Subject: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Kev The Clogs Date: 24 May 07 - 10:00 AM Just a thought!! How many of you out there are single? Anyone ever tried those Dating web sites? You know, the ones where you say fun loving, like country walks, nights in by the fire, go to the gym etc etc - and oh, by the way, I'm into Folk Music and Morris Dancing!! It's like the kiss of death!! You might as well say that you have two heads and ate your grandmother for breakfast this morning!! I was wondering!! If there are enough of us on Mudcat, I wonder if Mudcat would consider setting up such a section for us Folkies? At least we would all have a commonm genuine interest, to start from. Looking forward to the replies - this could be interesting!! Good, singing, playing and dancing to you all!! |

Subject: RE: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: John MacKenzie Date: 24 May 07 - 10:07 AM Is that 'Sell by' dating, or 'Use by' dating? Or even, [perish the thought] 'Best before'! What about, 'Consume within 24 hours of opening'? Enquiring minds wish to know. Giok Banjo indeed Mary !!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Pilgrim Date: 24 May 07 - 10:10 AM Yeah, I'd be interested. From a purely scientific point of view, you understand. Just hang on a minute whilst I delete my cookie. Oooops. Damn. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Little Hawk Date: 24 May 07 - 10:18 AM Yeah, right. As if.... ;-) I'm not interested. Not even slightly. But Chongo is. Anyone out there want to date a cigar-smoking chimpanzee with a funloving and action-oriented lifestyle? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Pilgrim Date: 24 May 07 - 10:22 AM Is Chongo a gurl chimpanzee?? Baby silverback in a thong sounds quite tempting at the moment. Not sure how many places will be left to take a cigar smoker out in the not too distant future though. Have to say, I went out with a laydee who looked like a strategically shaved... nah, I'll get me coat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: MMario Date: 24 May 07 - 10:28 AM isn't silverback a term for a MALE gorilla? chat room and private messages are available for people who want to hook up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Pilgrim Date: 24 May 07 - 10:38 AM In all seriousness though, you would only really PM someone with a view to dating them if you had built up some kind of previous rapport. Dating Section would be more of an initial contact kinda thing wouldn't it? And lets face it, what better place to meet like minded souls? Don't know much about computers, but I imagine the stumbling block for a dating section would be the time and expense of producing / upkeeping such a site. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: GUEST,Mingulay at work Date: 24 May 07 - 11:48 AM I quite like the occasional date, usually around Christmas time when they're sold in those little wooden boxes and all stick together when you try to get them out................................ Ohhhhhhhhh! THAT sort of dating. With (as Bobert would put it) wimminz and such stuff. Nah, don't go in for luxuries any more. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Bill D Date: 24 May 07 - 11:48 AM THE OLD MAID When I was a girl of eighteen years old I was scornful as scornful could be I was taught to expect wit, wisdom and gold And nothing less would do for me. Ah! those were the days when my eyes beam'd bright, And my cheek was like the rose on the tree; And the ringlets they curl'd o'er my forehead so white, And lovers came courting to me. The first was a youth any girl might adore, And as ardent as lover could be; But my mother having heard that the young man was poor, Why! he would not do for me. And then hobbled in, my favour to beg, An officer in our navy; But tho' famous in arms, he wanted a leg, So he would not do for me. And now came a lawyer, his claims to support, By precedents from Chancery; But I told him I was judge in my own little court, And he would not do for me. The next was a dandy, who had driven four in hand, Reduced to a Gig--d'ye see; In getting o'er the ground, he had run thro' his land, So he would not do for me. I'd a suitor from the South, and another from the West, I think, from the state of Tennesee; But one was rather old, the other badly drest, So neither of them suited me. These were nearly the last, I was then forty-four, I am now only just fifty-three; But I really think that some, I rejected before Would now do very well for me. Then all ye young ladies, by me warning take Who scornful or cold chance to be; Lest ye from your fond silly dreams should awake Old Maidens of Fifty-three.

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Ebbie Date: 24 May 07 - 12:35 PM If a person were serious about it, I should think that the Mudcat itself would let them know what most posters are like, whether they are single and/or available, and interested in folk music, or music at all. If the person is *not* serious about it, he or she will not be reading the 'Cat enough to get the information. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 May 07 - 12:40 PM There are some fine examples of Mudcatters managing this all by themselves without the high octane of an dedicated dating section. Kendall and Jacqui are at the top of that list. I can just see the Mudcat dating ads now: Lonely folkie/guitar player, 50ish, male, likes poetry, romantic dinners, and long walks in the woods, seeks svelt, 30ish guitar player. Send photo of guitar. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: kendall Date: 24 May 07 - 01:03 PM A friend of mine once advertised in the dating section of the Maine Times this ad: Wanted, young woman to assume missionary position in St. George Maine. It was amazing how many replies he got. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: jacqui.c Date: 24 May 07 - 01:06 PM You're right SRS. I think that just reading through the threads gives some idea of what any particular person is like, both from their own posts and from the way that other Mudcatters react to them. I got to know Kendall as a person before he was even considered as a partner, particularly since I certainly wasn't going to leave England for the USA. IMHO that is the best way to do it - don't go looking for a partner but try to make friends. If you feel a kinship with another Mudcatter then PM them - maybe they will come back to you. It worked for us. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Joe Offer Date: 24 May 07 - 01:44 PM See? So, we have testimony from Jacqui C., attesting to the fact that Mudcat is already a very effective dating forum. Chongo, there may be hope for you yet. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: gnu Date: 24 May 07 - 02:02 PM I once advertised for construction supers and quantity survey crews for my business in our local paper with a box number. Someone at the paper got the box numbers mixed up with an ad in the "personals" section written by a gentleman whose ad drew a number of responses from females. I opened two of them before I realized the mistake. They were hilarious. I still recall one quote, "I smile at the drop of a hat." A less scrupulous fellow might have called her up for joke. Okay, here is my contribution to the new dating section.... 50yo DWMNK seeks multi-millionaire nympho. Object: matrimony, children, fishing, hunting, watching football & hockey & rugby & Aussie Rules & soccer. Must be deaf - I play Bodhran. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 24 May 07 - 02:36 PM "When I was a young man, I read many books In a place called The British Museum; There were plenty of women who gave me strange looks, But somehow, I just didn't see 'em. Now I am sixty and weary of books; Of knowledge, I think I have plenty; And now I'm beginning to notice girls' looks: They are most of them round about twenty. If I polish my glasses I see them quite well, And some are remarkably pretty; It occurs to me now - dammit, there goes the bell - That I've wasted my life. What a pity!" (may not have remembered it exactly, but Bill D contribution put me in mind of it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 24 May 07 - 02:52 PM Hiya. Someone was inquirin' as to what sex I am. I'm male. 110% male. I like fast cars, speakeasies with good jazz music, dinin' out, and cuttin' the rug out on the dance floor with a dame that has long legs and knows exactly what she wants outta life. I will take blondes, brunettes or redheads, all are okay with me. I like a woman who ain't afraid of nothin' and who speaks her mind. No shrinkin' violets for this ape. I have a second to none collection of old Tarzan movies and memorabilia to peruse. Step up to my pad and see. I got a treehouse in the country too, suitable for any "Jane" who likes the great outdoors. I like stayin' up most of the night, sleepin' in late, and workin' hard when I am short of money and partyin' when I ain't. You will never get bored with me around. Never. I guarantee it. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 24 May 07 - 04:03 PM Man....just look at that ugly bastard! Orangutans are THE ugliest primates there are. No friggin' contest. That Orang was definitely lookin' for a date. No doubt about it. Bein' caged up can make anyone get antsy after awhile, and Orangutans are the worst. They'll make a pass at anything. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: kendall Date: 24 May 07 - 04:39 PM As I recall, Jacqui said something in a thread that interested me, so I e mailed her and we started e mailing back and forth. I mentioned that I was scheduled to visit Old Blighty, and she invited me to stop by for a chat. I did, and suddenly, I felt like Odysseus when he ran afoul of Calipso. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: kendall Date: 24 May 07 - 04:48 PM Long arms and no tail? Maybe that's why he broke out. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: gnu Date: 24 May 07 - 05:06 PM Hey, Chongo... ugly is in the eye of the beholder. A'course, I wouldna wanna be holdin that, needer. Cap'n Kendall... all this naughtycal talk is Greek to me. Or, were you referring to Calipso dance music rather than Phillipe in the shark cage? |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Mickey191 Date: 24 May 07 - 06:31 PM I read the local "lonely Hearts" ads & I wonder why someone who is: 20-beautiful-great figure outgoing-great dancer- would need to advertise? Or is it a cover for hookers? Last week in the men's ad: I'm fit-Love hiking in the woods. I'm a young 88. Any dame that would answer that better know CPR. I did answer one: senior political activist, loves music & movies. Would like a dinner companion-nothing serious.That suited me-just what I'm looking for. We connected on the phone. After small talk the guy wanted me to sing for him. I demurred, then he insisted I sing for him. I said next time- "NO -I want you to sing now!" I told him he should call Tammy Wynette. I still laugh when I see his same ad--guess no one wants to sing for the control freak. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Richard Bridge Date: 24 May 07 - 06:34 PM I don't often read the lonely hearts. When I do I notice the women specify "solvent". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Kev The Clogs Date: 24 May 07 - 06:37 PM Richard, I KNEW I could rely on you to bring that one up!! Folks, it was a serious suggestion, but I KNEW it would be a laugh to see the reaction! I have been reading the threads so far, and you haven't failed - GSOH from all, which goes to prove why I get on here to mix with you crazy people! OK - male, single, live in Sevenoaks, Kent - now you know! Seriously, you've cheered me up no end! Looking forward to whatever appears next (Richard - don't you dare say anything else!!) Hope to see some of you at Pete Hicks' funeral and wake. Bye for now :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Mickey191 Date: 24 May 07 - 07:12 PM Richard-I've seen that often. I always took that it meant a bit of desperation and that it would attract some unemployed characters. It could also be a subtle way of saying I don't mind paying for your company. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dating Section for Mudcat!!! ??? From: Pseudolus Date: 25 May 07 - 02:54 PM Gnu, I heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, ugly goes straight to the bone! Anyway, who needs a dating section? Just start a thread! You can put blue clickies into the message pointing to posts that show off your sparkling personality. Perhaps a DATE prefix could be created. Just a thought... Frank |
