Genericly Personal

nothing better than receiving a generic email such as this one from HotDate920:

Let me explain myself to you! I am 5' 8" with dark hair and Dark eyes. I also spend alot of time with friends and family, Oh yeah, I work out at the gym 4-5 days a week. I am a beach bunny who needs a friend who wants to go skydiving soon! How about you? LOL Anyways, I just moved to Atlanta, GA and I am 31 and work in health care. cant wait to hear from you.

ok, several things worth noting:

dark eyes? like evil eyes?
a beach bunny? isn't that a female term? and where in atlanta is he beach bunnying?
what kind of health care? do you clean the toilets in the hospital room b/c that working in health care.

however, maybe i should email him back and say we can meet if he takes me skydiving!

i'm fairly certain he just wrote this, cut and pasted it into six dozen emails to various women hoping one would bite.

seriously thinking about the skydiving offer though....

this is too good not to post immediately:

this is JoJo30549, who says I am a laid back kinda go with the flow kind of guy. I have never been married although I sometimes think that I let the perfect one get away (awesome, you are still hung up on some girl). I am also a workaholic (which means you will have no time for a girlfriend or a life) and spend the majority of my time either at work or talking about work (hope it's an interesting job). With a schedule like I have it makes it almost impossible to meet women. It never used to be a problem when I was younger (b/c i prefer to meet women when i'm drunk) but I guess when you give up the clubbing that's what you get (so he misses the random hookup girls from the club?). I would just like to meet someone that enjoys the same things that I do (doesn't everyone JoJo) and someone I can talk to about anything (especially work). And of course there has to be a physical attraction (b/c he's not going to date an ugly girl).

ok, there are so many problems with this profile, if you can't spot them, then there is a reason you are still single. yes, jojo, i want to go out with you and you baggage that you haven't checked yet and hear you talk about work and pray that you find me attractive.

pu-lease!

Matchmaker make me a match

Disclaimer: i am not going to get too personal on here, i'm not going to post successes, if you want to know about that, you can ask me personally. i am going to start with my thoughts on this concept.

Match.com is personal want ads without using silly abbreviations like SWF looking for SWM etc.

i wasn't on there officially and i get this message from sipnpassok, this is a few snippets from his profile:
i like this, I try to be truthful at all costs, because I have learned that it is always better than telling a lie just to spare someone feelings. When it's all said and done, that person will be hurt more from the lie than the truth. i like his profile, but he's really not my type. but see that's the problem, i just dismissed him b/c of a stupid profile and his picture. but, it was the first hit, i have to keep looking.

then, i get this message from sdhrun16:
So, question showing interest. If you could go anywhere and do anything without any consequences... What would it be? 5-paragraph essay is acceptable. i had a flashback to the GRE and panicked and didn't respond. then his profile said he likes someone who doesn't get stressed out too much, which at this point in my life, he would run from me. next....

Jim in Columbia, SC started my day next. put a big X on that one, columbia? really? desperate?

goodgui824 winked at me a couple of days ago, then im-ed me this morning, i didn't respond, he asked if i was there. i haven't responded yet you gui so leave it. who spells guy gui anyway? match.com has im. it's too much!

and winking is lame, if a guy has to wink and then expect me to email him, automatic X. grow a set and send me an email first.

like i said, no success stories will be posted, however, i am having fun doing this.

more later....
