POM - glad you are feeling better today! I get so irritated by POF with the 'want 2 chat' messages!

Winefiend - you are very naughty Grin

Flipper924 · 08/04/2013 22:18

Glad you're feeling better, Pom. OD is like the angels in DW - if you look at it face on, and know what it is, you'll be fine. The minute you drop your guard and think 'oh, they're probably all just as normal as me', it will destroy you! Of course there are some lovely men out there doing OD as well, but mixed in with a lot of chancers.

I'm afraid I did think Bill was (somewhat out of character) sending cock shots to cheer up Pom Blush. I wondered what the thread was coming to, but now that my smelling salts have revived me, and I know the truth, I shall carry on...

Off to google Fournier gangrene...

At your own risk Flip ( you'll probably be alright )

Flipper924 · 08/04/2013 22:28

Crotch rot?

I do love a good gory picture.

Pomegranatenoir · 08/04/2013 22:30

Oh I forgot I also got someone called butlerinthebuff telling me he wanted to kiss my lips all over. I couldn't reply to him! Either kiss my lips or kiss me all over, how on earth do you kiss my lips all over?? Idiot! I wouldn't have even let him kiss my feet. Dirtbag!

KinNora · 08/04/2013 22:31

You're quids in then.

Flipper924 · 08/04/2013 22:33

Further investigation suggests that it may not make men blind, but excessive masturbation can kill!

Thank you, Nora. That's made my day. Poor sod.

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 22:34

Oh but Pom I know that it is all going to go horribly wrong with number five in the space of about five messages which is normally all it takes for them to reveal themselves as the dipstick they really are.

Also just seen one on Match from about a week ago asking me out - have replied but he may be miffed due to very slow response. We shall see!

KinNora · 08/04/2013 22:34

I aim to please

Pomegranatenoir · 08/04/2013 22:34

Have to say flip I love your description of OD. Think you have summed it up pretty well. Majority are not just like us, the majority are rats.

I will stick to the rules from now on!!

Pomegranatenoir · 08/04/2013 22:37

oww have faith. All it takes is one decent man....

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 22:41

Hmm whilst on Match checked out Cakey's photos. Very misleading. He doesn't really look like that at all, has put on weight and there are no glasses on in the pictures (not that I have anything against glasses, but you would think that if you wear them, you'd have them in your photos). Why do they do this?

Bad-day-can't-chat Engineer is currently making free with the delights of the PoF site. Doesn't he realise that a little green light comes on when he's online? Oh dear. I cannot be bothered with it. If he doesn't want to chat with me, that's fine, but why tell lies?

Pomegranatenoir · 08/04/2013 22:49

Oww bye bye engineer I think. Don't waste your energy on such a flake. After all there are plenty of fish!!

KinNora · 08/04/2013 22:50

Well fuck him then OWW not only is he a tosspot, he's a stupid tosspot.

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 23:01

Now I have a weird 27 year old who likes cage fighting and mareins. (Marines? Dunno). I think it's time for bed.

ike1 · 08/04/2013 23:09

Right I am off to bed soon to get beauty sleep...gonna squeeze more photos out of this mug everyday this week even if it kills me ...

JulietteMontague · 08/04/2013 23:16

Ike see when those model complain that it's hard work... night night

ike1 · 08/04/2013 23:29

Yeah but Jule they are gorgeous...for us ordinary folk it really is hard work...jumpin on sofas trying to get under spotlights...hiding junk in the background...standing infront of windows...but not too much...

ike1 · 08/04/2013 23:31

....and even then ....just had a look at the competition...well you know what makes someone stand out from the crowd? My red hair did...but i have that artfully tied back now...trying to create a less kooky look..so I am blending in with all the other buggers gurning away now...sigh...

ike1 · 08/04/2013 23:33

My POF inbox will probs be full of messages from women in the morning...hmmm there's a thought...maybe its time for a switch...

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 09/04/2013 00:32

I received a text message about half hour ago from creepy weirdo saying it was his cousin and her baby I saw him with today and he didn't speak to me because I had ignored him after the "date".

What he means is the gf and baby are asleep now so he's trying to cover his tracks as hes shitting it. I ignored the message.

I was speaking to a nice lad/man tonight on POF. No mention of meeting up though so shall see what happens. I am back in touch with someone I met in RL last year which never took off but think it might this time around.

Walkacrossthesand · 09/04/2013 00:43

I'm in email dialogue (sort of) with a guy who, 5 messages in, is still waffling on about how lovely I am, how he loves going for long walks, what he thinks relationships should be blah blah, but has asked me/told me nothing tangible/meaningful about himself or me. I've just gently challenged him about this, but I'm finding it a bit odd! Red flags-ville Arizona?

48howdidthathappen · 09/04/2013 07:53

Morning all Smile

Finding it hard to keep up.

New relationships are very strange. All a bit weird for me. This love thing can be total crap. Snape I think these odd waves of neediness are part of the deal. Bugger!

lubeybooby · 09/04/2013 08:01

Morning all

I'm a non smoker

I'm fine, I'm fine

Might not be around much while I distract myself by doing things like stabbing myself in the leg so then it feels good when I quit stabbing.
