As long as they are not left in a room with an opp who says they can`t be bothered to read profiles

That WAS a joke ... right ???

It was meant as a conversation starter! Of course I read profiles!
I believe I said something along the lines of, "So where is everyone from? I can't be bothered to read the profiles."
It was meant as an ice-breaker to give everyone in the room at the time a chance to have something to say

As it happens this was supposed to be a bit of light hearted banter to get minx in here as there aren`t that many posts in the chatroom lounge ... but as usual it has all been taken a bit too seriouisly.
In all honesty Flower it's sometimes a bit hard to understand what you're trying to say. Fair enough you meant it as a joke and that's good because I like humour

But when I read it, it came across to me that you were shocked I would say something like that. Maybe if you had used a

instead of a

your intended banter would have come across better ? I simply felt the need to defend my choice of words so that everyone was clear

So now I`d have to say that I do get totally pissed off by people who don`t at least try to check out profiles before chatting to someone . Mrs f never chats and never posts .... this is clearly stated in our profile and it takes one click to find out .
If you want to chat without assuming that you are talking to the female of the couple then fair enough but if you want to know CHECK THE PROFILE.. some people may not say ... but hey !!! it`s a good start !!
I understand where you are coming from with this, I am sure a lot of people have experienced this in the chat rooms at one time or another and it is frustrating, people take the time to create a profile with information on and some dweeb comes along who hasn't bothered to read it, ( I do remember one instance in the room that evening

) and tries to launch into a full-on pull

I am afraid I don't have any easy answer to this
