The People...

So...I've had a while to peruse the ads. I can't help but wonder what the hell people are thinking when they post these things...

Example #1: "Freash out of prison and I'm lookin to start new with someone special"

Analysis: Ok first off, that was not a typo in that sentence...well not my typo anyways. I'm not perfect when it comes to typing and I'm sure there will be plenty of typos in this blog on occasion. But seriously?? When first impressions mean everything, you can't even bother to spell check?? And the actual content of the sentence...SMDH...Dude, I appreciate your honesty, but how many people do you think you're actually going to get with that as your opening line? Not this chick right here. Nope. No sir. But again, I have to give the man credit for being honest. A felony record is something I want to know about upfront. I wish him all the best in finding someone.

Example #2: I receive a notification of an email and this is what it says "HI HOW R U DOING U CAN STOP LOOKING U HAVE FOUND ME I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO KNOW U AND TALK TO U SO CALL ME AT ..." and proceeds to give me his phone number. Oh and he had the nerve to put in the subject line "THE TRUTH"

Analysis: Really??? I just don't even know where to begin with this. Well, I guess I would start with the fact that anyone in 2011 that doesn't realize that TALKING IN ALL CAPS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YELLING,  that it's RUDE and actually kind of LAZY is not someone that can keep up with me. Again, let's examine the content here. Was I supposed to respond with "Oh thank God! I can just close my account now!" I suppose that was intended as confidence. Gentlemen: There is a fine line between confident and cocky. Learn that line. Understand that line. Be able to find that line blindfolded with your hands tied behind your back. The single women are begging you! And speaking of single women...my guess is that the reason he opened with that statement is because it's worked for him before. Ladies. We have to help each other out. Can we please resolve not to put up with this kind of crap? See, because when you set your standards low it affects me in situations like this.

There are many more like these two, but I'll save them for another day. Remind me again why I'm doing this?
