The grubby money-makers behind those "flirty" text services you see advertised on telly late at night must feel like they're taking candy from a baby.
There must really be men gullible and lonely enough to think that gorgeous girls grooving away on a dancefloor are breathily awaiting a little message from them.

Otherwise these companies wouldn't be in business.

But as soon as some sad loser s
ends a relatively inexpensive message to what he imagines is one of those lovely young lasses giggling away with her mates on the night out, he gets inundated with a flurry of replies that he has to pay a heck of a lot more to receive. The harsh reality is that it's all a very costly fantasy.

And the texts are very probably being sent by some odious little male creep who is laughing his head off as he dreams up his steamy little responses.
