Dating sites, for the main part are full of vulnerable people looking for someone to help them.

Actually, I think that that is a very outdated, incorrect view of Internet dating.

Thanks

Onesunnymorningin2012 · 01/01/2012 12:47

I met my DH on the internet, and I wasn't vulnerable.

But this 'humour' still stinks to high heaven.

joa386 · 01/01/2012 13:10

Why are you lot still bitching about it? most of it was not even done in pistonheads..........Google some of the images and you will find shit loads of forums talking about this but not so fucking oh i have a default with life SOH LIKE YOU LOT.

EmmaBemma · 01/01/2012 13:16

aw, sweet. I think our little friend has got a bit over-excited.

(ps, thanks JenniferEight!)

EmmaBemma · 01/01/2012 13:18

I think some of the nastiest stuff was done on pistonheads, though, now you mention it - the copy-cat stuff by that "mobsta" with the porn fixation, for example

SuePurblybilt · 01/01/2012 13:25

Oh Joa. Joa, Joa Joa. Goodness but you're getting worked up about this.
Was it the teeny peeny comment? Did that sting?

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 13:33

Who is Joa? I can't understand what she is on about. Has anyone had a go at her?

Onesunnymorningin2012 · 01/01/2012 13:34

joa's reaction is the funniest thing on this thread Grin

SuePurblybilt · 01/01/2012 13:35

'She' appears to have joined just for this thread.

Confused

What does that mean? It's just a load of random words.

tethersend · 01/01/2012 13:37

Oh. Were they words? I thought she sneezed.

the one with the blonde scribbly hair is just marvellous

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 01/01/2012 14:14

Can I just ask in the least argumentative way possible! why do some people think some pictures are okay but not others? (not including the later ones btw - when I laughed, it was at the first page only, I didnt read any further)

I understand if people dont find them funny full stop because they think its bullying/racist/misogynist

I understand if people think they are all funny, whether because they are just so bad or because you shouldnt find them funny.

I dont understand why so many people think the blonde scribbly one is funny but not the rest. If you think the others are bullying, surely you could see that she also could have struggled with her hair for years? I had a friend who in her teens was near suicidal over her "afro" type hair (white btw), that a lot of people were jealous of, and only as an adult has she learnt to accept it...

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 01/01/2012 14:15

(not picking on you particularly pinot btw Wink quite a few people upthread said the same)

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 14:18

I think they are all wrong and awful but that;s about context. Weirdly, I did briefly laugh at that picture. It was only seconds later that I grasped the context of it and how cruel he was being, deliberately.

It would be funny in a totally different context but in this, it's not. It's sick and horrible.

Like, if you saw someone tripping over a pavement in a ridiculous manner, you might WANT to laugh but you knew he had actually really hurt himself so you stopped yourself from doing that, because it would not be funny.

That kind of explains it I think.

Pinot · 01/01/2012 14:22

Dunno Beyond, I flicked through them and that squiggly one made me laugh out loud in an attractive barking fashion. Haven't looked at them in a lot of detail tbh.

Humour is personal though and what I find funny another won't and vice versa.

Vive lá differencé - would be awfully dull if we all copied each other like robots.

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 14:25

Loving your decadent accents there Pinot Grin

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 14:25

If you look in detail you will see the person who drew them and sent them to the women they are of is a complete cunt.

Peachy · 01/01/2012 14:26

I'm with Hecate

If that means a SOH failure so be it. I will save my guffaws for something i find funny and not pretty mean.

Pinot · 01/01/2012 14:31

I know Jen - it's so exciting to get the Angry Alt button to do it's áéíóú thing
