    I wouldn't date based on Blood type but I do discriminate on eye colour. Wouldn't want to end up with some brown-eyed little freaks running around. :pac:

    It's almost like a Nigerian spambot :P The profile behind it seems real though, which I find rather amusing.
    There are scammers operating on dating sites, they usually write messages in the form "I love your eyes/smile/face". They copy other people's profiles and pictures.

    It doesn't mean that person definitely is, just don't invite him to live with you until second date minimum :D

    I always thought the spambots were more of the I am looking for honourable man to love and I will look after him. I am good god fearing woman.

    Usually accompanied by a pic of some model type!

    Usually but not always. They go after women too using similar techniques. At some point they probably realised a profile all about their love of god with pictures of a model in a skimpy dress didn't quite gel with the average person so they started lifting other profiles wholesale.

    Hah,no joke OKC sent me an email saying that I've been getting high ratings and they've adjusted my matches to better looking people :D

    I'm flattered OKC but you're just not my type.

    This is something that would really, really bother me. I'm very open with my friends about the fact that I date people I meet online, but I know some of them judge it. The last person I would expect that sort of attitude from is from someone who is also using the sites. I would also be very uncomfortable being asked to lie about something.

    It's probably too late to apologise for raining on your parade now Uglyjohn... but hope you had a good holiday and welcome back! :)

    I too would have nothing to do with someone who would even consider lying about such a thing, if they are comfortable with telling lies once, they are probably telling lies all the time, and will eventually lie to you.

    OkC. And I won't! I'm paranoid enough someone I know will find it :P Debating whether or not to put pics up. All pictures I have of myself are quite misleading.

    Pics or no hits! The first thing people notice on sites are the pics. I have zero intention of clicking on someones picless profile and reading about them unless I can see who it is I am looking at. No1 puts up unflattering pics of themselves so don't worry. I might actually stick up one of me looking shocking the morning after a session..this is me at my best and this is me at my worst..take it or leave it, infact I'm hammered in my profile pic as it is so its not a big step! :D

    Ah FFS!!!

    At this rate it'll just be me, the mods and Magnetic Impulse left on here!!

    And the only reason the mods will be here is cos they get paid in imaginary internetbucks and user XP!

    Had the coolest thing happen to me today!

    Dont know If you remember I said I was chatting to a nice guy in a coffee shop in Rathmines, a few weeks back. I didn't really have the confidence to ask for his number and he didnt ask for mine, so I just chalked it up to a nice experience and left it at that. When we were chatting I mentioned that I worked for a disability organisation and told him the name of it.

    Turns out he actually emailed my work the next day asking to forward on his contact details to me!Our secretary was on annual leave for two weeks, so I just got it now. Was such a nice suprise today, and has restored my faith in meeting someone :)
