Is there a trend for this kinda thing?

What kinda things would turn you off wanting to date someone?
Deal Breakers...
List 5 of them?
I wonder if there are commonalities in it...

Myself - not really thinking to hard about it - - these are the sorta things that would surely put me off wanting to date/see someone...

Someone who is/has:
1. Terrible B.O
2. Blindly, Overtly Ignorant
3. Majorly Argumentative
4. Pessimistic
5. A real, 'off the chart', 'out-there' nutcase - Literally, insane

You don't know who it will be, but still - compliment the next person who posts in here.
Compliments are nice.
Maybe jump in if the compliment especially describes you?

The next person is very smart, and admirable.

The Mentalist is my favourite show. By far.

Solving the crime isn't so much what I watch it for though, I think I like it because wondering how they (or Jane) will get the killer is always interesting. Even if we can work it out along with him, obviously he can't just go and slap the cuffs on based on what he's simply seen and perceived very well -
There's always some level of tomfoolery, or a gambit, which makes it both riveting and often hilarious.

The characters too, the general CBI team are all likeable and have some genuine personality that makes you want to root for them, unlike a lot of shows.

But the main thing I love is that I can go back and watch any episode and enjoy it.
I think it's because it is well broken up - a lot of the episodes focus on one singular case rather than constantly following Jane's obsession with Red John, which keeps it fresh.
And then, when they decide to pursue Red John some more you have to ponder again and wonder how Jane will overcome whatever hurdle he faces, with the team behind him (or not) -

It's bloody awesome.

And finally, what I also love about this outstanding show is that it doesn't fall where many other shows do.
It has kept its continuity, it still makes sense, there are no gaping plot holes even 6 seasons in. The writer's haven't dropped the ball on it, and that's what makes it stand out. I would have expected some plot error by now in most shows, but you watch this show from first season to last and you will find it is still correct within its story.

So yeah - The Mentalist - 10/10 - WATCH IT!!!

A good action film is always worth a viewing.
Most of the time it's just some mindless escapism, in which, you can watch stuff explode or people get shot or people getting chased etc.

Stuff that doesn't happen in normal life, being performed by cool people, with awesome set-pieces.
If I had to stick 5 favourites up they'd probably be something like:

The Rock
Kiss of the Dragon
Machete (And its sequel)
Avengers Assemble
Con Air

Are you into this sorta stuff too? Have you seen these up here?

Simple premise:

The last word of the previous poster's sentence is used to make another sentence.
You use the letters from that last word to make the sentence...

The sentence can be anything:
Creative. Sexy. Witty. Daft. Datingish. Nonsensical. Funny. Daft. Cool yadda yadda...

---

E.G
Sentence 1:
I am a cat

Sentence 2: - Uses the letters from CAT (The last word)
Can Attack Turtles

Sentence 3: - Uses the letters from Turtles (The last word of the last answer) - Can you see?
They Use Rubbish To Leak Explicit Shows

---
See, each sentence's words use the letters from the last word of the last post...

If you get this, it's quite simple:
Carry on the game from this sentence - (The word FORUM used to make a sentence) - Easy eh?

As in:

This place is a FORUM ---

Here's a topic I guess...

What're you scared of - irrationally?

I know a number of people who would rather gargle lava than see a spider.
And one or two have some odd fears...

Especially Ellen, who is scared of salad. No, seriously. She is scared of anything salad based. Like lettuce etc... ---

You?

Ouch!!!

I do have some sophisticated, crude, offensive, smart, long, cunning jokes -

However, at work - my usual jokes have to be a bit more grounded:
As a result I've developed a knack for telling jokes that only an imbecile would like - yet everyone does laugh at them - as in a 'I'm going to punch you for telling such a crap joke' laugh - sorta way

Such as:
I was having a joke at a box of washing powder the other day, and somehow the bleeder took offence.
He took it Persilly.

Or

I was chatting with a colleague the other day about another colleague, who for some daft reason, order 640 boxes of Cravendale Milk - The crux of the conversation ended with my conclusion of the matter in which I made the following remark about this colleague:
"How Dairy"

or

Cops were on the scene at a Pizza Hut in Heanor in which a body had been found covered in cheese, tomato, mushroom, ham and peppers.
A media representative for the district police claimed that the man had topped himself.

I know it's a load of shite - but hey-ho -
A sense of humour's meant to be good, right?

If you want to know any of my better jokes, you'll have to let me know - *expects 0 replies*

I'm not quite sure what to expect from a dating website.

If I'm honest, I have quite a packed life - but unfortunately little of my packed life involves love or some kind of close relationship, which if you don't have, it seems these days makes you some kinda leper in which folks suggest stuff, or at least look at you funny.

Oddest thing? I don't reckon I'm a proper ugly bloke or anything, and I doubt I'm insecure or have any dodgy neurosis' that would make folks run seventy miles. Which baffles me as to why I am on this website in the first place.

My guess:
Time and opportunity - -

My job eats a lot of it.
Never mind the job - It's also family time (I have a big family, and also am a big family man, even though I don't have one I have made of my own, yet)
Also there are friends who I care about who I am at liberty to socialise with and spend hours with, which is usually one of my favourite past-times

As a result, if I'm to arrange any sort of time or opportunity with someone I might like to spend some 'intimate' or at least, time 'getting to know somebody who might actually care and have feelings for me - as I develop likewise towards her' then - well - there's not a lot of that.

I'm not shy, and as much as I am articulate and intellectual (as this essay might suggest) I am also a fun and easy-going sorta youth - a man who is grounded, down-to-earth and also a frigging pleasure seeker - if that makes sense. Someone who likes to think he is a 'good man' - a person with other's interests at heart -

Perhaps my own analysis of myself is deluded and wrong - I hope to God not - and maybe most women would think - who the **** is this loser, nonsense twat I am seeing here -

Maybe everybody's right?

But hey-ho this is my introductory statement on this forum, in which I will boil down to a simple fourteen-word sentence:

I am looking for someone to share awesome times with, if she wants to...
