I know I’ve been happy to usurp a big role in keeping the forum ticking along with decent threads over the years but to be looking at the General Chat board and see it filled with threads which are mostly mine is very concerning. Where are the creative, interesting threads from other posters at?

TBF I was a tall & sexy bugger but quite quiet and shy as a kid/early teen (if you can believe that). Then my family descended further into chaos and for whatever reason I became a cocky, elitist little arsehole in response. Objectively I was ****ing horrible but it worked out much better socially . Confidence is key, I guess.

Luckily I am NONE of those things now .

Luckily, ey? I bet the ladies were more fond of you when you weren’t being a cocky so-and-so. Nice guys don’t necessarily finish last at all. It’s just about the initial stage of getting laid in the first place as a young adult that the lines can be blurred but long-term someone who’s confident in themselves but quietly so is more of a catch than some Jack-the-lad whose entire personality is football, football, football, more footie and having a high body-count but without hesitating to slag-shame girls with half that count.
