OLD weirdo

I have to tell someone as I'm so bemused.

I have the Plenty of Fish app on my phone. I'm not currently looking to meet anyone (cba) but the red numbers on my phone screen indicating messages do my head in so occasionally I click on it to get rid of them.

Did it this morning and received a message straight away from a reasonably nice looking guy who looked friendly. So I replied.

Very quickly asked why I wasn't on the site evenings & weekends so I told him I rarely went on the site other than to clear red numbers (true) Asked for my name on Facebook. I told him. But did say it was locked down so he couldn't stalk me 😂
He asked for my married name. My married name is my name but explained I'd been divorced 30+ years and never changed it
He then asked to see a copy of my divorce papers Hmmso I said 1. I was at work 2. I don't know where they are (true) 3. Why did I need to justify myself to some random on the internet and if he didn't believe I was single to jog on. Yes, I know, I was feeding the weirdo

I got back a huge rant (all in capital letters) about how I was a liar, cheating on my husband, probably deleted the app every day so he couldn't find it, on and on he went.
I went to respond and he'd blocked me !!!!!

Oh my god what a psycho. And men wonder why they're single. I keep sniggering to myself. Weirdo.

POF was the site I cancelled straight after making a profile because there were so many weirdos on there. Sorry this happened to you! Guardian Soulmates was good for me.

MrsBethel · 23/05/2019 11:54

Just a guess, but I wonder if this weirdo bloke is on a one man mission to expose cheats to their husbands? Sounds like a complete nutjob.

GinisLife · 23/05/2019 11:59

@MrsBethel he'll spend a lot of wasted time trying to out me then as I have genuinely been divorced 30 years and not been in s relationship since 2010. I am friends with my ex husband on FB but he'd just laugh !!!!

Just a lunatic that has a problem with women, that's what it boils down to. Probably doing the same thing to his partner that he accused you of.
I'd be careful about sharing things like surnames so soon in future though, clearly there are all sorts of nutters about.

MrsBethel · 23/05/2019 12:39

LOL

GinisLife · 23/05/2019 13:06

@TeaForTheWin I wouldn't normally share info but my FB is locked down so he can't see anything if he tries. Madman

But did you send him a card, OP? These are the important questions on MN 😁

CripsSandwiches · 23/05/2019 13:09

I also wonder if he's a MRA using a fake picture and just on a mission to prove to himself/the world that all women are scheming cheats. He'll probably send a similar message to lots of women and jot you all down as vixens who are spending your husband's money while cheating on them with guys you meet online.

SupaNintendoChalmers · 23/05/2019 13:10

He sounds lovely, I hope he finds true love! Confused
POF is only good for one thing, and it's getting great stories about weirdos!!

justanidiotagain · 23/05/2019 13:19

I tried POF and never again. it really does seem to be the place where weirdos go to meet each other. most of the people I spoke to where fake and it was so easy to tell by looking at the photos

iklboo · 23/05/2019 13:25

Maybe POF really stands for Probably Odd Fuckers?

Fucksandflowers · 23/05/2019 13:46

Hm, I met my DH on POF..
I agree this guy sounds like an absolute nut job though!

SupaNintendoChalmers · 23/05/2019 13:51

@Fucksandflowers I met an old partner on there but that was in 2013. I think it's really gone down hill and the success stories like yours are probably much fewer and far between!

Fucksandflowers · 23/05/2019 13:56

Yeah, tbf it was over 10 years ago!
So yes it may well have gone downhill since

crazyasafox · 23/05/2019 14:02

What a vile pig. Imagine if you had been desperate or very naive??? Imagine being stuck with THAT?

Sadly, many men are very entitled and fussy, when the vast majority of them really have NO reason to be.

I think many women have higher standards these days, and won't stand for any eejit (just so they're not single!) So some men need to start changing their ways, or they will spend their life alone. And whilst women can cope fine without a man, many men struggle without a woman.

It's a woman's world now, we don't need men, and most men on OLD are fucking awful. To be honest, most men over 35 who are single are a bit tragic (unless they are widowed.) I mean you have to question WHY they are single or divorced?

Most women don't leave/end a relationship or marriage unless it's absolutely unbearable. So many men who are divorced are NOT a great catch!

amusedbush · 23/05/2019 14:03

I met my DH on POF back in 2011 and it was full of weirdos then.

A guy sent me a very sexually explicit message and when I didn't respond he messaged again calling me a fat cunt Hmm

Bezalelle · 23/05/2019 14:09

PoF = Plenty of Freaks

CSIblonde · 23/05/2019 14:16

I never got more than dick pics & married men on there. The weirdos are everywhere. I'm on Encounters now & got told a guy wouldn't respond to any woman who posted pics with her pets or wasn't size 10. Needless to say he was deleted.

GinisLife · 23/05/2019 14:34

It's him blocking me that's made laugh the most. You wonder what he thinks I'm going to do if he leaves me bring able to message him. I do love Plenty of Freaks 😂😂.

What a horribly judgemental opinion.

GinisLife · 25/05/2019 20:52

He's only gone and reported me to POF for having a fake account !!! Part of his rant was that my account was fake and I'd copied and pasted from other peoples profiles. I really haven't. I'm a genuine single person and wrote my (rubbish) profile myself. I've been on PoF for over 9 years - though I rarely go on there. Honestly, the bloke is obviously an absolute nut job- and I have no recourse at all to set the record straight.

Plenty Of Freaks!

Thetruthwillout80 · 25/05/2019 21:02

GinisLife, just seen that you call it that too 😂

HeresMe · 25/05/2019 21:03

He's a complete freak and weirdo just block and ignore. Don't put up!with any of this crap.

On a unrelated note Take your profile down if you aren't looking why's it up?, I hate messaging people who aren't even lookint or after a ego boost.

Surely you could say same about women, why are they divorced, single after 35. I don't think this at all but turning it back at you.
