    Default match.com WTF?

    I am coming across some interesting individuals on this site, lol.

    Here is a message I received today..

    Well, hello there! :o)

    So, while I fear that admitting this right out of the box might seem odd -- but what happened?!?! I'd be lying if I didn't admit to remembering your profile from some time ago and your pics were quite different. [I'm a sucker for eyes. And I have a really good memory. ;-)]

    There was one where you had a really sweet smile (not to take anything away from your current ones)...

    I'm just sayin'!!! :o)

    At the end of a long month (which involved travel to the global hot spot that is Paramus, New Jersey, among other slightly-more-intriguing-but-in-hindsight-it's-still-great-to-be-back-home places), it's good to know that someone is out there pining away for me, absolutely smitten, and in between checking out my profile time after time, likely working on building a shrine to me in the corner of her room... Kinda makes sitting in the middle seat on a flight back from Denver not so bad in hindsight! ;-)

    Either that, or that wasn't a wink and you just had some dust in your eye. ;-)

    So, I think I'm supposed to prattle on about how much we have in common, blah, blah, blah...but I'll just leave you with one critical question, the answer to which will determine whether we should grab coffee in the near future or whether we're doomed to simply having once been passing email acquaintances...

    Who is your favorite Muppet?

    :o)

    No, really! :-)


    Happy evening!

    PS: Isn't Mooresville more or less on the southern edge of Canada? ;-) What the heck are you doing all the way up THERE?!?! All us cute guys are down HERE! :o)

    Here is my response...

    Don't you get tired of yourself from time to time too!!!???!!! I didn't quite catch where Batman came into the picture though, hmmm....

    Muppets? Aren't a bit old for that, lol, or did you get carried away with the coke this evening? Just joking..

    Honestly, I thought you might be interesting and apparantly I was right. I have no shortage of folks asking me for a cup of coffee but I did indeed wink at you. If you'd like to meet fine if not that's fine too. I won't sweat it either way.

    Actually, I hitchhiked up here this evening. Yep, I was able to convince a trucker to give me a ride up this way.

    No, I was born here. Unfornuately, I didn't get a say so where I was to be born before my conception or while I was still in the womb. Being a flight attendant, I am well traveled. I have lived in DC and Hilton Head.

    Where are you from?

    I read on another site that match.com was being sued for sending bogus emails and having people that actually work there go on dates with people on the site who weren't getting any matches.

    Dude. I did match and this thing has NO SCREENING. These guys are a bunch of con artists. Many copy and paste thier email and send them out in masses. Like spam. Notice how they never refer to your name. Notice how they don't point out anything revelavant from your profile and pics. Anyone with a CC, computer, and time is on there. BE CAREFUL and save your money by not using these sites.

    Someone close to me fell for a Nigerian scam artist that she met on match.com. In my experience (upon observing my friends) Hot or Not seems to work better for actually meeting people.

    You have to be kidding about that, right? Hot or Not is just silly ! Have you ever met anyone from there ?

    I have actually met a couple of nice guys. In fact, I have a second date with one of them this evening. The other guy I meet was really nice but we just didn't have that connection. Most of the guys do refer back to something in my profile when sending me a message. I am sort of bombarded with messages. I don't want 5 dates from 5 different guys a week, lol. But I want to find a decent person I can spend some time with.

    I think things are far less traditional than they use to be though. Everybody wants to meet for coffee or a drink. Not one guy has offered to take me to dinner first. Not that I need to necessarily eat dinner but I just sort of thought that's what you did. Or at least before I met my ex-husband 10 years ago that's how it worked anyway.

    And I think you're right about things being less traditional now.

    I'm not on it. A friend of mine is and yeah she's meets more people on it than other sites. I don't really know much about dating/networking sites though so just take what I've shared with a grain of salt
