Even More Online Dating

So as you all know....yadda yadda yadda.

Recently, I received a message from an, ahem, gentleman on an online dating site.

"Hey, How's it going?

Brent"


Now, normally I like a *little* more substance to the messages I receive, but whatever.  Anyhow, I looked at his profile.  I didn't see anything particularly interesting or that matched with me personally, so I just kind of ignored the message.

A mere two hours later (four hours from when the initial message was received), I get a notification that I've received another message.  From this offender.

(Important sidenote: on most online dating sites, the default is one can see who views one's profile and when - so he did see I viewed his profile and, well, didn't respond.)

'Not good looking enough for you, eh?'

Now, I'm, of course, going to continue to ignore.  However - what response was he looking for?  Yes?  What was the purpose of his message?  Was he going to convince me I was superficial, and, somehow, subsequently convince me to go out with him?  He was a very average looking guy, in my opinion.  I kind of want to say his looks are the least of his problems.   File this under: peculiar man behavior.

I got to this via The Spinsterlicious Life and all I can say...is you are not alone. ZOMG so annoyed by this behavior. SO ANNOYED. I imagine the responsible menfolk standing around their computers going "hurrrrrrrrr" and then I think "Now, don't be harsh and judgmental." But the picture creeps back. "huuurrrrr."

We have the experience too and sometimes I feel ashame of myself about responding some emails because I don't mind if he's a good match to me or not as long as he send me message then I will just respond to him. Anyways,that just before and now I already learn from my mistake.
