    Lmao. I'm just worried about my students seeing me on there. Eeeek.

    Most of my messages so far have been the generic "hey sexy how r u" but I did get one guy message me saying "I don't need any manscaping!"

    Give it time.. someone else said that you'll be bombarded with weirdos.. it's true. You'll have to weed through them but every now and then you get a normal one!! :heart:

    I actually have had a profile for a while on POF but never paid much attention to it. I updated it over the weekend more out of curiosity than anything and have received several "I want to meet you" messages. I'm not familiar with the way these sites work so I'm not sure exactly how to respond or if I should respond at all. Though I suspect that it does not literally mean they want to meet just a generic message to show interest.

    That's the picture I use on POF when I want to attract gold diggers. :happy:

    It would be like a wink on other sites. If you are interested it they are more and likely open for you to message them. "Want to meet" is a just a way to scroll through matches.

    Thanks. She sounded interesting, she's a Braves fan so she can't be all bad, so I replied. Now lets see where it goes.

    Plenty of Fish is like shooting fish in a barrel. Scary, mutant fish that swam too close to a nuclear reactor!

    Be sure to check out 419 Eater's love scam section if you never have. Hilarious reading plus will help you weed out scammers.

    http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=44&sid=2593fb13961391132417f105be7c5227

    Most of the scammers are from Nigeria still I believe, although they scam from all over the world, including the US and Western Europe. The ones I've run across in the past were all semi-competent in English. Very semi, okay, not semi, barely competent at all, so their works of art make for some fun reading. (Much like that sentence, only with more spelling errors!)

    And hey, if you run across one, post it for a giggle!

    I had a decent looking guy message me, "hey sexy" and I read his profile and he seemed nice enough, talking about looking for a normal girl to just spend time with, etc. So I thought to myself, okay you can give him a chance. So I respond back, "Hi," and what's the next thing he asks?

    "Want some mornin fun?"

    I replied, "Morning fun?"

    He said, "Good sex"

    Me: Uuuuhh no.

    It seems like half the guys on there think I'm just looking for a hookup and the other half want to get married in a month.
