I used to think your posts we ok, some were funny, some were interesting, now you just spout racist sexist shit with more racist shit from that rag you read, tell me do you think its funny or are these actual thoughts that you believe in? Curiously, you seem to have missed this 'sexist shit' from another TB member. I wonder why. "women are fantastic when they are in their twenties, eager to please and itching to get shagged, but at some stage in their thirties their interest in sex is replaced by an interest in finding fault and moaning." Will you be asking him if he thinks "its (sic) funny or are these actual thoughts that he believes in?" Most grown ups would admit to being a dick and saying sorry to the person they were being a dick to, not trying it deflect elsewhere.. dick.

It's actually quite interesting. I remember discussion on the whole dating thing on canalworld at some point but not sure if anyone set up an organised boater dating system. I think they might have done. I met my woman via the Guardian Soulmates dating site in 2009. I have a catastrophic dislike of the Guardian and so does she which is handy. She was date no.21. quite a lot of very boring women or did they just think I was a nutter? I did meet one or two women who were carrying a copy of the said newspaper at the time which was seriously worrying. To be honest, the carrying of a newspaper could be real time saver. Everyone is going to have their own version of this scenario of course, depending on their own political leanings, and this is just my own- but for me, if a date approached me with a copy of the Sun, Mail, or Express on her person, there would be absolutely no possibility of a relationship ever developing between us, and therefore no point in even carrying on with the date. Since 2016 politics has become such an intensely toxic and charged area of life- but also such an important part of a person's character- that I could never see myself in a relationship with one of the 'opposing' side. The differences in worldview have become too great, the arguments too bitter. So the newspaper would have saved both of us a lot of time. There is the other, bigger problem of course- which is that someone would have to agree to go a date with me in the first place....

I was young, free, single, rich, tall, dark(ish) and handsome with loads of money and my own car and boat. Plus or course my sense of humour and job prospects. I suppose the paper thing is quite a good indicator but I would have thought anyone using the guardian dating site would tend to be on the left side of the situation otherwise they wouldn't be using a dating site connected to one of the most well known "centre-left" newspapers in the world. I sometimes wonder if was the only UKIP voter on there

I think the only 'newspaper' I have ever bought is The Telegraph, and that because it's foreign news coverage seemed to be more detailed - or that it at least had some. And I must have bought just a few copies, not as a regular habit or subscription. I discovered The Daily Mail by chance, having got a smartphone just over 5 years ago, and it was something to have a look at 'the headlines' and get some idea as to the latest - I'd never take the articles as Gospel, but they're worth a quick spin through, and I think all the other 'newspapers' just have the same stuff but in a different form. The readers' comments in the Dimwit Mail are 'comedy gold' though, I generally miss the article and go straight to them. Now... if a date approached you down at the marina or towpath... would they be looking for a 72-foot boat or a 40-foot one? Size can matter! "Oh - you read The Express!" "Oh, you have such a small boat!"

I have to make an incredibly awful confession here about the daily express. I had an estranged father until about a year ago when he died. I did see him occasionally but not a regular thing in the last 35 years. Anyway I found out a few years ago that he and his gentry second wife had advertised their house for sale via the Express newspaper. This made me feel physically sick. I just can't believe someone I was related to would do this. It's truly horrible and very much a let-down for me as an individual. And it's such a bullshit article as well! It's definitely the wife who arranged that. I can't believe my old man would do something like that. He was a twat par excellence but surely he would not lower himself that far. I just can't accept that. I suggest anyone of a sensitive disposition doesn't read it because it is gut-wrenchingly naff. And yes it was my old man. Not a made up story. Sadly true. www.express.co.uk/life-style/property/454719/Our-8-000-acre-patch-A-beautiful-Victorian-house-in-the-heart-of-a-forestETA I never lived there the kids were hers from a previous marriage and she owned the house. It's so grim to do a story in the Express like that. Some people have no taste!!!

I have to admit he did quite well plus the fact her dad died with a Β£35m estate is probably quite handy as well.
She's okay actually (I've been paid to say that) but the Express? Please NO!

She's okay actually, but the Express? Please NO! I'm just pissed off it wasn't published in The Sun, they may of included some 'undraped shots' then to help the interest along!

Maybe the guys we think are villains are actually going to do the most good? That kind of thing. But it feels as if its all gotten out of hand. The events and the political climate of the last four years have ramped up the partisan hatreds to levels I don't remember seeing before, not even at the height of Thatcher's madness in the 80s. I used to be very close to my younger brother, but since I found out he was an ardent Brexit supporter (and his reasoning), I just keep finding reasons not to get in touch with him anymore. I still like him, and I can see there is a very good and well-meaning human being in there, but a divide has appeared between us that was never there before 2016.

I think its a real shame that the political divide has become so bitter that people no longer even bother debating or even talking to their opponents, they just go straight level 5 hatred of their opponents. And I'm sure I'm just as guilty of that as the most hardcore UKIP skinhead, I'm very sad to say. Its the kind of intensely charged atmosphere I could imagine might have have existed in the Wiemar Republic. These levels of mutual hatred feel out of place in a modern Western democracy.

Oh dear,oh dear,that really is sad.I can honestly say that beliefs have never ever come(no pun intended)before relationships. I think if a relationship is already long-established then yes- its really sad to see it break up over a political issue- although that has happened to thousands of relationships since 2016. But I think its different when you are meeting for the first, second or maybe third time, and you don't yet have a meaningful emotional bond. At that early stage, at least for me personally, it makes a lot of sense to get an idea of each other's political views, and avoid starting a relationship with someone whose political views are very different. You could form long term relationship with someone from the opposite political camp back in the day, but in the last few years the political divide seems to have become a huge chasm, and both sides have become more bitter and more polarised. When I was younger I could see past political differences, but for whatever reason I find it really difficult these days. But I look at the way this country has suffered over the last 10 years (in my opinion anyway), and I just know I could never have a happy relationship with a woman who voted for that suffering to carry on. We would see the world too differently. And she might be right, and I wrong- but the way things are at the moment I just think we would argue non-stop- it seems like a recipe for disaster, when its far easier to duck out before anyone gets hurt.

There is the other, bigger problem of course- which is that someone would have to agree to go a date with me in the first place.... The problem with newspapers is that they are all politically biased. Even the so called Independent doesn't give a true balance. And then, most readers of newspapers choose one that matches their own political views. So, if they weren't bigots when they first picked up that paper, they inevitably will be a year or two down the line. If people would only buy papers that had an opposing view that would be great. This might give them an understanding of what motivates the view that's opposite to theirs. This might result in them not forming the opinion that those who think differently are morally inferior to them. While it may not change their view, or political position, it would give them a more rounded view, enable them to make political arguments on the basis of knowledge and understanding, rather than simple bigotry.
