGiron

instant coffee...a disgrace to all coffee..lol and 12 is quite excessive...i might get some pastries while im at it, im pretty hungry

synchkat

mmm what kind of pastries? within a block of my house we have this lovely patisserie with yummy pastries and a 24 hr Montreal style bagel place that if you are lucky and time your visit right you will get bagels, straight out of the wood fired oven OMG

JeffreyMGiron

wow that sounds really good, I dont know yet i really dont make up my mind until i see them in my face, but i might just get a bunch for the rest of the week and enjoy

now i just want a bagel as well, thanks haha

I gave up on those sites. If you're older, the guys are all looking for attractive women 20+ years younger than them. As if.

Or the young guys are just looking to hook up with attractive older women like me

@47Jacqueline @tracyannk28

Fixed for both of you.

Face facts, nobody is going to troll or hope to just find a quick hookup with the ugly ducklings. I'm not saying it's the fault of either of you for being attractive ladies, but if any profile has a photo it leaves opportunity for the "creepy" guys to try. Maybe find a less flattering photo for your profiles, maybe one funny if sense of humor is important, one in professional clothing if that is important to you, etc. Or a very vague photo might attract less creepers and only people with real like interests or something.

And keep in mind that maybe the guy that sent the message you think was "creepy" is just socially awkward, and thought that being forward was the only way to provoke a possible response, especially if they were setting their sights high. I realize that this excludes any guy that calls you a crack ***** when he doesn't get his way, but really most people are somewhat deficient in some aspect. Some of them could be nice guys looking for a similar relationship but just be poor at communicating or understanding what you think is appropriate.

Because, once again facing facts... a lot of the "hook up" type sites and attitudes is because not all women are ladies either. If they were just sites where the guys fished and never got a bite, they probably wouldn't exist all that long.


And totally agree on the blocking likely due to his wife!

loved this response...I have been out of the dating pool for 20 years now but his perspective seems legit. Which doesn't solve the dilemma of where should people (men and women alike) go to find relationships instead of quick hookups.

As two people that have a combined time out of the dating pool of 50 years, I think me and you should become the new experts in finding people relationships here on MFP. Similar to the @AskTracyAnnK28 thread for MFP dating advice!

hahahahaha! I honestly don't think it's possible to find real relationships (other than friendships) here on MFP. Too many catfishes, married people and headless torso pics

@AskTracyAnnK28

Me and @_fitness4life_ are currently working on the complex algorithm that will match you with your true MFP soulmate. It may take some fine tuning, but at this point it comes down to when you might drink a lot and what guys you think are hot. From there we still have to figure out the little details... you know, jobs, kids, geography, etc. But there is hope!

Cool project indeed!!

I have a 24oz Bubba Thermos cup that keeps the coffee hot all morning. I work through that and go from there.

Yeah, not sure I could sit here for 8 hours without caffeine.

Since starting this healthier eating through food logging thing (i have never done it in my life and only started 1st Jan) I have gone right off coffee. So now I am tea all the way......although i guess it helps being English

I "lost" my driver's license when someone didn't give it back to me the other day... was really glad it wasn't truly lost!

What's something good that's happened to you lately?

CherylNTexas

The best thing that's happened to me lately is getting back on a healthy eating plan and MFP. There are a lot of things in my life that are changing, and this is one thing that I can control.
