I could not believe what Lorraine said about Mark last night, about how he is such a gentle, sweet and genuine person and any girl that gets him would be so lucky, and that she hopes he meets a nice sweet girl !!!!

OMG - what? so he can three time her like he has on TOWIE, showing no respect or regard for the women. Even his father has said and I quote 'you cannot keep going on like this with women', and he just said 'what can I do the women love me'.

I hope a nice sweet girl does NOT go out with Mark - I hope he gets what he deserves, which IMO is a shark of a woman who spends all his money and leaves him high and dry.

He has genuinely hurt several women on TOWIE alone, so I hope Karma kicks in - but I can see that he will probably win the show, as the reality TV tutoring has really paid off for him.

Swiftfish, are you from Essex with a personal axe to grind? LOL

The girls he attracts had it coming. he is a nice guy and JJ was right.

JJ ? It was Lorraine who said it....

Yes you're so right, girls that get shabbily treated and 2/3 timed have it coming to them - what on earth was I thinking. I totally see your point

BTW which of the girls do you know?

Do you have issues with men Switfish? Did one of them get the better of you?

Although heavily edited IACGMOH is that touch more natural then the scripted and badly acted TOWIE which passes itself off as reality TV but employees ex-Corrie scriptwriters.

Having paid him no atteniton in the past I am surprised how much I like Mark.

LOL - I could not possibly reveal that info!

Lauren, Lucy, Sam all knew what they were getting involved with.

mark is a young man and not ready to settle down. when he does he will be a good husband as he has been brought up well.

Yes, I am an embittered old Miss Haversham type, sitting here rocking back and forth in my faded and torn wedding dress - lol.

I don't consider relationships in terms of 'getting the better of each other', so I don't really get that comment. I think of them in terms of mutual respect, love and honesty. I have not criticized any other male on here for the same reasons, so that is a bit of a leap as to my reasons for having this opinion of Mark.

IMO you think well of Mark because you haven't paid any attention to him in the past.

Oh and by the way - Mark is not all men - thank goodness for me and all the other women out there!

Then don't get engaged and make promises - it hurts people and that shows a lack of character and integrity!

You actually know one of these girls do you? Lauren was with him from the age of 15 so I doubt she expected to be treated so shabbily at that age.
