So.... we've established he's an idiot, it would seem?!
I have re-written my profile many times, each time adding what I thought was extra clarity for the very reason that there was no mis-understanding. Not sure what else I can do?
Thanks for all your input, I truly appreciate it....
I think if you post in your profile "just for the forums only", people think they might be able to change your mind. You should add that you are in a committed relationship. If they pursue with that sign over your head, you owe them nothing.
roseofsharon: About 3-4 days ago I had a pic of me and my fella as my primary pic for a little over 24 hours.
During this time, I had a guy contact me. Quite goodlooking, I guess, asking how my "larking about on the Forums" was going. He seemed friendly enough, I replied politely and he responded saying I seemed like a laugh. I got back to him, all very courteously, but also pointing out I was spoken for but always happy to make new friends.
The e-mail I got was "This site is called Connectingsingles, stop wasting everyone's time"!!!
Whoooaaa....
I remarked what a nice guy he seemed (Hmmm...) and pointed out that there are many members here that are attached and on the site/Forums for varying reasons, it was not against the rules (T&Cs clearly state the crtieria as being unmarried and over 18 years of age).
I also pointed out to him that my profile clearly states "not looking, here for the Forums" at least 3 times as there does seem to be some difficulty in understanding what that means.... huhh??!! It also stipulates I am here for "Friends/Hang Out", and not forgetting the pic.....
Not sure what the difficulty is.... but there couldn't possibly be any confusion?!
What on earth to I have to do with my profile that would make it clearer?
I do suspect, though, that his intentions in contacting me may have been contrived...?! I am still at a loss to comprehend why those who behave in such a way are on a dating site?! Dunno.... any ideas?
What do you guys and gals think? Your viewpoints welcomed, of course, peeps.
Thanks....
When I'm not looking, I respond with such. If I'm actually in a relationship, I don't bother responding at all. And from what I've read from others here, get used to it. There are many who will get disgruntled over it, most of whom probably wouldn't have interested you anyway.

Nothing. Obviously these idiots aren't reading your profile, so there's no way to make it clearer. You've done all you can do, so just ignore the idiots.

My god I couldnt reeeeesssssiiiiiist .Wifey ,forgive me then smile You know ya wanna .Il be better in the morning .Promise
Its bloody scary actually when you get an email from a guy who appears to be ever so sweet and charming and then when you respond and say thank you but you're not actually looking then they turn into the spawn of the devil
Maybe we who are looking should refuse everyone then respond to the ones who give you a polite reply...sorting the wheat from the chaffe so to speak lol
thanks god, i never play nice and sweet here to the ladies
