@Catogrande it is not often a woman says she has low standards in men...
fluffybunny
But I don't know any other way to read "but I figured if I didn’t fancy you, no other woman would either" unless of course ... she has a great sense of humour...
Clearly what she is saying is @Catogrande has the chiseled features of a Greek God, so covering that up with a big ugly beard suited her just fine as other women would be throwing their underwear at him otherwise.
Just seen this.
What he said.

Anyone wondering at the average age of people on the fern need only look at the last few supermarket related posts for their answer.

Young men today have no idea how much courage it took to ask a girl out (In Person) then ring their family home on the landline not knowing if her parents would answer the phone first.
And imagine not being able to message or talk to your girlfriend 100 times a day because neither of you had a phone. You actually like had to talk in person. So weird.

Especially if you had to fork out for 2 stamps per envelope.

And the poor person at the photo lab who developed and checked the photo first. Plus the risk of the mum opening the letter first.

Not bad. <insert 'gaaaaay' GIF> -

Is this... flirting? It's been a while, and, I'm out of touch. Also... not gay. Sorry. Nothing against it. Just... no attraction to penii. Barely even my own.
You owe me a lot of stamps

@chimoaus I dont believe that place exists any longer...
haha I have exactly that conversation with TR Jnr about how much 'easier' they have it now (similarly with the 20-somethings about Tinder making thier lives easy) often they follow one another on social media through common friends, nek minut they are 'dating', video calling every day for weeks on end, nek minut, they break up despite not ever meeting...
back in the day, standing in the hallway, with the 5m extension on the phone cord for a bit of privacy, only for your brother to pick up the spare phone and call you a dickhead or something, or a parent pick up saying they needed to use the phone so you had to get off, when you'd only been on it for an hour and ignored all the call waiting beeps....good old days when life was simple.

Cordless phones were such a game changer. Always good to take one in your room so no one could hear.
Siblings were annoying though ( not mine, I’m an only child ) but I was going out with a twin, her sister loved answering and pretending to be her. I wasted a lot of sweet talk on the wrong one and they used to piss themselves about it.
