TALK ABOUT A CRAPPY COMEBACK
So the other night I decided to log back into the dating sites, update my pictures, maybe change the blurb on myself. Honestly I haven't been on it for a while, I find I go through spurts where I will be all gung-ho searching through profiles and all that...until either I have few guys that I've started to chat offline to (because you can only juggle so many before you get confused) or I get the feeling like I'm just sifting through the same regurgitated profiles.
It was the latter that made me take this last break so I was a bit thrilled when I happened to get a new message from someone I hadn't seen before. Now, when I get a message I will look at the profile first. Why you ask? Because I feel that I can understand the tone of an email better by seeing how they describe themselves. This only works of course if the message is more than "Hi", "Hello" or "You hot". His profile seemed to be a standard, run of the mill profile. His message not so ordinary. (Keep in mind that this is the more serious dating site rather than what plenty of fish has become)
The guy started by stating how attractive I am and then proceeded to ask me if I would take a shit on him. He was fully serious and would pay me $4500 to do so.
REALLY??!
I wish I had the actual message to copy/paste his email here but it isn't in my inbox anymore and the guys profile is gone. I'm going to go ahead and guess I wasn't the only one he asked to shit on him and he got booted.
I know that it was probably some kids who posted someone else's pic and were goofing around or some guy who was bored and thought he would try to get a rise out of someone. I mean who really has $4500 laying around these days to spend on elaborate things like getting shit on? But having this be the first message I get when I come back online doesn't really make me want to jump on the internet dating saddle with much enthusiasm.
Is it a sign of some sort telling me to stay away for a bit longer?
Who knows.
That being said, I am going to once again make an effort to browse because 1) how can I blog about dating if I'm not doing it and 2) I can't just sit around and hope that love is going to fall into my lap.
