Oh how I miss the good old online dating days. Actually had more fun with my friends coming round for a drink and reading all the daft messages I got sent (foot pic requests etc)
One time I was chatting to a ‘normal’ guy I thought, very polite, seemed to have good banter and we were getting on well. Few days later he messaged me again and began to reveal his true self....asking about sex and kinks (they all go there eventually) He then went on to tell me his ultimate fantasy was putting on some latex gloves and poking about the old bum hole, of his chosen lady, before inviting her to take a shit on his bare chest. I had just randomly checked this message when I was out having a nice lunch with my mum and she thought I had just seen a ghost. I almost choked and then burst out laughing. Not one to judge people’s kinks but that one is just down right disgusting

Before I met my now fiancé, I was chatting to someone on tinder who would send me abuse if I didn’t reply within 5-10 minutes. How I was a slag and I was speaking to every other boy but him, as you can probably guess, he met the block button not too long after. Imagine my surprise, when I seen his face pop up in the local newspaper the year after, a police mugshot accompanied with a headline of him being jailed for 10 years for rape!!!

OH MY GOD!!!! That's absolutely terrifying!! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] You can never be too careful these days. Far too many sick f***s out there. I worked in lots of different clubs all across London and the amount of men trying to take advantage of drunk women made me sick to my stomach.

One guy I had been talking to for a while got in a huff with me when he asked if I liked him and I honestly said I didn’t know and I couldn’t know unless I met him in person. He seemed to think it unreasonable that I couldn’t declare my undying love for him without meeting. We didn’t end up meeting!

One guy I met on a number of occasions who refused to admit we were having any sort of relationship because he had a checklist of what he wanted in a girl and I didn’t tick all the boxes (I think he was still hung up on his ex who he dumped because she was larger and had a health scare but didn’t do anything to minimise it happening again which he didn’t like? from what he told me) He also decided I must still have feelings for my ex (projecting much?) when I told him minutes after my ex randomly turning up on my doorstep after work one night with some sweets for me obviously looking for some company, I turned him away obviously.

One guy I was talking to about gigs and I was saying I wanted to go see a band and he said yeah we should go together etc so I told him I’d bought a ticket so he should buy one and come with me. He got annoyed because I hadn’t thought to buy him a ticket when I bought mine (£30, we hadn’t met yet, gig wasn’t sold out) so he refused to (still went on my own, had a great night)
Despite this I still went on a ‘date’ with him to watch deadpool at the cinema (I really wanted to see the film so thought fuck it). I say ‘date’ because cinema trips don’t really allow for much conversation and he turned up late just before it started. Afterwards he offered to drive me home and took offence when I agreed as long as he understood that I wouldn’t be inviting him in.
Anyway, despite this we were talking about another band that would be good to go to but was sold out so I suggested that we go anyway and see if we could maybe get tickets from a tout out front and if not we could maybe do something else instead. He drove us there so I’m the car I was making suggestions of other things we could do instead and trying to have some banter but he just didn’t seem to be entertaining the idea. When we got there he found a tout who didn’t have any tickets but basically told us to go wait in a nearby pub and he would let us know if he got any. So we went and had some food but he wasn’t great chat tbh and once we’d eaten I was trying to say it was pointless hanging around because the tout would likely charge more than I was willing to pay because we were waiting around so maybe we should do something else rather than hang around and be overcharged. We disagreed on this and he pretty much just stopped talking to me and went on his phone. So after about ten minutes of being ignored I googled the next train time home and left. In that time he’d already blocked me on pof! He did however send me a picture later of him in the gig with a ticket but didn’t respond when I asked how much he paid for it. It was a quite liberating feeling because I was an hour away from home but rather than staying in an uncomfortable situation for a ride home I just left. First time I’d needed to do it but glad that I could!

But I also met my partner on pof. He messaged me and his was the only profile picture I ever saw that made me actually go “oh! He looks nice!” Every other one was sort of a “they’re alright, have to see what they actually look like in person”. He just looked really nice and genuine and in person he still made my heart skip and I was grinning for days after. He’s just wonderful

This is a wonderful thread! And there are so many familiar sounding men and situations!

I went on a date with a guy who had constantly messaged me wanting to meet. My instincts said no but he had worn me down and I agreed to meet him for coffee one afternoon. Being safety conscious, I told my best friend what I was doing and promised to let her know how the meet up went.

We met and my instinct had been right. He was a tool and his shoes were just horrible. (Me, shallow? Hell, yeah!) He chuntered on for ages about his charity work, how he took care of his parents while his brother ignored them, how his ex wife had swindled him out of his house, yawn yawn. Anyhow, he went off to have a pee and I texted my friend telling her how awful he was and I was making my escape ASAP.

We left the café, I made my excuses and high-tailed it to my car. Hours later I checked my phone to see if my friend had texted me back. I’d only sent the derogatory text to him, ffs!

When your a model and also ex-con
Well it works for Jeremy Meeks

I signed up to online dating just the once, and not because I was looking for anyone. I was working with a vulnerable patient who had arranged to meet a couple of men she'd met online (separately, not together). I created a fake account so I could take a look at their profiles just to reassure myself they weren't mad axe murderers.

As it was a fake account just for nosing purposes I put basic info about 'myself', made myself sound as boring and unattractive as possible and didn't upload a picture. Within 15 minutes of signing up I'd received 9 messages; 2 of those messages were from the men she was supposed to be meeting! How fucking desperate do these blokes have to be to message someone with virtually no info and no profile pic. <-- rhetorical question.

I'm on a few local Facebook groups and posted in a thread about recycling. Shortly afterwards I got a DM from some bloke in the group asking if I wanted to go dogging with him. WTF? That escalated quickly

When I was 22 I had a (very) rich older man ask me to be his mistress. I would get my own flat in London, all bills paid and £2,000 a month to spend on myself. When I politely refused he started crying

Damn, you should've accepted the offer!!! I've always had a thing for older men, so if that happened to me, I would've totally accepted it! Unless he was repulsive! [emoji1787][emoji1787] The crying was a bit much though. [emoji51][emoji51]

I think someone needs to look a dictionary at the meaning of location and profession...
Unless there is a town called peter and he is the local professional gigolo....

He was about 5'3 (I'm 5'9) and quite flabby, he also had a strangely squeaky voice and I'm pretty sure he wore a wig. I'd have had to be comatose to sleep with him.

I suspect it was the first time the rich little hobbit had been turned down, hence the tears.

Oh dear, then you definitely made the right decision!! [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
This is more what I had in mind when thinking of a sugar daddy. [emoji23][emoji23]
