You know whats interesting…the more time I find myself with
the lazier I seem to become. What’s with
that? I can’t imagine I’m the only one
with this “problem” so please someone, enlighten me. This is essentially my backhanded explanation
as to why I haven’t updated in a while. I
really need to get better with this.
So let’s get right to it shall we….before I start talking
about guys who have or may actually score dates with me I’d like to tell you
about this serious pain in the ass I just had no patience for on POF. Anyone who has ever done the online dating
thing knows that there are often a lot of messages which go unanswered. Some people deal with this better than others
and just let it go, knowing its not the first or the last time there won’t be a
response. Some people will bitch and
moan to their friends…others may email you again to see if the second time is a
charm…but then you have others who email you back to interrogate you on why you
didn’t respond. Do I really need to
justify why I don’t want to email you?
Who is this helping here? Its not
going to make you feel better and its only going to make me seem like a
bitch. For example I got this email the
other day:
“So. I wrote you an interesting email. I asked you questions. I avoided
complimenting you like crazy
even though you're stunning. You looked at my profile and deleted the email.
Any reason? I'm still a human being even though i'm not a 6'3 Abercrom-boi who waxes his chest hair, promise.”

eYeah I know, you don’t even have to say it. Well, this poor sucker caught me on a bad day
because normally I would either ignore this email as well or reply with some
sort of sweet and sensitive rejection.
Instead, he received this:
“Ok so we have to do this the awkward way huh...
...the email you wrote me, which you so presumptuously assumed I deleted went a little something like this:
"So where's the best pizza place in NYC? My vote is for Rose's in Penn Station LIRR floor"
Sure you asked A question, one single solitary question...NOT questions as you say...but do you know how many people asked the same exact question? I can't walk down the street in the city without being stopped by a tourist asking the same question...so Bravo, you're as interesting as an anonymous tourist. Frankly I wouldn't exactly define that as "interesting"...and if you do there is one example of why we are probably not compatible. it takes a lot more for me to be interested.
Second, you ask for a reason why I looked at your profile and didn't respond...well, you are a human being but you are not one who I am attracted to. i also don't appreciate being stuck into a cliche of only looking for "Abercrombie" model types, however hot they may be.
And lastly, for a final reason I prefer to date someone of a similar background to mine.
Hopefully this answers your question, validates your humanity and gives you piece of mind that even though I'm "stunning" it’s possible I'm not a bitch and I'm just not interested.”

So there you have it…that is the bitchiest I think I’ve ever…well, no
wait, there has definitely been worse…so it’s the bitchiest I’ve been in a long
time. I don’t really feel bad about it…but
feel like I should. He emailed me a few
times after that saying how he’s ugly, he knows he can’t change that but what
should he do…blah blah. Frankly, it was borderline
pathetic but also didn’t seem possible that someone 100% whole heartedly would
be blurting this out to a perfect stranger who just in no uncertain terms
turned you down. Anything is possible
but deep down I hope this wasn’t serious…if it were, I’d have to speculate if
low self esteem plays a part in his lack of success.
Anyhow, I was going to lump this all together with a few other things
but in the interest of no making an extremely lengthy post I’m going to separate
them. Stay tuned!!
