What was I to do?
Posted: 12/19/2006 5:52:54 PM
Angel, I've encountered a couple of people with attitudes/anger issues and what I end up thinking is:

1. They're showing me a damn good reason why we wouldn't get along.

2. They should find a good shrink to help them figure out why it is they have to demonstrate so much anger to a perfect stranger like me.

Now, this loser you had that unfortunate interaction with, you could see coming as soon as he messaged "I guess you are bored then or my pics aren't worth your time" because anyone that would jump to that conclusion - and voice it - is showing their hand that they have a problem. And then when you said he was misreading, but he insisted he wasn't (IOW, he claims to be able to tell YOU what YOU'RE really thinking, really arrogant and assumptive he is), just confirms it.

Glad you got a good laugh out of it. There was once a lady who got annoyed with me because I wasn't interested, and she lashed out at me. I wrote her back to say that her lashing out at me only showed how she wasn't a good match for me and asked her to not write me anymore. Guess what she did? She disrespectfully disregards my request and goes ahead anyway and writes me back two days later - to say that she doesn't think I'm a good match for her!

Some people just have to have the last word. Fine. Let them, if it shuts them up! Ha!

Heavensent... yes i been on and off here for a while and i wasnt judging him by his pics... he is the one who assumed that. Just cuz i didnt say anything dont mean i was judging him. His attitude is what made me judge him.

I told a few friends about him and they all agree either he has some issues or he was having a really bad day lol

I never comment on the pictures... I am not here to reassure women about their looks, I am sure they are secure enough, if not then they are not for me... If like what I see, I will continue chatting with them...

A person not having a picture up has never stopped me from talking to them... that's how I met my G Slash F, and we have been going strong for 8 months now...

Laughs:

It takes all types. You did nothing wrong, he was being a jerk, good thing he showed his true colors.

If a man contacts me without a pic I will request a pic, only fair since I have one for them to see. And yes I have to say that when a pic is sent I usually do not find them my type. I just delete and block. I know it sounds mean but I'm not wasting my time or theirs.

I don't get it , I *never* really comment on pictures, like what are you going to say based on one or two webcam shots anyway?
sounds like he was fishing (no pun intended) for some compliments or has major self esteem issues and needs people to constantly reassure him he looks okay.
That or he just had a bad day
or none of the above
or all three.

consider the source and rise above it

OP::


I have had a guy who had no pix on his profile actually go off on me for ASKING for pix!

He sent me a nice e mail, I answered it, and at the end of the paragraph I asked him to send a pic. He flipped out!
He sent me HORRIBLE e mails, I reported him. It got that bad.

I am not going to throw u a pearl of wisdom, cuz I see u have had enough of that.
Just here 2 comiserate with u, and let u know that it has happened to many of us. Good luck to you!
