Politicians.
Unfortunately, a powerful job is an attraction for some gals. Otherwise, how could that 3 foot Scottish Ginner minger MP from a few years back get to bed his stunning secretary!

He certainly looked like a Bulldog chewing a wasp, inside a ripped welly that had been in a fire from a car crash. With dandruff.
So insignificant was he, I can’t even remember his name.

The PM for another…

I’ve checked my PM’s, no names listed.

I’ve got so old that I completely missed the bit about ” blokes just need to be functional with a sense of humour to pull a mate “.
Oh please ….. !
Ah,I get it,it’s another old shape wind-up.isn’t it ?

I do not wind up anybody!! Gross insult m’lady.

“Mate” You must have read that as Partner. See the long post. I agree, to find a “Partner” a bloke needs a lot more than that.

Old shape.given your attitude I’m amazed you’ve managed to get as much action as you claim.
Imagine for one moment that you’re a woman of a certain age.Not only do you have to put up with the usual ageing process that affects men and women,you’re constantly bombarded with the message that you have to keep yourself looking young,because absolutely the worst thiing that can happen is,God forbid,you might actually look your age.
It seems to me that men have very little idea of this constant unspoken pressure to deny that you’re the age you are.
One of the reasons that I like New Zealand so much is that women there don’t seem to have bought into this fallacy,and are so much more comfortable just being themselves.
Oh well,since it’s still my birthday and I’m stuffed full of chocolate I’ll leave you to your delusions.
Out of interest,which men look like bulldogs chewing wasps ?

Happy birthday!

Yes, NZ gals. There is a Kiwi rides past my house daily on her pushbike, we sometimes platitude about the weather etc. And yes, she clearly sticks two fingers up at make-up and mirrors.

The decision to get action is simply to make a choice in the nightclubs etc. One can quickly judge if she’s going to be up for it, as I’ve said before it’s usually the female that makes the 1st move with her eyes, the male must then make the chase (Having been given permission to do so by her body language). If that’s all one wants, then that’s fine…3 points home-win, 2 points for a rematch if you take her home next week for the away game.
If one is looking for a “Partner”, a keeper – a totally different set of standards is put into action and a totally different decision criteria is used.
I would not consider a 2nd date with some of the old slappers I’ve dragged out of a club…..but a good wild romp is always better than going home alone with a take-away curry.
Shallow? You are damn DAMN right, it gets the nookie. And as you know, the more you get, the more you attract the opposite sex, the pheromones etc. must fill the air. If one just wants a romp, it’s no use looking for an intellectual equal or a nice family background etc. Attractive face, appropriate body shape (To ones tastes) alive, human and female. Nothing else matters for that occasion. Just another notch on the headboard for both of us. Once I commit though, there is no farting about, no infidelity…IMO that’s the biggest crime in a relationship. I personally find it very easy to be faithful, I look at lots of menu’s and then dine at home.
For the record, and to show I’m not an absolute cad and bounder, the present Mrs Old shape is the longest lasting, and has borne me 2 children of my 5. It was absolutely love at first sight, and having been divorced twice and lived with a lass for 6 years one would think I’d had enough Wedding Cake…but I knew, just knew that this was the best, the best ever. I proposed after 9 days, we married 1 year after meeting.
I still insist that she is probably the best person, never mind woman, that I have ever met. She took a lot of finding mind!

Further, the young men of today are putting themselves under the same pressure. Face creams, shavers with 300 blades, waxing the back-n-crack and and and and.
In my day, it was Brut 33 if you were poor and Paco Rabanne if you had a bit of spending money. (Oh, and I used to pinch a bit of me mams Oil of Olay for my lips as it softened them, for the purpose of great kissing ha ha ha).

I don’t look my age, probably because I kept myself fit until about 5 years ago when my knee went and I can’t run. I look at my school pals from 1973on Enemies re-united and I am probably the only one with all my hair, not grey (Yet). I’m also not fat (yet). I have my own teeth (In a box).

Ever tried booking a flight online ?

All the time, but that I can understand…the nearer to departure time the more expensive. There is a finite timeline on a flight, so first come first served etc.
But Car insurance?

See,that’s exactly my point.Women are judged on their appearance so much more than men are,and once you’re past a certain age,well,you might as well be invisible.
would old shape make the same remark about a man ? I don’t think so.

You goddam bet your last penny I would!!

Like it or not, the female of the species has to look attractive in order to pull a mate. Blokes just need to be functional with a sense of humour. We ALL make our decisions based on the first 4 seconds of meeting somebody, as you know 80% of communication is non verbal…this includes the appearance and gait etc. etc. If that 4 seconds doesn’t hit a few notes, move on, otherwise you could waste a lifespace and even worse, waste money on a few drinks!!
Fair enough, butt ugly women meet men and are happily married. They obviously have a great personality etc. and are a safe bet for a bloke “Protecting his assets” as she isn’t likely to be scooped away. There is a lid for every pan, the odd milk-pan escaping the net of course.

Or a bulldog chewing a wasp…:cool:

I’m afraid that’s Subo.

I’ll get me coat.

I was watching The Weakest Link the other day, and I swear, as she winked, her face barely moved….

Anne’s facelifts…..She looks like a Chinaman in a wind tunnel.
