Does the website have a "Hall of Shame" on it?

All,

I've posted this one before (about 6 months ago) but for those that forgot it here it is in all of it's glory. This is not something I would recommend to anyone. In between marriages (in 1996), I met someone on matchmaker and her first e-mail read like this: "Hi, I'll be brief and I'll be blunt. I'm tired of all the games with computer dating and I would just like to come over to your apartment and have a little fun." Being new to OLD and being very naive, I agreed. I had no idea what she looked like but I agreed so here's what happened next....

About 2 hours later I heard a knock on my door and looked outside. It resembled Chewbacca but I agreed to let her in. My hormones disappeared the moment she sat on the couch. But it was too late for me as I'm a man of my word. During the deed all I could think about was something unrelated to what I was doing. Perhaps cleaning the shower or cleaning my clothes? When it was done, I gave her a glass of water and proceeded straight to the shower. After 45 minutes, I felt I was now clean enough to get into my clothes. I then proceeded to the grocery store to by some shampoo to clean the couch. Luckily for me her whities were not yellow or brown....

Oh I've got a good story for the "Hall of Shame".

I had a first and last meet at the zoo. I thought that might be a good place to walk around and talk and get to know each other a little while taking in the new exhibits.

Mr. Wonderful (not) was 45 mins late, but he called and told me he was running late so I gave him a pass. Turns out he was late because he couldn't find the zoo...now he's lived here all his life and Louisville is not really a big town. How could he not know where the zoo was? That was the first flag. About 15 mins into the zoo we stopped at the gorilla exhibit. While we were watching 2 or 3 of them frolic and play a female gorilla climbed on a branch and proceeded to position her legs totally parallel to the branch....she was doing a perfect split on the branch. She had to be double jointed. Right then and there Mr. Wonderful asked me if I could do that. I must have given him a 'WTF did you just say to me' look because he attempted to smooth it over by saying he was only kidding. By that time I had decided that it was best to pick up the pace and get the heck out of there. The next memorable stop was the Tiger cage. As we were peering over the edge of the wall into the exhibit he pointed to a spot on that ground and very loudly said, "look how big that pile of Tiger crap is". It was all I could do to keep from pushing him over the edge and letting him become Tiger lunch. Instead I fled down the stairs and made sure I stayed about 10 paces ahead of him until we reached the parking lot. I don't even remember saying good bye to him, I just got in my car and left.

Thinking back I wish I would have thought to stop at the zookeeper's office and tell them I knew where they could get another gorilla for their exhibit. He was the most ill-mannered and disrespectful man I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He was absolutely nothing in person like he was in email or on the phone.

Hey Libra,

At least he didn't take you over to the monkey cage. They like to relieve themselves on each other..... LMFAO...

OK, and I think we have ASKED this before but... TT, do you not have any discrimintating tastes as to who(what) you'll sleep with as long as they're willing? I mean, I know that men in general are more open to sleeping with someone that is open to sleeping with them but not to sound TOO critical - but will you sleep with anything that offers herself to you? Most guys I know are a LITTLE more selective in that. Just curious as to why you would sleep with someone that totally turned you off and even grossed you out.

Vex-


Apparently for whatever his reasons may be, he made choices he later regretted.

I'm only asking because this has not been TT's only post about sleeping with someone that he was not attracted to at all or even repulsed by. I am not criticizing or meaning to come off as harsh but wanting to understand his reasoning. I guess I just don't understand how this happens and thought maybe he could explain his thought process. Anything I can do to understand men is helpful! :-)

>>I think so far Gal Yoohoo's story of the guy who sent the grody underwear pic takes the cake. :) <<

Country Girl,
If it would help in the intellectual pursuit of the art and science of OLD research.... I would be willing to donate the pic to the messageboard... face covered of course but still not sure if that is allowed... :)

I posted this over at galyahoo's "underwear man" thread and she thought it would work well here. :)

Here's my conribution:

Back in my early OLD days,this guy had contacted me on American Singles, but had no photo posted. We emailed a bit and moved to private email addresses. So I asked him to send a photo. Well, he responded with "I'm having problems loading the photo, blah, blah, blah. So I told him I wouldn't communicate further without one.

The next day there's an email from him. He sent a photo alright...of his, um, "little me". I would have been totally mortified, but he had put a little face and hat on it. On one hand it was devastating, but on the other I couldn't stop laughing. It was so damn ridiculous! Sad, I know.

Yes, he was deleted and blocked immediately!!!!
