You go girl! as an unrepentant plump person I get fed up with being judged by my size!
best wishes

It is easy to avoid the "British Slappers" if you know where to go. For example cities like Barcelona attract people from all over not just British. Resorts outside Barcelona have many more tourists from other European countries rather than Britain. In Ibiza, San Antonio is where the drunk Brits are, Ibiza town is where you find Swedes, Dutch etc..

Unfortunatly for you, this reprisal is coming from exactly the type of woman you like to attract! Just under 5 foot 6, size 10, approx 81/2 stone, bluey green eyes, long blonde hair. Modelled my Butt for an Athena poster, and on the whole am not liked by most women as they instantly class me as a threat!
So for every other woman out there, who doesn't like the attitude of men like you, this babe is saying, "mate, you wouldn't get an inch!"

What makes you think that you are the type of woman I like to attract? Just because you like to think that you are attractive? Maybe you misunderstood my earlier posts, being attractive is not the ONLY requirement. Being attractive is just a start and gets you in the door. After that, it is all about attitude. And frankly, yours stinks. So, I am sorry to disappoint you, you might have your looks going for you(according to you), but frankly not much else.

So for every other woman out there, who doesn't like the attitude of men like you, this babe is saying, "mate, you wouldn't get an inch!"
The funny thing about being an attractive, successful man is that because there are so few of us, there is never a shortage of women willing to date us.

The little we know of you is that:

- you're in middle age

- you have neither children nor a partner

- you work from the home in which you live alone

- you think you look good

what about you do you think connotes "success"?

Y'know, this really isn't the kind of information you want to be divulging on an internet forum with a private messaging system. Well, unless you really *want* that kind of attention.

Since the beginning of time, women have been attracted to the leader of the pack, the alpha, i.e the male with the resources and the one that is in the best position to take care of their offspring.

Wealth, money, power, these are all irresistible to women. In much the same way that men are attracted to youth and beauty.

Well, there are only 2M and a large number of them dont speak English (or at least feign that when he approaches them)


Im not particularly wealthy, or powerful, or good looking, but there is at least one woman who loves me for who I am, and I'm happy...maybe thats better than wealth and power.

Didn't really take much getting used to.

Men settle for a woman when they see their looks and/or marketability with women fading and are petrified of spending their life alone.

Plus if you are the type of a guy who doesn't have too much choice when it comes to women, it is much easier to grab the first one that finds you remotely attractive and try and marry her.

I don't have any such issues. Lived with a girlfriend for quite a while. It is much better this way.
