AIBU to laugh at the half naked men on POF?

Ok, I know this isn't AIBU.. but seriously.. those pictures are hysterical! Would you ever go for someone when they post just pictures of them in their pants?!

I got a lovely message from a hairychestedone..something - including pics of said hairy chest in his drawers... Delete.

A friend of mine likes this kind of thing. I don't get it, but she gets stuck in with all kinds of ridiculous flirting (net and phone) and sending of -ehum- pictures. She seems to have 3 fellas on the go at any one time. You'd never know from chatting with her at school gates. Well not at first.
Don't think she would go for a fat one though.
Flirtomatic, apparently....

Grin @ fliromatic.

crace · 14/11/2010 18:51

Queen, how could you not go for such a fine example of all that is good and romantic in a man? Tsk. Fussy, that's what you are! Wink

Fliromatic? Bit worried to google, MN is not a good place to start strange googlings.

I must be on a roll because I just came home to this e-mail:

This is one hell of an ice-breaker 16:21, 14/11/10
I have 2 tickets to go and see Michael Bolton at the Royal Albert Hall on tuesday 23rd November, good seats on teh balcony. I would like the compamy of a female for the nite.

Would like too meet somewhere local too teh RAHall, go for adrink meal before the gig starts. Micah Paris is supporting, so will be a great nite out.

Anyon einterested, let me know.

take care Chris A

Form an orderly queue ladies. I wish, oh I wish, I could show you his profile picture. He's a real catch (if you like your men to look like potatoes).

kdk · 14/11/2010 21:21

Which site is this gorgeous hunk to be found on - and what an offer!

And am the only one who finds icebreakers similar in idea to standing up in the pub and shouting 'I'm desperate for a shag - anyone between the age of 18 and 85 please form and orderly queue ...' and then being surprised at the lack of any take-up ... or do people respond to them?

crace · 14/11/2010 21:23

Because the mass email thing is an appeal??

OP posts:
kdk · 14/11/2010 21:31

Yes, but an appeal to what or for what - eg please have pity on me?

QueenofWhatever · 15/11/2010 12:23

I find the icebreaker thing quite fascinating as well. Has anyone here ever sent one out? And if so, what sort of response did you get?

I am on a bit of a shonky site that came through something else. The trouble is everybody just sends icebreakers - I get 5-10 a day, yet have only had about two personal messages. Anyone I've e-mailed has not replied although I guess that can be for a number of reasons.

kdk · 15/11/2010 16:22

What site is that QoW? And no, I've never sent an icebreaker - I don't even send messages that often and if I do, try to base them on something I've read and liked in their profile ... but maybe I should just join in and try the scattergun approach!

crace · 15/11/2010 17:30

No, me either! POF have a version of that called "meet me" so you can express an interest without doing a mass email.

Brace yourselves ladies, hairychest is on line now!!!

crace · 16/11/2010 09:12

Awww, missed it by minutes!! How could you resist?? Just had a great message from a chap in Leeds, entitled "Hi Babe". Delete.

Ladies!

You all seem much more au fait with POF than me, I joined recently after a DIABOLICAL date with a guy from justsingleparents.com. Anyway, have swopped numbers with guy on POF - greenboy83 - , he lives about 1/2 mile from me, should I risk having a shite time again? I've lost confidence in it all!

DreamTeamGirl · 16/11/2010 11:50

He looks pretty nice luceelo
Although saying he is searching for a cutie would put me off just a teeny tenny bit.
But thats just me!

Go for it!!

JaquiChan · 16/11/2010 17:50

luceelo, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

What happened with justsingleparent date? Bet you can't beat my latest debacle...met guy whose profile was 39, turned out to be 50!!!!

crace · 16/11/2010 19:03

Luceloo looks nice enough!

Sorry, how is 39 even close to 50!!

OP posts:
JaquiChan · 16/11/2010 22:07

exactly crace,

luceeloo · 17/11/2010 15:00

He was just soo dull. Not even boring or shy just effing dull. Home by 9.30 he then text saying "I had such an amazing time when would you like to meet up again". Umm I'm going to be washing my hair every day he suggests! POF date tonight please lord, be more exciting!...50?! What a freak!!

JaquiChan · 17/11/2010 15:18

50 year old was dull as well, Grin at had an amazing time!!

Good luck for tonight and report back hopefully later than 9.30. If all else fails take a look at "sunchasa" mmmmm Grin.

smokinaces · 17/11/2010 20:16

He must have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy this weekend!!! I got a message from him too (Hairchest guy from Kent), but swiftly deleted before reading, and now feel like I missed out afte reading Queenofwhatever's message Wink

crace · 17/11/2010 20:26
