BBC Radio London was on here at work and the guest before lunch was talking about downsides to modern technology etc.

Then he said, “In my day, we courted and dated women. Now you just meet on the internet and within five minutes you’re having anal sex!”

I almost spit my tea out.

He was told that he shouldn’t say that sort of thing. But… just wondering how many of you have had anal sex with a woman on a first date that you met online. I’m thinking it’s probably none of you.

That’s a nice story. :smile:

It’s actually looking less likely now, unfortunately. Not absolutely out of the question but it’s cooled down somewhat.

Free speech isn’t defined by the BBC allowing you to say “anal sex” live on the radio at lunch time. :wink:

I don’t fancy many people. I wish I fancied more people. :frowning:

Edit: meant for the who do you fancy thread, but fits here too! :frowning:

this is what people who have never actually used online dating think. Wishful thinking on their part I think

well if that’s what he wants I guess - he must have much stronger tindr photo/ profile game than me.

Is he in London? I sometimes wonder if the sheer number of single people there changes the way it all works a bit.

I spoke to a friend of a friend once (who lived in london) who said he used a spreadsheet to keep track of all his potential online conquests. All a bit eww

keep thinking about that Seinfeld when George is living at his parents house and brings a girl back - and pretends the house is his and he has retro taste

Re the spreadsheet, I was speaking to a considerably older friend the other day and he was talking about how he used to log his conquests in a little book so he could remember them. I thought that sounded quite quaint and romantic and possibly the basis of an edgy romcom. However, once you do it in a spreadsheet, it comes across as quite clinical and pivot tabley. You can’t win!

Ask them out, some people are shy, not particularly good at conversing online or not interested but too polite to just not respond to messages.

Has your friend ever had cause to use Excel’s ‘CONCATENATE’ function?

he’s no friend of mine - only met him the once

Apologies - misread the post… friend’s friend.

Oh, I hear you… no worries.

I’m a huge advocate of the spreadsheet and will use them for anything, no matter how inappropriate… but I’d draw the line at anything as nefarious as this!

Anyone else get excited when they had a new message from an unknown woman on OKC? Only to find out it was a member of staff repeating the new message functionality.

Vaguely remember some hench guy saying he did this on here? And got completely mauled for it.

Tbh this sums up my attitude and why I don’t go to the effort of @Songs_about_ducking’s lothario buddy:
