  • Ah ok. If you’re hiding your true self then no point continuing if you don’t think or feel it’s right.

    He also did something that TOTALLY reminded me of my brother in law. It was FREAKY and totally put me off any ermmm activities shall we say!

    What I need is a well read plumber. I heard that on the radio - Kathy Burke I think? And I really know what she means. Normal but knowledgeable? Useful in a crisis. 

    Anyhow do I bake a cake or buy a cake. I think I will buy. 

    I am not a natural in the kitchen. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    We used to tease our male friend that he wanted a six foot supermodel with a PhD in astrophysics.

    A plumber with a PhD in literature?

    I used to date a well read carpenter - we never really got beyond the stage of going out for dinner and sha**ging but he was a really nice bloke to be around

    You’re all making me laugh this morning. 

    I’d like a well read pro athlete (for the body) with financially security of his own (just so they’re not sponging off me). X

    While we're all making lists ... I agree with @Willowtree222 that financially secure is important, as is well read/educated so that if you get further than @[Deleted User] you can have a conversation ;), and definitely practical. I'm not sure I want someone whose body would constantly remind me that mine needs work!

    Mind you, YouTube is a mine of useful information and I'm now competent to do DIY I never thought I would be simply because it's less hassle than getting someone in... so maybe purely decorative is fine?

    I mean, we did talk over dinner (which is how I knew he was very well read) but we never really got deeper than that!

    I guess it depends which deeper you’re referring too 😳🙊

    I enjoy admiring a well sculpted body! I guess it does make me paranoid a little about my own but i think that’s why lights and duvets were invented!  Xxxx
