Shame the twin towers aren't still there. I went up both in 1990. The lifts were horrendously fast and slingshot you up the tower.

Op has sh1t a brick too since I mentioned USA roadtrip. Lol. Don't worry dude, I'm not sad or desperate and craving someone, ANYONE to accompany me lol. Chill.

I don't think OP should be going out with any girls right now. He's reeling from his ex. Allsorts could happen that he's in no place to see through. Someone will get hurt. Or both. If he begins seeing a girl who develops feelings for him and he has to let her down that's something she doesn't need and something he doesn't need weighing him down. Not fair to either. I've only ever wanted to date when I was fully emotionally available to a woman because I've never been the kind of guy to casually date with no intentions of it going further. I don't look for that and it puts me off if a woman does want to date to those ends. I don't think I'll be in any position to date for another year at least. This breakup has almost ruined me and at times I've felt like I was going insane. It's been hard to deal with how disposable I've become. Not just to her, but to 'friends' and family. When I had my ex I felt complete and none of that stuff mattered but when the woman who said she'd never leave me and would always love me, left me and stopped loving me in the space of an hour and sent me a 30k bill.

And how many adverts do you see where the person cooking the dinner, doing the cleaning etc is a woman? The media is full of them. Honestly, I really don't get why some guys seem to feel that women are a threat to your manhood. Historically, we have been a male dominated society for centuries. Men hold most of the best paid, must powerful jobs and positions of influence in almost all areas of life. The religions practised in society are almost entirely male dominated and favour men in various ways. If you look to other parts of the world male domination is even more extreme to the extent that women are practically slaves to the men they are forced to marry. Career, education, don't want kids - forget it. I really don't think us chaps have got anything to moan about in terms of who gets the best deal. And in what past centuries was the world anything like it is now? How many technological breakthroughs are making the globe smaller and more focusing on an individual these days? Ones life is there for all to see and critique. If anything the playing field is leveling out very quickly and aggressively. I think women AND men of these new era look down on mere mortals. Remember the beard phenomenon that took off? You could only rock that along with a nice thick head of hair. Shaved tight at the sides of course with a lovely glossy high comb over. Me? Exempt. Balding with a transparent moustache which merged into blonde then yellow then orange beard. Maybe I'm just bitter as I've been handed a sh1t basket in the looks department lol. I'm seeing it coming out now. I was an 80s kid brought up watching Arnie etc. They were the guys to be. I used to love the fact I could get big easy. That's redundant now. It's skinny jeans and heroin chic. I strongly suspect I'm older than you fella. 48 to be precise so I've seen the same changes as you. Without wanting to make this too personal it sounds as though the issue is your self esteem as an individual, not how society treats men in general. If it's any consolation, I've been dumped more than once and cheated on. Most people have. The important thing is how we react to these setbacks. Pfft get outta this conversation old maaaaan! I'm kidding of course. Although I dare say you're at a comfortable stage/age in life where you are established, married and settled and not fighting tooth and nail at a gunfight when nature armed you with a plastic spoon, looks wise! A degree of my attitude may be my position in life. Watch it you or I'll clout you with my walking stick. Never been married and never wanted kids. In a relationship (until she gets fed up with me.) I have one too. Osteoarthritis in my knees. Lol.

I miss my cats. One got run down the week my ex binned me and she kept the other.

What made you go with a turbo set up? I'm open to new ideas here, I just see the complete vortech kit is probably the most readily available and easiest way of doing things. The fact that I paid only 3500 quid for the kit (2nd hand from abbey motorsports) And the fact that I always planned to go forged internals and big power. S/C dropped in and left at 400 ish hp and you'll be fine. Sort of plug and play. My engine went boom..But turbo kits add more stress to internals. I now have a fully uprated bottom end.

Regarding the products for men... Exactly. Because they now feel they have to! Women's magazines are still popular. But men prefer to browse anonymously online at the equivalent of the women's diet articles. Women, to get thin and be "desireable" simply have to eat less. Exercise is something that a lot of women are only just now embracing. Especially free weights where once you'd NEVER see a woman.. Still, women just mostly diet. A man has to diet AND train, often. But not take it too far.

Yeah I think my ex took that along with the furniture.

@ your massage experience. £65 and it was crap. It was like someone who has a phobia of touching meat and having to rub spices into a bowl of raw chicken. I'm sure I heard her faintly mask a gag a few times too. 60 mins of a 90 min massage and she said "right you're done" and ran out of the room. Neither of them were anywhere to be seen in the reception either when I left.

My generation and younger have unfortunately made it real life. Media driven, yes. But for them/us it IS real life. Maybe not so much my generation but it's creeping in. I've been going to the gym 15 years and I've seen a MASSIVE shift in the kind of people who use them. Many, many more women. And now, much younger women and men. And also, the kind of exercises girls do. Squats. And lots of them. For obvious reasons. People could once get away with being average. They weren't all over public media then. Now though you have twitter and snap chat one-upmanship so it's edged over into 'real life'. The thing is though, women are no longer told to be stick thin. Women are embracing their curves and "ass". And it's just fine. They're in demand regardless. Women can do many things to mask 'imperfections' too. As men, we have to be "pretty". Tall, but not too tall. Muscular but not too muscular (as you said) with full head of stylish hair. Fashionable. But not so much as to upstage the girl. Be funny, strong but soft, earn good money, and so on and so on. Generally a man just wants a plain to fairly attractive, kind and approachable woman who will give him the time of day. It really is very one sided these days.

Also, regarding offending women. I find society very highly charged towards the empowering of women and the demasculinization of men. And casually so. How many adverts do you see where the husband is a bumbling idiot and the wife is the glue that binds the family together and keeps it from falling apart and casually corrects the husbands mistakes, unbeknown to him, so the poor dolt can live under the delusion that "he da man". There are adverts where two women are browsing mens profiles, casually swiping past them. Then they pause at one. He's an average looking guy. They look at each other and burst out laughing then pull a disgusted face. They keep swiping and come across an adonis and smile gleefully at each other. Then you have the diet coke adverts.... With programmes like Geordie Shore and other similar programmes, men have piled into gyms knowing they'll get nowhere with a woman unless they match what women see on tv. On the other hand women can skip the gym and just wear lots of makeup, fake lashes, hair extensions, plastic surgery. It's not fair. I'm a single man of 35, I'm not very good looking and I'm going bald. As far as modern society is concerned, I'm on the scrap heap. And it's generated and promulgated by women. I tried online dating and other than to tell me to "go away" (I'm using polite term there) I never got a single reply. Again, we're at the mercy of women in that regard. So if we're a bit sour towards women about being discarded with about as much thought as one would give to discarding a used tissue, then blasted by media for being not what women want and indeed expect, you'll have to forgive me/us. I'm off to the gym and a hair replacement clinic. Caio.

Turbo 430hp. I find brakes and suspension more than adequate at these power levels. I don't know about supercharged but turbo is a whole lot of fun. Transforms the car.

You're forcing it. It'll backfire. The last thing on my mind was boozing and still is. Don't be one of those guys who just needs someone. It's been a few weeks. Be alone for a while! Any woman you interact with, with potentially romantic endeavours, is going to fail hard and reinforce your minds perception that the ex was the only one for you and no other woman can measure up. That said, knowing women are noticing you us good. I'm eye wateringly unattractive so a bit of that would boost me no end lol. I went for a massage the other day and the two women there were arguing (they thought they were out of earshot) who was going to take the hit and massage me lol. Neither of them wanted to haha!

I may be risking full blown misogyny here.. Women who you let go out of a side street or out of anywhere really and you can see their mouths going ten to the dozen and the animated exp<b></b>ressions as they chat to their mate and they're usually in a fiat 500 and.... Not thank you for letting them go.

Lol, I'm from Manchester. As in, you dissin mah place yeah blud. Could be worse..Brian McFadden just moved from Australia to Rochdale!!!

An old friend of mine was with his gf for a long time. They eventually married and she eventually filed for divorce. She got the house, the kids, the car. The lot. A few years later he got a huge bill and fine from child support asking him to pay up for all the years he didn't pay. Only he had paid her. Cash in hand. She told CSA he hadn't paid a penny. And of course there were no transactions recorded as it was cash in hand. Poor guy ended up in a council flat barely being able to afford to eat.

U WOT M9?!

U wot m8?

Have good day of birth from mother Russia. Nostrovia!

Those Vauxhalls really are nice Don't mock. That bad boy could have a sick C20LET in it. Probably not though

But would you drive it? You bet! I'd be getting air over council estate speed humps!

There was this one for 8kk. Only minor damage If I owned one there's no way I'd ever sell it.

10kk in 2016 Lol you post that like it's an autotrader or pistonheads ad like, "Look, see, you can buy them!" 9.5 mil. And the fact that it made an article in Autocar indicates the rarity.
