Online Dating Intellectual Email Exchange

Rate: 18 Flag

Maybe online dating is not for me. I find difficulty in coming up with continual witty banter with some of the intellectual denizens on dating sites. Last night, I received an email from one of the men I had not heard from for a while.

He really knows how to get my attention in his pithy and to the point  emails:

Him:  how are ya sexy girl?

Me:   I'm doing fine...how are you? enjoying BBQ, Beach, Babes, and Beer time in Maine?

Him: having a great time. when we going skinny dipping? hehe

Me:   I figured your skinny dipping card was full by now...

Him:  im waiting for you sweetie

Me: ha ha you're funny...

Him:  better hurry or i'll find a cute 20 year old to play with

Me: whatever floats your boat...

Him: you had your chance, hehe

Me:   oh well, yup, ya snooze ya lose...

Way before this email exchange, I had checked out his facebook page. I am sure that he has come to visit from California for the summer and see how much beer, babes and beach time he can consume. Actually, I think one of his status messages revolved around beer and boobs to be exact - something like this: Old Orchard Beach on monday for another day of beach, beer, boobs, and boards.  

The babe is just the auxiliary bearer of the all important boobs. I love a man who knows what he wants out of life and expresses what is most important to him in a woman. I am not knocking his interests and pursuits but only saying he and I aren't a match. One thing I can affirmatively say is that online dating and social media certainly do help a woman get to the bottom of what is on a man's mind faster.

Even though my boobs aren't lacking, he'd be off my list....that's for sure.
"online dating" and "intellectual"... oxymoron?
He is a testoserdork.
Good thing you know what you are looking for. It's hard to have intellectual banter with someone who..isn't intellectual :). Keep trying, there are some out there!
Hey, at least he bothered with email and a few exchanges, lots of guys can only manage a few texts. ! Seriously, there are plenty that just use this as an extension of beer goggle happy hour cruising.
and vise versa.
Funny, realistic and eww!
You need to rewrite you profile to filter out this trash.
geez, he sounds like a winner, hehe
(I dunno what's more offensive, the prurient sexy-ization or the "hehe")
In your next response, copy and paste the entirety of Hannah Arendt's The Age of Totalitarianism. I dare you.
You see, this is why I ended up finding a relationship coach to help me with my dating rituals. I ended up with a much more stringent system for online dating. The previous one led to a lot of good stories, but wasn't worth the aggravation!
Gawd this is funny, sad, and so true.
I cannot believe some of the things men say to single women.
insanity rules I guess Lenore.
I am right real happy to see I mis-spelled your name Leonde. Makes my day complete here dear.
A disgrace to his gender, and species.
"Him: better hurry or i'll find a cute 20 year old to play" with

Me: *sound of typing as I block all future messages from said pig.*

@ Connie Mack: Yeah. The "hehe" creeps me the hell out, too, now that you mention it. [insert major "ick" face]
YOWZA!!!! Sounds like is the fish that got away. Or should be tossed for, um, inadequate size....

You certainly dodged a bullet!
You could cut and paste that convo as an example of the kind of communication that you are not looking for. Of course, that is often seen as a double dog dare for dating douchebags.
GMTA. This is the very subject I posted about today, about how Facebook is changing the online dating scene.

I must say, though, as a non-bearer of boobs, I know I don't have the entire picture. And for that, I think, I am grateful. May I offer my own small apology for the way some of my gender behave.
YAY for boobies and beer. I don't even need the beach!! Teeheeheee!! I like bird watching(Boobies!!!!!)

:D

Rated. (I'm soooo glad I never had to truely jump into the online dating pool. I'd drown!!!)
You are right. This type of email is a shortcut that keeps both of you from wasting your time. Good thing he didn't try to disguise himself as a catch. There are plenty of "online dating" success stories -- keep looking!
Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by...I wasn't around because I started a second job today...something some of us realtors need to do these days...I really enjoyed all your comments - got me laughing! I need to laugh a lot lately! Wishing you all a great 4th of July weekend!
I don't envy you, fending off the boys of the net. Ever consider spraying the screen with jerk repellent?

Our birthdays, by the way, are one day apart. But G. Washington's closer.
Sad part? This exchange is SO familiar. Your measured, dry, grownup responses are so delightful juxtaposed against his poor typing, juvenile attempts at flirtation and poorly expressed sexual innuendo.

Blarf.
Leon- if nothing else the men are amusing...

Persephone - I did some error correcting on his stuff too...it was worse - he is one of those people who doesn't know the difference between you're and your. Another way to weed them out...blarf...I like that...
I cannot stand seeing "he he" in an e-mail. I met my ex#2 on line by chance and thought I married an intelligent, kind, loving, honest man. After 8 years I found out he is the most narcissistic sociopath who betrayed me because he "found his match in his current 'soul mate' ". It's a matter of time to see who will stab whom in the back first. ~~~R Be careful, Leonde.
Sorry. I wouldn't have used that skinny-dipping line if I had known it was you.
Tee-hee!
Intellectual denizens indeed! Yes, probably the social media save many women the "ick" factor on that first date!
