Ok, I think I went off the deep end just a little. Or maybe a lot. I might have radically overreacted. But it really PISSED ME OFF. Remember how I made that myspace page? I was very deliberate to put on it that I was on myspace for FRIENDS. I did not pick relationship or anything like that. There is nothing on the page indicating that I am looking for love, cause I definitely am not. So, I got two unsolicited emails from guys wanting to get to know me. In the same day. The first one I blew off fairly gently. The second I kind of reamed. This is what the second guy send me, word for word, typo for typo. I cut and pasted it:

Looking for friends first, although open to something more meaningful later if that is what the future holds. I want to feel comfortable enough to be myself. I am impressed with those who are real, have good morals, treat man like a man, open doors, pull out chairs, flowers and any other little gestures that show you are being thought of, someone who loves having fun and has a good sense of humor, cares enough to show compassion. I'm a little old fashioned and a hopeless romantic and want to meet the same in a person. I have no place in my life for games, insecurity, jealousy, abusers,cheaters, liars and non-supportive selfish behavior. I am clean and sober and would prefer to be around those who are the same. I believe in God. I am very impressed with women who show active good work ethics, it shows responsibility and good values. I enjoy watching a movies next to a fire, long walks and talks, picnics, sunsets, dinners, dates, and laughing so hard it hurts,i consider myself as nice,Humble,Realible,Sence of Humor,Respectable man What about you? i think it will better if both of us talk on yahoo messanger kindly send your yahoo id to me now so we can talk more better over there,here is mine collinscontractorcareforkiss@yahoo.com this is my private id feel free to mail me or chat with me on it.

Ok. This was totally unsolicited and unwanted. So, maybe I overreacted. Let me know what you think. My reply:


RE: hi
Body: I'm Ann, a 38 year old bisexual woman who has been mentally and emotionally abused for the past 11 years by her ex-husband. I don't put up with being treated like a possession or servant at all at this stage in the game. I have an IQ that most men can't believe and I used to be a computer technician before becoming disabled. I am blunt, quite outspoken, am a gay rights advocate and enjoy voting for Democrats. My dog is one of my best friends as she is the one who has been there for me through my illnesses and has a pillow on my bed. I'm not looking for a date right now as the men I meet have a tendency to either talk down to me, assume I'm desperate because I'm divorced and overweight, or simply snub me. So, if you have a nice, single sister, have her drop me a line.
There it is. I sent it. And going back to take a look, the guy has now deleted his profile, not that his profile actually said anything about him in the first place. I'm not kidding. He filled out the name part and that's about it. So let me know if you think I was justified or not. I don't actually know what pissed me off more, his grammar and spelling or his presumption in emailing me that crap in the first place.
