Horses.
Don't trust them, not for one second. Most (if not all) have this look in their eyes. The look of mistrust and trouble.
Be on your guard, and remember Superman.

you will allways come 2nd to the horse ... Fact
After being in a relationship with someone and having horses myself this is FACT!
No chance. My gf has 5 horses. That meant for starters we had to buy a house with land (6 acres) which obviously cost a lot more than a house without land.
The stabling then cost £30,000 to build, fencing the fields was another £10,000.
She spends hundreds of pounds each year on rugs. Horse food is about £5,000 per annum. The farrier is every 6 weeks and costs £100 from memory so almost another £1000 per annum there.
Horse insurance is few hundred quid per year. Saddles she owns can be up to £700 each.
Luckily she is a vet so veterinary bills are cheap (with the exception of one of the horses kicked another horses face in the other year and she had to go to Liverpool for face reconstruction surgery. Luckily she got "vets rates" and the bill was a third off and only cost £1600
)She used to have horse trailers which cost £3500 a time which also meant she needed a 4x4 to pull it. She has last year swapped that for a horsebox which cost £27,000...............
This years project is to build a menage at the cost of £20,000.
And I will spend about £500 a year on my computer and she thinks that is a waste of money...............
When I first met her she had one horse in livery at stables somewhere else but even that cost her £40 per week as DIY livery so that was £2000 a year plus food plus clothing plus tack plus farrier plus insurance plus vets bills etc.
Seriously, even having one horse is £3000 to £5000 per year to own. So people who own horses (especially more than one) are either rich or very poor (poor because they would be several thousand of pounds better off if they didn't own one). I used to joke when we bought our first house together that our mortgage was less per month than what her horse cost but that was true.
I would suspect that even on this forum the amount of people who spend £3000 to £5000 per annum on their pc are few and far between. I would struggle speccing a £5000 pc even with gtx590's in SLI.

Show her that and the only thing you’ll get to ride is the bus home.

I had 7k worth of vet bills in 6 months and one included a trip to liverpool. Im so glad those days are over
More "useful" horse facts for you
Horses are one of a handful of animals which can't vomit. That's why they are subject to colic (you will hear this word a lot if you start seeing this girl as in "can't come out tonight, Flopsy has got colic and I need to stay with her"
A foal is any horse under one year old
A Yearling is a horse aged between one and two
A Colt is a male horse under 4
A Filly is a female horse under 4
A Mare is a female horse aged 4 or over
A Stallion is a non castrated male horse aged 4 or over
A Gelding is a castrated male horse of any age
A Pony is any horse 14.2 hands or less. If they are bigger than that then it's a horse.
A horse has no muscles in its legs below it's knees.
Horse's teeth continually grow.

If you told her that lot she would exchange you for a horse.
Funnily enough I have no interest in horses and I don't like them (never trust them, they kick and it hurts....a lot) but it's amazing how much horse knowledge I have picked up over 18 years.....
Yep. I agree totally. And they have a lot and I mean a lot of stamina. Do you know how hard it is to ride a horse for a few hours?
Problem is after riding, they never want to ride you on top as they are knackered
You don't find "outrageously" hot girls on dating websites, unless they are utter nut bars. Post pics!
She's hot, trust me (bearing only a passing resemeblence to Ron Jeremy as pictured earlier in the thread). By her own admission she's "ridiculously fussy" as I asked her how a girl as pretty as her living in London hadn't found a decent bloke yet.
I'm going to meet her in a few weeks next time I'm in London, just working the banter via email at the moment, she seems pretty cool so far.
Flattery will get you everywhere . . . .

THIS.
Ask questions.. don't go with information that 'could' be wrong - then you look like a tool
or you look like you have been doing some research ergo - trying too hard = look like a tool.As Ray said... just listen and ask questions, girls like it when boys pay attention
