Ok, what makes men thing that we want to see them all bare chested or half naked in their profile and if you are going to post a picture, be sure that the ex girlfriend is completely cut out of it... and when you IM someone don't let the first sentence be "Wanna see me take off my clothes" My response to that IM was "Wanna see me hurl?"
I finally signed off the dating sites because the responses I was getting was... "wanna be my f-buddy?" Anyone else frustrated by the lack of manners and romance of dating? Kim

Not sure what dating sites you are on, but the free ones, such as CL - i see a lot of that.

I actually had one guy send me a picture of HIS "whatever"! I was disgusted! I sent him a response that said maybe if he treated a lady like a lady he would have better luck getting a woman.
I did have a couple good dates and even dated someone for 5 months. We are still very good friends, but he still isn't over his ex-girlfriend. I told him that I think we should just be good friends. Kim

Yeah I did Match and they do screen well, but I didn't want to pay for a service. I am on a free one but it is difficult to weed out the wacko's. I will instant message with someone and the moment they get wierd with the im I block them. Usually it only takes about 5 minutes to find out their motives. I am considering going back to Match. Kim

I've posted on Craigs List (free site) and while I have received a few rude emails, I have received hardly any inappropriate ones or nude pictures (two, I think - one of a guy in a thong taking a picture of himself in the mirror and another doing this whole Greek god picture on his couch...naked).
