    I accidently sent a gift to a girl I messaged for the first time last night so now she probably thinks I am a right weirdo. She didn't reply! lol

    Oops , I tend not to either if a gift is sent without any previous messages :rotfl:

    Or don't accept IM either if I have not had any other contact with them.

    But if you log out then check username, you can see their profile without them knowing you even looked.

    Have had a few messages stating 'you checked out my profile, so thought I would say Hi' So thats why I took the signing out route :D
    lol, genius!!

    Does everyone on here who is on POF have a picture on it ?

    Is it me or is that the whole point of it really. First Impressions ?

    I know some folk would be shy about it, but do they/you get messages if you have no pic ? I don't answer messages if no pic (not because I am shallow, well, there is a bit of that too ) because it could be a hairy assed 65 year old posing as a 30 something.

    Edit : actually just thought that they could have a fake pic .... duh !! massive blonde moment ... sorry

    I'm not registered on pof, but scouted it out the other night and some of those pics were really scary... many along the lines of try a sexy pose and look at the camera....

    It's all about the first impression.

    Yeah, I have my standard internet picture on there. :)

    As a guy no girl would reply to me without a picture I am almost certain. That's not to say they reply just because I have a pic though :(

    Argh just reading the bits about drunken humiliation...
    I've done it too!!!!!!!!!!

    I really really liked this bloke. That rarely happens..., very very rarely!!
    He turned up at a party (unexpectedly) where I (and my girlfriends) were smashed, for want of a better word.... damn that pink champage... and I had to get taken home (by my really very handsome best friends big brother who is my hero but not my type...). Needless to say, the guy I liked obv. thought I was not only a drunken bum but had gone off with the other bloke, and has never spoken to me again :o

    But that hasn't really stopped me drinking, I just don't go to as many parties any more I suppose!!

    I'm off to a few do's this weekend (though local music network, so low/no spend) and it'll be the first time I'll have had the chance to meet new people for months...
    wish me luck!!!

    (you guys should come too ther should be plenty to go around *wink wink*;) )
