Well, not that I'm exactly fending off messages left right and centre, but this will probably finish them off for good - I am out of the UK until the summer, I'll be abroad on work.  Thanks to anyone who would still be interested enough to get in touch in the meantime, but I shalln't hold my breath  ;)

You know, something I do pride myself on is treating other people's profiles with respect.  i.e. if it says "looking for cash pigs", I simply acknowledge this isn't the person for me, move on, and leave them to the people this will work for.

I've never, ever sent a message to anyone listed as "Lesbian" whose profile further stipulates "no men".  Why would I?  A waste of their time, a waste of mine, and discourteous to boot.

So precisely what part of my profile makes some men here think "Hey boi wot u doin?" is an acceptable one-line message to send me?

And what part of my profile makes anyone, man or woman or one disguised as the other, think I have any interest in paying a tribute to a barely literate stranger who's sent me a one-line message?

There were always time-wasters on this site, for as long as it's been around.  But I think it's really, really sad how the balance has turned completely in their favour.  What a true shame.
