Guys with absolutely no photos contacting us thinking it works,guys sending us friends request despite having never spoke,guys sending the same message that they obviously copy & paste,guys who just send a cock pic,guys who think they can just say “in the area” and we are gonna jump.Basiccally Guys lol.But really some guys wonder why they don’t have much success yet put very little effort into it.

People who are over way over the top complimentary in their messages, that probably sounds harsh but I find it a bit cringey and grovelling. It kind of kills the conversation for me. Much prefer someone slagging me and a bit of banter.

Self-proclaimed 'nice guys'.

Men who will say what they think women want to hear to try and make themselves look good.

People who are clearly trying too hard.

I was actually camming with a guy a while ago, extremely hot...and then he started all the "baby girl" chat and all that mad shit with his tongue which may feel brilliant but looks fucking stupid when you're on cam.

I'd have shot him between the eyes if I could for spoiling things but had to settle for clicking on next...

Endless knob pictures - we think our profile picture is quite humorous rather than a gratuitous penis picture.

Random friend invites without any previous interaction.

Messages asking how are you/how's fab for you - we're always happy and fab is well, fab!

"...you guys...." only one of is male!

Final part of the rant is the guy who asked if I could pee on him while my husband watches. Erm...no! You're wrong in the head!

Apart from that we love this place

I hate it when someone leaves you hanging with "maybe, I'll let you know". Basically stopping you making other plans and usually resulting in no reply and me sitting by myself, because it's too late to make other arrangements. I can take "no, I won't make it", only takes 2 seconds to send it as well x

Hate is too strong a word to use, but I don't like it when you post a meet and people insist on sending you a message with dates and locations that are more suitable for them.

I'm now getting to the stage that people that send me messages like that get a copy and paste message advising them to list their own meet.
