Gotta love how people weed themselves out.
On another (paid) site I tried I’ve gotten quite a bit of communication, but the emails I’ve received are all very obviously C&P emails that are sent to everyone/anyone. (Only one exception to that so far, a really nice email that shows the guy read my profile). I’ve replied with a short email to those who’s profiles looked interesting. Responded with a no thank you to those who’s weren’t.
This morning I rec’vd IM’s from two matches (the siteallows it anonymously). Here are the exchanges:
Guy A – good morning, how are you?
Me: Hi, good morning, I’m doing well, thanks. How about you?
Him: great!
Him: you miss me??
Me: (rolls my eyes to myself) Miss you? I don’t know you, can’t possibly miss you
Him: Call me now, let’s start the morning RIGHT
Me: I see you sent your # in the email. I’d like to get a bit of a sense about you prior to calling.
No response from him. Hahahaaa

Guy B: good morning, is anyone out there?? (echo, echo)
Me: Good morning, how are you?
Him: good ty
Then nothing for a moment or two. Then he BUZZ’ed me through IM.
I waited a moment or so, and I asked: What are you up to this morning?
Him: not much.
Then nothing. Then a few minutes went by and he BUZZ’ed me again.
Then I asked: Why do you keep buzzing me?
Him: BUZZ

Honestly, it’s too funny. These guys are in their mid to late 40’s. They aren’t 12. I think I’d rather stick with NO communication than THIS sort of communication. There definitely is something to be said about eH stages of communication.
Anyone else have good/funny examples of how others make it easy to weed right through them?

Are even normal IM's to strangers ever a good idea?? Do ladies like to be put on the spot like that??


I am very glad to learn that my online competition is so lacking.

A friend (not local to me) tried to set me up with one of her other friends. His main response to anythingwas "LOL"


Hetold me numerous times to be careful at work because he worried. Gosh...I was doing that job 10 years before he ever heard of me and started IM-ing.


The finishing touch (and I do mean finishing) was when I got hurt at work (yeah, it does happen). I ended up having surgery and a cast, followed by physical therapy (3 more weeks left!). I've been on light duty for the most part since September. The idjit sent me a message with a big LOL and said at least now he didn't have to worry about me getting hurt at work as long as I was on light duty...and he was glad for that!


He's been deleted.
