Top 10 WORST Emails from Guys on Match.com
Let’s face it – truth is always stranger than fiction. So, I decided to compile a list of my favorite emails from Denver men on match.com. These are ACTUAL quotes…served up straight. And yes ladies, these men are walking the streets of the mile high city. Try not to fight over them.
10. Annie is my favorite play on Broadway. (You already sound like a child molester.)
9. (from an old 52 year old dude) Did you know that Frances Folsom Cleveland married President Grover Cleveland when she was 21 and he 49? They had a beautiful White House wedding and it was the cheer of the nation back then. (Good to know since I wasn’t paying attention in Mrs. Clark’s 8th grade U.S. History class.)
8. So I’ll get right to it — want to grab a beer? Nome of that “coors light” shit though, a real beer. (What, like a PBR? Or a Natural Light?)
7. I have a picture of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on my wall by my work-desk. (Are you flippin’ kidding me???!!!) When I look at their picture, I wonder. When I think of them, I see the idea of “humanitarianism.” We often think of actors as just actors or actresses … but really they are an expression of our best and worse selves. In Harrison Ford, I see the patriot; In Mel Gibson, I see the neurotic; In Nicole Kidman, I see the crusader, and in Demi Moore, I see the iconoclast. What about you? What do you see about the world in certain actor or actresses? (Dude, in your profile pic…I see “America’s Most Wanted” meets “Jersey Shore.”)
6. (from an asian man) I can tell that you’re the type to primarily date cauc-ASIANS b/c you fear that you wont find an Asian that’s taller than you? I have to admit, most are midgets. (Wow, if you were a white man, you would be called a racist! BTW..I’m turning you into the “Little People of America Association.’”)
5. Hey sexy, how was your Monday? I have seen dozens and dozens of women on here and you are far and away one of the hottest ones. (My Monday was great until you emailed me. Don’t ruin my Tuesday please.)
4. Wud up? (Your vocabulary skills clearly scream master’s degree.)
3. That’s what I am like: a heart of compassion – wanting to heal the world and make it a better place. I don’t just want to live; I want to make a difference. All while having fun, smelling the roses … wanting it all… (Do you work for Hallmark? If not I hear Dairy Queen is hiring.)
2. I work for a small up-and-coming terrorist organization in the marketing department. We’re doing great in Wyoming, but we have big hopes and dreams and want to start making a splash on the international circuit. As you can imagine, image is everything with terrorists. So I was thinking about doing a marketing campaign on cable TV, like CNN or maybe the home shopping network, can you help me out? (No, but maybe Suzanne Somers can – or Chuck Norris? Perhaps Sarah Palin when she’s done with her book tour?)
1. My American Dream includes a real life size action and full-of-life Barbie… and you fit the description. (Sorry Ken, get lost. I hear Skipper is single though.)
Feel free to share some of your best and worst…
Advice to ManLand: Chivalry Will Get You LUCKY
Dudes, listen up…not sure where you mind is at the present moment (besides counting down the days til March Madness)…but I need you to pay attention. Five Rockin Rules…that prove…Chivalry will get you LUCKY (aka laid)…
1. When the check comes — dive for it like a Mexican seagull attacking leftover tortilla chips and salsa on a Cancun beach. Unlike your loaded “Monday Night Football w/ the boys” nachos…, there is NO five second rule! Let there be NO moment of hesitation as soon as you even SEE the waiter coming toward the table with the check. Your hand needs to flutter like “wind beneath my wings”. Bonus points for actually quoting something clever from that cheesy movie.
If you need a visual (which I’m sure you do since you’re a guy)….Imagine Mr. Miyagi in Karate Kid…wax on…wax off…. Grab the check before your date notices. Make it seamless….like one of those iron-on patches your mom put on your jeans as a kid. Your damsel will realize quickly you can do wonder with your hands. Imagine your reflexes are one step ahead of your mind and more importantly — your common sense. Even better…excuse yourself an go to the bathroom…then slip your credit card to the waiter. Get used to the idea that it’s your job to primarily pay the dinner check — at least in the beginning.
If you’re already angry reading my words of wisdom – think about it this way….Women are stuck with childbirth, PMS, and painful periods! Be happy you’re only stuck with the check. Get over it. Move on. Yes, I know women want it all…equality and all that crap. But just suck it up….because you’ll never have to birth a child or wear a maxipad.
Rules 2 through 5 coming soon…
