  1. I'm considering getting a minor procedure on my face that should improve things a bit.  It's something that should make me look a little younger,  definitely not 'enhancing' anything.

    For context I'm a man in his 40s who's dating after separating from my long term partner.  Definitely wouldn't be considering this if I wasn't dating, but photo-based dating apps are fúcking brutal.

    I think that loads of the pop-advice / self improvement gurus that seem to be popular today give appalling bad advice to people, particularly men. If you read lots of these guys there’s this idea you need to be dominant, aggressive, be a winner, an alpha etc to be a successful person, to meet women, to do well in your work etc. Often these gurus will display really horrible traits themselves personally, being abusive, violent or prone to alcohol and drug abuse.

    I don’t think think I’ve ever heard these people (I’m sure you all know the genre of people in talking about) ever say that being kind is a good way to succeed. Hopefully their social media teach exaggerates how seriously people take them and IRL people have better guidance.

    As a man who is nothing like that and on a dating app, I think they are on to something TBH.

    I'm perplexed that between 50% and 70% of people don't hear words in their head. How the f**k do they think?

    Me too, although it brings into question how animals think, given they don't have language.

    Anyway, my inner monologue is refreshingly foul-mouthed and depraved.

    Don't think they're going tits up as much as Discovery want you to subscribe to Discovery + instead. Higher fee for less cycling no doubt. A shame, I'm not a subscriber but have seen bits of their films etc they make and they're always decent.

    I have a subscription to Eurosport and always hear the commentators telling me I need GCN+ to have no ads... and yet I don't get any ads even though I don't have GCN+.  

    Is this - whatever it is that's happening - going to affect watching cycling on Eurosport?

    Eta: Seriously, how in the name of Christ can you have MSM reporters on the ground in Brechin (or anywhere for that matter) for over 24hrs who still don't know how to pronounce the town's name?  

    Yesterday I heard Bre (as in 'meh') chin (as in 'chin'). 

    And of course the obligatory For (as in 'for') far (as in 'far').  But with the emphasis on the wrong syllable.

    Tend to find if you’ve been chatting to someone for long enough then just asking them “fancy going out for drinks/dinner/coffee” usually works. Gets easier the more you do it though and you can kinda feel the vibe better

    Knowing when to ask is a fine art though.  I was getting on amazingly with a (very attractive) lady so I asked her out on my 4th message.  Got pretty short shrift.  Other times I've left it for over a week and they've lost interest.  Yet other times I've left it so long I've been asked out by them.

    I've been on Match and eHarmony so if my current tryst doesn't work out I'll try Bumble.  Don't have the photos or date of birth for Tinder.

    Get the ones with the wee raging chicken on them. Add popcorn chicken pre coated in sriacha to really piss the wee bastirt off. Bliss.

    Edit : @Gnash, dint eat anything from Pataks. :lol: got some horror stories from their place in Dundee.

    Dundee? Christ, that's a game changer. Not found any used condoms yet though.

  8. Curry paste is a good shout.  The Sainsbury's version was nowhere near as good as Patak's, and actually more expensive.

    Danpak from Lidl, don't bother trying it, it's shite.

     

    I stand to be corrected, but I don't think Danpak does a butter that's both unsalted and spreadable.
