...me how my weekend went!

There are a huge percentage of us that work, potentially, every fucking day of the year and I don't need reminding that lots of people get every weekend off.

I know, I know, it's not Thursday but rant now over.

Actually, is it Thursday? Thirteen hour shifts, days and nights, and one day seems much like the rest.

I woke up at half four because its now become cognitive behaviour that I won't hear the alarm. I've have already had two cups of coffee. I start at seven. Rinse and repeat tomorrow. I'm so grumpy, I pity the rest of the staff today, I'll just have to keep my head down and hope I don't get struck off.

Funny, I never have a problem sleeping on my days off and wasting time in bed.

I do feel for you having worked for the last 3 months sometimes just Saturday and some weekends both Saturday and Sunday without a day off in the week. You get guys asking what you up to this weekend as well as how was your weekend, gets rather monotonous so have often copied and pasted messages

I don't ask that question.

To me, that's the same as saying "who did you meet this weekend?" Or "who did you fuck this weekend?"

Which I'm 79% sure that's why that question is asked 99% of the time...especially on here.

I get asked it a lot.

If I've been chatting to them for a while, I don't mind, because if I'm chatting to them, I think the person is sound....so don't mind.

But if it's asked literally straight off the bat then I tend to just change the convo.

I don't work weekends (sorry) and it pisses me off too.

I really want to reply along the lines of 'use your imagination' but I dare say that would go down like a lead balloon with someone who can't come up with something a little more interesting to say. It's fine to ask but when it's all that's said what's the point?

Yeah, I did have a nice weekend.

So with the OP on the sentiment - I do not like being asked as a first conversation how my weekend was - I find it infinitley more appealing if somebody refers to something in my profile as this means he has read it.

I agree. Maybe some women could tell us what they would like in a first message as maintaining a conversation is easy. Starting one and getting a reply is the hard bit

i would say that 90% of people both men and women start there monday mornings at work with a conversation with colleagues about how are you and how was your weekend

think i will continue to ask and if a girl throws a strop over it then maybe she isnt the playmate for me

What sort of response do you get? Considering, of course that you know your work colleagues. At work, when I'm asked, I answer with a 'fine thanks' unless it's a close mate who knows my plans, then I might have a quick chat about it.

I never answer any message that just asks me how I am or what sort of weekend I've had. The answer to both is 'fine'. Hardly a conversation piece. I could always talk about how I was in bed with horrid period pains, or how my bowels are playing up or how I went to tescos for milk. Would that be any good?

I wouldn't throw a strop. I just think it lacks imagination. My profile is in keeping with what I'm looking for, I'm guessing most people write their profile in a similar way, showing what we're looking for. There has to be something in there that you can start a conversation about. Social skills perhaps don't come easy to everyone but for me, 'how was your weekend?' or 'how r u?' doesn't really fill me with any desire to respond. It may be that I've been here too long and am still fighting off the cynicism but it's very easy to press delete when someone doesn't inspire a response. Sorry... life's hard sometimes.

do how would you like people to message you? The polite way of messaging someone new is asking them how they are! If you met a work colleague or a old friend the first thing you ask is how are you. The pleasantries have to come first.

Of course it is... to people you know. I wouldn't walk up to a complete stranger and the first thing out of my mouth would be 'how was your weekend?' To people I know, that may very well be the first thing I said but to a complete stranger I would introduce myself.

I may well be odd though.

Obviously Oscar never found himself in bed with a woman wearing a full suit of armour, much prefer the writings of Douglas Adams myself.

Anyway hun, would you be a babe and meet a 20 year old.

Don't you think it's audacious of people to write messages having only read the first two, and last lines of a profile.

Sorry couldn't resist
