    Most of the sites are scams. They have false profiles and pics and lead you on until you pay, then they are gone,

    @wpshark How is your relationship going with your wife?  I'm sorry the intimacy isn't as much as it once was.  On a thread we posted for Sexual Health Week 2020 earlier this year, we shared some websites that specialise in sex aids for disabled people.  Maybe if you take a look it could give you some ideas?  

    Also @gaz1960 and @pieeeter - have you had any luck on the dating scene?

    @gaz1960 Ah that's a shame.  Have you been trying to meet anyone on any dating services?  Hopefully 2021 will be a better year, as 2020 hasn't been the easiest year for meeting new people.

    Profile is out there,but if no one looks at it,for whatever reason,then it's not going to make a difference.

    @gaz1960 Try not to lose heart, although I can understand it being frustrating.  Which dating sites do you use?  Have you tried The Outsiders?

    I did look at the website of the Outsiders,but they only appear to meet and arrange things ,mostly down south, not in the Midlands areas.

    Just goes to show just what is happening, or how delicate online dating,or even as friends,,needed,or acceptable,to even trying to find someone can be,when even just food choices becomes a variable! 
    I,personally, can understand that,i dont eat what is generally classed as foreign food! Im old fashioned! 
    Good old fashioned English pub grub,Sunday lunch,fish and chips ! :) 
    But love a Domino pizza! :)

    Have you chatted in our virtual coffee lounge before?  I think you'd fit right in because we natter about allsorts and play lots of games!  Although its not a dating club, you could make some new friends.  Give it a think :)

    Lol. :)  I love playing games ,that was always my main thing on any,and all forums! (17 years old going on 60+,well in mind only), lol. And yes,best way to make friends online! You  get to find out a persons personality, and sense of humor! And that can lead to friendship! Or more! Yeah right! :/ As if! :/

    I have never done  chatting In "lounges" on sites! Not exactly  "dating" ! 

    Prefer ham and  pineapple myself! ;)

    With wedges! ;) 

    And BBQ sauce! :)

    And i don't drink coffee! Virtual or real! Yuk!

    Once in a pub in Hampton Court I was one of the three guys in the pubs version of Blind Date. I wasn't chosen though.
    That show on television where someone marries someone they hadn't even met. Yes, I'd go along with that, please tell the television people. I'd have to know that the lady was quite a bit younger than me though.

    Then just remembering, that pub in Hampton Court, seem to remember it being over the road from the station. Another place the same side of the station, where they had DSS events. If only I had been on a site like this then- but it was well before the Internet. I would certainly have complained about this Security Guard, the way he treated me, saying about my speech. He totally messed me up with someone.

    Expert advice on dating apps? 

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8856025/Youve-dating-WRONG-Experts-reveal-NOT-youre-trying-partner-app.html


    Obviously the "expert" needs to brush up on what's happening in the "real World " of dating apps for certain sections of the population ? 

    Just my opinion!

    A site where its free to talk on tagged.com   Tonight I have been sending my details to so many ladies there. Like, I always give so many of my details out. That's my choice to risk it. I haven't ever had any really serious problems doing that. A lot of times they want me to go to a site to verify my details, but one thing I never do is put my card number anywhere. I absolutely insist on that. Not sure whether in this country there is a thing about that way of verifying yourself. I tell them that they just need to ring my carer to check on me, but that doesn't seem enough.

     :D Breathing is still a good sign.  How are you finding the lockdown?  If you need any company, you know where we all are so don't be afraid to get involved  :)
