Just had an interesting experience.

A woman emails me out of the blue to chip me about a comment I have in my profile.

The line in question read: 'definitely not after a woman who brightens a room by the mere act of leaving it!'.

I thought it was self-explanatory, why would anybody want the company of someone who constantly saw the negative in everything? Who literally sucked the life out of the room? We all seek the company of positive people, right?

She went on to give me a spray about me not being so perfect anyway etc etc...

I thought I might have had a right of reply only to find my message 'unread, deleted'.

So I hope she felt good about getting it all off her chest, I apparently wrongly assumed she might have been receptive enough to want to listen to an explanation.

Interesting or ironic? I can understand the feeling of WTH in the moment but now step back and you'll end up laughing.

Don't you just love it when someone proves your point?

Nah, that's okay, it wasn't a hanging offence, although I did find it ironic she describes herself as having 'loads of personality, intelligence, empathy, affection... and generally a nice person.' in her profile. All evidence to the contrary.

And adds 'Gentlemen. If I contact you, please have the manners to reply. You are dealing with a real person.'
Well, she contacted me and I gave her the courtesy of a polite reply. If she had bothered to read it she would have found she was dealing with a real person too.

Seems to me, your comment may have hit a nerve with her...perhaps she's been told something very similar about herself

I do as a matter of fact, I didn't ask for the insult, only the opportunity to reply.

In the future I would delete nasty grams and move on.

She did what she set out to do.
Inflame you so much you had to post about it.

Glad you feel better, I imagine if she sees' this post, she feels better than you do.

There are many damaged people running around out there, for sure. Someone hurt them badly so they feel like lashing out at others.

It's unfortunate, OP, that you were the recipient of that woman's negativity. Just let it go, and consider the source.

Good luck to you.

I think she had a bad day and decided to take it out on a total stranger.

Although, I have read a few profiles and have seen things, that seem out of whack. Age, body description, or what they have wrote. Occassionally, I want to write and comment on it, but then remember, if they wanted my opinion they would ask me. So, I reframe from it. Not to mention, they could rip and tear my profile away too.

I have replied to emails that seem to be copy/paste, telling them they would have better luck if they did not have such a generic message. But, in that case, they have contacted me first and just replying to what they wrote. And not in a mean way, just trying to be helpful way.

Best of luck to the masses (with exception to a few, lol)

I had that happen once. Someone from the forums got mad. She e mailed me, made herself look really "stupid". I replied politely telling her why I stated what I did and she would not read it. Some people like to dish it out but cannot take it. Things like that make me realize some people are just unable to handle the truth. No biggie.

I've had the same thing happen ... I had someone email me and be quite nasty about something I posted in the forum ... even made a point to go so far as to insult my family and upbringing over a stupid forum posting. I think it made him look like a total idiot, but then again, it obviously served some sort of a purpose in his life. I could care less what people on the forums think about me (unless it's something good, ha!) ... these are people you'll more than likely NEVER meet in your entire life, who's opinions hold NO VALUE, so why does it matter what they think of you or what they say to you?

Just let it roll off your shoulder as there's nothing you can do about it except get upset, which, well, what's the point? A good debate is one thing, but to cross the line and email someone and give them a piece of your mind is ridiculous and makes you look a little psycho.

I guess she has one redeeming quality. She is self aware enough to know what you meant and that she fit the bill!

I would say the comment in your profile hit a bit too close to home for her. She is obviously a joy sucking half wit.

Look on the bright side... that being your own room probably brightened when you knew you'd have no further contact with the ol' battle axe.

I agree with this Sydney and think it's funny. Not sure why she got all worked up over it.....perhaps she's a life sucking vampire and it hit a little too close to home.

Too bad she focused on the one thing on your profile that's not entirely positive-- which was also the last thing. I'll bet she was interested up to that point! Kudos to you for being a gentleman...

She resented your remark because she resembled it.

She was just a b*tch. I don't get people who do that. They message you just to make some stupid snarky comment on your profile, because they see something in it they don't like, but aren't actually interested in you.

I had a guy who did that to me. He sent me a nasty message telling me I "talk too much" and to "shut up". I was like, um, if you don't like my profile, then don't read all of it douchebag, or ignore it.

Some folks, are just as*sholes, for no other reason, except that they are as*holes. She sounds like one of them. Block her stupid butt so that she can't send you another message.
