Complete and utter disregard for any and all punctuation so it makes it very very hard to read and sounds like one big rant on Jeremy Kyle and then you feel all out of breath trying to read it so by the end of their message you decide it's all too much effort and need a lie down and then when you lie down your heads still whirling so you need a paracetamol or 10

Single or two word mails recently received, Hi bbe

And in the past just, hi

What are you supposed to reply to that? I sometimes send them a message of equal length and thoughtfulness back, if they catch me in a good mood.

Hi m8 wot u into?

1. One liners just reek of cut and paste desperation.

2.I don't like being referred to as mate, even by friends.

3. I don't converse in text speak, I am 42 not 12.

4. Read the effin' profile, it's clear enough!

To be honest, I don't get aywhere enough mail for it to get repetitive enough where I'd say it "grates on me"!

The only thing though, is when I get a message that just says "Hi" and I click through to the profile and it's Blackoed out with very little on it!

Other than that I'm not really bothered unless it's 100% text speak in which case I'd respond with "pardon?" as I have done quite few times!

I've had something like that a couple of times...I wince at spelling mistakes and bad grammar but it doesn't stop me replying if he/she/they take my fancy; I don't mind the odd LOL or even OMG, but unreadable txt spk msgs more often than not end up binned and finally the good old "hi" or "x" as an initial message will never get a reply from me unless preceded by a joke

The ones that annoy me tend to be the replies to my own messages insofar as if I say I can meet within these time periods (and give a choice) they come back with something differerent.

Let's not forget the ones which start 'I let myself quietly in to your house' creepy much!

Let alone the fact that I don't accom.

The messages from people who are miles away - I'm unlikely to arrange a meet with someone from the south coast or the wilds of Scotland, it would be a long way to travel for a coffee!

And the ones who call me baby, or even worse babygirl!!! Uuuuuurghhhh!

1, cut and paste fantasies

2, overuse of cutesy names like hun, babe, darling CRINGE

3, 'I've just read your profile and it's brilliant. (It's not actually, it says I'm not meeting and when I am I'll do the looking which begs the question why you've messaged me in the first place!)

4, 'I know I'm slightly out of your age range but if you don't ask (20 years is not slightly, you're older than my dad! NO!)

5, messages regarding forum posts that could quite easily have been posted on the thread!

When I receive an arrogant looking email from couples or women like 'face pics?' when they clearly haven't sent me one either, meaning they haven't read my profile...

Or 'lol' and that kinda stuff....jeez, do adults actually feel the need! Saying that, 'haha' is fine so it's just personal preference x

1. "hey babe/hun/baby, you're so hot, love to fuck/meet a girl like you". RUDE. Sometimes I pretend to be Reggie and send them something similar back... that usually gets rid of them.

2. We used to have on our profile that Reggie reads most of the messages so then we were inundated with "hey Reggie mate...."

3. Guys who think that by pretending they have spoken to us before "Hey, long time no speak..." that we'll fall for it and message back.

4. "Hi". What do you want me to do with that???

5. People who try too hard to prove they have read the profile by pretty much typing it back at us in a message.

Maybe I'm just hard to please...
