Dear heavens - anything would be better that a string vest! 😱
Frankly, from the pictures she showed me on her phone, most of them look like they want or need a Carer/Housekeeper than a companion/lover. 😁

No way I'd unleash the kraken on a video call.
I don't want to be held responsible for any heart attacks.

At their age a few krakens are probably being unleashed anyway.

Our prince doesn’t need dating apps. Actually with their money it’d be a winner so maybe they do…

String vest & a can of Stella ?
I know we live in an instant gratification society these days but your absolutely right, who would introduce themselves on the first video call shirtless, especially as were talking a more mature age group -
IDK maybe they have already been on the pish plucking up Dutch courage earlier in the afternoon?

Maybe it's because they are the more mature age group - they feel they haven't got time to be messing about with the niceties of courtship. The ones who don't buy green bananas, just in case......or maybe they feel an older woman would be grateful for anything (unfair but it happens).
I can't understand it either!

I have used the Shag website. You pick a region of the UK, and an array of compatible persons in your age range are there. All have photos. The profile states they are looking for a fun partner, but most of the photos show the person naked and bent over a radiator, or similar. Messaging these people is where it costs, about £1.30 a go, plus a monthly membership. All the profiles are obviously fake, and it's a way to get cash out of desperate people. Personally, I've had to extend my overdraft a few times. 🙂

Out of interest are these ladies reliable heating engineers? A bit of radiator maintenance is always a wise precaution.

I view it all as quite sad, not in a condescending way, but as a perspective of seeing a lot of older people without anything like the number of people connections of past generations.
An older guy acting like an 18 year old with a permanent hard on obviously doesn't have a lot of common sense influences around him.

I think you make a good point.
If someone just wants casual sex I think that there is a point to certain apps perhaps.....that's if you can navigate their obvious aim of taking your money by deceit. Rudi seems to being doing well as he has the brain cells to know its systems.
However I think if someone actually wants to make friends and relationships.....which I don't scorn because a healthy human is a reasonably social human (because we are designed to live in groups) then....like I've said I think the old ways of meeting new people are still the best.....internet stuff has its place but I think nothing replaces actually being there.
The first is through work and its connections.....obviously if people are retired this method is moot.
The second is through pubs, bars (is there a difference) and nightclubs (older nights).
The third is social clubs, sometimes called hobby groups but don't chose an exclusively male hobby unless you want five inches of love in all the biologically wrong places....then there is cultural events, festivals and so on.
But the most obvious requirement is being social, friendly and into making connections, because a lot of people fall out of the habit of opening up....quite understandable but you can't win a lottery without buying tickets.
But if you can't be bothered with dishonest dating apps and just want real hard and rough and dirty sex, then just join your local church congregation.....but don't bend down in front of the rector.

I thought about joining clubs to network, but it can still be a lengthy process and a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.
Then I though about joining a gym. All that female sweat containing pheromones and the testosterone pouring from your own body, and you've only just signed the paperwork.
You get to see people with limited clothing, in a setting that's quite social and no alcohol to impair judgement.
The downside is that you have your own body-consciousness to contend with, and perhaps the difficulty of trying to conceal a hard-on in lycra cycling shorts. 🙂

There is also the competition from all those lean, mean carb busting athletic types. Although most of them are too busy looking at themselves so there's always a chance.

Weight rooms are male domains and you won't find that many females there......The women who regularly use gyms in mixed areas are usually quite confident and usually in shape.....not always but women tend to be more self conscious than men.
I wouldn't use a gym to meet women though, it's not really why people are there.....You need somewhere where the women understand that friendly approaches can be made, like a pub or expressly social event.

anybody remembers which standup comedian said........There is no point going off with a frigid-bridget, nor a granny nor a happily married type, i was looking to meet women who were sexually active and open to going with new partners.........and so i hovered around the STD clinic.

I’ve joined Tinder, but found that on the free service you can’t see who’s ‘liked’ you, only when you’ve both liked each other
I decided to try Gold for a week but then after a few hours decided on platinum. Can’t remember the difference. It might be that you can message before both matching but most importantly I’d like to see those who’ve liked me first for at least a trial
Problem is not even those I’ve liked myself are displaying in my account. And it’s a lot, because the standard of women is pretty good at first look on screen.
No support available on the app or on social media so I’ve registered a ticket in the States to get it resolved. I wonder how often this sh1t goes on.
The quality of women is pretty good though. The quality of men must be high however, but if I can’t even see if my own likes are registering and those women are still options, does anything on my account work?

well lucky you if she is still capable of being on it. Some of those birds online are less of the periods and more of the zimmer frame. They will regale you with reminiscences of welcoming home the survivors of the Battle of the Somme.

You need to upgrade again to Platinum, Platinum double-Plus. That membership empties your bank account, just like a real woman.

I’m on platinum for a week.
I cannot see who I’ve liked first
Those same people come back to like or not like, including the enhanced people
Fvcking annoying
