In reply to the discussion: Man poses as woman on online dating site: barely survives 2 hours [View all]Blue_Tires
(55,445 posts)29. But it also has to be said
Every site I've been to (except for the rudimentary ones from the early years) has the option to block any/all e-mail, close your ad/photo to public view, etc...So women can very easily insulate themselves and only contact the men they want to, if they prefer...
I'm mildly curious to see the photo he used, along with knowing why he 'posted' his ad so early...Commenting that he got a shitload of messages before he even *finished* writing the ad raises some red flags for me...

You're changing the subject. This guy was disgusted by *aggressive and vulgar* messages.

I can't imagine that gets results. If it does, then we're even worse off as a species than I thought

So I guess they start with an aggressive, demeaning message ("Kneel!") to establish dominance
