    That's true but as not everybody is looking for a shag monster, it might be counterproductive.

    I suppose you could say the same thing about weight though. By claiming to be slimmer than you are, you risk putting off the genuine chubby chasers.
    I admit to not having any full length pics on my dating site. Mainly as i did not want to attract chubby chasers :eek: I once had a guy ask me if i;d like to eat in front of him whilst he...well yeah. He got blocked swiftly. There was another who asked me if i'd dress up in latex for him. That was another no :eek:

    Men who eat disgustingly, and sometimes even uncouth ways of holding a fork, anything that resembles shovelling, food caught in beards, slurping noises, dribbling, speaking with food in mouth etc.

    Cruelty or meanness of any type to animals - years ago I was going out with a nice enough guy, went to his house for a while and he had a lovely german shepherd dog, which he punched in the nose. I was quite young - looking back I wish Id said or done something as I would now, but I was a it scared. I didnt go out with him again.

    Then theres another ex, who I caught addressing my dogs with the c word one day when he didn't know I was round the corner and could hear him. I was so offended, and confronted him, and he bizarrely said it was a term of endearment.

    Men who have trust issues, keep secrets and let you know theyre keeping secrets, are brick walls, dont really listen, never apologise, put you between themselves and their own mother like a barrier, put you down, disagree with everything you say, furtively watch their ex when wearing mirror sunglasses...I should stop now.

    It could be to be honest, it's almost said as a confirmation they've reached a certain level of friendship. I know people who call their friends this but wouldn't dream of saying it to someone they didn't know. Depends how it was said though and saying it to a dog is a little strange.

    His post is no more ridiculous than some of the others on here. As I said previously though, dating is the one area you can be as prejudice as you want, for now at least.

    Many thanks again

    Why is spelling such a no- no in your posts?

    You also have the problem of auto correct text which changes what you write.

    If your using a full size computer screen and have plenty of time to read what you write it's easy to correct but if your posting on a smart phone and short of time, it's difficult.

    I just corrected what I wrote above because my phone had completely changed it.
