CL doozies!

As always when you post on CL, you get your share of... interesting responses. Here's a few of my latest that I thought I'd share:

A guy who sent an email with just his phone number and said "I'm in Dallas" (it's a Houston area code). To which I responded - "No phone calls without a bio and pic, thanks! You read about me so it's only fair." To which he replied, "I don't think I saw a pic in your ad... if you're fat, I'm not in any way interested. Fat chicks will NOT send their pics obviously I know why. Send pic plz.". I replied, "READ the ad. It says if you send a pic first, I send mine if I like what I see. And I am not fat - you can't run 13 miles and be fat, jacka--. Buh bye." Oh and you know how on Yahoo, you can put anything as your "name" (like for instance, instead of saying my real name, I use Vexer as my name on my profile) - this guy's name is something about being "the man". Sigh....

Another guy who said he was 21 and is going to my alma mater and he's looking for a "30-something woman to hit it off with, have fun, a few drinks and a naughty nite" and ended it with "Trust me, we'll both enjoy ourselves." The last sentence of my ad states that I am not looking for a hook up or casual encounter. Sigh...

Another guy who wrote telling me, "Never married...good sign of intelligence. Running, however, will ruin your knees. I'm an orthepedist." I responded with "Thanks for the tip." Sigh...

Oh yeah - gotta love it.

Now I have another one that suggested going to the Olivia Newton John concert. I didn't even know that Olivia Newton John TOURED. I can't say that I have listened to her music (except for the occasional guilty pleasure of watching Grease) since I hit puberty. Huh.

Oh man, what strange ones on CL. I never tried CL dating before. I did look at a few profiles and out of all the 100 or so opening lines I skimmed over only maybe 5 interested me and out of those five maybe 2 had a good enough written profile and pic for me to even want to contact them. I never contacted anyone though off CL. One of my friend's friends met her husband in the casual encounters section of CL. Funny how that worked out. She was so tired of dating she just wanted something casual and that's when she met someone who she is very happy with and hit it off with right away. The irony of it all.
