Ok, so It's Sunday morning and after cycling 12 miles over two days, my legs are starting to feel the burn. It was miserable weatherwise as predicted, but that didn't stop me. I was out there at 11am yesterday battling the elements, (well..a little wind and rain) and felt ready for the day ahead. By 7pm, I was back in Grandpa mode and could've easily dropped off for a little snooze. I have realised that I need to get some ankle bracelets or maybe just duck tape my jeans (i mean around the ankles, not a new Lady Gaga inspired fashion moment) as on one side they're nicely coated in chain oil :( And I always used to laugh at cyclists with ankle bracelets thinking "What idiots! Do you actually know what they look like with those on?"
I was cycling home after a quick visit to Mum's yesterday, and as I was cycling home, thre was a guy on the road (in full 'tour de france' gear) speeding past me and as he reached a speed bump, showed off with a little jump which almost went entirely wrong as he mistimed his landing and almost went flying - which would've been to my amusement.
On the dating side of things, I've searched through all of the profiles and only found two or three that caught my eye. I have messaged them, proud of the fact they're individual messages and not just a copy and paste job, and now waiting to hear (if anthing) back from them. Some of the profiles are questionable, when all they enter as they're opening line is "Nice ass, let's lick it". I wouldn't of thought that's quite the way you want to make a first impression, but I guess there truly is someone for everyone! Now comparing this form of dating with Speed Dating, now that I've experienced both - I'd say that Speed Dating is more fun and atleast everyone goes there with an open mind and a sense of fun. Online sites, such as this one tend to list everyone's "ideal" preferences, which obviously gives you an idea of what that person is looking for, but some profiles do read more like a shopping list. Sometimes it would be easier to simply put "looking for a Megan Fox-alike, if not, don't contact me".
Now, my past experience with Miss Spambot has taught me well and you can pretty much identify the 'fake' accounts instantly. Many just have 1 photo on their profile, and that's not a 'typical Myspace camera pointed at me from an angle' shot, but they've paid for a professional photoshoot and look incredible. Other profiles read more like an interview ad that include "Good communication skills is a must, educated and someone who sets their own goals and can achieve them." Christ! Why not just request 007 to get in touch, he can even 'take care' of your ex's for you.
Well, it's early days yet, but let's see what this week will hold! Next update on FRIDAY 14TH MAY.
