Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Who are all the single Fetchies!!

CC2 - I wouldn't worry about whether you call it a date or not. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. Just go, relax, have a nice time and see what happens :)

saint - you sound like you are only into the tiniest 0.1% of the population! how do you define 'slim'? I am a good 5kg heavier than i was last year at my lightest but feel a lot happier and more attractive for it....

I define it as having a smaller chest and waist than me! (and I'm not exactly a beanpole...)

Err just as many women have said to me over the years they feel awkward with the concept of a partner who is shorter than them, I don't like feeling at 6 foot 3 that I'm the slim, petite one - I did say "my age" though, a lot of the female population are not my age. I'm not in any way suggesting that my preferences are in any sense correct but I note that previous posters have outlined their preferences and been roundly congratulated for them - which is completely right.

Well Saint, we seem to have killed this thread!!!

Looks as though we're competing for almost the same group of lasses, I'm 6'2" and damn near M50!

This is an example of equality being taken to its extreme and falling over the other side – while it is ok for females to specify preferences it is less so for males. Cf. the current edition of Intelligent Life in which there is an article stretching over several pages examining why male conversation is boring. Imagine trying to get an article about female conversation being boring past the editor. IMHO everyone is entitled to their preferences and, indeed, without preferences and therefore differences, the world would be a far less varied and interesting place.

And I rather like tall, skinny older blokes too ;)

Here here max and MTTH :) Also I don't think people themselves actually have much say in what they find attractive, I mean you either fancy someone or you don't. I always say I like men with broad shoulders and dark hair but have met many men that match that description who, although objectively I can see are attractive, I simply don't fancy. It's all about the ping of chemistry, and if you don't have that ping you can't do that thing ;)
