Nothing visible but definitely potentially identifiable to a person from Denton, and that is as much as I will say. Shit story really but sticks in the mind because of the unusual circumstances.

I bet she was feeling luckyThere’s an apt line in Dirty Harry that springs to mind: ‘a man’s got to know his limitations!’

I'm the same mate, Blue ones are more tolerable, but anything I see with YNWA, LFC or a liverpool shirt, scarf,picture, candle, chicken foetus, it's an instant X or delete, no matter how gorgeous they look.Not exactly a mate of mine, more a mate of a mate I know split up with his Mrs and joined dating site, went on a few dates , by the way he’s your typical rag anyway arranged a date when he met her turns out she’s scouse promptly told her he hates dippers and left
Always go with your gut instinct mate, even top mental health professionals say to trust it as it's literally an over-ride, a fail-safe to protect us from when our brain and "nether regions" are swamped with various chemicals like Oxytocin, it's a self preservation thing, the transit van was a dead give away ;-).
Just for PaulChapo, I'll relate the story of "Shellsuit Girl" I mentioned earlier, well, can't remember the website, but came across this gorgeous looking Mediterranean girl, film star good looks, deep brown eyes, dark hair, slim but curvy, mid 30's, very much like Morena Baccarin actually, 6-7 photo's so wasn't like she was a "one photo wonder", only lived a few miles away, and SHE contacted me.
We got chatting and she seemed ok, even spoke on the phone although she admitted beforehand she was pissed and knackered, seemed a bit odd a couple of times but I thought fuck it she's pissed and knackered and that's probably why, so we arranged to meet up for a coffee a day or so later.
On to the day, messaged her to say I was there, she replied she was on her way, by this time, I'd kind of worked out the direction she'd be coming from so thought I'll park a little bit further away, just in case so I could make a quick getaway, so I'm sat there in the car waiting, trying to get a good look, then all of a sudden, some skinny old Hag in her late 60's comes hobbling round the corner and I'm thinking " piss off out of they way you old bag, I can't see her coming round the corner", so I'm there, adjusting my position in the seat trying to get a better view, still no sign.
Eventually I decide to message her, thinking it's been a wind up, and next thing, there's a tap on my window, it's this skinny old Hag, obviously a recovering pisscan and drug addict, smiling with one tooth (no doubt to open up her tinnies) and haggard to fuck, so I'm thinking 'WTF are you mithering for' ? "Hiya, it's me" she proudly proclaims, me, I'm completely lost for words, WTF do I do, I'm too much of a gentleman to just whizz off, so a million and one things are going through my mind, shit shit shit ! If anyone asks just say your her carer, social worker, a manager of a Freak show, recruiting, fuck fuck fuck !
Anyway, I eventually went for a coffee, felt pretty cruel to just drive off, drank it in about 5 minutes, made my excuses and left, on the way home I was racking my brain, what have I missed, how could I have been taken in so easily, WTF, so went back onto the site trying to find clues, and there it was, the Pink and Turquoise shellsuit should have given it away, they were popular in the late 80's early 90's, so her pictures were AT LEAST 30 years old !
Oddly, she messaged me later that day asking if she could see me again, so I just said she wasn't what I was looking for, then she starts harassing me saying I'd not even taken her out on a proper date yet to find that out , WTAF !
I'm much more careful these days, but that's one of the more humorous ones, or maybe you just had to be there and witness it unfold.
Ha ha brilliant, although it probably wasn't so funny at the time.
That reminds me of the story doing the rounds a few years ago, no idea if it was ever true.
This guy starts this pen pal relationship with a woman in America. It goes on for months, letters, pictures exchanged, long phone calls until they decide to meet. He flies to America and he's going to stay for a months holiday. When he arrives there's a woman waiting to meet him with a placard with his name on it. She looks like an older version of the woman he's been speaking to and he presumes maybe her mother has come to pick him up. By the time they get to her house he has realised the awful truth the woman has duped him,
the pictures she sent were years old. They have a big heart to heart, his gut instinct is to try and get an earlier flight back but eventually she persuades him to stay and apologises, saying he may as well enjoy his holiday and he can stay in the spare room as friends. Against his better judgment he does.
The holiday is going okay and she is decent company and a good tour guide but he has an uneasy feeling he can't shake off. One day she has to go out and leaves him alone. He goes into the garage to get some more beers from the spare fridge in there. Now alone he decides to have a mooch around and hidden under some stuff he discovers a huge working freezer. Puzzled as to why it appears to be hidden he wants to look in it but his gut instinct tells him not to. Eventually he does and to his horror there's a dead body in there. He calls the police, the woman is arrested and after questioning himself he is released. It turned out the dead body was a relative of the woman and she kept him in there to continue claiming his welfare. No idea if the story is true but it amused me.

Not heard of that one specifically mate, but watched enough of those 'Real life crimes', 'To catch a predator' and 'Catfish' series to think it'd be highly likely.

Love this thread, some great stories

I think some people enter such dating sites in a half hearted way and bend the truth a little. All of a sudden they connect well with someone over the phone and are then in a dilemma. Do they cut and run or meet hoping the new found connection they have found can overcome the older pics they have used? Although some of the stories are hilarious I guess there is a bit of a sad side too.

Sorry
Apx 10 years ago I got talking to a woman on Plenty of Fish, she seemed quite nice and was dead keen to meet me so we arranged to meet in Lancaster (I was in Barrow and she was from The Wirral). When I got off the train she looked great and was really affectionate and I thought “Happy Days!” We walked to her car and she went to open the boot to put her coat in and just then the wind blew her skirt up to reveal stockings, suspenders and no knickers! I couldn’t believe it but she just flashed me a smile. However she then says “I’m sorry to have to tell you on such short notice but my daughter is in the car as my sitter let me down”. I tried to play casual and said it would be fine, we could take her to an indoor play area I knew and we could chat while she played (she was about 4). This went ok so we then agreed to go to get a meal, but because of the kid we went to Pizza Hut. We got seated and the kid comes and sits on my knee! Again I try to be casual, doing the colouring sheet with her etc but then she suddenly starts calling me Daddy!!! Her mum is doing nothing to stop her so what do I say? I tell her my name but she’s persisting with Daddy and asking if I’m coming home with them!
By now I’m getting very freaked so make my excuses that I need to get the train home soon. We drive back to the station and the woman leaves her daughter alone in the car and walks with me to the platform where she suddenly grabs me, sticks her tongue in my mouth and puts her hand down the back of my jeans. Thank Christ the train arrived while this was going on and I escaped.
She pestered for a while for us to meet again but I couldn’t face that again.
