Dear fellows,

Despite my profile clearly stating I am a male, I am getting PMs from gents with their numbers..

As these guys cant speak much of English, can any1 (who is probably familar with this phenomena) explain me what the heck this is?!?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Isn't that the same guy you where asking an exchange numbers in the forum you made, "Going to Umrah with tattoo"? or more gents sending you numbers because of what they had read in the forum. Anyway if you don't have any interest just ignore and don't send any replies the more you communicate the more you will be bothered or else send PM to someone from moderators and explain the situation and they will do the rest. :)

I normally live in North London and I'm surrounded by Gooners and the other lot but my footballing sympathies lie elsewhere (although I admire the Emirates Stadium greatly and my next door neighbor is Frank McLintock's son and I've met Frank many times - lovely man off the field).  No, I was subtly referring what could be read into the phrase 'Arsenal fan' ;-)

lol. wish I could upload the image of the PM I got from this geezer I am on about. You'd laugh your head off!

How come Am getting none of these PM !! am I not handsome enough for you guys out there !!??:sosad::sosad::sosad: loool

It’s simple, they are either looking for “love” or “friendship with other guys”.

Usually westerners and Philippinoes men attract the guys looking for “love” for being different so don’t take it personal.

They could be bored guys looking for male friends to go out with and do some Activates since its much easier here to have same sex friends than opposite sex ones for all the known reasons.

Geoffchase said that he is from North London and he is a guy and your first reaction was let’s meet up!! …see my point

When I first joined this forum,I sent massages to all welsh (males and females) out there in jeddah since I lived in Wales shortly and have lots of great Welsh friends back in Swansea. My messages were ignored by all, but without even trying, I ended having 3 new friends via this forum (two guys and a girl) and our friendship is getting stronger and stronger.

I see your point mate, but Id still not go out sending out my personal mobile phone number.. Maybe its cultural thing here to exchange numbers? :0

ahmadaq

mmmm… yeah I think that giving out your number to people that you don’t really know is not a big of a deal for many men here.

The way they see it, is that it will save time and make the arrangement for any sort of activities with the other person easier.

the way I can explain it is
1- he want to know westerners (least likely without a reason)
2- they want to advertise a "service"
3- they want to "service" you themselves

either way ignore ignore ignore
