So he e-mails me as an opening salvo:

Galaxy or Dairy Milk

Red or white wine

Corrie or Eastenders

and I am tempted to e-mail him back:

Aristotle or Plato

Ibsen or Brecht

Nadezhda Krupskaya or Rosa Luxembourg

Can't think why I'm single....

Honestly I've never come across one of those nutters before

I know it's terribly norty of me, but I found it absolutely hilariously entertaining.

It wasn't all in the same post - I kept sending back non-committal answers like? "Really?" "Sounds painful" etc., but he ploughed on.

I suppose I'm going to have to blacklist him aren't I? But it was just so entertaining!

'I want to lick your fanny' is pretty forward.

FisticuffsBartholomew · 18/03/2011 18:09

Writhing around on his tongue, please.

Get it right! Grin

Am almost weeping at the idea that it is a double bluff by a nobel prize winner Grin

Question is, can he still tell you who Chelsea beat in every league game, while you're on his tongue?

Bet he can't.

Fail.

I have never writhed in my life.

Oh god I would just actually die. My mates used to get the odd cock shot sent to them (don't ask) and I always just though 'noooooooooooo!'

I think I'm uptight.

Willies are not very pretty though?

To be fair, there are intelligent men on dating websites and not every man who can't spell is thick.

However, OP, from the sounds of it, this one isn't the former and is also delusional. I mean 8 inches...yeah right Grin

I didn't say that it was impossible to meet intelligent men on dating sites, just virtually impossible Grin

And not because they're not on there, I totally agree they are (though picking your site probably helps), it's just that every fucker has "Very intelligent" on their profile, so you have to read a hell of a lot of them if you're using that as a factor to sift through.

I did get some very random stuff sent to me on dating sites back in the day. Also went on a couple of dates with someone who was at great pains to assure me that his penis was just lovely and I would thoroughly enjoy myself if I would in fact sleep with him Grin (Oddly enough, I didn't, and didn't see him again either)

I met DH on a dating website (okcupid, good for nerdy types, or it was back in the day. May now be different..) Dating nerdy types has its own pitfalls, but they generally can spell.

I also wrote something about basic command of the English language being a requirement of getting to know me, in my profile. (And probably wrote something wanky like "Decent grasp of French and Hindi also a plus" - it did weed out the easily intimidated).

I was VERY picky and met 2 or 3 really really nice guys, a couple of tossers. Had some fab sex and then married the best of 'em. Grin

Gosh I think that's my first Friday night overshare... oops!

This is so funny am almost tempted to join dating site just to see if could lassoe (cripes have I speled that write Wink) a tongue writher myself

IWantToBeAFairyWhenIGrowUp · 19/03/2011 08:59

I met my DP on a dating website - he's a computer buff (so geeky and can spell). We've been together years and have a DD now. I only met him of all the 'offers' I got.

I have to say I was a bit Shock at the writhing around on my tongue comment Blush.

OP are you going to meet him?

passmyglassplease · 19/03/2011 09:30

I to met my DP on a dating website and I must admit I still cringe when he writes email or txt, as his grammar or, rather lack of it is not his most attractive feature!

Having said that, when I saw his photo I decided to give it a go Wink

And reader, have no regrets, what he lacks in grammar he makes up for in personality, kindness and generosity.

Let us know OP how it went,

PMG waves to hatesponge and ninah, lol we are all still here then! Grin

PMSL at this.

To add another arrow to your bow, it's bated breath not baited.
