WhatUwish4: Sometimes it is, sometimes it's just for sport. Flirting is an art form to me - at least the good flirting is. I worry about those who are very good at the game because they are the ones most likely to "catch me."
RobbieM: I decided years ago to emphasise my good points, like piles, hallitosis, gambling addictions, alcoholism, chronic bowl disorder and projectile vomiting.
If that fails i add that i'm broke, i cant cook, i'm trying to work out where all the fleas are coming from and then raise the possibility of a date before belching loudly without covering my mouth obviously.
Then again if you believe everything you read your an idiot.

kkitty: no wonder the stalkers are after you
I've had 4 in real life!! Two were a massive problem, one where she was totally delusional and the other i had to virtually get the police involved (and i had to talk to her husband to get her to go away or i told him i would be contacting the police!!)
I think if you exhibit a sense of humour sometimes it takes on a meaning to the mentally ill that you cant quantify and just draws them closer, until they smell blood.
My approach was always to be friendly with everyone, until i found out some people were mad as a brush.

Hugz_n_Kissez: Well I gues that didn't work with the biker jacket sniffing stalker though....
Well i made a mistake of travelling to a chatroom get together on one occasion in Birmingham, UK.....and i turned up all neat and well groomed as i was intending to go somewhere after and being a ponsy dresser i suppose i looked a little different from the others who mostly looked like they had escaped from the circus.
So coupled with the new info i dressed ok, i didn't smell, i had a personality and liked a laugh i had some pretty revolting offers in my inbox when i got home over the next few days!!
What i was amazed about though was all of a suddern some people were after me like i was fresh cakes at a weightwatchers meeting!! It made me feel pretty cheap but i did make 2 good friends out of the episode in the end so it was worth all the grief!!

kkitty: I hate it when they call a lady a girl when they IM you and have nothing to say they want to hurry and meet you after one email they try to find out where you live after only saying hi when they lecture you on your life
Guys... whatever you do, don't be chivalrous! Ladies will think you are putting on, you are out of touch with reality, you have a hidden agenda...and they will avoid you like the plague. Talking from experience here...not an exception, but the most...good luck guys.
