A flavour

Have I got a treat for you...  When you join an online dating site, you receive all kinds of emails. From the zero effort (hi. how're u?) to the creepy (hey baby, want to give some young c0ck a break?) to the plain bizarre.  Below is an unprompted first email I received from "Gar" (on POF in case anyone is wondering what sites to avoid) - original punctuation and bad spelling included.
"Im sick o this sh*t, im not perfect r anything but u said ur singlwe 6 months and arent getting any ,try being me single for years and still not gettin closer to setting sum ,,

ok the boxes which u have which i can tick are the big shoulders box and the swimming box ,,also im quite good at guitar so i could teach u that 2 ,,in exchamge for sex of course if thats ok with u cause i may as well start trading for it ,i aint gonna get it any other way cause i never seem to tick the watch what u say r language box ,but i am pretty deadly on guitasr so bear that inm mind next time your trying to learn a metallica solo,,,,
 
not much good with computerzs though ,alwauys seem to press the send button b4 im done by mistake ansd jus one more thing ,boybandz are shite ,beginning middle and end of story ,

ok and finally id like to ask why u dont have a picture of yourself up cause u sound lovely and if u think im askin cause im afraid your fat ,im not ,.. i love fat chicks too ,more o them to love thats all and im seriouis about that so stop bein so sexist and homophobic please

anyway ,i doubt u will get back to me but if u decide that my mail was in fact funny and not psychotic,im Gar ,i have big shoulders an average sized willy and im lookin for a girlfreind ,,o ye and im deadly on guitar.  what do u really look like :)?"
 
Are your eyes hurting?  "Boybandz"? "Sexist and homophobic"?  No clue.  A depressing thought: is this indicitive of the calibre of single men in Ireland..?

    Loving your posts, also loving that I'm not the only online Mentaller Magnet. That gives me hope. :)

  2. Many years ago I heard that if someone swears repeatedly in their first letter to you (this was before the Internet), then they are psychotic. I think that e-mail just proved the validity of that advice! What a catch...
