Rude comments OLD

I'm on and off a dating site half heartedly as experience has taught not to take it too seriously.
Mostly just browsing and the odd chat. I sent a guy a friendly message and his response was that I needed to lose weight to be attractive!
I actually chuckled as it was so abrupt and I'm not easily offended. Granted I am overweight (size 18) but I'm definitely not ugly 🤣.
I told my mum who's hilarious and scoffed saying he must be a cracked up cockwomble!! I don't know where she got that from but it made me laugh, thanks mum!
So, obviously I'm not going to lose sleep over it, he wasn't exactly a god himself. I just think it's unnecessary to make such remarks and if someone's not your type then move swiftly on..!
Has anyone had experience of blatant insults OLD?

It's good you can laugh and put this down to experience but what an absolutely inappropriate rude comment. He didn't have to say anything at all in response but to go out of his way to insult you is dreadful behaviour.

What a horrible thing to say! Im really glad you can see the funny side of it/online dating. I used to get awful messages on apps that didn’t have any barriers to who you can message like POL. Graphic sexual ones, threats etc. Now I only use ones where you both have to swipe, then you know the person is actually interested

I think I need to stick to sites like that where we both swipe!
I've had many random messages too. One asked if I wanted to dominate a bisexual man! I mean, fine if that's your thing but my profile in no way indicates anything like that.
