So, have we had more than one pirate then?

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 20:52

. Nope. Just one. :)

OhWesternWind · 03/11/2012 21:03

I've sent you a friend request Parsley!

ParsleyTheLioness · 03/11/2012 21:08

Oh, ok,

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 21:09

Ha ha snape, I've just had this as a first message:

"We can c y ur man left u for a youger womam.get ur head out of your arse love your not that grt a catch .ill txt rest of the guys and tell them to avoid bunny boiler. Wat a cow. Sorry did u do to private school."

Would love to send a scathing reply but that probably just encourages the fuckers.

ParsleyTheLioness · 03/11/2012 21:12

Accepted. Have put you on the Book of Face list...

ParsleyTheLioness · 03/11/2012 21:14

Yoga :(

lubeybooby · 03/11/2012 21:15

Yoga beware the negative prompt! Don't reply.

yoga. Fuckssake. What site? what username so we can have an intervention

That is horrible. Horrible man. No reaction, you're right. Just block. Fucking clit-dick.

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 21:24

That's ok, he doesn't even know that my husband left me for another woman, he's just trying it on. I'd link to his profile for you (which is equally revolting) but I've already blocked him. So....I'm currently chatting to three men (although feel like i'm doing all the hard work and not one has made me laugh yet). Anyway, heres' the rundown:

45 yo, a little on the heavy side but not bad looking, has a teenage son and seems nice, likes music festivals but a little dull so far

cute bald 42 yo, but seems reluctant to say much about himself

tall, decent looking 45 (who also doesn't seem to have much to say!) and has just asked me what my plans are for tomorrow...eek. Do I pretend to have plans? he looks ok but I usually know quite a bit more about someone before I agree to meet. Maybe he's just trying to make conversation..? Help.

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 21:25

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the last one is (apparently) a Buddhist

bantamrooster · 03/11/2012 21:25

Ah the spirit of Shakespeare is alive and well I see.

What a fecking moron. I feel the need to apologise on behalf of my half of the human race again.

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 21:25

Apologies accepted Bantam! Smile

Worley · 03/11/2012 21:29

so after much digging and googling this eve I think I've discovered that my friend who messages me for flirty chats is indeed in a relationship. which has left me fuming hat he's been messaging me and he's with some one since at least aug09. (he got back in touch about oct 09. I've blocked him on email but am thinking up a shitty but witty reply for when he texts which will probably be Tuesday as he always messages on a tues..
I wish I'd thought of googling to start with but as had just split with ex I didn't really think anything of it at time.. ffs..

Worley · 03/11/2012 21:32

yoga - unblock.. link us then block again.
how dare he!! why would anyone use that as a first message. he's obv just trying to make himself feel better

bantamrooster · 03/11/2012 21:34

worley

I refer you to my previous post

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 21:37

God I'm getting bored of this. I write 3 or 4 (hopefully witty) sentences and maybe ask a question and get a one line response.

Worley - on POF - I'm trying to figure out how to find the list of men I've blocked.

lubeybooby · 03/11/2012 21:42

I think he's just really threatened by an attractive, intelligent woman that he has no chance with. But he fancies her, and that makes him angry. Knowing he hasn't a hope in hell.

If yoga messaged back "oh sry hunnnni, dno wat i did 2 upset u LOL u shud get to no me. I reelly like yr profile bbz msg me yeah?"

then he would be instantly in love and eating out of her hand.

I think that's where these neagtive prompts come from. anger/misogyny/etc

Profession 'driveri' ?

faintheartneverwonfairdate · 03/11/2012 21:46

Bantam no need to apologise at all, I'm back on POF and have remembered why I stopped it. It's just a numbers game and whoever said its like weeding a garden looking for the flower is right. Anyone know how do I hide my profile? I thought I had but am still getting messages.

Anyone else keep attracting DOM types? Either that or men wanting to be my slave and as this is from the same profile it does seem that people will see what they want to see. Not a bit of leather in my wardrobe Grin

mercury7 · 03/11/2012 21:48

is the profile some sort of piss take?
really dont even bother, I mean why provoke a dumb animal?

KirstyWirsty · 03/11/2012 21:51

yoga are you sure someone who doesn't like him has put that on for a laugh as surely no one would find that profile attractive???

faintheartneverwonfairdate · 03/11/2012 21:51

Yoga thanks for sharing him, what a catch. Maybe he is a plant to demoralise us manage our expectations of a decent man so that we fall for the next one we see?
