    I'm tempted to put up a profile on POF and see if I get any nasty messages, or any messages! :D

    But I don't want someone I might know, thinking I am cheating on my OH.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    What a charmer! :D

    Best out of that one then. The internet does allow people to be ruder than they would normally be.

    And its people like that that put seeds of doubt in every girls mind they meet, meaning those few guys who are decent and genuine don't get a chance- we all get tarred with the same brush

    Thats very true Scotty!
    In fact you get to the stage where you dont trust someone cos they're so nice!
    Even when you feel like you have nothing, someone else has far less. Find them and help them. You’ll see why.....

    I never joined the free ones. I found if you paid to join then people were more serious about dating. Most paying sites you can't send a message unless your a paying member. I was on a few, Dating Direct, Match.com and Friends Reunited Dating. I found them all really good. I did try Plenty of Fish and cancelled my profile as I had loads of "unacceptable" messages on it that scared me a bit.

    I joined Match no dates and very few messages, I also used another pay site where I saw pof members I had no dates just a few chats but had 2 dates off pof in the same month.

    You need a thick skin online, I have some dodgy messages but I just ignore them I don't let it bother me unless it is funny and makes me laugh as lets face it some are hilarious.

    I had one guy say "I bet you look good naked"
    (This was his opening message)
    I replied "Shame you'll never see me naked..."

    I got thick skinned to the remarks I received.

    So that's another lovely looking woman i've lost out on.
    Good luck Julie and don't let him put his hand up your jumper on your first date.

    Thank you!
    If he does, he'll soon feel the palm of my hand round his face!
