Welllll...maybe he felt he was a young 46. I don't know...I know you meant well, but your email sounded a *little* condescending to me. But that's the problem with those type of emails...I don't think there's *any* good way to say "thanks but no thanks". Which is why I don't send them, and hate getting them.

But that of course doesn't excuse his rudeness!!!!

I got one a month or two ago where the guy lived on an island a couple hours north of me (I didn't realize where he was until we'd exchange a couple emails). I said I wasn't interested in dating anyone that far away but perhaps we could be platonic friends. He wrote back a nasty email saying something like good luck with the crime in the city or something ridiculous (I deleted it so I can't remember exactly what it was) and he made fun of me for offering friendship. Whatever, dude!

sounds like someone (him) doesn't handle rejection too well huh? WOW!

He must be a VERY YOUNG 46 (about 12 maybe) to send a message like that. How juvenile of him!

I agree with you that they sound condescending which is why I don't usually send them either.

OH, NO, you put the ultimate condescending phrase in your email, LOL!!!! "Good luck to you", ouch!!!! I'm joking, of course, but I *do* curse at the computer screen when someone writes that to me ;-).

I can only speak for myself, but if I sent an email like that (took a chance on being outside one of the person's parameters if I otherwise met them), I'd either want a response saying that you were willing to give me a shot, despite the age difference, or I'd want NO response.

Are you asking what people expect to accomplish by sending nasty grams? That I surely do not know!

Man, what a jacka$$! I have no idea why people feel the need to do that. That seems to be

He's a piece of s***. What a loser. I get so tired of men way outside my age range thinking I would want them. Hey, men practice age discrimination, why shouldn't we? I just want soemone around my own age or who at least is youthful in his outlook.
