800 in 4 days?! Shock

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 22:17

milk only 200 a day Grin

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:18

Yup. I was utterly shocked. Ive been on POF years, but that kind of took the biscuit!! I mean surely the guy had a more recent (or appropriate!) photo than his wedding picture?!

I am so tempted to set up a bogus profile with bogus pictures just to respond to some of the guys on there.

Tressy · 20/11/2012 22:18

I reckon the 'hi, how are u sexy' type messages are because they are so used to getting ignored it's not worth them taking time to type out something witty/personal to your profile. So it's kind of just a flirt as in do you like me back. Let's face it, even a 'hi how are you' might get a reply if he's fit.

Also a 'lol' isn't that bad and certainly shouldn't be a deal breaker. It's more 'I've said something in jest that I found quite amusing so hope you aren't offended'.

Just saying.....

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 22:19

"Shallow man" said he was looking for someone 'similar'. i too said I was looking for someone similar - who places personality and values above looks - so clearly we are not matched.

Just saw a profile with the tag line "you no you want to". He also has a good sense of "homour". How could a girl resist!

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 22:22

Oh that was good Yoga high road and all that.

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 22:22

smoke you think the guy would at least have had the "class" to have cropped her out entirely! Depressing indeed.

Tressy · 20/11/2012 22:23

There is no excuse for spelling mistakes unless he looks sexy.

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:23

Tressy to me its the use of the word Lol full stop. I even ban my friends using it on my FB (ongoing joke) Grin

I'm on the kids laptop - with great internet parental controls - so can get on POF to find my favourite lines.

Though I have to ask - why do men think we want to see them half naked holding a giant fish!?!?!?

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 22:25

smoke I don't get the fish thing either! I've even asked some of the men I've messaged about it (none of them actually had pictures of themselves with fish) and they were none the wiser.

Oh, apparently I've misjudged Shallow Man - he says I'm wrong about him and I would have looked great on his arm! Ah, yes i can see I've misjudged him entirely. Tempted to reply with just that but I suspect the sarcasm would be lost on him!

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:25

*cant get on POF

and yes - blanking out face was low

but better than the photos people put up of them with their kids. or even worse pictures of them with someone elses kids (look, me with my friends son! Look, me with my neice!)

bantamrooster · 20/11/2012 22:26

Some of them take 'plenty of fish' too literally

Tressy · 20/11/2012 22:26

Oh OK, was just thinking it's used when tone of voice and facial expressions aren't there. As you were....

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 22:26

mercury7 · 20/11/2012 22:27

Ok, here's a profile, just taken at random:

'WELL WAT CAN I SAY, IM A HORNEY DEVIL, THE MORE THE BETTER, TRY ANYTHING ONCE OR MAYBE TWICE OR MORE LOL, PLENTY STAMINA ,AND ENDOWED SO TRY ME YOU WONT BE SORRY.im not into web or chat
i want the real thing im a doer not a texter, so if you want the real thing get in contact ,i am single and live on my own so can accomadate.I LIKE GIONG FOR ROMANTIC WALKS AND LOVE THE BEACH,LOOKING IN SHOPS BY BEACH AND HAVE MANY OTHER INTERESTS SO IF WE MEET WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MYSELF, I AM A CARING AND AFFECTIONATE GUY ,IM SO HORNY AND WOULD LIKE TO PLAY SO COME ON GIRLS'

in his 'dating diary' he has written 'BECAME A FULL MEMBER AND NOONE WANT TO TALK WATS GOING ON'

gosh I just cant imagine why he's not getting a response:o

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:27

ha ha Yoga, you would have been the best looking thing in that partnership!!

though at least the guys posing with big fish are honest about their very smelly, lonely, boring hobbies ;-)

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:30

oh wow mercury. seriously?!?! I cant believe someone like that hasnt been snapped up!!

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 22:33

lubey bit of a shoe fetish there? won't mention the handcuffs Wink

natureslaw · 20/11/2012 22:33

yoga depends how big the fish is Wink

hatesponge · 20/11/2012 22:33

I lost count of the texts. It may have been more. He was a complete fuckmuppet though, post date I think I got 6 texts from him in total. All of which were moaning about how ill he was. Never saw him again but with hindsight that was a lucky escape because he is v odd...

Lubey I love the last 2 pairs of shoes :)

Am also reminded how very much I want a corset!

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 22:34

Some of them take 'plenty of fish' too literally

Dare I say it.....L....O....?

Too depressing. Hiding again.

Lubey Love the dress & the shoes. Not sure i would know what to do with the other stuff! Blush

natureslaw · 20/11/2012 22:34

lubey those handcuffs on your own? Now I'm concerned you might get stuck Hmm

mercury7 · 20/11/2012 22:35

corsets look very sexy but I cant bear anything tight like that, all my 'special' underwear has to also be uber comfy:)

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 22:36

Mac :o Yeah just a bit - can't find the link to my boots anywhere though but they were knee high suede ones. hope the cuffs get here before BC because i have evil plans for them and him

mercury7 · 20/11/2012 22:37

yoga.maybe thats it!!
they really do think the site has an actual rather than metaphorical fishing theme:o
