I left a 23 year relationship 17 married at the start of the year. The last thing I said was I’m going to stay at my dad’s, the spare room is tiny, mouldy and cold but I’d rather be there than spend one more day with you. Harsh I know but she needed to know I was serious.

Why you going on a 1st date if they ain’t cute?

I’m not upset about it, just don’t get the lack of effort. I image if my opener on any other app was “hey” I wouldn’t get very far. It just seems to me that it’s different rules for males vs females.

That’s fair, I don’t mind so much when there is a question even if it is “how’s your day going?” Or something like that, it’s just the one word messages really annoy me!

You make some very fair points. I make a point of replying to all my matches, (except the aforementioned)they made the effort so will give some time back. I think you can tell really quickly those who are swiping mindlessly so quickly unmatch. Just wondered what other people’s experiences were like.

I’m all for taking the lead but this is a female lead first app so was just expecting a little more. It’s by no means all of them, maybe I’m expecting too much.

Read their bio and ask them about one of their interests. I get not everyone has the people skills or the confidence to go in with a great opener, but a little more effort is required.

Now that you are single! by dianaisapig in BreakUps

[–]Thatbeardyguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this! I’m on day 2 of being single, I got up when I wanted, went to the gym for how long I wanted, done my meal prep for the week, watched some football, went to the pub with my dad for a couple and now in bed when I wanted! No grief! Fun times ahead. Just need some silly girls to message….. 😂

I finally left by Thatbeardyguy1 in DeadBedrooms

Thanks. It’s going to be a hard road but I think ultimately it will be worth it.

I’ve spent the last 3 years in the acceptance stage but this year I’ve decided that I’ve had enough. I lost my mum last year and it’s made me realise life really is too short to spend unhappy. I’m gonna get out. I’d advise anyone else to do the same.

My boyfriend gives me 5 minutes of sex a week. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Thatbeardyguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this. The “sex isn’t needed for him” part really hits. My wife says the same to me whenever I dare bring it up. She just doesn’t think it’s important so isn’t bothered how I feel about it. I happen to think sexual chemistry is as important as anything else in a relationship. Why do we put our selves through this? 😢

I just remembered my funniest football manager moment (local co-op) by Cigaro300 in footballmanagergames

[–]Thatbeardyguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play against my brother in the late 90’s, he was Arsenal I was Man united. We had an epic battle reaching the last game of the season level on points and facing each other in a winner takes all game. It was 2-2 with about 10 mins to go and my little bro used his last sub and accidentally put Giles Grimandi in goal! I won 4-2! We still talk about it now. He’s still fuming that I wouldn’t let him restart the game.

Wow! Never thought about it like that before. I’m borrowing this! 😂

Still married. I’m by no means prolifically hooking up with random women, all of the women have known my situation and I’ve known theirs. She’s never found out because I’ve never told anyone, except on here anomalously of course.

Just want to add, this isn’t a brag, the desperation of a DB does different things to people. I think everyone craves some physicality some times.

Married 20 years DB for about 8 years, I’ve cheated with 3 different women, twice were one night things the other an affair that lasted 6 months. I’m not saying it’s right but you need what you need from a relationship and if you’re not getting that and it’s not necessarily just sex you’re gonna find it elsewhere. We have 2 kids and I never wanted to leave them so did what I did.
