Chthonic's somewhat shocked friend writes
I am a slightly overweight, happily married male in his early forties.

However, I have - in the name of research and the prosect of getting a cheap laugh - put contact ads on various dating websites pretending to be a woman of varying degrees of morality, mankiness, desperation and number of limbs to find out what level mankind will stoop to get a shag.

Result: very, very low.

I also did not realise it is considered de rigueur to send a cock shot with the first email.

They are, I find, not even put off by raging sarcasm. My most popular fake advert read simply:

Wanted: Man, o.n.o.
