Default Festive PM Buddies! CLOSED

It's time for a round of PM buddies over the festive season

What is PM Buddies?

This is a way of getting to know your fellow members a little bit better and to challenge yourself in both communicating regularly with another person, and initiating contact and conversation. Who knows - you might even strike up a new friendship. It might also help people who have joined but feel awkward about posting to get to know others and to feel comfortable about being here whilst sharing a little bit about themselves with someone else.

* Essentially, you're signing up to be randomly paired with another person on the list who you're committing to exchange friendly PMs with over the period of a fortnight.

* I will collect names on this thread over the few weeks (adding all people's names who wish to take part to this original post). The list will close on the 23rd of December 2018 at 10.00pm and then I'll pick names out of a hat to randomly pair people up.

* Immediately following the draw I will announce the pairings and the PM-fest will begin from the 23rd of December 2018 and last until the 6th of January 2019.

* Please make sure that you will be available during the 2 week period selected and that you intend to send PMs, at least every 2 or 3 days. In the past, there have been some people who were paired up and didn't receive any PMs from their partner at all, which does defeat the purpose.

* You have the option of feeding back on this thread, either during or after the PMing, about how you're getting on - but there's no need for this if you don't wish to.

* If you're already really pally with someone else on the list and don't feel that it'd benefit either of you to be paired up, you can PM me with this info, and I will do some rejigging when I'm pulling names out of the hat if need be. Also, if you'd like to be on the list, but don't want to post in this thread, just drop me a PM instead!

Whether you're a newbie, a lurker, a regular poster or anything in between this can be a great way for people to get to know one another.

Hope to see lots of you signing up!

Add me, please. Whenever I've done PM buddies in the past, it's been a great experience.

Hi Tink,

Please put my name down for this.

This should get my demons going and I can put it down as my ‘scary thing for the day’.

Apologies in advance to whoever gets partnered with me.

This may be a good time to highlight rule 1.4:-

Quote:
1.4 Personal messages must not be transmitted to anyone other than the intended recipient, without the express permission of the originator of the PM. Unauthorized replication and/or transmission of PMs, in any form, is strictly forbidden.

Default Re: Festive PM Buddies!

I***8217;m gonna get back into weight training in the new year. I***8217;m lucky I seem to maintain a naturally fairly muscular physique despite not going to the gym for over a year , not sure why but my physique although chubby is fairly muscular when I look in the mirror. Big arms, shoulders, back. I put on muscle easily but also fat. However, most partners like a chubby lad so it doesn***8217;t bother me.
