Agree again BJ... that distance is only a problem if you let it be... personally, its just too huge a thing to overcome again... and maybe I am better off single with a load of good mates, with no-one telling me they are 'no good'...which is what happened with the last one!
I think that you can get from this site what you want to really. whether its just friends or something more. Just be yourself and enjoy!
i joined to meet some new folks into bikes and such, as the friends i have already think im completely barmy to want to ride a bike!!
a relationship ended for me and i had to leave behind the biker mates i had so for me it was about seeeking out new experiences and some new faces
which is exactly what i love to do!!
never worry about rejection cissy... you send out those nods!!
I dislike the nod even more than the wink it replaced!
They are confusing, folk have different meanings as to why they send them.
I've had winks/nods and sent them in return only to be completely ignored, so what was the point in sending me one in the first place?
If ya want my attention send me a private message then maybe I'll know exactly what you mean, unless your message is as confusing as the nods lol
I started out hoping I'd meet Mr right-for-me but I don't think he exists so now I'm just looking for male riders who would like some (pillion) company on rides out and who don't mind giving me a lift to the various B M gatherings such as Squires, Matlock and Rivington.
This site was just a dating site when it started but has developed, by the members, into a social site where friendships and relationships are made. No need to change it as it works just fine as it is, we already have 2 couples who have got married.

Don't think anyone wants to change it Kwak... no one said that, and it was not inferred in my original post... I was just curious about how other people are...active or reactive.
Don't much understand the nod either tbh
I wouldn't want it to change... only here could a lass message me cos she clicked on my profile "by mistake" and end up being a potential new friend!!
Love it!!
What an interesting thread. I too wonder if everyone has the same definition of a nod........ I now think not. I tend to check out the member status of folk who nod me, standard members may nod cos they cant pm. if they are standard members i drop a simple pm saying hi, thats it. then they can reply if they wish. I assume nods from full members are checking me out and if i nod them back they usually pm me. some folk are too shy to pm from cold. I do occassioanlly nod someone i like the profile of, but distance is a big issue for me, if i met someone i wanted to have a relationship with i would want them full time, not just weekends. Its a complicated issue, being single. and it seems a lot of us are happy being single, but deep down we probably all would love to meet the person that we have that spark with and want to spend the rest of our lives with.........
Totally agree PK.... single has some very good moments... but like you, I want someone full time...not intense weekends when I have the kids who also want my attention... I want someone to be there 7 days a week if I need them, and be there for them if they need me... 100 miles may as well be 1000 when times are tough on both sides.
Still confused by nods though lol
