I finally renewed my membership but am having some very odd results. The first man went through all the steps quickly right to giving me his number in OC. I called blocking my number of course. He was rather abrupt but I may have gotten him at a less than opportune time. He was at his mother's helping her with household chores. During the course of our conversation he asked if I wear colored panties!!! He wasn't even playful or charming just rude. I told him that was an inappropriate question. He had made several references to being wealthy. So I told him I was unimpressed by his finances if he'd like to continue talking he would need to keep a civil tongue with me. NEXT!

Second man sent second set of questions one of which asked me if I were to pose nude for an artists what media would he use, who would be the artist and how would I pose! OMG! I replied that I'm a lady and so on...

Then a man requested fast track which I declined so he closed me out...LOL!!! What's up with that? If he guy is so hot for me why not take a minute or two to humor me? This is the second time that's happened.

Now there's this man who seems very nice, works for a university but is going sooooo slowly that even though he says he's interested, I'm wondering if the guy has a pulse. I happen to like him but how many women is he juggling that he doesn't call for several days at a time?

So is there a full moon tonight?

I take it by full moon....you mean the crazies are coming out of the woodwork? From my own experience....and from talking with a couple friends....I've come to the conclusion that there really ARE a lot of crazies and freaks out there......and of course none of them think they are crazies or freaks. I'm sure the guys you had contact with all considered they were being completely reasonable (NOT).

I can't believe a guy asked you if you wore colored panties. Seriously??? You have to laugh and ask does that work for him?

Wow, my matches were never this exciting.

I did have the one that had for occupation something like business owner/therapist/sales or something like that. He was the guy that asked me to describe my childhood and my relations with my parents. He was also the guy that had a bunch of pictures with him, no shirt, running on the beach with a girl in a bikini on his shoulders. Or just running on the beach with girls in bikinis. I kind you not. But I communicated with him - I mean come on - you kind have to meet some of these people in person to really appreciate all that they have to offer.

(Never did meet the guy - he closed me after OC. I can't imagine why my little note would have had him close me. **evil grin**)

verylibra,

i don't know what it is about you that seems to attract the kookoo's but for some reason, you seem to get your share. Posing naked....for God's sake...did that guy actually think you were going to answer that question? Loser. I did not renew my membership with Eharmony because contrary to what they propose, I was not getting "quality" matches.
Goodness, maybe we need to start a matching system of our own. Friends matching friends.

If we could blame these things on a full moon it would make things simpler. I have never been asked what color panties I was wearing. I feel left out.

Speaking of crazies coming out of the woodwork…

Should we start a thread on colored undergarments then? *chuckles* It’s already drawing some interest. I’ve had some strange conversations with women I’ve dated- and yes, that says something about me- but I’ve never had to ask that question. I’m usually the enjoys the mystery and surprise type of guy.

I’ve not had much communication of that type, but I do wonder about eha sometimes. Recently I’ve had some odd "matches" to my own profile. They have been:

An NBA dancer and television host.
An aggressively ambitious lawyer (and completely unashamed of the fact, nor should she be).
Assorted asians with oddly fanatical religious beliefs.

I usually get shy psychologists and bookworms- more my "type" I suppose. Anyone else notice oddities showing up in their matches lately?

Well...the colored panty guy was terribly self important. When I told him I had dated several wealthy men and was not impressed...he said I didn't know just HOW wealthy he is. He said he ordered his children to not have kids until the age of 30 or they would lose their inheritance. I am so underwhelmed!!! I have an odd feeling this man also sells snake oil on the side. I doubt seriously that he has much of anything at all.

And the nude model guy, well really...that's almost creative! Heck who knows how many women he gets with that line. I'm beginning to think that some men equate a long distance match with an escort service.

And yes, I've gotten crazies all my life. They seem to come out of the woodwork to find me! I've had men follow me in my car just seeing me at a stop light. When I was a teenager, there was a group of men on leave from the military who surrounded me every day as I walked to work on the boardwalk. I had never met or spoke to any of them. I couldn't get the one guy to leave me alone. Finally I asked my boss to chase them off.

One day my mother told me the nicest boy saw her carrying in the groceries and offered to help. (We lived about 12 miles from where I worked. I was only 15 so my mother drove me each way.) She told him she had a daughter that he might like to go out with so she arranged a blind date. When I opened the door for the date, it was the boardwalk guy. Eeerrrggg!!!

Yes, and it's full of icecream

Seriously though, there is something strange going on and it's not restricted to US. I just received an email from a "match" on Match, and have not been able to stop laughing for about an hour. I can't describe it, you have to see the original, but I'm at work and don't really have time to copy and paste and format. I'll start a new thread a little later, because I have absolutely no idea how to reply to this guy (other than laugh of course)

You should have answered:
Oil on canvas by Salvador Dali - posing in a tree.

or
Bronze sculpture by Fernando Botero - posing on an all-you-can-eat buffet table.

and if you really wanted to mess with the loony before closing him:

Mixed media including dried pasta and tomato sauce on canvas by Jackson Pollock - posing inside a wood chipper!
