I had a one-sided argument that lasted months with this one guy.
My profile stated that I prefer Caucasian men to date. In my innocence I thought it would save a lot of wasted time, and effort on the part of others. Just my preference and all that....
So this guy messages me telling me I don't know what I'm missing, stating the obvious stereotype about it being bigger and I quote 'once you go black, you never go back'
I politely replied with thanks for the message, however our interests are very different and good luck in his search.

The next God knows how many months I changed names, deleted and altered profiles, used different pictures... He always found me. And accused me of being racist. I reported and blocked every bloody time.
The last time he messaged me - about 6 months after his first... 'so after our amazing foreplay which by the way you put ZERO effort in to, when are you taking me on our first date??'
I deleted that last profile and have never gone back. Never did find anyone worthwhile, not online anyway...

Cakey you put on your profile that you only date white men? Shock I'm not surprised you got trolled tbh

But it seems like that wasn't the problem, Cake -- the problem was that he was black, right? Nothing to do with interests.

You're allowed to not want to date anything but white boys (there isn't a law saying you HAVE to date outside a particular racial group). You can say "I just have a type/I'm just not attracted to black people/it's just the same as preferring redheads or tall men, etc".

But you have to accept that it does make you sound a bit racist.

(and no, it isn't the same as "I just prefer blondes")

I had a guy whose opener was an unsolicited and lengthy essay on how to construct the perfect suspension bridge. With diagrams.

What's even worse is that I told this story at a party a few months later, having met my now DH on the same site, and not only had another woman there had the same message, she had assumed it was wittily ironic, and WENT ON A DATE WITH HIM! It wasn't.

When I did OLD a few years ago I
I exchanged a few perfectly nice messages with a guy. Stupidly I gave him my mobile number to arrange a first date.
That conversation was cringeworthy! Asked me right away how I like it and suggested Sauna for first date. Got a few really nasty messages from him when I politely declined. Luckily they soon stopped.

He specified he was looking for a "lone" woman who has no relatives.
