    Ha ha- I know, what's with all the deeply unattractive guys in their late forties messaging us?!

    I get emails saying "John47UK would like to meet you" and you look on their profile, and see some overweight, balding man looking like a murder suspect; and I think "yes, I bloody bet he wants to meet me!" :rotfl:

    Exactly :D:rotfl:

    Oh right- DUR! Yes, I suppose it could be- but how much worse could it be than my last boyfriend who, was not only messaging women online, but placing gay sex adverts offering his 'services'! :eek:
    I think he was just as shocked however when he found out that "Dan from Coventry" who replied to his advert, was in fact me...

    Surely, I've had the worst now!? :rotfl:

    Just do what I did on POF, put a footnote on the bottom of your profile stipulating what you arent interested in. One of mine includes:-

    Married men
    Men over 40
    "cuddly" or oversized men
    men who write in text speak

    It seems to work for me

    Oh my profile already says in it;
    "anyone that does 'txt spk' please don't contact me, contact your local adult learning facility instead"...

    Doesn't seem to put them off though...:mad:

    I thought about putting something like that but I personally find it a bit offputting when guys have a list of 'don't like's' so it might put potential's off??

    Sand by for a load of cut and paste to 1000s messages on POF.
    Was checking half hour ago and seems their 'who viewed me' feature has gone pay only.
    So i think some guys will C+P general messages just to let them know they have seen their profile.
    Hi there! We’ve had to remove your signature. It was so good we removed it because we cannot think of one so good as you had and need to protect others from seeing such a great signature.
