Hey, Old Guy with the Skull Wrist Band and Skull ring, if “Did I see you on SuchandSuchDatingWebsite.com?” is your idea of a conversation opener or a pick up line – you seriously need to rethink your strategy. You should not have been so surprised by my “NO! – and I’m not interested, no thanks, piss off, and don’t even talk to me” response.
I hardly ever venture out into the world. After encountering you today, I feel like never going out again. —You Seriously Creeped Me Out

Wait, wait, wait… a girl actually responded to a guys message on a dating website?!
Fuck right off! I call BS
The Captain still has several hundred pending reply’s to his messages.
Hay, that was our new Pope you so rudely blew off.
Go back to Ontario you stuckup stankybitch.
lol, captain needs his wheaties this morning. she was out in the real world and encountered this dude who asked her the question.
don’t give up hope, my daughter met her ‘forever guy’ on POF.
Ahhh, can’t believe the trolls of Plenty Offish venture out in the real world. These gals/guys sign in and wait for prey and would not have a clue how to socialize and interact with another human face-to-face.
Honestly, wouldn’t it be nice to get out and enjoy an evening and strike up a conversation with someone rather than emailing to and fro with a cyber-dog?
Yeah, I’ll admit to that. I have been a bit caustic lately, Good Dog. I’m in a great mood tho! I just feel the need to subject others to my imagined ire 🙂
I hope you don’t believe all POF users are Trolls, Koda? The Captain doesn’t exhibit the social cluelessness that you speak of.
“Honestly, wouldn’t it be nice to get out and enjoy an evening and strike up a conversation with someone rather than emailing to and fro with a cyber-dog?” – Yes. But that’s not always logistically/chronologically/socially/emotionally/financially/theoretically possible.
Well OB if you let something like that make you not want to go outside, then you have some serious mental problems. Go seek help now.
fucking skin sites are just that, and the rest are just as bad. ebaloney and the other stupid sites only draw the dregs of the worls. what the hell did you expect, hearts and flowers from some dude/ette looking for a quickie?
Are you agoraphobic OP? What is the issue with going outside? The world isn’t full of people with skull rings, just stay away from the biker bars and the bus.
You turned down The Punisher?
So what? It is only his question. I wouldn’t feel offended, dating sites are big business now. Lots of people meet on dating sites. Answer his question and move on. He might me ok. Who knows till you meet him. IN PUBLIC of course.
Some guys on POF are really freaking weird.
I’ve had to block several guys; for asking me the size of certain body parts.Another became pissed when I told him I couldn’t meet him.He started to send messages calling me a bitch.
OP you have to get out to socialize with others.Even if you just go to a coffee shop alone,you would be around other folks.Eventually you’ll meet someone to your liken.
Good luck OP
PLAY SAFE.
Boru but some guys “like big butts and cannot lie”.
True enough, Tim. But they can be classy about it.

k so one creepy guy hits on you and you’re ready to say goodbye to the light of day? Grow a set OP.
nothin’ creepier than a skull ring & matching wrist band OB
~;p LOL
Hey, at least he picked a theme and stuck with it.
That said… Skulls, flames, Asian symbols, and dragon tattoos/clothing are super lame, and should be ridiculed at every opportunity. Doubly so, if there are flames AAAND dragons on display.
Imagine the poor guys reaction to this, LOL. Poor guy thinks up what he thinks is a “conversation starter”, allbeit one of the wost I’ve heard of, with someone he thought was attractive, then… BAM!!!!… instacrazy!!! He probably chuckled all day, as he hosed out his van.
Let me guess, if he was good looking you would have been swooning, right? It’s a shallow world, if you don’t have the looks not many people will give you a chance.
…Lol…Steve your on fire this evening.lol..pretty funny stuff. 🙂
Between you and Reg I’ve been roaring with laughter which doesn’t happen often. 🙂
If it was a hot guy, I bet the response would be kinder. It WAS just a question, how about answering with some grace. Even if the person is ugly or old or fat, it should still be flattering that people want to hit on your crank ass.
