Tulefell: I replay to all messages, that I perceive as legit.
The lines are drawn at dirty talk. Not because I'm some kind of a saint, but because more often, than not, it's lame and ridiculous. When it's not lame and ridiculous, I don't draw the lines :)
Uncomfortable... well, when a letter is based on an assumption that I am sitting here and waiting for someone to rescue me and give me a household to manage. My first reaction is to ask myself when in my profile could I possible give a hint that I'm the type. And then the realisation, that I start with trying to find a fault on my side, is the source of discomfort. Though, I'm working on it :)
Unfortunately, there are many "rescuers" here (men and women) as well as "victims".
Those who think that we, women, need rescuing, are probably the ones who need to be rescued themselves

I stopped to draw conclusions a long time ago. Actually, after the first wave of discomfort you feel gratefulness: the person isn't what you are looking for and thanks for informing, even so implicitly, so early in the encounter.
Mercedes_00: At the mo I have 105 messages on cs..Over 200 messages else where..Not uncomfortable at all..Just can't be bothered with bs behind a screen
That's better than not getting any messages for weeks at a time. That's the situation for many guys on dating sites.
Not uncomfortable but definitely a turn off Another site I’m on filters seem to be very popular with the men a grown man should not have a picture with dog ears or cats nose
Butterflygirl1: Men with no top on I don’t even reply

I don't like pics with no shirt on either.
Women would certainly not be allowed to do that on a dating site!
HI, if you not on Connecting Singles to DATE then what are you there for exactly????? Usually if they only say HELLO, or HI, or WHAT"S UP? I don't reply at all...They sound boring right from the get go...I NEED some conversation, like Hey this is so n so and I saw your profile and found you beautiful or interesting and wanna know more about you if that's okay with you etc. etc...I need some words in order to write anything back to him at all...I avoid scammers if at all possible and I entail A LOT of them...Dozens of them are crawling on these dating sites.
MEN here today, gone tomorrow...They love you, they don't love you. You are wonderful as long as you tell them what they wanna hear, when you stop you are not wonderful any longer...Scammers are all over, they love you the first week or so, then it's sweetie, baby, honey, darling, wanna spend the rest of my life with you (sure you do), then all the sudden his job is taking him overseas for a few weeks or months. He get over there and text you or emails you or does a hangout with you and he has to have money to get back home, his bank acct. was frozen (of course he has no idea how on earth that happened)..."right". I understand really seriously I do... OR he lost his phone, or it was stolen. He needs an I Tune card or an amazon card. Maybe he wants you to open a cash app on your phone and give him the keycode to it (laughing). NO wait, he needs your bank account number and routing number b/c he really wants you to keep some money of his for him until he is home. It's A LOT like way up in the thousands of dollars $$$$$$$$$$ I mean that's A LOT of money, but someone owed it to him and just paid it all back, but b/c of security reasons he's not allowed to keep that kind of money there and needs YOU to keep it for him in your bank (please honey) until he comes home to you and lives happily ever after with you and ALL of that money that you kept for him hahaha. and on and on and on! So he's here today, and gone bye bye tomorrow...How many have I met like these? Ahhhhhhh dozens upon dozens upon dozens. SO Scammers are the PITS, the LOW LIFE SCUM of the earth that WORK to take MONEY and other goodies away from Stupid women or uneducated women or women that are just LOVE starved and will send money or gifts to a man b/c they think he loves them and will come and meet them and take them into never never fantasy land with them forever. OH PLEASE, get a life...Scammers are a dime a dozen...I must now have A LOT of dimes for all that I have met on dating sites in the past 2 years... KITTEN
I’m not here for dating. So I ignore 99% of email and just delete it because I have no intention of getting to know them - whatever their reasons for being here are

Hi Oxy
I find some of the threads on here and their posters quite uncomfortable at times.
