Stupid emails on a dating site
When I see something stupid on our site at SexyAds.com or some other dating site (yes we check the competition) I always wonder what the person was thinking. Like a photo of a man looking like he lost his best friend, or worse looking angry and worse still, the idiot who posed with a gun. For the record, we won’t accept a photo of a person with a gun unless he or she is in uniform.
Nothing is worse than the emails some people think will work to get them a date. I have a profile on our site so people can write to me personally about any problems or to ask for help. Every day there are some who write who have never looked at my profile. They realize they can email me for free so they do. I’ve kept a few of the really good ones. What these men thought they were going to get by sending these to me (or to anyone!) boggles the mind.
- I am looking for an honest women. one that won’t lie to me and will be my friend even if nobody else will be. I need you to be totaly comitted to me in every way and I need to know that you can be discrete because I’m married. this is my fave
- yo! you wanna fuck or sumthin
- May the pleasure of God shine upon you and may you want to bring me to the United States to live with you and care for you forever. I am a good man of Nigeria. I am strong and faithful.
- I saw your picture and before we meet could I see more pictures of your tits?
- I like women like you because overweight women are really greatful when we pay attention to you. If you want to meet send me your real email address because I can’t buy a membership here because my wife would find out and she’d kill me ten ways to sunday.
- Is that your real photo or underneath are you really ugly? fave #2
- Hi, I read your profile and noticed that you are looking for new friends and I’d like to apply for the position as your number one friend. I’m 48, live in Phoenix and can spend time with you ever weekend. I have a talented tongue and I’m at least 8 inches in the pants department. ever weekend? I’m in Australia, buddy!
- big package waiting for you here babe
These are all introductory emails. Not one of them could have read my profile because it says I’m not looking for anyone; that I’m the maintenance person around the site. Online dating isn’t rocket science - frankly it’s easy to get a date, but those emails won’t work!
To be fair, I get a lot of really great emails from wonderful people; many remain as old friends. They understand that you have to be interested enough to find out all you can about them and then treat them with respect.
Those are hilarious!
Wow they all sound like such winners (note the sarcasm) Sometimes you have to wonder what’s going through their mind when they send an email like that. Do they really think crap like that is going to work?
Well it’s definitely one of the more interesting posts that I’ve read lately.
I cannot imagine what goes through someone’s mind when they write that stuff. You don’t have to be an advertising guru to know that most women would not reply to any of those. (I’ve learned not to say all women because I’ve been proved wrong there too!)
When I read those e-mails, I can’t hold being serious anymore. I am thinking are they just having fun joking or serious and meant it when they write it.
But those e-mails don’t work. I think I will send those kind of e-mails for fun. If I am really serious on a relationship, I would actually write about my background and relate to their background as my first thing to do!
