Am I old? I had no idea....

Today I got an email in my filtered box and shared in a text with my best friend Wes today....especially because the two of us often laugh at the fact we're still in our late 20s and we don't always know what the new shortened text language means...which then just makes us feel old.

The email came in from a 21 year old, whose photo is a mirror shot of his torso/arm while he most likely is flexing as hard as he can to make every vein and muscle look larger than possible.

Here's the message: Are you interested in NSA/friends with benefits relationship with an athletic 21 year old male?

First let me praise this young man on spelling EVERYTHING correctly because I've had men half his age write emails and have horrendous grammar.

The other thing, which is the part that Wes and I laughed so hard about---I took a good 10-15 minutes trying to figure out what the hell NSA was short for....I figured it out, had a really great laugh.



Ohhhh man, I love the stupid shit that comes in on dating sites, but mostly....i'm sick of going through it.
It's great for giving you all something to laugh about--to read about--and for those who are also single, gives you the knowledge you aren't alone in it, and those who are happily in a partnership--gives you the joy of knowing you aren't in the dating world anymore!

Pictures and emails

I have rejoined a couple of free sites to get more writing [and to see if there's anything new....maybe I'll end up meeting a guy in the process]

Here's where I'm gonna start today, pictures...what the HELL is with posting your profile picture on a dating site of you with 3-5 other guys?! WHICH ONE ARE YOU?! I've come across a few where ALL the photos that were added where of whichever guy actually MADE the profile, and then 4 other buddies of his.
First off, it makes me wonder if you just aren't the ''good looking'' one of the group so you add all your buddies in to confuse the other sex...or you just don't give a shit, and in that case I'm almost ALWAYS going to swipe left [hahahaha].

Another thing....and I've saved some for your entertainment purposes...emails.
Now one site allows me to filter emails set to preferences that I made, and one which came through just made me laugh [editors note* I hate the freaking Pokemon phenomenon.....]

**Not whole messages**

1. 29 year old man "PS. What's your favorite Pokemon" [Ummmm...NONE?!]

2. 36 year old man messaged me the same message TWICE....[this has happened before with other guys....if someone doesn't respond once or twice, you'd move on usually....right?

3. This one I've had from multiple guys and I know for a fact my other single girl friends who've come across this too.... ''You're gorgeous! How are you single??" [Because I am......?]

4. Guys who write you a resume about themselves...like.....literal essay.

5. A guy wrote me multiple times, one day after another, and I should be flattered by one comment...but it's just weird to me [maybe i'm the only one that feels this way about some of this....] ''9 years in the beauty industry, looks like you we're [YES...HE WROTE WE'RE grammar dude...grammar!] born in the beauty industry"
Same guy also wrote later, ''i'm told guys on this site can be very rude and disrespectful towards women. That being said, what I would like to say in a respectful, yet macho way is that I think you are quite pretty and I would surely love the opportunity to learn more about you''

I don't know....am I a bitch for being annoyed or not responding to these guys? Even the guys who are writing a nice email but I'm not attracted to---but then they continue to write even when I've just left the message sit.

Disappointment

After things are going well, there's this whole ''ghosting''

Well, I've been ''ghosted'' and it hurts and it is confusing and it's just not fair.

The guy who I had been seeing, all the sudden up and dropped off the earth [and this is prior to him leaving for Europe for a friends wedding] so it can't be blamed on lack of service/travel.

As much as it sucks, send a message and say ''it's not going to work'' or ''I had a great time but I don't think there was a connection'' ANYTHING that isn't just up and running away so it seems.


That's all my brain can spew out at the moment....


More to hopefully come later.
