Hi Jacko , I wanted to reply but clicked on your profile by mistake . Anyway , You are in Malta , there are plenty of viable partners around , some visiting some local .. Wouldn't it better to spend time searching the woman rather than publishing the article ?

Singles sites are just something extra . Don't miss the real world . There are no substitute for the Friends near by .. Perhaps less of this more of that .

I'm sorry but this was a stupid remark, why cant jacko have time to publish that article and look for a suitable woman to satisfy his needs
It could work for you too, instead of posting stupid remarks you could be out there in the lovely city of manchester looking for a lovely woman to satisfy YOUR needs.

Yes I was amused too and not for the first time . You make someone a good partner but you spend a lot of your time entertaining .. I am sure it gives you a lift and pleases you for a short while .. But if the object is to find someone whom appreciates you then you need to spend more on looking and less on entertaining . Nice comments does not fill your heart .. Seek the woman .. and entertain her .. You will never have time to post anything here again .. Connect and end being a single .

That's being a bit optimistic isn't it? Why bother when you've got no chance? grin

They take me for what I am or not at all........what they see is what they get..........................should you spend more time looking, rather than trying to demean everything, you may also have some success.....possiblydunno

jACKO - i ENJOYED THE THREAD!

Whoops (caps lock!)

I think I've seen most of them before but not altogether...and never realised they were all quotes from ther one guy.

I like to look at things from a different angle too........this can often be assisted by 'accidentally' dropping some loose change under the table and then 'groping' around having a good peek!

Sure .. the women put them there .. There is on an internet site where you can find your name on a list . Yours are expected to be put through a mincer ? Pamper them while you can .
