Like a few on here I done the big flash wedding thing first time around, and though that's what her and her family wanted, I believe it contributed to the break up 10 months later.

Second time round I'd met someone who, though wanting a marriage, never wanted the pomp & ceremony. We had the suit and the dress, but it was the registry office attached to the council buildings where she worked. With all her mates hanging out the windows cheering us on.

Then over to the boozer next door for a swift half, before heading off to our evening venue, the community association club. No charge for members, and the annual membership fee was 15 quid. A full hog roast was the grub supplied (with the vegetarian option of the bun and apple sauce!)

Gave the DJ a full set list of our fave music, and danced the night away with about 100 of our nearest and dearest from all over the country... We all had a blast!

Oh, the rings... She chose what she wanted, the money was there, the wedding cost nothing, and i chose one of those titanium type things, with a large black band around it. Cost me 18 quid and 12 years on, unlike gold, it's hardly marked and still in perfect shape, just like its wearer...

This thread has made me remember the ring collectors that I've known .

The first one is a bloke I work with . He has about a dozen engagement rings in his bedside drawer . All of them came from argos , and the only one that cost more than £25.00 , is the one that his girlfriend lent him £600 to buy . He spent £60.00 on her ring , and blew the rest in the pub.

The second one , was a woman that I met through a dating site , when I was going through my slag phase. This woman was completely nuts , and I met her with the full knowledge that she was bat crap crazy ,BUT , she was absolutely stunning , and i mean stunning !, and was unbelievably up for it . I took her for a meal , and before we'd got through the main course , she was talking about when we get married , and was planning our future together . We went back to her place , and went at it for about four hours , then woke up in the middle of the night , and went at it again , then got up in the morning,  had a delicious breakfast that she cooked, then went at it until lunchtime. On my way home , I bought a new phone , and threw my old one away , and changed dating sites. 

She was so nuts , that I sent a couple of trusted mates her address before I went on the date , and made them promise to come and get me if they hadn't heard from me by the next day.

 

The third one , was another one from a dating site , that had the best false breasts that you've ever seen .

The first date was great. We had a delicious meal , then I spent hours playing with her fantastic falsies .

On the second date . She handed me a piece of paper . It had the names of her 5 previous husbands , when they'd been married , and why she'd had to divorce them all .

We ate the delicious meal that she'd cooked , then spent hours playing with her fantastic falsies , then on the way home in the morning,  I bought a new phone , threw my old one away , and changed dating sites.

Now there's another story.

A year or so after the good lady and myself had got married.  My lads phone packed up . My Mrs said " ill just give him that old one in the drawer "  . She walked into the living room , handed me the phone (with a rather angry look on her face), and said " youll need to delete your fecking filth off the phone" !. I thought I'd deleted everything off this phone , but when I looked , it was full of pics of a much younger , and indecently fit ex girlfriend , and we were doing just about everything you've ever seen in a porn film , or imagined in your mind. I could have fallen through the feckin floor !!!.

I should have just thrown the damned thing in the bin like the others.

Edited to add.

I'm glad that I'm married again , it keeps me out of trouble.

That’s amazing !…..I live for nonsense like that.

Top bombing old chap.

They never had all the phones and dating sites when I was a young man, must be f***ing chaos these days (chaos is a good way ! Lol )

It was all sort of accidental really.

I'd been with my late wife since we were kids , we were very happily married,  and I didn't have the slightest interest in other women. 

One day , myself and a shooting mate , joined a dating site , as a woman ( a really stunning nurse ), to wind up another shooting mate , that was already on the dating site. We arranged to meet him ( as the nurse), but me and my mate were sitting there with big grins .

Anyway.  

Following all the attention I'd had as a stunning nurse . I thought I'd join as a bloke . 

It came as a bit of a surprise to me , just how good I was at talking women into bed , and I must be honest , I made a real pig of myself.  At the same time , I'd started working as a doorman again ( more as a hobby, and i enjoyed a brawl at the time), and it was just unbelievably easy to pick up women , so again , I made a real pig of myself. 

It was a pretty chaotic few years , until I met my current wife . I was working as a doorman , at a nightclub that she was running . We got on like a house on fire from the very first meeting  , but I'd always just assumed that she was married.  It was only after a year or so , that one of the other doorman told me that she was single , and she'd been single for years , as she was right off blokes , and I wouldn't stand a chance of a date with her .  Obviously I took this as a personal challenge,  and won the bet instantly , and the rest is history.

I stopped working the doors when I started dating my wife , as she'd known me for a while , and knew what I used to get up to . She would regularly say " that dick of yours will get you into trouble one day , you dirty dog " , she was right , it got me married .

On the subject of dating sites , it was just so easy to meet women , and I would regularly throw a leg across three or four different women each week , and sometimes four in a weekend , but in all honesty , being in a happy marriage is much much better.

I had to write that last line , just incase my wife ever reads this .

Dont know how long ago you're talking about or questioning your Casanova escapades as we've all been there but surely you must of encountered a good amount of absolute wretches if you was doing it through dating sites !.....its only recently  its become vaguely acceptable for young people to meet through dating or internet sites etc but as a younger man we'd get torn to shreds if your pals knew you was rumping a sort off a dating site as they was always associated with sad cases and ugly fat sweat bags who nobody gave the time of day to in normal life.......unless you're no oil painting yourself of course ?

I threw my leg across them all except one ( she was rough as all hell , and had only been out of prison for a week ). I may have missed the ride of my life , but she was a step too far , even for someone with my notoriously  low standards . I worked my way through , smooch , plenty of fish , and match .com .( match .com was far better quality).

I came to the conclusion that it was better to hate myself for doing it , than look back and regret not doing it .

You know those 18yr olds you turned down when you were 18yrs old , then as a 40year old you look back and realise that she was stunning ?.Well I don't intend being an 80year old , wearing a nappy in a nursing home , looking back at a  stunning 40year old that I'd turned down when I had the chance .

I'm short fat and bald , but once I got into the swing of things , I soon learned that women aren't as superficial as men , and as long as you can say the right things and weren't a complete bell end , you're right in there.

I mounted more than my fair share of monstrous beasts ( and enjoyed every minute of it , and i hope they did tòo) , but I also got to spend many fantastic nights , sharing a bed with beautiful women that were a very long way out of my league .

As I said , I sort of fell onto dating sites accidentally,  but , I soon realised how fantastic they could be. You just need to watch out for nutters and married women( you soon learn to spot them)

One thing I can say with great certainty .  If I die tomorrow,  I've already had two lifetimes worth of sex and beer .

I have been very happily married for nearly 30 years and I think that is no small measure down to making a pig of yourself as a young man, I completely get the attitude of you don’t want to be left wondering.

A piece you miss is a piece you never get.

When you are young and single I believe a bloke should sample the full range of what’s on offer, fat, thin, tall, short, one arm, one leg, you name, fill your boots.

My lad has just turned 16 and as I say to him on our little chats in the truck (as he cringes like f**k ! Lol) “you don’t want to eat steak every day son, sometimes you want a burger” lol 

[TOMO 24,880]

Yep....worked the doors for 27 year ....its a license to print money where picking up women is concerned...

[kanny 19,424]

I worked with a lad who did the dating apps thing ,he was treading something new every weekend but even he admitted they were all broken specimens lol

I was happily married for years , life was fantastic , and I never ever glanced at other women . It was only sometime after I'd lost my wife , and wound my mate up on a dating site , that I sort of fell into it , but feck me , once the Cork had popped , that was it , that genie was never going back in the bottle .

To be honest , being married to someone you care about is much more satisfying all round. It's easy for me to say that though , because both of my marriages have been very happy . I work with married guys that haven't had sex for years , and don't even like their wives.  I certainly couldn't live my life like that . 

For me to be in any kind of relationship,  I have to find the woman interesting.  Being pretty only works for a couple of dates , then it soon wears off. I find a sense of humour , far outweighs looks .

Spot on .

I could never see what women find so attractive about doormen , I just took full advantage of the situation. 

Funny really , because I worked the doors when I was younger , and I never took any notice of the attention that you get.

The only time I really noticed it , was when I worked at gay bars , I really didn't like that sort of attention at all . Apparently I'm a bear .

That's also very true .

At the time I was on the dating sites , I was probably pretty broken myself. Life had given me a bit of a kicking.
