Recognise anyone?
It’s just a bit of fun, not looking to offend anyone, but have you ever spotted one or more of these female single types? I think there are a couple missing The guys on the other hand seem to boil down to two types, flirts or not flirts . . .• The Onlooker – intrigued by what everyone else is up to, quick to give her opinion, coy about her own agenda. Most Onlookers put their status as ‘in a relationship’ or ‘not available’. In their bio they say things like Not looking Not looking although some opt for putting their age as 99 and insist they are looking for older men only. Onlookers can be drawn into public flirtation. They give advice, and it is often worth reading.
• The Spiritual Soul – searching for love, but not just on the coarse physical plane. She seeks a soulmate, and wanders along the beaches (they nearly all live on beaches) thinking beautiful thoughts which she turns into poetry. She has frequent affairs which end when the potential soulmate would rather turn on the telly or go out for a pint than read yet another poem, and she realizes sadly that he is too of the earth to be The One. He is hustled out the door, immortalized in a poignant and regretful poem, and then forgotten.
• The Incorrigible Flirt – she’s naughty and fun, with a teasing word for everyone, scattering lavish compliments and flirting outrageously. She’s not going to settle down in a hurry – and she very rarely meets up, either, although there is always at least one meet-up imminent.
• The Hardboiled Egg – hardly counts as a single because she never, ever meets anyone. She complains there are no real men left, certainly none in her locality, and deletes private messages instantly because all messages are ipso facto from scammers. She makes disparaging comments in the public forums but gives good advice
• The Upgrader describes herself as single, but coyly admits in her first or second private message that she is in fact in a relationship / marriage but it isn’t working out.
• The Pragmatist is perhaps the most honest of all. She wants a better life for herself, preferably marriage, and is offering good company and that she will look after her man. Most of them are in poorer countries and with limited English but to judge by the blogs, the men who accept that offer and import a Pragmatist are pleased enough. However, many who look like Pragmatists are of course scammers. It is a very fine line to define. Be warned, too, gents, that genuine Pragmatists often turn fairly promptly into Upgraders.
• The Nut – phew, how to define a nut? She starts off seeming sensible but scratch the surface and the lunacy bubbles up. Nuts range from quirky to full-blown fruitcake. The Fruitcake is scary - some are sensible in the mornings, wildly erratic in the evenings. Some become demanding, attack other women on the forums, publicly insult men who have backed away, take the mildest remark as either a deadly insult or a heartfelt declaration, and appear in every shape and form. They get weirder and weirder until the website managers delete their profiles.
A little bit of nut in everyone is a Good Thing. You can have too much of a Good Thing, though.
This is for fun - be nice

Ish here's your coffee if you haven't whizzed off to your fiesta
I do feel half-sorry for guys who get caught up with Lolitas and protest that they didn't know. We were determined to look 18 and older
'Molly, Ever riding the ragged edge of disaster'
I'd much rather watch her beat you briskly up
I think it's time for me to go to sleep or read an Edge mystery
Goodnight ladies
Another exciting day tomorrow!
When you do get yourself suited for life with your forever partner, you will be very grateful that you learned an important fact about women first ... we like talking.
I kinda realised.. and you most definitely aren't alone.. molly is a chatter box. She'll of course deny it but am pretty sure she is.
@biff
Aye.. thank got my brain has a mute button!
She's the One!
(new disposable computer here. can't type on it yet. slow. trying to set it up)
We need to get you some race car driving lessons. Then when you hit the road it will be a piece of cake.
I need to install some software so I need to log off.
This is awesome
Wonderful read. None fully explain who I am but a few has traits of what and the personality I portray.
Fifty shades, if anyone comes back to this blog, have to put my hand up and say I haven't read it. I did read most of the preview, the first 10 percent, on Amazon, and I knew from that I wouldn't enjoy the book, not because of the content but because of the writing style. In fact most of the people who bought it have enjoyed tearing it apart, the author should care, she's laughing all the way to the bank.
As to why women were fascinated, it is, like all books, a chance to vicariously experience something outside your own life. When its topical and you have the option to go out there and try it, at least you have some idea of what to expect.
That's sort of the point of reading, whether the books are about another country, another lifestyle, another way of living altogether. Some are historical, some are topical options, like 50 shades, some are nostalgic love stories, some, like SF, are set in a future we'll not live long enough to see
Reading is the best thing in the world but then I'm deeply prejudiced
She caught the public fancy with a book that was of general interest, and lucky lady. Every writer dreams of that! But I'm glad to know I was right not to struggle on through my irritation
