grrrr
I've spent my share of time on internet dating sites with varying results. None of my encounters led to marriage and babies but it must be said, I met some genuinely nice, attractive men who, although they didn't work out as my personal Mr Right, are top blokes. Some I have remained friends with. Not everyone on those sites is a moron or a weirdo.

...

Just most of them.

Leaving aside minor irritants like the fact that most of them can't use the vowels on the keyboard other than "u", the worst that come to mind are:

- the "semi-professional photographers" who open with "u r gorgeous, u cud be a model, if u come to my studio I'll help u do a free portfolio." Refusal leads to a barrage of insults.

- the ones on social sites who ignore the designation "in long-term relationship" on your profile and send the cock shots anyway. And are trying to be serious rather than pains in the arse.

- the ones who send a barrage of abuse on being told that you're not prepared to send them nude pics of yourself, nor get a webcam, nor give out your phone number for their gratification.

The winner, however, was the guy who sent a message to my OKcupid account, saying something along the lines of "wow, you're the sexiest girl I've seen on love@lycos..."
