Oddly enough, I got hit on again online today. I mean, it’s pretty likely I got a ‘form’ message. Which I’m sure anyone within his zip code that looked cute got. Now, this guy wasn’t bad looking. Actually somewhat my type. Meat on his bones, nice smile. But, let me show you the highlights of his message…
Yo yo..
… I wandered into your profile and well, I liked what I saw.. ;p So.. ya :) they call me *Billy. I think you and I should perhaps be friends, cause you seem pretty cool, and smart, and maybe even cute! (it’s everso hard to tell in this vast digital world.. :) ….you know what they say.. appearance wins over the eyes, but personality catches the heart.. LOL!
So I visited his profile (this is all on My Space) Here’s his entire ‘about me’ blurb..
Hi, I love to travel more then anything else. My current passion is The Netherlands. (Netherlands = Amsterdam = possible pothead)
Would like to meet anyone with similar interests or even anyone curious. (I’m a single mom on a tight budget, traveling is not exactly in my future)
No strings or baggage. Take a chance. (Right, fabulous deal. We get to have sex as long as I don’t expect anything from you. And of course a pushing 30, single woman will have no baggage. I’ve got my rose colored glasses on. I’m just waiting for my Prince Charming to whisk me off to Amsterdam on our baggageless trip.)
Then’s the kicker. In his side bar profile thing it says… I don’t want kids
Okay, WHY are you hitting on me? Did ya read my profile? I have a kid, it’s noted in my profile, and there’s even a picture of her on there. I think that new pic of me that I put up (the same one that’s in here now) is attracting attention. But I rarely look that good. That was Shelli playing dress up at Nationals. I’m usually wearing my fat pants, a t-shirt, and have my hair pulled back in a ponytail. And NO MAKEUP.
I don’t even think I’m going to reply to him. Athough I’ll feel bad if he somehow finds his way to my blog and reads this. But what can I say, he gave me great material for a blog post today.
So I got tagged by Kelley. It’s all about books, and so I have to warn you.. my answers aren’t very deep. I rarely remember what I ate for breakfast the day before, let alone all the books that have impacted me over the years. Yeah, I shouldn’t admit that being a writer.
1. One book that changed my life: He’s just not that into you. Seriously, I haven’t dated since.
2. One book I’ve read more than once: Some historical romance that I read so long ago I forgot and read it again when I bought it at a thrift shop. I never intend to read a book twice.
3.One book I would want on a deserted island: A survival guide.
4. One book that made me laugh: Good in Bed
5. One book that made me cry: Who knows. Maybe one of those Nicholas Sparks books.
6. One book I wish I had written: Good in Bed.
7. One book I wish had never been written: Can’t remember. Some book about an alcoholic who’s wife left him, and he dies in the end. I think he was a cop. It really pissed me off. That took like three days to read. Three days of my life I’ll never get back.
8. One book I am currently reading: Bunking down with the Boss by Charlene Sands.
9. One book I have been meaning to read: In the Mood by Suzanne Macpherson
Tagged: Anyone motivated to do this or wants something to put on their blog today!
I hate it when people I don’t know ask me to add them to my Yahoo IM list. Freaks me out.
My Myspace profile says I’m married and have children and I still get the occasion…”Wanna hook up” message. I rarely respond. Maybe next time I’ll just send them the Amazon link to my book.
Best,
Kim
Men are so funny, they see a pretty picture, don’t bother reading the profile, and ask you in their smack talk to holla at them or if you want to party or some dumb crap! Even if you respond nicely and ask if they read your profile, you’ll just get another ridiculous response!
And thanks for the “he’s just not that into you” book.. sometimes the truth hurts, but every girl needs to hear it!
Omigod I need to get a myspace account. :-)
Don’t feel bad if he reads this on your blog. Really. I’m sure he’s used to it.
I don’t think I would be responding to that guy. He needs a little help. I get people who send me messages like that every once in a while. Hello…my profile says I’m married with a child!!!I don’t get it!
Yeah every great once in a while I get some odd message from a dude. And my profile says I’m married w/ children as well. Weird. There are a lot of freaks on myspace - a LOT!!!!!
Good gawd. I lasted 3 weeks on Plenty of Fish and then the litany of idiots drove me off. I put very clearly in my profile that the number one thing I was looking for was intelligence and yet I kept getting guys asking me out who couldn’t spell even simple words. License was lission. Then some 19 year old asked me out. Hello, buddy I’m old enough to be your mother. And then a 20 year old woman suggested we chat using our webcams and no clothing. And the final kicker — the guy who said “and u don have 2 wory about me getting you preggo — I’ve been fixed.”
Oiy…no wonder I’m single.
This just confirms why I have no desire to get a MySpace account. Well, not only that, but I procrastinate enough as it is! :)
Did you see the list I posted on my myspace blog about men and scaring women? LOL Something about perfect strangers saying they love me totally creeps me out! And all of them are on Yahoo messenger which, thankfully I don’t use! Creeps!
LOL!!! Aww honey, he didn’t read your profile because he was too busy drooling over your sexiness :)
You know that’s the truth.
:)
Oh man, what a loser he is! Ad it to the annoying characters file.
Sounds familiar to me…although my profile says I’m single with no kids, I do get the same requests for hook ups too! Amazes me that guys think this will attract a woman! Seriously, what woman in their right mind would respond?! LOL…don’t lose faith, I’m sure that we’ll both find our matches sometime soon! Hell, you’re one up on me by being a mommy…I’m not even there yet!! love ya girlie! :0)
