So that he could send me a picture, I politely declined because I felt uncomfortable giving my email address to someone who doesn't have a picture, and also because I'd only just started talking to him..

He then cut the conversation short because if I won't give him my email address I am not worth talking too... He then called me stuck up.

Am I wrong in thinking he's a bit of an idiot?!

I spoke with a single male re this one, we differed. I thought he was impatience and pushy, he said it was a sensible course, as the messaging system on here lacks..... ( fill in the gaps)

He also said if he wasn't interested he wouldnt have bothered asking, and that she declined giving a simple email address, showed that she wasnt really interested.

So I guess its a difference of the sexes thing maybe? I do see where he is coming from, as email address's have so much control on them now, if he did turn out to be a pain blocking him is quick and easy and its not like he knows where you live and can stalk you forever, so there are minimal risks to giving out an email address.

No.
Did he give a good reason as to why he could email you a picture but not upload it on to here?

Stuck Up!? Love it. I certianly couldn't be bothered finding out who some random is, who's too lazy to create a profile.

I suspect most these people are scammers, who like to control their scamees from a collection of dating sites from a central e-mail account, and feed off the information they've seen from you.

Evil or Very Mad

Bit of the ole healthy paranoia! It's an old trick, certainly a lot the scammer "women" use it, also it's because, if profiles can be deleted and correspondance can be maintained. And it's always a yahoo address for some reason? I'd LOL in their general direction, if I knew where they actually lived.

Aye - They always come to you, as their profiles are either empty, or are rubbish, ie; they have pics from randomrussianclubbabe.ru or the intial clothed shot of a pornstar from a steamy office photoshoot, who lives in "Durham, UK, London" has a MSc's and "hate liers & cheats." This is the last one who sent a message, which is atypical! The profile reads...

"Am looking for a caring honest easy going man that will be my back bone for the rest of my life ....Am looking for a caring honest easy going man that will be my back bone for the rest of my life ....Am looking for a caring honest easy going man that will be my back bone for the rest of my life ...."

That's right he/she's copied and pasted a sentence 4 times!!!

There's no pics or info.



"Hello , I'm Grace... I would love to say Hi to you .. I do like your profile and you can go through my profile as well and get in touch with me.. I'm single... You can tell me more about yourself , I definitely would appreciate the email sent to my personal email address at { Imsolonely@boohoo.co.uk } also send me some pics of you if you have them ... Well i will let you know more about myself and get some pictures sent to you ... Hope to hear from u soon... Grace."

As you see they're not very good!! At least this one doesn't riff about 'her' desperate need to get married, and love of moonlight walks.

Laughing

I have not and dont intend to upload a picture, when you upload a pic to the internet you hand over the ownership of the said picture, where do you think all the before and after pics come from on breast enlargement adds etc. It has nothing to do with been lazy lol, just some people have more sense than others, privacy is a rare thing these days, some people cherish it.

I dont think he should of called you stuck up. You should all think more bout uploading pics, facebook culture....... Mehhhhh.
