Posted: 1/2/2007 7:22:26 PM | I think she will change her mind once she had a date with someone who she clicked with so well in all aspects until she meets them in person. That hour and a half dinner she'll wish was a 15 minute cuppajava instead!
I'm all for the quickie that can turn into longer if we choose...
I still have nightmares over the seafood buffet dinner in Vegas when a gent whom I'd never ate with before, had piled up no less than 5 plates of food when I'd returned to the table with mine. I was horrified to sit there as just the two of us and eat amongst all that food - and he wasn't even a big guy, just tall. Needless to say, we never went out again after that ;-)
So that was my lesson learned years ago *smirk* | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 7:30:29 PM | I've received two of those---or similar for sure! First one, totally out of the blue, FAR out of my search/desired range and soooooooo NOT my type in any way imaginable emails me here, to wit: "you're not attractive enough to be so damn particular here!" to which I simply LOL'd. In replying I pointed out she was not only too far away and everything I did NOT want in a person but she had contacted me!! In no uncertain other selected words I suggest she view herself in a mirror before casting such compliments again.
Second one is from a woman no photo and again very much NOT what I'm seeking but goes on to tell me--without my asking---that she's skeptical and cynical that this online dating thing can ever work so she's trying it anyway. Her opening line was "you seem interesting from your profile---IF that's who you really are......." and the ending was "I wouldn't have done this except my son forced me into it......."! Wow!
I did reply to both messages and politely thanked them for their observations and interest but I wasn't the person they were seeking. Who knows what motivates some people? | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 8:15:20 PM | | LOL...Yes I received one of these too last year. There's always a mutant somewhere that has nothing better to do I guess. This one proceeded to psycho-analyze me from my profile, and advised me I'll never meet someone because of my impossible standards (I'm not exactly asking for the moon there....lol). I decided to write the "psychology major" back and politely give him a taste of his own medicine. He responded with an apology and admitted that he said those things to try to upset me because he assumed that I would not have given him a chance. I told him he would have better odds if he focussed on trying to make a more positive first impression instead of sending nasty messages to total strangers. Too bad we don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. | |

Posted: 1/2/2007 9:32:45 PM | OP, those emails out of the blue are one of the highlights of this site. You will get more. Don't worry about it.
My favorites are the one's who write to me to tell me that I am too difficult and am a "waste of time" --- always makes me wonder why they are wasting MORE of their time by writing the email.
The crazy people of this world are funny. Look at it as free entertainment.  | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 12:50:13 AM | OP try sending her the following reply
" Our date the other night was not a waste of time but the sad realization that there are better fish in the pond"
That ought to get her thinking | |

Date? When did this happen? The original post sounded like someone he had never met. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 5:38:15 AM | | whoever sent it is an moron. I never use to be a overly suspicious person but this online crap is certainly changing the way I think about people. Send her an email and tell her she's an airhead. Always make me feel good. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 5:39:53 AM | I read your profile..........it seems like she was possibly more put off by the fact that you are to the point on what you're looking for....your profile indicated that you were looking for specific things in a woman - maybe that upset her - its your choice and your desire to find exactly what you are looking for - nothing wrong with that - to each his/her own.
Like someone said previously......her comment just saved you a cup of coffee and possibly an uninteresting evening......chalk it up to her loss, not yours.
Good luck  | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 7:26:55 AM | Sounds to me as though she just could be....................crude,rude and socially unexceptable.Ignore her. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 7:32:45 AM | | Wow. When I see something in a profile I don't like or agree with (which I guess is often.. lol!!) I just skip it and go on to the next. There's no point bashing someone for their opinion since it probably won't be taken kindly, nor will have any impact on them anyway. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 8:56:35 AM | I recall once chatting with some gal and she told me that she only accepts dinner dates for the first meet. Her rationale was that if the guy didn't think enough of her so as to take her to dinner, then she wasn't interested in anything less devoted than that.
Now, that may have been her true rationale, or she may just get free dinners that way from spineless men that cave in and accept her terms or are desperate for companionship (she's either not getting dates or she's very well fed but evidently not dating anyone, so that tells you how well guys do with her after springing for her meals). I didn't really care, because I prefer getting to know someone somewhat over a cup of coffee and anyone insisting on more than that is someone I'm definitely not interested in. I just can't see going out to dinner treating someone I'm not in a relationship with, let alone someone I don't even know and being their Wednesday night sugar daddy.
That she just had to write you, a perfect stranger, to put you in your place, well, that says a lot about her. It's called "frustration" I think.
Everytime we come upon someone who handles themselves differently than we do, we tend to say WTF??? because their actions don't make sense to us. It makes sense to them, though, and we're the ones that don't make sense to them. If we just keep in mind that it takes all sorts to make the world go round, then it all makes sense. Make sense? | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 11:45:18 AM | Being relatively new to POF - thank you for the post! It shows me that there are a lot of people out there that are "different" (I'm trying to be really polite here - there are some other choice words to describe these individuals but not going to draw upon being disrespectful or negative.) and the possibility that I may get slained by such harsh judgment. To each their own.
For me, I would choose not to dignify the diatribe with a response. What's the point? By her sending this email show a lot about her character. Thank goodness for the "block" button.
Life is too short to be harassed!
Happy !

Posted: 1/3/2007 12:04:17 PM | Ah, the "Wheel O' Darwin" spins yet again!!
My guess is the kitchen in the cardboard box she lives in is in a bit of a pickle and she's hungry and wants someone to feed her. She had you picked out as her target until she read further. Well, I guess it at least proves she can read a profile which is a lot more than some of the email I get.
Yeah, I'm the recipient of a lot of hate mail lately too. My profile clearly states that if you can't email me with something intelligent and actually show you read my profile, I'll delete it. Well now I have the barrage of emails from one certain "gentleman" with "It's because I'm black isn't it?" *All misspelled* and other equally ridiculous diatribe.
I figure at least I'll get a few good laughs from some of the umm, "classier" people here.  | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 12:11:29 PM | Why worry aprincelyfrog, girl like that is just not worth your time. I agree with you if I dont like a profile I do not send them a message telling them so, but can see how annoying it would be to get one.
So if anyone out there does not like my profile, skip it unless you want to see yourself on a forum...
All first dates should be over coffee/tea whatever - nice and simple.
Hope you find your princess. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 12:14:26 PM | Her e-mail is annoying. In fact, in that short sentence she dropped you, she has revealed the following :
1. She seems to have an anger management problem.
2. She is impatient.
3. She has psychological problem...no really, she has psychological problems.
4. She's full of it.
5. Potential for gold digger status.
6. She has too much time in her hands to analyze then CRITICIZE someone's page and then ACTUALLY spend a few minutes to write a nasty e-mail.
7. She has no class ( judging from the rudeness that she so easily displayed ). | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 12:14:34 PM | | I think you should change your profile! It should read : Going out for coffee is not my style. I think it's stupid. We should go to a fantastic dinner. Going dutch is stupid too! I allow the women to pay for it all.................................. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 4:08:10 PM | I think that you should shrug her off and sincerely feel lucky that she didn't come on to you online and then lower the boom after you met in person.
Like, then she would fill you head to swelling. and make plans to go out in two days and say she was sorry she didn't spend more time with you and couldn't wait until...then
AND THEN NEVER CALL YOU BACK
