Why dating in the UK in 2010 is like being on trial

[DJ Pat]

Today I had a date. First one for a while, as my previous conquests had been sort of off-the-cuff so to speak and not planned. This was planned, and I was thinking, the last date I went on in London was way back in 2002.

Females in the Uk today are obsessed with this 'girl power' syndrome, where most men are considered inadequate until they prove otherwise. Media throws out images and role models way too far above their stations and as a result this has bred a generation of shallow, self obsessed hard to please bitches.

Conversation was mostly generated by me, and when I thought she'd interject with an opinion or bit of conversation, she didn't and I had to fill the air with more inane drivel. I held my own quite well and she complimented my trainers, which was great for my ego.

I felt that I was being made to produce some kind of amazing impression of myself that just doesn't exist, and that she was just sitting there waiting to be impressed without a useful contribution to aid her expectation. I didn't want to appear like I was being a dominant egotisical prick by just talking but like I said, she offered nothing constructive.

I did wonder. Could she speak english? Course she could, she's a radio presenter.

Was she suffering paralysis? No she managed to walk from the railway station.

Was I boring the crap out of her? Quite possibly.

Was I dressed too provocatively? Not at all. Casual but smart and trendy: Paul Smith jeans, Fenchurch t-shirt with unbuttoned Ripcurl shirt over, brown smooth leather jacket, adidas boot trainers (as seen in my pic), neat hair etc.

What made her laugh? Talking about my cat. Sad really.

What went down badly? Not much actually.

Was her expectations of me too high before this meeting? Possibly. But she must have googled me beforehand, surely.

Did she spike my drink with a stimulant of some kind? No cos I had my eye on my decaf cappucino at all times.

So what was it? Why do I feel unfulfilled and not inclined to masturbate to release the tension?

[Marmite the Dog]

So what was it?

Not related? Didn't have to pay her?

[DJ Pat]

Very droll.

[Butterfly]

what else did you expect ? why do you think so many men move to Thailand ? I note a lot of nice and young fit gentleman in gogo bars these days, not the kind of clients you would have expected 10 years ago. The bargirls must be happy. That's why they become quite difficult for us old regulars now

Western women are spoiled and unrealistic. The more ugly and the more fat, the more likely they will be choosy. The best way to approach this is to go for the top hotties, they know men, and will go for cocks over personality any day.

[Bogon]

Where did you go wrong?
Well a date at a coffee shop seems to be a start.
Sitting at a small table sipping decaf in your Paul Smith's trying to drum up conversation isn't gonna make her wet and want to pounce on you.
Try a half decent restaurant where you can talk between mouthfuls and get some alcohol into her body for f**k sake!
I'm not talking about the early bird deal down the local Harvester, but some semi-decent place in a smart area of town.
Another tip is to talk about her her her and slip in with a few anecdotes about your cat and cousin when nescessary.

I think your intuition is correct. She was expecting you to 'sell' yourself.

Which, looking on the bright side, at least meant she saw you as a possible. If she'd started small talk (about her toenails) or gossiping about her girl pals, her boyfriends or reality television shows, then you'd know she just perceived you as a good friend.

adidas boot trainers

Very classy.
Did you regale her with tales of incest and Bangkok bargirls?
Maybe she was intimidated by your worldliness.

[AntRobertson]

She was expecting you to 'sell' yourself.

Hard sell.

A failed ex-TEFLer/DJ/Thaiophile/guy who posts about having anal sex with his cousin on internet forums would be like trying to sell a ten-owner, rust bucket, no MOT, 1972 Austin Maxi as a viable sportscar option.

[Travelmate]

Have you tried throwing money at her?

[the dogcatcher]

Europe.
Frosty weather.
Frostier women.
Rak blat tet Thai.

[Bobcock]

Send her a link to Teak Door.

That should make the next conversation interesting.

[withnallstoke]

Paul Smith jeans, Fenchurch t-shirt with unbuttoned Ripcurl shirt over, brown smooth leather jacket, adidas boot trainers (as seen in my pic), neat hair etc.

That attire just doesn't cut it with the over 60's. Try a younger relative next time.

Don't tell me he's gone through the rest of the family and he's going after granny now.

[CharleyFarley]

If someone tried to make conversation with me, drinking decaf cappuccino, I'd run a mile.

The only pussy you're going to get eats whiskas.

[the dogcatcher]

Vinegarstroke, what's your obsession with traffic cones?

[12Call]

Only a few more years and the Thais will be as money obsessed as them AND carrying the same amount of lard.

[withnallstoke]

Vinegarstroke, what's your obsession with traffic cones?

Comfort fit.

[the dogcatcher]

Vinegarstroke, what's your obsession with traffic cones?

Comfort fit.

No answer to that really is there?
But it does pose some interesting questions.

[kingwilly]

Vinegarstroke, what's your obsession with traffic cones?

What traffic cone?

[slimboyfat]

I note a lot of nice and young fit gentleman in gogo bars these days

I am sure you do!

That is so true, I've often pondered over this and wondered why this is so.?

There is an exception thou, that being when there young as the fat ugly one will shag a dog on a chain but when they get older they think there Marilyn foking Monroe.

Anyway, A dude has to do a lot of talking these days to pull a shag so mose well talk to horn cracker and try ones luck.

Oh fok it, cant be foked so better just come to Thailand and shag stunners for the price of a noodle soup and a seven up.

Dressed like that? She probably thought you were gay and she was wasting her time.

Well someone's gotta try the impossible I suppose.

Like selling doors, door to door.

But, I detect your snide air of spitefulness, and at least I'm not on a 'date' paying for everything at MK restaurant speaking bargirl pidgen english to some Isarn whore from a developing country.

How is TEFL-ing in 'paradise'?

If she has not got a car then she is not going to drive round to your gaff to let you bang seven bells out of her and then drive herself home so not much loss there Pat. Just treat it like the warm up interview. You know like when you haven't had a job interview in years and you can't remember how it works and it takes a few goes to get back in your stride.
