    surely if you are so bothered by someones looks that you start a thread on whether you should stay with them or not, then youre blatantly not attracted to someone.

    What the hell is so wrong with her face shape that is a total turnoff???
    is it potato shaped like the guy from mask?

    Seemingly he looks for faults in people/women, look through his posts and grasp what he is thinking like.

    Like the how to pull girls in 5 easy steps, how shallow could you be?

    This thread has made me think so I'd just like to add my 2p worth. For me money is the least important point for me in the relationship, in fact not having any seems to make our relationship stronger

    I came out of uni with an overdraft to pay off and a poorly paid job. My boyfriend also has debts from uni to pay off. We're both on about £15k now but I was on much less until 3 months ago. We live in a rented house, its shabby but cheap. We were without a fridge and washer for 2 months before we could afford to buy them. There's a million things wrong with the house and we haven't got a lot of spending money, especially because we're saving up a deposit for a house

    But we make the effort to do things together with the little money we have. We bought cheap bikes (£15) from the free ads and go cycling. We bought a second hand tent for a tenner and we're made up with it. We trade in clubcard vouchers for a meal out and a takeaway is a treat. But its something we can do together and we cherish it. And believe me, being without a washer and a fridge for 2 months you really appreciate it when it comes! We bought them together and they're ours. That feels pretty great to us

    For me our quality of life is actually improved because we really fucking appreciate what we have got

    Don't get me wrong, I look forward to being comfortably off one day, and I know we will be. But having money in our relationship is far from being important. Living life together is important, getting through the bad times and making good times from what you've got, not what you wish you had

    End. :)

    I totally appreciate thats a different situation altogether (which is why as much as I'd love to get pregnant and have loads of kids right now we're waiting until we've got a bit of money behind us because we can cope being skint but its different when kids are involved)

    However, I still stand by what I said - money isn't everything. And I'd rather what we have now together, than have loads of money but not have the closeness that we do

    I remember Ross Noble put "people who look like cats" into Room 101, so maybe it's Sophie Ellis-Bextor? But I doubt it, because she's seeing someone.

    Let's make this clear from the outset. I don't especially care what you look like, Tinkler. I assume that the person in your AV is you, but I don't give a damn either way. I would far rather judge you by your words and your actions rather than appearance. But let's turn this question on its head. What does this girl think about your face? Have you asked her about this? And what would happen if you got a, shall we say, unfavourable response from her? Would that mean she'd be getting a ticket to Dumpsville or what?

    Possibly true, possibly false, I couldn't say. But either way, what's wrong with asking about someone's musical tastes before mentioning questions about education and work?
    1. That's already come up 3-4 times on this thread and I've already responded. Its irrelevant - maybe she likes how I look. Maybe she doesn't think I look great but still happy enough to happily go out with me. That is completely irrelevant to what my thoughts are and resultantly if I'm happy to go out with her or not.

    2. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it? Just highlighting a contrasting culture.

    You're right here. There's people as / much more successful than I am but if they had a privileged upbringing / have always been used to this sort of environment, they somewhat take it for granted and therefore come across rather humble/modest about it. Then you get "new money" people like me - from poor or modest upbringing, maybe bullied at school, and through their own initiative have been granted opportunities which would be a dream to their peers from back home. Therefore its natural to be quite proud and showy about it. I was extremely so when getting a top graduate job, and am slowly quietening down as I take it more for granted, give it a couple of years I'll be in line with people to whom what I've achieved is not a big deal perhaps.

    She is from an ethnic group where people's heads are typically much rounder / spherical than caucasians with a more chiselled jawline, so the face looks a bit like a balloon / sphere with the eyes / nose / mouth somewhat stretched.

    Apprentice Lee parades the 'gorgeous and ambitious' girlfriend who inspired him to victory

    Apprentice winner Lee McQueen has paid tribute to his 'inspiration' - long-term girlfriend Nicola Jellyman - after landing his dream job with Sir Alan Sugar.

    The former salesman, who last week clinched the £100,000-a-year position from fellow finalist Claire Young, credits his victory to the blonde company director.

    The 30-year-old says: 'She's been a huge inspiration to me. She's fantastic at what she does and she's drop-dead gorgeous - she's got it all!

    The pair began dating more than nine years ago after he was drawn in by her determination for success.

    He adds: 'She was really driven and ambitious and that was massively attractive to me. I could tell she was going places and I wanted to be part of it.'


    The couple currently live together in a £500,000 home in Princes Risborough, Bucks, and Lee admits being apart from her during the show was his most difficult challenge.

    What a beautiful couple. I'm glad my mindset is in line with someone so successful and ambitious.

    What? You both lie about your achievements? "Began dating more than 9 years ago" might be a bit of a clue as to how wrong that statement is. Funny, I didn't see her being used as a bit of arm candy in order to enhance his sales at any point.

    Aye, sounds about right. :)

    I know I changed my attitude a bit when I was earning big bucks when very young and moved to London, but quite quickly grew out of it. I'm from a very working class family, was bullied at school, and then suddenly I was earning more at 21 (bearing in mind I left school at 16/17 with nothing but GCSEs) than my dad did when he was director of a small company (not his own so he didn't set his pay).

    In the long run, the change in attitude was partially for the better (I gained more confidence in myself, which was great once I settled down a bit), but had it's downfalls (some of my friends back home who were happy plodding along didn't like the newfound confidence) of which I was quickly made aware. It's all cool now, although as our lives are so different, we're simply not in touch anywhere near as much as before. Just part of growing up as well - people grow apart as their lives change. Straight up, my success with women did in fact go through the roof, which swelled the ego for a short while, but again, I settled down.

    Whatever though, I certainly didn't have this constant need to twitter on about status/success/women on my arm getting me higher standing with colleagues(?!)/etc etc etc as it just wasn't me and my peer group wasn't that type (which I think is the more relevant thing here). Actually, I preferred being single and dating lots of different women. I didn't like turning up to events with a partner in case I liked somebody else there, but again I think I am lucky as I rarely have to bother with any of that large corporate networking bollocks as I work in music/telecoms/media.

    When it comes down to it, I am far from a 'City Boy' type. I love the fact I earn good money, and yet go to work in shorts and t-shirt when the weather is nice, so effectively nobody is the wiser, and I'm not shouty about it in the slightest. I know who I am, don't compare myself to people as I don't need to. People are who they are. They achieve what they achieve and that's nothing to do with me at all. To summarise - it doesn't matter.



    Oh - and referring to the girl: Give it a go. If you're not attracted to somebody, it doesn't matter about her 'success' or who she has been out before. It only comes down to your personal preferences.

    It's all in the nuances. You've said she's attractive but you're not too keen on her face. Then you personally can see she's attractive but you personally don't seem to be attracted to her majorly. Like I can see my mate is fit but personally don't fancy her. Does that make sense...?

    Well he had a bit of a rant at Helen and "fuck you" was in there somewhere...

    He said something a while back about someone called ******** (covered for reasons) and this person is someone i know

    So im guessing hes either been having a faff around facebook and found me, or actually knows this person.

    So i can sorta understand his ego, i mean he escaped the durham area.

    And obviously i guess the rant at helen was editing or censored, shouldnt be saying nasty things like that to such a nice lady.

    Apologies if i was wrong in everything i said, i made assumptions much they way he [tinkler] did.

    Only if you read into it far deeper than you should have. He was titling it by using a well known phrase, most likely for amusement. :yeees:

    If you read his posts, he said she was very attractive, just in a way that was quite right to him...
