When I decided to join a dating site to get back into the world of dating, a lot of friends warned me about the dodgy messages I was likely to receive. If I'm honest, I assumed they were just being over-protective or over-sensitive....how wrong could I be?
I've
received literally hundreds (not exaggerating!) of undesired messages from guys, aged from
16(!) to 58(!), also ranging from a simple 'Hello!' (imaginative first
message from the 16 year old...) to 'Hi. Can I ask would you be up for
helping an older man with a harmless little fantasy? It's nothing really bad
and you don't even have to take your clothes off (unless you want to!)'
(from a 58 year old man).
If
any of these guys were what I was looking for, or attractive in either
personality or looks, I might be flattered or at least intrigued; but nope, sadly
none of these men have been fish I'd want to take out of the dating pool! I
really think they should change their first-message approach on an online
dating site, especially when other first messages I've received from some of
these guys have included:
'You're fit. Want to come round to my flat tonight?'
'You're fit. Want to come round to my flat tonight?'
'Ur
boobs look huge. How big r they?'
'Are
you on here to meet up for sex...with me? ;)'
'Can I send you a pic of my ****?'
'I want to put my face between your butt cheeks.'
'Can I send you a pic of my ****?'
'I want to put my face between your butt cheeks.'
I've got to admit, despite not wanting to respond to any of these messages, they did make me laugh....A LOT (hence why I'm blogging about them).
And, last but not least, there are those who like to keep things extra short and sweet and just get straight to the point, like this guy who simply typed:

P.S. My next blog entry will reveal some of the lovely messages I've received from guys online, just to show they're not all only after one thing or great at writing highly-inappropriate first messages :P
I was tempted, when I first heard about your blog, to make a fake page and send you a message like one of those. I'm so glad I didn't need to.
