most exciting date in this 70s dateline advert

I'm so depressed

Wkiw Steve at the coast.

Getting some Ted Bundy vibes from ~meet Peter at the theatre~

John eats kebab meat straight off the skewer

bob looks fun but idk about tuesday disco so instead I'm plumping for adrian, the man looks engaged

Seeing John again = John is a blast and/or puts out

Disco with Bob clearly.

Peter least exciting.

I think we all would if we were bold enough.

Steve's jacket totally says "day at the coast"

Adrian so has a Three Stooges of an STD

Bob The Disco

i'd party with Bob tbh

Bob looks a little too fast for me, i'd like a drive down to the coast and a cuddle with Steve

i suspect peter might also be john, cunningly disguised with a side parting

i was gonna go for a day at the coast with steve, but then i noticed his motorcycle, so i assume i'd need to share the bike with him? what if he turned out to be a creep and then i'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no way to get home

i think i'm gonna have to go shopping with adrian but he'd better be paying

the idea of alex mansplaining squash to me is too much to bear

Alex screams "future male-pattern baldness," do not want.

none of these sound very good tbh
in terms of harm reduction i'm going with "day at the coast with steve" because who knows what there is to get up to "at the coast" whereas those other activities sound pretty specific

wtf at this blatant baldophobia in ilx of all places xp

Squash with Alex is definitely the least appealing.

I chose Disco Bob just because I want to see how that hilariously large melon is supported by that scrawny body.

tennis club bbq sounds revolting -- i was about to vote chinese meal with john then i saw "tennis club" and was like no
it's steve. he is the only choice.

wtf at this blatant baldophobia in ilx of all places xp

don't hate the player hate the game

the back of Bob's head more or may not be on fire

Coastal Steve looks like a nice guy. He looks like he'd probably pull a folded up piece of paper out of his pocket and say "This is a poem I wrote, it's just like some thoughts I had about stuff"

coastal steve is the zodiac killer, i'm almost certain of it

wtf at this blatant baldophobia in ilx of all places xp

don't hate the player hate the game

balds are human too :(

cap-C for coast is a real klaxon

(most of the other capping is also wrong but this is "why yes, that *is* my name for the 'place' i'm taking you to")

that poem in full:

i 'd rather be killed by coastal steve than lectured by peter about theater or alex about squash

i mean not really but in this hypothetical universe steve could just be a cool guy who likes to chill at the coast
maybe he is totally fine!

at least you'd be murdered in a scenic location, i guess

maybe i'm coming around to coastal steve after all

maybe he is totally fine!
classic "famous last words"
but still he *could* be totally fine and then i would just have a nice chill day at the coast with steve vs lectures or shaming or worse yet shopping

A world in which this week is the ideal for a woman seems like a world in which it would be really exhausting to be a woman.

it is a chill day at the Coast, that's not the same thing at all

So is John 'hilariously' telling us in the first pic that he doesn't understand what all this foreign muck's about? He's game for it anyway though, what a chap.

dateline's still going btw, and has transitioned into the exciting new world of the information superhighway: http://dateline.co.uk/

every week being a woman is exhausting

john's saying 'o shit i've forgotten my wallet' in pic #1 imo

john looks totally fine in the chinese restaurant pic -- he betrays his true essence when he chooses to attend the tennis club

This is giving off vibes of one of those interactive web games of yesteryear, but instead of getting to shag Arianne you get to decide which serial killer will dismember you.

yeah gotta go with Steve

is the menu actually in hanzi characters? does that make john better or worse?

John is viscerally unpleasant and I'm not sure why the ad's interlocutor was so excited to see him get sauce all over his fingers and tits

which is a worse look for john, the turtleneck sweater and boxy blazer or the polo that accentuates his bust

had to see him again so she could get reimbursed for his half of the chinese meal tbf

probable murder and certain mansplaining to one side for a moment, rank and summarise them purely sartorially (not to say spitefully)

there it is

is that the clothes ranking or does it include faces?

actually, the more i look at bob, the more i'm getting powerful jimmy savile vibes from him

Combination of face and suggested lifestyle/preferences.

xp

Ie Bundy pretended to be this popular, fit guy. Squash my ass. Ramirez was wildest and most stoner looking. Gacy looked like an office clerk, like Peter here etc etc

what i want and need to know is, will alex and john ever learn about each other, perhaps at a racquet-based sports event, and if so how will that go down? they seem like they could be good friends.

She filled the hell out of that coupon

chilled by the ramirez comparison
not off-tm though :(

Sorry LL :-/ Bizarro made me do it.

Wkiw Steve at the coast.

otm

The cocaine hangover is going to make that night at the theater a bear.

steve legit seems like a chill guy

i feel like he worked in an LA studio or something

adrian is a schmuck

Steve - Richard Ramirez

Please point me to a picture of Ramirez that looks this doughy. Closest to Steve maybe Glen Edward Rogers?

well this thread took an interesting turn

A world in which this week is the ideal for a woman seems like a world in which it would be really exhausting to be a woman.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive)

OTM

Bob is definitely too Jimmy Savile for me to want to go anywhere near a disco with him, which is a shame, because Tuesday night is Donuts.

Bob stylin' some Nite Flights era Scott Walker

Getting a major Randy Meisner vibe from Steve.

The 70s must've been awesome.

They were not.

yeah if this selection of man-candy is anything to go by the 70s was an endless procession of nervous interactions with operation yewtree suspects followed by a merciful death administered by coastal steve

pretty sure Monday John is just indicating his preference in breast size

Peter was an Operation Ore suspect #LoveYourImperfections

Wait... "Charlotte deliberately hit a sparrow with a tennis racket"? Is that real????

everything is real, our doom is that we escaped the matrix

I thought going to the theater to meet some peter was something every swinger did on Wednesday nights.

Okay, obv not real. The Mrs Brown's Boys one was convincing to me b/c it's the kind of innocuous shit they do have, but then why would they mention it by name? Basically I've had five hours sleep and I don't usually fall for believing in parodic shit and now I'm over-explaining myself and just making myself look more stupid... fuck.

It is a pic of a real ad campaign on the London Underground, I think.

I might be wrong, but it doesn't look photo-shopped.

oh! well I'm not one of the internet generation, so that one got past me!

Exact same ceiling light reflections in the original Charlotte here

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/apr/11/matchcom-ad-criticised-for-suggesting-red-hair-and-freckles-imperfections

the mentality of people that come up with campaigns like that. Like I'm sure there was some group meeting of creatives, who all thought it was a jolly good idea.

no idea that Charlotte had been shopped because i could entirely believe that an ad agency would run that poster

Dudes be shopping!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I dated a Charlotte like in the joke ad above. Wouldn't do it again, I'll tell you that.

I think Alex looks nicest, but the squash thing makes me think he has some type A competitive occupation - like a lawyer or investment banker - and while he might have interesting things to say about his job, he's probably a dick and relatively amoral because he's focused on winning.

Adrian is totally gonna cheat, probably with both women and men.

Bob is obviously a paedo

Steve is sweet, but not that bright, and has a violent temper when he has too much to drink, which is often, which is why he likes to go up the coast, because it allows him to clear his head and avoid his "mates" with whom he gets drunk down the pub almost every night

John is totally an asshole, and has traditional views of women, and will definitely belittle and humiliate you in public

Peter has a domineering mother, and is very stiff, except when you want him to be ... and he will make it out to be totally your fault that he cannot sexually perform.

So ... I guess I'm going with Alex.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Murder >>>> sexual assault > more sexual assault >>> mansplaining - tedium > more mansplaining - more tedium

"It's going to be an exciting death"

why would you murder Steve you heartless bastard

cap-C Coast, no jury wd convict

steve is john ritter, y/n
