I know I've had a drink though, I've got a can of Natch on the go now - and several more in the fridge, should I fancy drinking them.
The pub was weird this evening.

Chatting to one of the youngsters, they were all on their way to Weston-Super-Mare in their jazzed up cars for some Friday night drive. Apparently they always meet in 'strange' pubs to avoid problems from 'the Feds' (his words).
These modified cars make a lot of noise.

did you ask him what made that pub strange?

The pub has a carpark and isn't the sort of pub used by 'youth'!
But the lad in question did reference 'the Feds' (his mate was saying something about 'da Babylon' - they were all white lads, all about 20 years old and none of them had girls with them).

putting insane body kits on Mondeos and such like. The kind of stuff you'd see in Max Power magazine. I think they mostly did it to get girls and it was astonishingly successful.

But they all had acne and reeked of cheap aftershave, so I'm guessing that they'd met the limit of their nights ambition, bar doing hand-brake turns in a large car-park somewhere.

who likes some similar music to me and is a gamer (but it's GW crap)
Perhaps I should start messaging some other guys, too. You know, one of them's got to be blind/desperate/bored enough to be interested

Maybe, rather than going after a type, you should just be yourself and see who writes to you, rather than you writing to them?

I tend to only get messages from guys in north africa. Or people I don't really want to talk to (usually they seem dull in their profile, or I'm shallow and they're not cute)

that's bringing a lot to the table in any relationship.

Would North Africa be that bad? Think of the holiday and camel owning potential.
I think you should be less picky (about the people), as some people can't write. Look at me, I'm actually more dull in real life than I am here.

Yes, there are lots of words that could be used, but IF and it's only an if, they are concerned that the person they are writing to are a bit 'simple', they might feel the need to explain what they're saying, rather than hoping you can read between the lines.

No, you know what I mean, the chances are, in real life, you'd know they were joking (if indeed what they're saying is funny).
I just think you should give them a break in the initial exchanges, just so you can identify when and where they're joking, so you can establish common ground.
Or is that unresonable?

And my 'experience' of drinking with teachers.... Most of them try and talk to their mates like the talk to their students.
