Never volunteer to do things for charity especially when you're comfortably settling in to the sofa and middle age.
DS, BC & WN thanks for the test to my willpower - having said that being a single male there is'nt a lot to eat in the cupboards
social dting site like a kinda vertual pub where you dont have to go out side for a fag , the beers cheap ,can allways get to the bar , and still say daft things when psssd
and its full off intresting peeps and probably a few creeps
lol
I believe this site is what you want it to be - we all seem to have made it into a social site to have fun and a lot of banter, and peeps have met one another and got together, along the way.... I personally joined to make friends away from mine and my ex-husbands and its worked for me over the last two years. I think we all would like to meet someone special when we join who is into what we are too - bikes, rallies, ride outs etc - and its amazing how when you stop looking, or in my case, you least expect it - that special person turns up....
tiz true N think you ralax and be your self more thats wen it happens ! i started thinking want to meat some one but allredy thinkin freinds is way forward no presure then
I'm just myself anyway, what you see on here is what you all get - bit scatty and nutty around the edges, not a lot going on onboard but then thats me and personally I wouldn't have me any other way
Ian had a little rant about
LC receiving nods when she was attached and I was trying to calm him
down by explaining that a nod can just be a friendly hello and not
necessarily a chat up line.
Even if someone DOES intend a nod as a chat up line, it's not a problem. It's only a problem if the recipient of the nod takes it as a chat up line and progresses things further with the nodder.
I usually send a "cheers for the nod" message and if they're a new member, direct them to the forums & events calendar.
If I'm going to (or organising) a meet, I also tend to PM the people signed up for it who I've not met before, to introduce myself and/or tell them approximately where we're likely to be at the event.
Just because my profile says "attached" doesn't mean I can't talk to anyone else on the site.
If people PM'ing or nodding you is a problem, there is the facility to disable your profile. Then you don't come up on searches or browses, but can still join in the forums etc. I did that last year when I went from "attached" to "single" and prompted a flurry of tiresome messages from people who seemed to assume I'd be after jumping from one thing straight into another. Not my scene. But they wouldn't know that, so I figured it was better just to turn "invisible" temporarily, than to take it out on them
yes, Ive always thought of and used it as a social site and like to post on the forums, join in the chat and meet members at events and rallies as and when possible..................anything else is a bonus..............or not, depending on the ppl and the outcome pmsl!!!!.................disabling profile is always an option and very useful if unwanted attention becomes a problem............good to be safe but still be able to join in as and what you want
All good and sensible stuff, but as one of the mods on this site I would ask people sending nods to make sure their profile is visible. We've had no end of complaints from people who've been nodded at and when they look to see who's sent the nod, the profile is unavailable. It does freak people out a bit, especially if they're fairly new to BM.
It's often new members who have disabled their profiles (apparently accidentally) and are sending nods out... Do you, as mods, send a message to the nodder when you receive a complaint from a noddee? IYSWIM...
