Adventures in Craigslisting! LOL!
Okay, I wrote a LONG ad on CL. I told you about it earlier. I got an email from someone with the name "Wonderful Man" & it said simply this:
"Well I think I am what you are desiring and looking for. Tell me more about you. What part of St. Louis are you in???"
Okay, a little info would be nice!!!! And my ad clearly states the neighborhood I live in.
Anyway, I just emailed him back saying I live in Benton Park & I'd like to know more about him since he didn't have much info in his email. He then must have seen my Yahoo address in the email, so he IMed me. Here's the transcript (edited for bad language):
Annie (1/24/2006 6:05:02 PM): hi
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:05:10 PM): Can you tell me some more "benton Park" woman?
Annie (1/24/2006 6:05:53 PM): well, I was pretty lengthy on what I posted...why don't you tell me about you?
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:06:24 PM): If you think so.
Annie (1/24/2006 6:07:48 PM): hello?

Annie (1/24/2006 6:09:48 PM): all I know is that you're 36 & single with a LOT of locations & jobs
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:10:05 PM): and I know little about you.

areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:10:13 PM): and live in Benton Park
Annie (1/24/2006 6:10:53 PM): ok, I think I'll end this here if you're going to be so coy & difficult...you responded to my lengthy ad & all I wanted was a little basic info

areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:12:20 PM): You are a very hard woman to get along with.
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:12:22 PM): that is a shame!

areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:13:37 PM): Kiss my tush!
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:13:45 PM): Yoiu assume and are very wrong!
Annie (1/24/2006 6:14:36 PM): Well, I at least know your argument style & I don't like name-callers. That's enough for me to know.
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:14:51 PM): Grow some t*ts and get lost.
Annie (1/24/2006 6:17:20 PM): Already got 38C's thank you. But I'll gladly block you.
areyoumytotalsoulmate (1/24/2006 6:17:42 PM): Do as you please to.
So I blocked him at that point. Here is the vague profile I was talking about:
Yahoo! ID: ********
Real Name: Passion
Nickname: Loving Heart
Location: Missouri Mo, Il, Mi, In, Ks, Wi, Az, Ne, Ar, Ia
Age: 36
Marital Status: Single And Looking
Sex: Male
Occupation: Pharmaceutical Supply Co./Property Management/Gov.
Hobbies: Every thing and any thing from A to Z. You name it, I like and am willing to try it. I will go with you any where!
Latest News: Trying to be the best that I possibly can be.
Favorite Quote: Live the impossible dream. We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing the inperfect person perfectly. Please no game players, no vain nor shallow people. Be open, honest and truth
Anyway, just the kind of thing to make me scream AND laugh.

I hate hate HATE when I put a LOT of information in a profile/ad and then get emails/IM's from guys saying, "Tell me more..."
He was definitely a jerk. I've never heard too much good things from CL, in fact CL around here are busting men looking to buy sex and women selling sex. LOL
Next time just stop talking to him.
Also I HATE it when people say "Tell me more about yourself" why not just ask someone some direct questions? I hate to drone on and on and on about myself and tell me more about yourself is vague, I have no idea what you want to know, my shoe size or what I ate for breakfast. It's vague. Its better to ask direct questions so there is back and forth dialogue not a resume of your accomplishments.

Ugh, me too! That's when a date really resembles a job interview.
