| rude emails that spoil your POF experience
Posted: 5/13/2007 8:19:09 AM | Nothing major here, apparently I can not rile up people enough to hate me. 
The closest thing was one woman who sent me an email telling me I spelled some routine word wrong, actually I don't even think it was a misspelling but a mistype so that the letters were in the wrong order. Like this was even worth the skin wear off her fingers.
So I promptly told her thank you and put her on my favorites list. 
She did not write back again. Ooh, I so wonder why!?

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:00:42 PM | | There was a lady that commented about grammar on her profile , yet she had a grammar error in her profile . I contacted her about it . I figured she would want to know being she was a stickler for grammar . She emailed me back and said I was ugly lmao . I tried to get back to her but she must have anticipated it and blocked me . | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:04:36 PM | I got an email about a post I'd made. Seems she was upset because other posters agreed with me. Huh? Actually felt bad for her, but really now, if you post a question or want advice you have to take it as it comes. Funny the subject line was advice for the advice giver...ironic. Had to shake my head at that one.  | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 5:44:32 PM | | I received one rude email. I was talking to a woman who said she liked baseball. I asked her what are her favorite teams. She said the Red Sox and Yankees. I asked her how can she root for both teams. She got mad and defensive because I asked that question. | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 5:55:22 PM | I get sent blonde jokes... always clever and original.
One time some random women sent me an email saying I looked like Barbie and she hated Barbie. How can you hate Barbie, the poor girl has a boyfriend without boy parts! That's cruel! | |

Not in good taste. But remember the jokes are really making fun of the stereotype and that's not you.

Have you ever been in the Barbie aisle at Toys R Us? That pink can do funny things to one's brain.

Actually I heard she had divorced Ken and his body parts were taken as part of the settlement.  | |

My question which is mainly for the women but men might also have something to share is this: Do you ever get emails that are so rude that it takes away from the fun of being on this site?
How fitting that I came across this thread after reading one of the most offensive emails ever...
The title was "I Think You're Beautiful" and it simply said "I will pay you to have sex with me". I wrote him back a scathing email, then he sends back, while I'm typing, "Please". What the hell? I am so offended by this, it's ridiculous. Apparently, I'm a ****ing hooker. Needless to say BLOCK!!! What a goof. | |

You think that's something- I've got a couple that will really knock your socks off. Circa 1997 I was doing personals at One & Only and had responded to an add placed by a lady from Pittsburgh who was apparently desperately seeking Richard Gere because she said so and would not talk to me until I put up a photo- which I was in the process of doing. She dropped me before I did have something I could upload.
Second one happened a few nights ago when I was talking on IM. Had a lady who kept asking me about a family that lives near me- apparently it was that of an Ex and she was trying to screen me to make sure I was not connected with them. I had never heard of them and said so. Then asked why and she told me the above. Then I said- ok- as in we can move on from that topic and apparently I offended her because she dropped me promptly!
These incidents are actually more amusing than disheartening. They kinda make my day!

Posted: 2/22/2008 8:10:01 PM | I only have received one from a "gentleman" that I had emailed back n forth to about three times. He IM'd me and I refused his IM as I was a work and the computer has blocks installed. He sent me a brutal email calling me a "player" and other choice words. I tried to email him back to explain I couldn't accept IM's at work but he blocked me.
I noticed his profile was deleted a couple of hours later .... (I dodged a bullet there I think) | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 8:45:07 PM | I was on another site and someone asked me when I was going to lose weight. I am not overweight to begin with. That knucklehead either needs new glasses or likes anorexics Also he only wrote the question in the subject line with nothing in the text. I know dogs who are smarter than that doofus!
I just hit the block button and moved on. Idiots like that aren't worth my time.
To paraphrase William Shatner I would tell such people who waste their lives sending dumb emails: "Get a life"!! But these kinds of idiots aren't worth even bothering to reply. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 2:00:06 AM | The worst I ever got was in an IM conversation with someone, who because I wouldn't go to a cabin to sleep with him, (someone I was not with and only met once), then told me as my mom had just recently passed away, that if she was anything like me, she deserved to die. I did block him as you can say whatever you want about me (and many guys do, calling me loser, anorexic, deserve to be on welfare, don't deserve love because I am diabetic), but if you attack someone I personally live every day left of my life for even tho she is gone, then you have gone too far.
It seems the attacks on me are very personal, because I am pretty vulnerable these days, and don't go out that often or date that often. I am often alone, cause I am depressed, but people who want to get laid (which you find a lot of online), don't seem to understand that state of mind. It's sad. I haven't had a b/f in a long time, and based on the attitudes of a lot of men, not sure if I ever want to again. So yeah, the meanness does get to you after a while.

Posted: 2/23/2008 5:12:42 AM | To the OP:
My experience has been that posting a contribution to a thread can bring out the worst in people. I've found lack of manners to be common on these boards. Playing the person instead of contributing properly to debate or discussion is evident on almost thread, unfortunately. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 5:26:43 AM | I seem to get rather a lot of complaint emails as a first email from guys saying something or other about my profile isn't good..whether it be wording, photos..whatever.
I even went to get a profile review the other week to see if there was anything in there to noticeably prompt someone to comment..but there wasn't.
I've had quite a few nasty comments about my profile and it happens week in week out..so far I'm not put off but it's becoming a pain..I used to validate myself..but I just delete the messages now.
I don't know why people actually bother doing it unless it's just to get a rise out of someone. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 5:27:47 AM | I am rude in the forums at times. *gasp*
If I smell a troll, or an attention seeker... Or if someone is so blatantly stupid that it is too obvious to miss... Sometimes I will not be able to help myself.
More often than not, lately, I just don't even log in anymore. If I can avoid being annoyed,
why wouldn't I?
I used to get rude emails when I had a polite profile.
I fixed that. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 6:03:02 AM | meow. I'm with H.Cats on this one. My "Nicey Nicey" profile looked like butthead bait. I still get rude emails from an occasional pompous svengali trying to "fix me". HA. Good luck with that.
I'm sorry, OP, if you're getting rude emails from women. On a dating site, one has to expect that the ratio of smarmy people is proportionate to the ratio of smarmy people in the real world. We can safely assume it's even higher on a free site...because people feel they have nothing to lose - and sending a rude email may, for some, be revenge for what a previous interest has said to them. I got some pretty rude emails on here who later whined that I'd deleted them. PFFFT. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 9:15:20 AM | I have on my profile that I don't have kids and don't want any kids...I once had a woman write to me saying that I was obviously barren and no man would want me. At the time I also had a few pics of my various pets, and she said they were "probably my lovers". Rather politely worded for an insult really, and kudos to her for that.
Also had a guy write and say that any woman who didn't want kids was a waste of space on the planet. He tied that in with something I had on my profile about having pet chickens and liking snakes, and he said he was going to kill one chicken and one snake every day as punishment for me not having children. On his profile he said he was a nice guy seeking a loving relationship with a good woman. I really feel, in the name of honesty and all, that he should have listed 'psychotic episodes of vengeful animal slaughter' in his interests section, and suggested 'taking you to a fertility testing clinic to determine your worth' for his first date preference. Any woman would be lucky to have such a man.
I'm bemused by it more than anything. It's clearly their problem and it needn't take away the aspects of this site that are enjoyable. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 9:27:02 AM | I sent a guy a very polite thanks but no thanks email and said I did not think we had a lot in common but best wishes etc, he sent the following response ......
That's o.k Was wondering why you never got close enough to marry ?? and now i know!!Do you really think you are all that? lol. from someone worth ten times what you are !!Goodluck! your going to really need it!!! you will see!!xx
I sent a response saying that I found his comments hurtful and no I don;t think im all that and just being respectful in replying etc ... I then got this back !!!!!
single you say
And what do you think your email was like to read then!! exactly you don't know the first thing about me and what i like so what a stupid comment! I think you did yourself a favour never getting married as 70% of british people are now split up with kids! Who the poor little sods are now dragged into the mess!! Everyone is now fighting their own corner because they have already lost most of what they had and that's sad!!And guess what british blokes have now wised up to being shafted so now it's stalemate! sad but true! And Britain is now completly messed up dept and splitups! Negative i know but the truth! So i suppose what is the point in staying in Britain none! Everyone is now looking for perfection and even when they think they have found it something pops up!!I'm really sorry if i hurt your feelings but us blokes in Britain are just fed up being treated as sperm doners!! | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 9:34:15 AM | HerdingCats...no way you are opinionated..ReALLY I found you so very true,that scares many people PattyPickle...you've just encountered a little boy who didn't get his way..I think that you sent a very considerate response..Naamah...if it's your desire to not have children the heck with others,there's many who have kids but SHOULDN"T..again some can't stand others being true...by the way I'd want you there are some who have children that shouldn't have just as in life,there are people that you can just do without..but here you can turn them OFF | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 11:23:41 AM | Thanks caring2sharing for your wise words but the daft thing about the silly sod was that I do not mention anything about children on my profile and do in fact want children one day (hopefully!!!!)
I just worry about his anger issues and someone actually meeting him in case he turns !!!! | |
