I just received an unsolicited email from someone I don't know stating that my profile is "spam" because my picture is too perfect. People never cease to amaze me at how rude they can be. I wonder why someone cares if my picture is real or not. What would be my point of lying? I have too much to do with my life to spend time wasting making false profiles online. People say things online that they never would in person. What happened to respect? Before I send something to someone or respond, I always think, is this something I'd say to this person face to face? I put a picture up I had taken by a photographer when I took my son for his updated yearly pictures. Because it's not me holding a camera at a mirror with my top off it makes it spam? Come on guys....what happened to the do unto others and general respect?

I am sorry you had to experience one of the less couth men around. I'm sorry to say that our culture does not seem to value respect very much anymore... except the 'respect' gained by fear. Don't be sad, there are a lot of nice people still around, and that makes dealing with all the not so nice ones more than worthwhile.
I hope you meet some nice ones!

My goodness, your pic looks great to me and you look absolutely beautiful. Ummm, as far as the photos of you with your top off in front of a mirror go, can I get in line in first place, please? I promise, I'll ONLY examine your topless pics with an eye to judging the photographic and artistic merits of the photos and give absolutely NO thought to any purient interest that the photos might stir in me.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the replies and do believe there are good guys out there to meet. You are kind and I still stick with the theory of what's the point of lying if you're going to meet someone who will figure it out as soon as they see you!

you can email them back, correct and chastise them.
can also report them if they are rude and impolite.

sorry to hear. sometimes people are just inconsiderate.

flowerforyou

*Laughs* you're too funny! I'm afraid there are no topless pics of me around that I am aware of. You never know what may come back to haunt you but I appreciate your offer to critique :)

I went back and forth between deleting and responding but finally decided I just had to mention back that at least I was clothed. Quite frankly anyone that sends an email like that isn't someone I want to get to know anyway but regardless, I just brought it up just to mention that I am still of the belief of some honesty and respect to one another even online.

not sure why some people want to or find the need to be rude.

Maybe he was trying to say you are very pretty, but wanted to say it in a different way, and it just back fired on him.

Nice for you to give him the benefit of the doubt but basically the message said my pic was to perfect and had to be fake/spam...I like that you're trying to find the good in people, however...it will bring you great friendships!

the pic looks real to me, looks like u scanned it then posted it is all. and dont worry, we all get emails like that, some people just have nothing better to do with their time. And its easy for them to be like that online. U are right, he prolly would never have said anything rude to your face.

Your pic looks real and you look real. Don't listen to those who say those negative things.

Why would people waste their time to say stuff like that? Yeah, block the guy, it looks like a real picture. Nice picture, too.
