To NOT be overwhelmed with desire at this smooth talking?

[Mamaz0n]

Ok, so my facebook is restricted so that unless you are my friend all you can see is my name and profile pic.

My profile pic is one of the few where i think i look ok. (DS took it just as i got out the bath and was applying some make up)
Obviously no flabby bits and wrinkles.

anyway. I got an inbox message from a guy telling me "Ur gawjus babe x"

Now, after looking at it for a minute and translating it i replied with a simple "thank you"

He's not a bad looking fella so i took a look at his profile. he's 22
I am errm, not 22.

Within a flash he comes back with "Oh ok u wana meet up n get to know me x"

Not entirely sure of the etiquette for letting a stranger down via the internet i politely replied "As flattered as i am, I think i'm a little old for you."

to which he came back almost instantly with "Na ur not to old 4 me hun so u wana get to know me then x"

Now i have translated this as - its ok, i don;'t mind the odd granny. so do you want to meet up for some WKD's and a shag?

So, as flattering as it is to have been contacted by this good looking toy boy, I am not entirely floored by his technique.
I am sure if were his age i would be over the moon to have received such attention.

Is this really what dating is like now? a 2 minute conversation via facebook and then off to bed?

Oh God I've never replied to random Facebook messages. It would only encourage them...it's not rude at all Lol!!

I have had similar along with a friend request in my case. What I want to know is how do they find you? I had no friends in common with the guy so do some men just type a name in and look for women or something?

ohh nice one Lady thank you id never heard that one.. laughs.. (actually a bit speachless laughs) but off course OP you now have to go for it if thats what he thinks [grins]

manti - i was encouraged to post it by a fellow Mner. I was expecting a flaming tbh.

Gruff - yes i wondered that too. How did he find me. I do get a lot less now that i have changed my Fb name from my real name and to a NN instead

It's quite simple if you don't want randoms to find you or message you, just change your security settings.

Mine are as high as they will go worral but anyone can message you or request you as a friend. I've no idea how they would have even found my name and pic without just browsing through pages of names.

In the security settings there's an 'opt out of search' option..just tick that and you won't come up. There's also a bit where you can choose 'only friends or friends or friends' can message you.

Just have a play/look through the settings..not just the ones under 'security' but also the ones under 'applications'

Oh and you can also set it to 'no friend requests' or 'only friends of friends' can send requests.

Thanks worral!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore me I'm never going to be 22 again. Damn...
