OMG, this guy emailed me the weirdest email with a MULTIPLE CHOICE question. what's up with that!? I just had to laugh...

"I also love to travel and I like to think about how great it would be to take a vacation and so I ask people what they have done that they really loved or something that they have dreamed off. It's fascinating to hear about people's ideal vacation experiences. What's your absoulute fantasy vacation?
If you had a choice, would you a) ride a train, b) dance in the rain, or c) feel no pain? Email me back."

Does he really get responses back from gals answering this multiple choice question. How cheesy. He's living in a fantasy world. He's pretty much also admitting he asks everyone the question...LOL...the first template-emailer who didn't try to play it off as original. LOL

I think it's quite unique and fun actually. Do we desire someone that thinks differently and I would say he definitely has his own voice. I think it would be weird only if it the multiple choice question was on sexual level. I would definitely have responded to his question and maybe even pick all of the above or none of the above and let him know what my fantasy vacation since it would not have fit into those categories.....lol

I think sometimes we take this all so serious and it's refreshing to find someone who looks at it this way.....respond to it and see what happens.

I'm just not feelin his vibe I guess! That doesn't mean I am taking it too seriously (I'm glad to hear there are other women who would jump on that...LOL...apparently there are or he wouldn't do it!). His email flowed a little until the multiple choice. What in the world is the "Feel no pain" option referring to? The dancing in the rain was cheesy.

Most of my emails with guys in the initial phase are joking around and light hearted. I'm just not too keen on the multiple choice, templates...or HIM for that matter. I wouldn't be interested in him anyway due to other statements in his profile.

If you want his ID on match, I'd be glad to give it to you ;) He'd probably send the same email to you and you could run with it~!

I think it's just preference. I think you just didn't feel the vibe prior. But guaranteed if you felt that vibe you would have found this to be quite clever.

Thanks for the offer but I don't do the online matchmaking sites anymore. Too much trouble and rejection for me at this point in my life.

Hello,

I totally agree with Fluffy .... Original does not always equal weirdo ... my advice, get into the game and see for yourself.
Have nice day

Ha! Okay! Okay! LOL...now you ladies are making me wonder...For you, I will reply to him and see what comes of it! :) I thought it seemed weird, but maybe you ladies have been doing online dating longer than I and can spot something good better than I can. LOL...
I'll report back on what his response is. I may have you all to owe for a fulfilling relationship with the man of my dreams...lol... ;)
Thanks!
ps--I still think the feel no pain thing is so random. LOL

LOL! And remember, if this man turns out to be your McDreamy you owe us.... Keep in mind that if it gets too weird or uncomfortable ... you can always use the block button...

I really get irritated with these stupid questions. I've received several email where they say "Answer these questions and I'll be impressed" and they usually have the same questions, like what is your favorite childhood memory, etc. On an initial email I just don't think it is appropriate to tell that much about yourself, give me a break! The last guy that sent one of these emails with the questions I sent back and told him he wasn't original, a lot of guys used the same line, that I would answer his questions but I didn't think he would be impressed! He never replied to my email, fine with me.

...yeah, this guy's subject line was "This member MIGHT be interested in you". Apparently guys like this get a kick out of the multiple q's.
I sent my first multiple Q answers back..LOL.. Soon I will either confirm these Q's come from alien life form or I will come back to let you all know they are normal ppl. LOL...
