So Fucking Angry at what this man on a dating website just messaged me

[NotSuchASmugMarriedNow]

I am on a dating website and i messaged a man who lives near me to say hi and how come he didn't come to the singles meet-up we had in our area the week before as I'd have noticed him.

He messaged me back to say he'd have noticed me too and that the sprout pickers uniform would have been a dead-giveaway.

he specifically states on his profile that he is a good man - yes he does - he actually says that

I like that you did that NotSuchASmugMarried - you called him on it but politely and with dignity. Well done

Yes second what hmc said. Dignified response, good work.

god almighty what disproportionate response from op and some posters

he cracked a bad un. so he's no comic

but the hand wringing, and chin scratching why,why did he say that... and him saying he's a good man too. hell a good man wouldn't bring sprouts into it

That me laugh scottishmummy.

I had a comment on Sat night from a dating website that I looked lovely but was too old. He was 42 I am 39. I told him to feck off and look elsewhere. Block is your friend. It is there for a reason.

well, generally, in relationships people go a bit more carefully. If you are up for flippant comments and sneering you take your chances in AIBU or even chat. I think you've got your boards crossed scottishmummy.

Being offended is a choice.

There's really no point letting it get to you, so delete and move on.

Scottishmummy-PMSL at minge pics!
Notsuch-you obviously have also not received any cock pics yet either....

Sorry OP, I truly am sorry but oh my god, this thread has made me giggle.

Procrastinate the name of the town on that link has made me laugh. I read Cockburnspath as Cockbumspath (well the print was small) .

Haha. Thank goodness for Scottishmummy talking sense.

The guy cracked a bad joke. Clearly trying for humour but failing to include one of these . The people at still talking about it at all is simply incredible. More posts on this thread than on the discussion of Syria massacre! Can we get some perspective Netters?

its the handwringing he said he is a good man
aye til he brought sprouts into it it seems
this has got to be one of the most aghast/offended/oh my giddy aunt ive seen on mn for long time. and the angst oh poor you, how very dare he talk of sprouts and denigrate you so responses

he cracked a bad joke
hopefully youll survive the emotional upheaval

'Sprout picker' has surely got to be the new MN insult.

well tattie howker is a good sscottish put down
shea awfy tattie howking

nithin wrang wi howkin a tattie or two.

sprouts on the ither han...

tattie howking, fine
dont bring sprouts intae it though

yes we get its a sproutland insult
doesnt negate the good man indignation. this is a huge overreaction to an inane crack

Maples, I think what was amusing was the general confusion that arose, rather than poking fun at the OP personally.

its the high expressed emotion and disproportionate indignation

So an insult in his first email and a lie in the next? Sounds like a real catch!

There's a lot of dicks on internet dating (literally as well - never seen so many different cocks!).

One guy messaged me and basically said that because I looked nice I was probably a total botch and up myself etc etc and kept mailing me getting more and more insulting! My morbid sense of curiosity kept him unblocked for a short while but my advice is . . . Block, block, block! :)

*bitch (although maybe a 'botch' too!)
