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?

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
