Well, if it's off-topic you want
let me say that I have just seen a middle aged man walking around wearing nothing but sandals and spectacles.

OK, I should qualify this by saying he was in the swimming pool changing room, and I assume he suffers from poor eyesight and athlete's foot, but it still looked a bit bizarre and caused me to chuckle privately.

Marginally on-topic: is it just me or does Creamy Discharge look a bit like James Nesbitt?

is Hot or Not a dating site?! I thought it was just for general lighthearted judgement, bitchery and oneupmanship.

I hate to piss on your bonfire, kid, but those of us complaining didnt put our pictures on a rating site, so I guess we'll leave it up to the masses to decide whom is sad.

I like it when the QOTW descends into a slanging match tinged with viscious hatred. Nothing passes an afternoon like laughing at people slagging others off.

has a point - I'm sure the irony of the situation is not missed on our members.

I preferred the days when it was about the stories that were posted, not the members that were posting them.

The funny thing is
that the people who are now whining about HoN posts on QOTW, if the HoN posts weren't there, would be whining "This is a shit QOTW, rob, I demand that you change it immediately because I have no fucking life and don't know any other websites".

Off-topic
Over the months I've come to the conclusion, Sir Pigeon Nipples, that you shouldn't be complaining about things being off-topic. You should be asking "What's on-topic mean?"

Sir pidgeon nipples
Being that this site has an aroma of anarchy to it, how can you complain when people post off-topic. It's what I love about B3ta the most - the devil-may-care attitude we have to the qotw.

Long live the revolution!

Go to a dating site you bunch of spotty lonely losers.

Leave this page for what it is meant for.

I'd say that was a case in point that we should all be looking 'below the surface' in our rating decisions.

Huh? Huh?

You've not lived until you've stuffed a plumper, or even a BBW.

My particular fantasy is to pork a lady of more than rubenesque proportions whilst she hungrily stuffs donuts down her gullet.

Its getting desperate now, my perversions are so extreme, I fear one day I will only ever be able to get turned on by looking at an oven ready chicken

Would it have been rude to say "Sorry, you're hideous, can I have your friend's number?"

So, just so we've got closure on your story, you didnt shag her?
(Vic Flange, Wed 19 Sep 2007, 12:06, Reply)

Slurp, slurp...
A few years ago whilst Internet dating, I arranged to meet a young lady who had a very glam-looking soft-focus black & white photo on her profile. Can you tell where this is going?

Now, even though those are two of the tricks-of-the trade to make your photo look better, I still expected her to be recognisable at the very least. So the short, wide, bubble-permed person who turned up with a gap as wide as the M4 between her fron teeth was not what I expected. I swear to this day that she'd put up a piccie of a friend instead.

We met in a very crowded cavern bar and I was already thinking "How soon I can get out of here without seeming unduly rude?" At precisely that point, an obviously-new couple sat in the only free space next to us, sitting opposite each other. They proceeded to lean across the table and start snogging the faces off each other, noisily and with much slurping.

Uncomfortable was not the word. Heeeeeellllpppp WAS the word. Closely followed by a swift exit on the pretext of an early start next day.

I went speed dating once...
I arrived at the restaurant on the dot of 7, and it was all over by 7.05.
And that included the post dinner coital activities.

Speed dating
I once went speed dating, the human equivalent of a cattle market. Most of the women seemed nice and normal, though I did meet:

- A woman who talked keenly about the rough pubs in south Birmingham. The large tattoo of a bunch of grapes on her shoulder was a memorable feature.
- A German woman who looked like a pre removal of the Berlin wall champion Olympic shot putter. She could have picked me up and thrown me two postcodes away with ease.
- A woman who could have been a friends mum.
- I got a bollocking off one girl for being 5 seconds late upon resumption of the dating after a visit to the gents during the interval. I didn't even know when we supposed to have restarted.
- A mean looking woman from Coventry who threateningly told me about her karate skills (nearly a black belt).

From the evening I got the following things:

- One 'match' with one of the nicer girls of which nothing came of
- Drunk
- A pen

I've not been speed dating again.

Zzzzzzz
Bored now, I don't slyly log on to b3ta at work to read the QOTW to find a list of links to losers who desperately seek peer approval by adding all this HoN crap. Still I suppose if you have to submit your photo for approval for fellow b3tans then presumably you are pefrect fodder for online dating, in which case you should have lots of stories!!

Some of the stories have been hilarious but all these links are a waste of time, MORE STORIES PEOPLE MORE STORIES!!!! Make me possibly getting fired worthwhile!!

Internet dating profiles
I've dabbled in internet dating and there are two profiles of ladies *coughs* I read that stick in my mind.

One was by a 17 year old girl from Walsall Wood who had a baby, "Cuz therez nuthin else to do around ere iz there? lol". Having been to Walsall Wood, she's probably got a point.

Another one was from a woman in Rugeley who wanted a "Bloke with a skinhead and tattoos. Bit of rough look is the thing I like". Fair enough, but having also had the misfortune to have been to Rugeley, I'm surprised one the local chaps didn't fit the bill. Anyway, I'm not quite what she was looking for:
