We've posted about Online Dating a few times before, pictures, messages, dates and the "funny things men say...."
So here's the second batch of weird and crazy messages I get sent by men, reading them all together makes me wonder why on earth I have an online dating profile!!
Guys, if you're reading these and have sent a message similar to these, firstly STOP because your not going to get a date!! Secondly... Thanks - They really made me laugh!!
"How much would you charge for me to buy some of your used underwear?"
I was absolutely gobsmacked by this one... I replied saying that there was no chance I'd sell my used underwear. He replied with "Really? I pay well!". I stopped replying... although I was really intrigued to know how much her would offer!!!
"Beauty with Natural."
This was all I got. Just this sentence. Don't think you can even call it a sentence really. I didn't bother to reply to this one!
"i had to just tell you your eyes are so dreamy theu are beautiful i mean it..."
Everyone loves a bit of flattery.... but grammar is also great. Capital "I" is an important lesson that you learn in primary school. Come on boys!!
"Ready for a serious relationship, willing to try something new."
WOW!! Hello Mr Full on!!! I know it's an online dating site but chill out a little bit!
"Hi/ Hello/ Hiyaz Babezzz/ Hey Sexi/ Hi Honey/ Hi there"
Any form of the use Hello as a singular message is an immediate ignore from me. If I choose to send a message to a guy, I look at his profile and pick something out to message about. Just saying "Hi" is such a poor effort!!!
"I'd crawl through cut glass just to smell one of your farts!"
This one made me howl. I'm sure it's supposed to be a funny/ cheesy chat up line! But mentioning "farts" straight away probably won't work well with all girls!!
"Excuse me I'm lost, I need directions."
You're not lost though are you? You are probably just sat in your bedroom... I know what you're trying to do, you are TRYING to use a cheesy chat up line. Cheesy chat up lines only work in person not online!
Guys.... Just a few tips on sending messages to girls online.
You've seen how not to do it, now here are a few tips on ways to send a good message.
1. Be yourself. Online dating is already a really weird concept, so just be yourself!
2. Don't just say "Hi" put in a bit of effort!!!
3. Don't try to be too funny.... sometimes wit and humour don't come across well typed up!
4. Don't send more than one message if you don't get a reply... "There's plenty more fish on the Internet!"
Happy online dating girls. If you get any crazy messages please do share!!!
Love,
J xx

Tower Of London.
If you have little ones, or just love exploring London and it's history then I suggest you head to the Tower of London.
I visited it this week with my little cousins (aged 5 and 9) and we all absolutely loved it! (I was way more excited than the kids.)
It's quite expensive, but well worth the money. It took us over 5 hours to explore and enjoy the Tower and surrounding grounds (like I said well worth the money).
There was so much to see that if I wrote about it all my post would be mamouth so I've selected a few of my favourtie bits from the day.
The "Beefeater" tour, is brilliant you get lead around by a Yeoman Warder who is full of brilliant facts and stories about the tower. The best thing I learnt all day was that the "Beefeaters" live in the grounds of the Tower. How cool would that be???? My address is... SGW The Tower of London, London!!
Obviously another favourite of mine was the Crown Jewels, I obviously don't have pictures of them but they are AMAZING and shiny and sparkly and glittery and dazzling and blingy!! (okay I'll stop now but I literally have not seen anything like it before - any engagement ring I see from now on will never ever compare!!)
The "Hands on History" section in the White Tower was perfect for kids, my cousins loved being able to FINALLY touch something in the Tower, and even I enjoyed trying out some of the games!
The buildings and grounds are beautiful, I've added a few pictures to show you all how beautiful they are. What I loved the most was that you have this increble old building and just behind it you have the Shard and the London Skyline poking up!!!
A real fun day out for any age, there are a lot of windy staircases in some of the Towers, although the Tower of London does has access facilities.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Best Friends.
I'm also very fortunate to be working on SGW with my Best Friend.She'll hate this for being all soppy but I just felt like today is the perfect day to do this post. You see, tomorrow is the day that T returns to London Town. You might have noticed that our posts have been from London and USA over the past couple of months and that's because T has been on an adventure! She's had a wonderful time and we have missed her dearly and tomorrow she returns and her "London Family" couldn't be more pleased!
It's funny but you don't realise just how much you rely on a person until you don't get to speak to them everyday! T is our advice giver, our straight talker, our makes us howl with laughter best friend and boy, oh boy have we missed her!!
The "London Family" went out for dinner the other week and all agreed that when one person was missing the family just didn't work right, so we will be glad to have her back to complete the jigsaw!
I cannot wait to hear all about her adventures when she gets back to London, I'm sure she'll have some crazy stories to tell us... and we have a few to share with her (brace yourself T)!
So I know this was a soppy post... but it's Valentine's Day and you are supposed to tell the people you love just how much they mean to you! So to my London Family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to be your friend, you are all truly wonderful people!
With Love

Cheesy Chat Up Lines
We've all heard them (and some of us have probably used them a few times too) those awful, toe curling, totally Cheesy Chat Up Lines!
Well this Valentine's Day we are challenging all you Single Girls (and Guys if you're reading) to try one out and see if it works.
That's right we want you to choose a Cheesy Chat Up Line and say it to a total stranger - what's the worst that can happen? We'll be doing it too and tweeting all about it on Valentine's Night. If you want to join in then #cheesychatupline to let us know how you get on!!
Here's a list of SGW favourites that you can choose from (or invent your own, but if you do please share it with us!!!)
1. How much does a Polar Bear weigh? Enough to break the ice!
2. Kiss me if I'm wrong but isn't your name Hubert/ Gretchen? (and then hope that their name isn't Hubert or Gretchen because that would be AWKWARD!)
3. I bet you £10 you're going to turn me down!! (Nobody wants to loose money!!)
4. I'm new to town could I have directions to your house please? (This one absolutely cracks me up!)
5. Nice suit, it'd look good on my bedroom floor!
6. Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk past again?
7. Here's 10p go and call your mum and tell her you won't be home tonight! (Classic line although I am sure it costs more than 10p to make a call now!!)
8. I seem to have lost my number, can I have yours instead?
9. There must be something wrong with my eyes,I just can't take them off you!!
10.Is your father a thief? Because someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
11. If I told you that you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
12. My magic watch/ bag/ necklace tells me that you haven't got any underwear on.... (I have) Oh well it must be an hour fast then!
13. Do you have any raisins? Oh well how about a date then?!
14. Do you want to play a game? Okay pick a number between 1 and 5 (3?) Sorry you lost, you're going to have to take ALL your clothes off!

Why we LOVE Valentine's Day!
We know what you're thinking!
Single Girl World loving the day that is all about loved up couples?! Well, girls it's true... we really do love Valentine's Day!!
We refuse to join the legions of single people who complain and moan about being alone on Valentine's Day... or who claim it's a pointless day.
Here at SGW we have embraced the day and turned it into a Friend-Fest! We have an annual "Get-Together" with all of our single friends (soem of our loved-up friends have even showed up before now!)
Last year we had a good old fashioned girly party (with alcohol thrown in for good measure) yummy food, cakes, party games (think "Dream phone" and "Snog, Marry, Avoid")
SGW doesn't see the point in sulking about being Single on Valentine's Day - you're single for every otther day what makes Valentine's Day so different?
So embrace all the things you LOVE about being single, and celebrate them on Valentine's Day! Celebrate the fact that you have awesome friends and the fact that you don't have to try and "Out-Romance" other couples on the 14th!
Laugh, drink and be Merry.... Girls you know you want too!!!
This year we are putting our glad-rags on and heading out for a night of live music. We plan to use bad chat up lines on boys, my favourite is:
"Are you in pain? It must've hurt like hell falling from heaven!"
Will do a post tomorrow featuring all the best chat up lines to use on boys.... If you have any please send them our way!!
With Love

The GlamGlow Mud Mask Review !
One of my favorite beauty products is a good old face mask! You cannot not beat that completely clean feeling! I have always purchased the mud masks that are suitable for one use and normally go for the peel off type.
So recently on a beauty shopping trip I heard all the girls raving about this new Super mud mask called GlamGlow.
So of course I had to give it a go !
I was lucky enough to get a sample at Sephora. I always think its best to try the product before you buy.
The sample provided enough for one full even mask, which was great!
I have quite sensitive skin so the beautician suggested that I left the mask on for 15 minutes max to see how my skin took to it !
The mask was very easy to apply and I'm sure it smells like licorice !! Well it did to me!
As it dried you could visually see it working on my pores as the mask darkened around my problem areas.
After 15 minutes I washed the mask off and my skin looked fresh and clean. It also left my cheeks really soft !
It dried out any spots without irritating them or the surrounding area.
I think it's brilliant that it can be used as a full mask or just to work on certain areas. It would be great to see what it could do over time, after a course of applying it once a week for a month for example.
I really liked this product and would use it again.
The only draw back for me is the price ! At £44.99, it's out of my price range. However, if you can afford it, get a sample first and give it a go!
I've also told the other half of Single Girl World to give it a go ! So she may have a completely different review !

6 Nations Rugby.
It's that time of year again, the 6 Nations Tournament is here and we couldn't be more excited. For any of you out there that aren't too sure what the 6 Nations are then here's your quick down low...
There is men's tournament and a women's tournament as well as an under 21's. (Keep checking the blog for our posts on the players in the women's tournament.)
The 6 Nations is a Rugby Tournament, the format of which is simple each team plays every other team once (they alternate home games every other year!)
The 6 Teams included in the Tournament are: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.
Points are awarded to the teams as follows:
2 points for a win
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
Unlike other tournaments there is NO BONUS point in the 6 Nations,
If a team wins each game this is called a GRAND SLAM (England holds the record for the no. of Grand Slams won.)
The TRIPLE CROWN is played for by the "Home Nations". It's where one team takes victor over the other three.
There are other trophies that are played for between individual teams, and at the end of the tournament the team in last place gets the figurative WOODEN SPOON.
Wales won last year with a GRAND SLAM (their THIRD in the space of 8 years.)
In the game of rugby:
A try is awarded 5 points
A conversion (kicked after a try) is awarded 2 points
and a penalty is awarded 3 points
But who will win this year? Here at SGW we have done a little predicting.... and for the first time EVER we are letting a boy be on the Blog, we are predicting against J's brother to see who gets it right!!!
SGW Predict....
1. Wales to beat Ireland in the dying minutes. (27 - 25)
2. England to beat Scotland (27- 20)
3 France to beat Italy ( 28-10)
J's Brother Predicts....
1. Wales to beat Ireland (25-20)
2. England to beat Scotland in the dying minutes (19-17)
3. France to Beat Italy (22-10)
We hope you enjoy the 6 Nations as much as we do... keep checking back for more on the women's rugby and check out our twitter for tweets about the games and our Man of the Match predictions (and no we aren't just going to pick the hottest one HONEST!!!)
Love
