I've recently started OLD and noticed a few recurring funny things:

  • men posing with fish (why?)
  • "looking for a woman who respects herself " (aka never speaks to other men and wouldn't dare wear a low cut top)
  • fun luvin' guy lkn 4 mre thn jst a 1 nyt stand

It's a minefield!

Anyone else got any?

I got something which roughly read this:

Hi, I love your pictures. I like a curvy girl, size 14+. I love to take her to her favourite places to eat and treat her to her favourite things.

Is the poodle literal or euphemistic? I'd look on Urban Dictionary, but I'm not sure I'd like what I found...

A man put a picture of his late mother on his profile. Just her. Not them together. I thought it was him so asked if he was into cross dressing followed by lots of tear laughing emojis. Thats when he said it was his late mother. I said...ooooh, you look so alike...Smile
