Sorry moan here!!! But after receiving a block of messages from various people who are looking for no strings fun! web cam stuff and people who want one night stands i have come to the conclusion that most of these just do not appear to be reading my profile! Surely! had i have wanted all these things, then i would have said so on my profile? I have come to the conclusion that they obviously do not bother to read profiles and only look at the picture!! Grrrrrrrr UT I am no prude, but it does annoy me and i am just getting fed up with complete time wasters! Am i on my own here with this one??? Rolling Eyes

Dont get me wrong im a very sexual person but i am not after one night stands. i would rather do it with a friend or wait till i found the one.

i think alot of people dont bother reading profiles, which is a shame, as it can lead to some form of harrasment, it happened to me twice before on here, first it was this psychotic women, second time was this gay guy who would constantly send me messages to meet up with him, had to block them both in the end.

I think a lot of people don't bother.

I personally do read profiles, to find out if i at least home something in common with them.

Read the profiles peop!

I put in my profile i want meet a nice guy dates only. im pos lookin 4 a boyfriend why might u ask maybe theres a nice guy out there?

anyway ive had 57 offers of sex one night stands 7 of women in the last few days. why? i find it insulting if i want a 1 ngt stand i go on a night out sorry to sound arragont i have no probs attractin men on outside world but thats is not what im lloking for.

I want something of more meaning abit of romance. so when a gorl or guy states they want romance or a date it would help if peop bothered to read the profiles,

I wish peop look who r looking for sex or fun as they call it on here but if u want something bi more spec leave alone .

I get a lot of emails and I'd say the majority are looking for the complete opposite to what I say on my profile. Its a sad fact that most people don't bother to read profiles.

I've had all kinds of offers, even a couple asking me to become their threesome buddy! Nowhere in my profile does it even hint that I'm looking for that.

I also say that if you don't have a picture I won't reply as I have pictures so I'd like the same. Its my preference but still they email me.

I have to say it doesn't bother me anymore I just ignore them.

As irritating as it is, I can assure you as a man, seeing as we genarally have to do all the damn chasing, you should be pleased you can just sit back & sift through your mountains of emails Very Happy
Personally I like the chase, but occasionally it's nice to be the 1 who does the "yeah, no, maybes"

Maybe there should be sites more like the cities of Nottingham or Liverpool. In the sense that the females outnumber the males, then we can just kick back and sift through our damn male hehehe.

But seriously, them 'fuck me' 1 liners, so lame ESPECIALLY when your profile says what it is your seeking. I can't honestly believe they expect a reply. Maybe they work on the principle that if you send out 100 maybe 1 will say "sure let's do it", i dunno.

I find this extremely fkin irritating tbh because when a sincere man does actually want to break the barrier and say hello (for friendship maybe relationship) and get themselves noticed they actually get ignored because mostly women get this harrasment and by the time they get to ur message they have either logged off or got extremely mad and some of the propositions they get and let me tell u after chatting to some lady friends of mine on here some of them messages arent exactly inviting and as private messages arent monitored (im not sure) people say wtf they like and the worst comes out in some people and it ruins it for the rest of us.
lol sorry for rambling on but i do feel strongly about this as i know most women on these sites gets it Sad
peace T

Interesting! I always red the profiles althou theres usually not to much in them! perhaps flirtbox should add extra bits for us to fill in? gotta say that some profiles appear to contradict!!!!

So how about the people who purport to dislike rude people!!!!!! you send a polite message and thats it you neva hear back! they land up on my blocks cos i dislike hypocrites.

I'm just reachin the point where a lurid email would be a welcome diversion!!!!!

I didn't realise so few people read the profiles until a few weeks ago i decided to put over age of 30 only please on my profile to reduce my mail. I get quite a lot of mail from younger men and its not my thing. Thought this would resolve situation but sorry to report it has not cos they don't read. Shame cos its wasting their time and mine.
