I met a weirdo on the interwebNow, I've met lots of nice people on the internet - but it's the weird ones that stick in your mind. Such as the guy who borrowed a film off me in Cambridge and turned out to be so smelly, so hairy, so nervous and, well, so downright needy that I've never bothered getting it back.
Tell us about the strange people you've met on the internet.

Avoiding weirdos on Match.comI was on Match off and on a couple years ago - I actually met Setimrette there! So it does work.
Anyway, after looking at 100s of profiles, you get pretty good at spotting which one are real and which ones will get you on spam or Russian bride lists. To Match's credit, if you report them they are good about taking them off.
Beware of ones with usernames like 'crayzee funee grrrl' and 'lonelee 4 luv.'
If you click the photo, sometimes you can see more of the pic - like the one where her boyfriend was sticking his tongue in her ear (why would you post that?).
Also look out for the ones that fill their profiles with song lyrics - such as the one with all the words to "I'm a bitch".
One woman started off by saying "I'm really 37, but I said I was 32 so I would come up on your "25 - 35" search." Next.
From women I've talked to, there are a lot more weirdo men on-line than weirdo women. I think there are armies of creepy guys out there who respond to EVERY profile. I think our best answers to this QOTW will come from women, cuz us men are losers.
