It's An Egg I Tell Ya!

I laughed so much my ribs were hurting! Once every few months I change the Profile photo on my Instagram and Twitter accounts. I recently changed the Instagram: @stickybear5660 to a photo of an egg, complete with shell.

Within about 1/2 hour I received a private message from some blokey in Africa saying he likes my photo. ''u look loike a veri gorjus glamrus laidee i luv ur jet blak wavi hare and deep brown eyez wot model agunsy u cume from u have a purfic smile my family wuld b greatly honoured 2 have u as my wife and muthur of my cildrun cume to africa, i will mari u'

IT'S AN EGG! Check my Profile photos, you can see I'm blond/grey with blue eyes! I can't imagine any modelling agency taking me on!

Even if I was genuinely interested in him there's no way I'd marry him, his spelling and grammar are absolutely appalling!

As for the ''gorjus glamrus laidee'' bit, no, Mr. African, that's Anne Hathaway you're thinking of! And I bare absolutely no resemblance at all to a egg other than that I'm built like one! Blocked him!

Got to give him credit for trying!

That’s not the way an African would spell I reckon someone having a laff and pretending

I trust you didn’t “bare” anything at all

I got something the other day - minus the 'African' twist - there must be a lot of sad, idiot men about.

My husband used to get presents from patients who insisted he accepted them. One Iranian lady also sent things for me. When she found out we had only girls she sent a perfume with a genuine label that the English translation read"For the sexy making of special baby boys" and a nightie that left nothing to the imagination. It would have been a holy miracle as I had had a hysterectomy

My profile pic on FB is me aged 4 standing in the chicken run.

I too have had offers of marriage…….and the people actually (appear) to exist.

I really laughed at this .
Maybe , this guy is turned by eggs or needs glasses !

I tried Internet dating many moons ago and attracted the attention of a guy , who claimed to be Scottish and in the army .

Right from the beginning his claims seemed completely fake to me .
He never seemed to answer any questions .
Marriage was offered immediately .

Then , he stopped contacting me .

Foolishly , I contacted him .

He said that he was on special manoeuvres and had discovered a massive cache of hidden gold , but needed my bank details in order to retrieve and ship them out and then we could get married !

I wished him luck when I stopped laughing !
