Ive just started online dating. Im not a walk over or a fool, but in response to a wink, he asked me 'Why no photo?' I replied I had just created an account and he then sent me his number to send him a photo. I declined and said that I dont randomly give out my number and could we chat a bit first?? H then said 'I'm not chatting to a mystery. Upload a photo . What do you think I am?'

What would you do/say??

You're really going all out for it tonight aren't you ILive? Little bit of homophobia here, dash of body shaming there, all with a soupcon of bad grammar... You do know Mumsnet doesn't really have a "Cuntiest poster of the day" award, right?

I was thinking that too, ps

Who is this poster who keeps dropping little piles of shit like an incontinent mutt all over this website ?

OP, you need to learn from this.
In his FIRST MESSAGE he was downright rude to you. Forget people's comments about intuition. You didn't need intuition - he was simply outright and obviously rude.

Yet.. You engaged with him.

And now you're saying OLD isn't for you? So you're letting an arsehole take that potential away for you?

Toughen up. Use OLD but be wiser. If they are rude, do not speak to them. Why on earth did you? Just because you'd started to tell the story on here? OK, I get that. But if was simply because you felt you should, then step away from OLD until you get over that. You CANNOT be a people pleaser in that world.

It worries me too that you were straight in there handing excuses on a plate to a shithead "oh I guess you've been messed about". You know if he'd seen and liked your picture, you were one mail away from him lying and saying "yes I have - sorry, I was too sharp as a result, anyway, lovely photo..." and next thing you're agreeing to a date with a man who has already shown you he's an arse.

Gather your wits before you carry on.

Very good points from Cabrinha. OP unfortunately arseholes like this are ten a penny on OLD (or any website) because they think they can get away with bad behaviour while they're hiding behind a screen. Don't agonise over being polite back, just block them and forget them. It's like cleaning out your spam emails; you don't need to read them and then reply "Do you really have 6 million dollars you need help to get out of Nigeria or is this a scam?" - you just delete them.
