Posted: 1/17/2006 8:34:43 PM | You know I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is wrong with ppl to be honest..
Lately I have been getting the most outrageous emails..and from people I don't even know..I'm assuming it's someone I know just using a different name..why do that ? Like really if you don't have the balls to say something to someone as yourself why bother saying it at all? I have trouble understanding why anyone would be that rude for no reason what so ever..I could understand it if I knew these people and what exactly it was that I was suppose to have done to them, but when I ask they just cuss me out..
If you are going to say something to someone, use the name I know you by, and back up what the hell it is your talking about..
until then I'll just sit here confused and tryin to figure people out..*sigh*
I guess I'm doin the same thing by changin my name and taking down my pic, but it was to avoid the jerks..so I could enjoy the forums in peace..I'm not emailing ppl moronic insults.. | |

I don't know if you would call this one rude/crude or both but this happened not long after I joined POF. I received a message from some guy who gave a rather graphic description as to what he would like to do to my body. In the midst of this description he said "you won't have to do anything but lay there" I couldn't believe the balls on this guy. While this message did not dignify a reply, I did respond telling him
(a) honey, if a man was going to do those things to me I'd be doing more than laying there
(b) that he could have at least started the message with Hi, how you doing today
Then I blocked him. | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 10:44:29 AM | Just moments ago I recieved an email that read like this:
nice rack. really
I laughed and sent this:
Thank you. Really.
Rude emails only have as much effect as you allow them to have. I've gotten worse. I've gotten unsolicited pictures of private parts I would be just fine never having seen. But I take it all in stride and laugh. Some people just have no couth...it's amusing. | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 11:04:40 AM | Well... I'd take some pics of my privates and randomly email them too -- but most ladies are probably too busy to open 3 separate attachments just to see the whole thing...
I'm on a roll NOW!!!! | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 3:58:12 PM | | country Hey sweetie, listen you'll always get the odd rude email from someone just because you are "female". Even though I'm with someone I STILL get them occasionally. Right before christmas...boom a BARRAGE of them!! Take your profile down, what's wrong with your man, you must be cheating if you're still here...just total insanity. My sweetie said it's probably because they're desperate at being alone over the holidays. Really, though what nutcase would waste his time writing a woman who's involved? As far as figuring out what's wrong with them or their behavior, why waste the time? They're just rude I don't need to know or wonder any more than that. | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 4:14:55 PM | | Don't let anyone ruin a good experience. Your emotions are your emotions. And strangers and acquiatances shouldn't be able to affect those emotions. These people aren't important enough in your life to affect you emotionally. | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 6:36:44 PM | | I've received the occasional rude ones like something along the lines of me being fat. I think a lot of people join this site just because they think these types of sites are "stupid" and all they get out of it is the joy of putting down every person they can message. I think some of them may also be embarassed about being on the site and just dont know how to react (ya i know, why join then, because secretly they love it!) , and another part of them are just looking for an ego boost, and get that from putting down others. Bullies exist even in the adult world and the best thing to do is ignore them, dont answer them back by defending yourself, just delete it and let your life go on as if you never read that mail. | |

Posted: 3/3/2006 7:39:33 AM | getting a rude email would be better than someone acting one way
and then you go to meet them and find out they
are nothing what they seemed to be.
Its a waste of gas and time to go meet them. | |

I reply with a succint 'not interested' to the rude ones, and a sracastic question about literacy and spelling to the ones with terrible spelling." - hey Tierrah, not real sure you're one to talk about spelling and literacy, as evidenced here. LOL

Posted: 3/4/2006 8:16:38 AM | I recently left POF under my main identity due to a rude email. Had hundreds of friends here, totally addicted to lovely people.......
however...this strangers email was a bullet that took me down
In his profile, he said that he required anyone he dated to be a size seven to a size 10 due to his standards...he wrote to me first..
Wrote him back, said, sorry, but I'm not your type as I don't fit your weight standard..
He wrote again saying:
Good, now I know you are a fat ugly bit**** and why don't you go get something more to eat!
I'm a grown woman, I don't need to travel in places like that...
So, I'm on a long long break now, no more email from here... | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 8:34:00 AM | ^^^^That is really sad to hear midlandgirl
Its to bad that some people when reject lash out so cruely, some intentionally
abusive and showing their true colours. Its a shame that their e-mail can't
be posted or used as a net to catcyh them and banish them off the site.
No one deserves to be treated that way.

I'm sorry you were so badly affected by one person's stupidity and hope that you're recovering. I've had rude emails, too. I guess none of us are immune to them, as ignorant, miserable people are everywhere and they aren't content unless they're tearing other people down just to build themselves up.
I'm sure you already know this, but I'll toss it out in case other people need the info: At the bottom of each profile, right after the contact so-and-so button is a report link. I think you have to be logged in before it shows up though. It's an easy thing to do when you get a nasty email...just check the profile, hit the report link, give the reason why you're doing so, then go back to the email and block the b*stard. Don't forget to delete the email, since you don't want to have to see it every time you check your mailbox. Sometimes it's hard to get crap out of your head, but really, if you don't know the person, why let it impact your life? That person is meaningless and insignificant.
Good luck everyone! | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 10:23:27 AM | | I've only had two rude emails. One from a guy who didn't like the fact that I mentioned women aren't attracted to whiners in the forum. Another from a woman who got offended because I said men and women are different and men select first on looks, women select first on confidence and personality. She said I was a chavanist pig and that women want trophy husbands lol. yeah right. that probably happens once for every 20 times a man gets a trophy wife lol. Women are no worse or better than men we just select for different traits for mating. I was nice to her when I replied though, it must have scrambled her system. I told her that when someone's beliefs are challenged and shown to be incorrect people can sometimes lash out at the messenger. I told her I didn't think she was a bad person. She read the message and deleted. I never heard from her since. | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 10:34:33 AM | I had one very rude email that stands out in my memory. He was attacking me verbally for my political beliefs.
There were a couple of others about my not wanting to date men who are divorced with children (I don't mind widowers with older kids, but the divorce situation with its associated problems is just too much for me). One guy basically trashed me for not being "open minded" about it. I blocked all the rude writers, so now I'm all set. Haven't had any for a while now.
But the good that has come from POF has FAR outweighed the one bad email. I've made new friends, and am talking with a great guy now because of POF. I set up my profile so that both men and women can write to me, and I've met some great women who are friends. The friendships from POF are special and I have enjoyed making friends as well as having the opportunity to meet men through POF.
POF is great, and only a small minority would be nasty enough to send rude emails. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 10:40:31 AM | CountrySugar,
You are by far one of the sweetest, sharpest gals here and I've always enjoyed your take on things. I was really sickened to read what some freaks have written to you (the native comment). Racist, ignorant comments like that can only make me shake my head - but it's scary in the fact that freaks like this feel they're safe to express their racist views through this anonymous means - but they could just as easily be someone you pass on the street or work with. That's scary. Places like this show you what's really out there, that you might not otherwise even know. | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 10:45:19 AM | I've had a wonderful experience since joining. The people I've conversed with in email have been awesome! No rude emails, really, and only one that was offputting.
The internet is a free-for-all for the deranged people who see no consequences to their verbal actions. One must keep that in mind, and treat them as gnats. Just swat them and think nothing more of it. Responding only fuels the fire. It's what they want. If you give them no reaction, they are 100% defeated. | |
