He's contacted me on an online dating profile twice now. I've reported him once a few weeks ago and nothing has happened with his account.

Firstly its clearly against the t&c of the app to use for selling yourself, secondly I don't need to pay for it and its pretty insulting. He may have a good body, but the face is very average.

No I don't think the police would be interested unless he's pestering you/using vile or threatening language etc.

Is there no facility to block him?

catfordbetty · 03/11/2015 22:06

But in all seriousness is this something 101 would deal with?

Yes, of course. Insulting behaviour is against the law. Please phone.

Which app?

HirplesWithHaggis · 03/11/2015 22:07

In all seriousness, the police wouldn't be interested, he's not committing any criminal offence.

Well, not in the UK, anyway.

I think you'd need to cut and paste his messages before I'd be able to give further advice.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 03/11/2015 22:14

can you describe the face. Perhaps by equating him to a celebrity or what vegetable he most looks like?

Grin

My guess would be turnip.

chibrowoo · 03/11/2015 22:14

OK thanks, he's not being threatening but I did think it was an offense to try to tout for unsolistated business. Anyway I'll leave it. Thanks mumsnet.

Why do you want to waste police time? Confused

MrsBertMacklin · 03/11/2015 22:16

Shit I feel guilty now I thought this was a windup thread. Sorry, OP.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 03/11/2015 22:17

How's he wording it?!

Quiero · 03/11/2015 22:18

How much does he charge?

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 03/11/2015 22:18

I've been gagging to ask that.

YakTriangle · 03/11/2015 22:21

Report it to the site rather than the cops.

MadeMan · 03/11/2015 22:22

"He may have a good body, but the face is very average."

There's a very well used phrase about not looking at the mantlepiece when poking the fire.

HirplesWithHaggis · 03/11/2015 22:22

OP, were he standing on a street corner looking for business, he'd be liable to be done for soliciting in a public place. Weirdly, for the purposes of prostitution, the www isn't a "public place".

If he's straight, and won't go "gay for pay", he'll be getting no business, hence contacting people when he shouldn't. Can you block him in some way?

This thread has just had me snorting so much DH has just looked up from his iPad to ask what's up.

I got completely Confused & thought you meant Room 101 Blush

I'm going for an early prediction that this one will end up in classics.

MrsBertMacklin · 03/11/2015 22:35

MadeMan I'm having that phrase, lovely.

I need to refresh my memory on the difference between soliciting and prostitution.

ChiefInspectorBarnaby · 03/11/2015 22:36

If his face was above average would you accept his offer?

nameinlights · 03/11/2015 22:36

This thread made me giggle and nearly woke up my dd sleeping next to me!

PinkSquash · 03/11/2015 22:38

How much is he charging?

Redglitter · 03/11/2015 22:41

I wish there was a bang your head off a wall emoticon on here. The things people want to report to the police are just ridiculous

fastdaytears · 03/11/2015 22:41

Please, please ring 101. Though you will have to show them a screenshot of his average face.

So if his face and body were on a par you'd be fine with this?

I doubt he'll be on the site long as he'll have c&p this message to everyone.
