Though it sounds somewhat narcissistic, if we go out I'm doing urban climbing. Please bring a camera and an appetite.


Why would it sound narcissistic? If you are one of the urban climbers and have camera, why don't you start a topic with video links?



I hope to do this someday. Camera is not a problem. Audio recording can be turned off. LOL

When you say "friendship" or "good time together" or "fun" what do you mean? Do you expect to get laid on a first, maybe second or third date? If that is a case, why not just you say it and call it "friendship with benefits" to avoid wrong expectations due to not calling things the right name?


Firstly, I'm not just looking for sex. Secondly, I don't tell them that I'm just looking for friendship. Truth be told, it's the women that say those things to me and they tend to just assume because I'm a man, as you apparently do.

Well, they reply to me mate. It's not getting them to reply that's the problem with them. It's getting them to make a date.

Last time I bothered to talk to a woman on here I got the usual jazz about how all the men on here just want sex and she just wanted a proper date with a nice guy. So anyway, as she was practically begging me to ask her out I said that I would be prepared to meet her but not to waste time exchanging endless aimless emails. I told her to just let me know when she would be free and she said that she would. Well, fine but I'm not replying to that and frankly the last thing that I'm looking for just now is some middle aged whiner that goes on about men just wanting sex.



Talking about assumptions, I have read what you wrote 14 minutes after replying to me. It seems that I am not the only one not willing to meet a man with such an attitude. LOL

Well, not that it's any of your business really, the reason that I wasn't bothered about meeting that woman was that I've been getting friendly with someone else for some months now and I don't want the extra complications or a middle aged woman either, like I said.

I don't have the attitude problem here lady. I was polite to that middle aged woman and made it clear that it wasn't a matter of looking for sex or being pushy but simply meeting up as friends and seeing how we got on. I'm not on here to chat and I'm not even looking for dates just now. I'm done with wasting my time with all of this BS. If I want to chat to a woman that isn't playing daft games while hiding behind a computer I can simply go down the pub.

Good luck with whatever it is that you're looking for though.

i'm only answering for myself here. i have dating as what i'm looking for because thats what i'm here for. but if i met the right girl then who knows. i'm too old for love storys and all that stuff but i would never rule it out. if for instance i had a few dates with someone but it never worked out then so be it, if we had a nice time and parted as friends then great. if we became lovers and fell for each other then that would be great too. easy come easy go i suppose

For me I never look for anything or have expectations, I just make friends and whatever happens happens.

When you say "friendship" or "good time together" or "fun" what do you mean?

Doesn't matter what I think it means.
Try emailing the people that say it and ask them.
Or if you are saying it and someone seems confused then explain what you mean to them.

Do you expect to get laid on a first, maybe second or third date?

Very few people "expect" to get laid unless they've already gotten laid from the person before.
With someone new they just hope they get laid, and will (sometimes) try very hard to fulfill that hope/wish/desire.
There's a big difference between expect and want-therefore-try that some people seem to not understand.

If that is a case, why not just you say it and call it "friendship with benefits" to avoid wrong expectations due to not calling things the right name?

You already have questions on what calling things mean, so how is calling something by the "right" name going to help?

Otherwise you are basically saying "Everyone should label things the way I do with my associations, and connotations, and know exactly how I will react to any given concept and be okay with it. It's all about me and what I want."

there is a reason I asked this question. My profile seemed pretty clear to me, but not to some men who interpreted it differently, so I was confused and didn't understand how and why they got the wrong message.

There is no guarantee they got the wrong message.
They may simply not have wanted to deal with your message, instead wanting to force theirs upon you.
Basically, "I want what I want and I don't give a crap about what you want, but I will be happy to try and manipulate you into believing I can give you what you want as long as I am going to get what I want."

Friendship is a friendship. Why complicate things?

Friendship is a friendship? Really?
So you believe your "friend" that you've known since 2nd grade is on the same level as the "friend" at work you only talk to over the cubicle wall?
That's sad.

Things are complicated. Pretending they aren't, or taken things for granted, doesn't mean they become less complicated than they are.


Other than that
. My profile seemed pretty clear

Profiles don't really mean anything when people can push themselves into your life by a click of a button on their end.
Profiles aren't magic weeding out privacy bushes or magic perfect whatever relationship you want bait.
It really doesn't matter what your profile says.

Complaining about people not following the dictates of your online dating profile is little different than complaining about getting only 2 extra pickles when you asked for 3 when going through the drive through.

Hey, I was just responding to the OP. She was the one quoting me and trying to insult me, as you apparently are as well.

I have no intention of talking about private things that are going on in my life that are none of your business. I was talking about my experiences with dating sites and what the women on them are like because some dude posted a thread asking about that. Sometimes the truth hurts I guess and then people resort to lame flames.
