Posted: 1/14/2007 9:08:04 PM | Well, I got an email from a guy who decided that he just HAD to tell me that I gave him a bad first impression...he tore apart my whole profile and said it was ALL negativity...read it, I had a small paragraph that warned about IM'ing me for sex, that was IT...
I have a section that says that I will work on my car, would like to learn woodworking, etc. and said "No, I'm not a lesbian, lol"...well, he said I offended him on behalf of his lesbian friends and "putting lol behind it doesn't make it funny". Well, I am a shit disturber, so I HAD to respond. I refuted everything he had written and told him "putting 'lol' after it is for dumb people with no sense of humor, so they KNOW it's meant in a light-hearted way".
The fact is, I am not at all what this guy is looking for, so why bother? He isn't what I am looking for, so I could care less if he didn't approve of my profile.
After my response, he wrote back with this: "I was kidding, I just want to see you be given a chance and you should change your profile, it was all a joke". The funny thing was that HIS profile had a bit of negative stuff in it! In the end, I tore him a new one and told him to get a better hobby. It's all good. | |

Posted: 1/14/2007 11:22:09 PM | | I just had my latest one the other day. He seemed upset that I didn't have any pics up so he could see me. He asked how the men in my area were supposed to take me seriously if they can't see what I look like. What the heck? Try reading my profile. I will send out my pics to someone if and when I choose. I thanked him for his concern and wished him good luck. - Maybe it is flirting - I'm a little naive when it comes to that - but if that's what it was, he did it rather poorly. Take heart, it may have been your first, but if you stay, it certainly won't be your last. | |

Posted: 1/14/2007 11:53:34 PM | I have gotten my fair share of emails along those lines, like "wow what kind of slut are you? on 80 favorites lists. lol People who take the time to send you these emails obviously dont have anything better to do.If i read a profile and its not my type, i move on.
Anyway, you're not alone in nasty messages, but I just pray for the senders for a minute, delete and move on lol. they are obviously not happy people. | |

Posted: 1/15/2007 1:14:29 AM | Lot of awful people out there in the world. The way I figure it my optimism/attitude/soul is a little like a personal candle I have to hide and guard from the winds of the world. Share it carefully with ones you like, and a little at time, so you don't get burned... or in this analogy get your candle extinguished.
I only received one mail message I didn't like. It just had such a militant tone to it. Like the world owed them. The person was bothering me for details about my opinion I posted in the lumbar spine thread. I blocked the person immediately. I don't NEED to justify myself, though I had already made a public response, and certainly attacking me doesn't help get answers any quicker. Ever heard of catching more flies with sugar rather than vinegar? Plus they were trying to put words into my mouth. I told them to grow up. EOD
nomenome: People can be shallow. I bet he did not want to "waste" the effort talking to you if your pics weren't hot enough. It does not sound like flirting to me. | |

Posted: 1/15/2007 6:50:45 AM | Well.. I sent a message..just as an ice breaker. ended it with "want to dance?"
Got a message back...
I don't dance.. my name is _______ and a little laughing icon.
All I can say is wow. Seemed very rude to me. Read/delete time | |

Posted: 1/26/2007 8:20:30 PM | | On another site, I got a big long email from a guy telling me that if I really wanted to find a man I should consider getting rid of my dogs. I wouldn't throw out a dead plant for that guy. | |

thought we might have a few things in common until I got to the line where you tell everyone you are a coffee dater. Well, I suppose you'll find someone out there who likes cheap men because it wont' be me."
You, sir, have just dodged a bullet.
That's one that saved you the trouble of crossing herself off your list. | |

anyone to hold the camera! | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 8:56:06 AM | Yes...people can be very "rude". I also received an email from someone... but this situation is a little different in the fact that we had already chatted twice on MSN with one another. In those two chats, I wasn't comfortable with some of the things he was saying, so I told him nicely that I didn't feel this would go anywhere and I wished him luck in his search. The next day I received the email on P of F telling me how wealthy he was, how big his pension is, how nice of a person he is to know and how huge his **** was!!!
The email that you received does not deserve a responce as you will only stoop to her level, but this one I could not let go without one. Short form....he was told none of that makes "a man", and if his ego was as big as his ****, then IT MUST BE HUGE but his mentality is small!!! Needless to say, he definetly been removed from MSN and blocked from P of F. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 9:43:04 AM | | Really what is wrong with going out for coffee?..if the coffee goes well and you both still want to continue the date you all can go out somewhere else after the coffee....it has happened to be before that we went out for coffee and then ended up going for a walk wich led to a movie...a great afternoon coffee led to a wonderful afternoon and evening ( but this is all ...it went downhill after)..lol | |

Posted By: aprincelyfrog on 1/2/2007 7  10 PM Subject: Anyone care to explain this one? Message: OK, I'm minding my own business... never even checked out this "lady's" profile and I get this email... shown verbatim: "You are more verbose than me which is difficult to believe. I thought we might have a few things in common until I got to the line where you tell everyone you are a coffee dater. Well, I suppose you'll find someone out there who likes cheap men because it wont' be me." I have gotten nasty emails like this before... my questions is why in the world would someone take the time to write such garbage? If you read a profile and you don't like the person you just skip it and go on... why send an insane email? Is that supposed to make me change my mind? Am I supposed to go begging her to go out with me or something? The funny thing is that its people like this that cause me to start with a simple cup of coffee to begin with! LOL Anyone else get crap like this? Can anyone shed light on emails like this?
Wow, that's awful. I can somewhat relate to this as I have replied to emails and accepted invitations from others with seemingly pleasant profiles on the site messenger only to find out shortly after talking with them they were actually interested in OTHER things. The depravity of some folks can be quite alarming. I find it frustrating and in very bad taste. Just my thoughts..

Posted: 2/11/2007 10:49:08 AM | We all get negative as well as positive responses to the content of our profiles; so what? We always have to choice to change what does not work. You made the point of limiting your horizons to the venue of a coffee shop for a first date. If I were you I would leave the venue open for all dates both first and subsequent. Go with your instincts when picking a venue for a particular lady. First impressions are extreamly important and thus the place you choose should match the desires of the lady you whish to pursue. You are not ready to meet her if you are clueless about what she likes and what makes her comfortable. Most women will tell you exactly what makes them happy. All you have to do is listen and then engage them some more while you work out the details of your first and possibly most important date of your life. In my opinion all other strategies are loosing ones that let the good one get away.

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:03:54 AM | Forget About Her Boss!
Just because you want to meet for coffee doesn't mean your cheap? I do the same thing this way your not committed to lunch or dinner and if you don't have some attraction then you can both go your seperate ways? I think she must be related to the Geico Cave Man,and she just crawled out from under a rock?lol Like I had this lady call me a liar the other day when I tried to explain there is a tech problem here at this site about my age and I tried to correct it and I can't? So instead of her accepting the fact as I tried to be honest,she calls me a liar? Well no wonder she calls herself LONELY! Forget about her and move on!!!  | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 8:56:03 PM | What a strange thing for her to say! First meetings are awkward, so I think going for a coffee could be good. I wonder if perhaps she is a bit of a.... how do I say gold digger without sounding judgemental? Forget it, it's too late to be thinking of other words  | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 10:55:43 PM | Sounds like she is shopping for an expensive dinner date and just wanted you to know that she is frustrated, hungry and sick of coffee...lol
I got a email from a guy asking me if I had more photos, I sent a yes, many photos... back to him.. then I got another email back saying " I want to see more of a person before dating them or asking them out",
I wrote him back and said, I dont recall dating you or being asked out for a date, then I told him he was a bit of a jerk and blocked him.. I wonder if these people think this approach will work for them...
I bet she was hoping for a long evening out so that she had time to convince you that she wasnt a golddigger... hahahahaha

Posted: 2/13/2007 8:26:47 PM | l ol.. I guess some people just have nothing better to do. I agree if you dont like someone's profile, just move on. I personally think coffee is a good idea for a first date, but who cares what I think. | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 1:56:10 PM | Some ppl are just plain old mean and rude. I have gotten some weirdo email ..... thats why the delete button was made. I think that individuals who take the time and energy to write nasty emails are usually lacking somethings in their lives and hate on others to make themselves feel better. Getting together for drinks is the best first date.....the evening is still young if you hit it off there is no telling where things might lead.  | |
