Well, it appears that Yahoo has jumped on the Match.com bandwagon of stripping out people's email addresses in messages to non-paying members.

LOL. Yeah, I had seen that Yahoo seemed to be doing that now too with taking out email addresses. I guess they all want to make the almighty buck.

I think passing on this one might be a good idea. ;-)

Oh my Gosh, i got the same message!! It has to be the same guy...does his profile say he's from maine? I got a message from a 39 year old guy today without a picture saying that people say he looks like owen wilson. It also said he has the 'surfer' thing going on or something and he is finishing up his masters. The weird thing was that I could see his email address...too funny!

Oh....if you're a subscribing member, that's probably why you were able to see his email addy.

Well, it took some guy 4 tries before he was able to send his picture to me. He even claimed that he tried sending it to himself first so he knew it would work! Some people may be a little more challenged in that area...

Wow - I can't believe you two got the same guy. However, I remember lothiriel who used to post out here also got a CL reply from Mr. Handsy. And a girl who used to post out here who lives in Dallas and is now a good friend of mine and I were comparing notes one night and we had gotten a LOT of the same guys on Match!

haha, that is soo funny that we got a message from the same guy. I guess it was bound to happen since we are in the same city and the same age...but still, boston is huge, not to mention this guy is from Maine! So i did take a look at his profile, it's just a peeve of mine when someone doesnt have a picture...so after looking at his profile i got this message:

'I see that you viewed my profile--cool. Where you going to get your Master's?? I will have mine this month. You ever been to Maine. Would love to chat with ya. I was in Boston a month ago on my way to N.Y.'

I cant say i'm interested...he's a little older than what i'm looking for, plus he's in maine...too far. I have his email if you want it though (: haha, doesnt sound like you did though (:
