So, I’m still hanging out on a certain dating site. At this point, I don’t really care about the dating. I’m far to busy to do that. Now I’m just there to hang out in the forums and to generally harrass people. If someone interesting pops up? Great.
I get completely ridiculous emails/IM’s at times. I answer most of them just for the heck of it. Here’s just a sample of a couple of emails from yesterday:
Too Dumb For Words
Background: This is an email from a 47 year old guy that appears to be a trashman. And is a “strong black man”. (I can’t stand that shit!)
HIM: Besides being happy, you look amazing beautiful…. smiles…
GeekGirl: Thank you.
HIM: So how is your day going ? and what lucky man is having you for Valinetimes ?
GG: My day is going quite well. However, I don’t do Valentines Day. Nor does any man ever “have” me.
HIM: And why is that ? are they cheap ? are they lacking in spiritual love, or was it just a sex thing with them.. I dont understand right now, I atleast call my friends and wish them whatever event it maybe special to them,, I know, I’m different. right ? Well im in need of a special person that i can do that for again, someone who appriciates a caring man, A person that loves to smile, have fun and let her hair down when she feels ready, A long long lasting relationship.. Who is this lady (READACTED) ? You look and sound in your messages very nice and concerned..Can you take me away from this boaring, dull life ? And may i attemp to sweep you off your feet ? If iterested please call [redacted].. And no, I never met anyone on line !! Charles…. MUWAAH…
GG: No.
HIM: No to which one….
GG: No across the board. I don’t celebrate Valentines Day. It’s a superfluous holiday. And, no I’m not interested in taking you away from your “boaring” dull life. If you don’t want a “boaring” life stop hanging out with boars!
Good luck in your search!

GG: What does your second sentence mean? “and i hope am not hurting any gentleman contacting you”
I would love to reply, but that makes no sense.
HIM: YES BOSS…
WELL LOOKING AT HOW CUTE YOU ARE IN THIS PICS,ITS GOING TO BE VERY HARD TO BELIEVE A BEAUTY LIKE YOU WILL BE ON A DATE WEBSITE,SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WILL BE COOL TO TALK TO YOU WITHOUT YOUR MAN BEEN HURT…DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR…THANK YOU FOR EVEN WRITTING
GG: I see….Why are you shouting at me?
HIM: Do you care for a chat?..i love your ego
[redacted]
GG: Not really. I don’t like to talk to men that assume I’m a liar right from the start.
Obviously those 2 guys never wrote me back.

Why am I sat here shaking my head, and thinking “if I was in her position, I would have a stock reply damning the lack of authorship, grammar, punctuation, tact, or honesty in their communication”…
Perhaps I’m turning into an old curmudgeon.

It’s really annoying and it seems to be all that I attract. Illiterate men. It’s quite odd. Maybe I should go out with one of them just to see if it’s as bad as I imagine it would be.
