DERBY PICNIC MARKEATON PARK. Derby. SUNDAY MAY 10th, from 2.30 pm. Posted: 5/9/2009 6:00:00 AM
Looking at the pics of people attending, cant see any ladies around my age (70) . Its the new 50s you know. Is it cos if we get down on the grass we cant get up again?? Well I dont mind that Just what I like to see, Golden-not-so-old… someone with a sense of humour and who knows how to laugh about his own circumstances. If it helps fella, although I’m 20 years younger than you, I actually feel at least 70 and will happily rest where I fall on the grass tomorrow. Stuff all that attempting to play bat and ball games, although I don’t mind watching the real energetic folks who like to entertain themselves and bring their own, of course. Mind you, whilst it’s admittedly unfortunate that you can see no lady attendees in your age bracket, don’t let that stop you from joining us. If you fancy the idea, who knows? You might even cop for a younger model. And you know what they say about us guys only being as old as the women we happen to feel at any particular moment. So, following that principle, doesn’t the notion of being younger all over again carry at least a degree of appeal? Jesting aside though. Admittedly, for many, being a member of a dating website brings elements of expectation and hope of romantic encounters with potential suitors. That is after all, why most of us are here. Nevertheless, please don’t write off attending the picnic just because you see no one in your particular age group. In many cases, friendships between people from all walks of life are not age-specific and events open us up to this much broader picture. Therefore, whilst we might attend in view of finding that special someone, for the most part, lots of us will leave having taken the first steps toward forming new social circles with a any number of attendees of various ages, and with whom we find common ground on an initial basis. Make no mistake, attending POF events can be good for the souls of those who seek to restructure their social lives for any number of reasons, perhaps mainly through the lack of confidence associated with previous heartbreak. In all likelihood therefore, you’ll gain far more from attending one of our parties, barbeques, picnics, etc, than you ever possibly could by sitting cyber-chatting to folks through the PC. In essence, events afford every member the opportunity of turning virtual friends in to real flesh and blood people, most of whom you will come to find are very approachable and sociable. Hence, although I could write heaps more regarding the positives associated with making the effort to attend, I’m sure you can already see why I recommend events – particularly those held in Derby – so highly. Well folks, in just over 24-hours from the time I post this (GMT), we’ll all be meeting up at the designated spot mentioned in message No.1. If you’re still wondering whether to join us, please feel entirely free to add your name to the list of attendees. Please, however, do make sure you read all of message No.1 on page one before signing up to or attending tomorrow’s picnic. All being well, we’ll be in for a lovely afternoon spent a good company. Thanks again to those of you having already signed up. Cheers for now.
