Is it only me?

[bittertwistedcute]

If someone can come up with a really good one liner to shoot the next twit down in flames, then please post it here.

I will hold back the "you listen when men speak?" comments ; )
"I've got a wife" = "do you share?" or "mine's hotter than yours" (disclaimer: only funny coming from a woman guys)
"This is not a date" = "Come to think of it you Do remind me of a dried up fruit" or "bugger, my rash has just cleared up and I am ready to go"

Don't take anyone seriously unless they have vital organs you need, or they know your PIN number....

Always carry gladwrap on rides, best thing for burns and it makes for a cute alternative to duct tape when people leak shite out 'their mouths

Ride safe

[Ratti]

gorgeous!
I love the gladwrap idea...I will take some next time and ask him to wrap his mouth cos shit is falling over my bike.
Or a nappy
Or some toilet paper to wipe his mouth after he's finished speaking

or has this happend to other women?

I've been going along on regular rides with a couple of bunches of riders. By far the majority are males of various vintages. Several times I have had the riders pointedly making reference to their wives when it really wasnt part of the conversation. In one case, one of them felt needful to tell me outright that going out riding was in fact 'not a date'

What the fuck? I am riding with these folk because I like riding in a group and need the onroad time to improve my appalling skill level. NOT i repeat NOT to try and hook up with someone.

I was puzzled as to why they would feel the need to do this. Then I was mortified that I may have been doing something that would make them think I was interested in them rather than the riding. Now Im just plain f****n pissed off.

To the point where I am seriously considering not joining in anymore. FFS, I assume they are there to ride, what the hell makes them think they are so f****n attractive that I would be distracted from my desire to ride and overcome with desire for them?

Is it just that my startling resemblance to a old knobbly spud is so marked that they feel the need to say 'gross, I find you unattractive" Again that would come back to them having the unbelievable attitude that they are so attractive that I would fling myself at them. er...not even

Is this a common reaction from males toward us homely females? Can I assume the pretty ones don't get this type of reaction? Or is it just that they can't believe that a mature woman would be so keen on riding that she would actually be keen on riding?

What do you think is going on?
anyway, I feel better for having had a rant. Off to work.

Ok i'm a little lost here. What's the fuss about? It doesn't sound like anyone was hitting on anyone and it doesn't sound like the "not a date " statement had much merit either. So what are we discussing this for again?

[Grubber]

Why is it that when one plonker steps out of line, every other male is tarred with the same brush.

I have been going on group rides for a number of years with both male and female riders. I have mentioned my wife and family during conversation and have never assumed that some pretty face talking to me was in any way interested in me rather than the ride. (except Quazi of course who does have the hots for me.... Hi Carla, how ya doing. Haven't seen you for a while).



It amazes me how the, 'all males are like that' mentality immediately kicks in. I've got news for you.......NO WE ARE NOT.

Sounds like you are a bit lost with all this too big fella!

Can't say I've ever experienced that - but have had trouble with the men accepting that I can ride better than the majority of them, and would be in top 3-4 in our group, on occassion even leading the rides. Some guys just can't handle a chick in front

Those who can't handle the jandal, no longer ride in our group - shows the weaker sex (ha ha he he he)

FFS - I can't bite my tongue on this...
Egos and riding style like yours have NO PLACE on public roads. Nobody cares how 'fast' you think you are. Nobody is impressed by your big-noting. Take your bullshit to the track. That is what tracks are for.

This is definitely a leather rather than a cordura conversation. And the pants are tight.

Truth be told she cant ride for shit. Yes, she can ride fast in a straight line (mmm nothing to do with the bike???), but on the corners all she does is hold us up because she can’t hold a line. Hell, I used to ride past her on the corners two up but now cant be bothered riding with this arrogant destructive person who has such a low self esteem she has to tell the whole world how good she is. Unbelievable!!!!!

Soooo.. well - I'm not sure of the rules here but is us watching 3 chicks and a guy fighting on line a date?

Not that it matters, I just tend to offend everyone at the first meeting, saves time in the long run ;-)

Funny, I ride with those same guys...even in front on occasion these days...they are happy to ride with me (even when I'm in front).

Ratti, just find some new riding mates. The guys up here are great and most men are. The rest are not worth your energy, love.
See you soon!

The Missi's just said lets go out for breakfast. I said ok (yea im a bit weak when she says things like that) And while im out i will ponder wheather i will respond to or ignore this.. (gee hope that dosnt mke me sound weak).

[coffeejunkie]

Excuse me Sinny & Quasi......Is there room on the viewing couch for me? I can bring the good kind of snacks, hehehehehehe

Ratti i do believe this is just one of those times that maybe you should choose another group to ride with......They sound alittle on the "dickhead" side......I am generally the only chick when we ride down this way unless it's a big ride & they are a great bunch but then im the sort of person who tends to put people in their place when they are that disrespectful.....

MSTRS my dear man if i could golden bling then it would be going to you for sure........Your comment was so on the money i had to have a laugh.....first one of the day so thanks for that.....

Crazyhorse you are an IDIOT!!!!! Have you not noticed how it;s only you that blows your own trumpet? Gee i wounder why that is? If you think your that bloody awsum on the road how about doing what MSTRS said.....Take it too the track.....Whats that i hear???? Oh you don't want to cuz you will be showen up for the twat we all know you are?
