Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 5:08 am Post subject: I'm male |
|
|
Now, if I was going to send an email message to a Dave's user who I thought was an attractive and highly fluent Korean female and try and entice her to meet me, a generic white male, I'd first check out some of her posts. I'd figure out what kind of person she was. Further, if she really had boy parts and was in fact a guy, I'd probably figure it out rather quickly from her posting style. I mean if you read my ode... nah my prayer... to having barely legal women hit on 30something males, you'd pretty much figure out I was male. Right?
I know I can confuse someone because I have a female picture as my avatar. I mean several Dave's users have female avatars. Most of them happen to be a) their child b) a Korean celeb. I just happen to celebrate neither female children nor unattainable Korean celebs but people closer to my heart. Somehow that trips some guys up and I get an email from a Dave's user trying to take me out on a date.
I've been around on the Internet long enough to know there's a high percentage of users that come running with John Thomas in hand and hit on anything that seems or sounds female. (Once on IRC a friend with the name "Attila" had some guy hitting on him. When he finally broke it to the guy that he was also a male, the guy countered "well you have to admit your nick sounds very feminine." This is funny on so many levels.)
Anyway, this guy sent me not one, but two emails. I can't figure out why.
Version One:

Hi Mindme,
Where are you from? I was just randomly running through the cafe looking for anything interesting to read and I ran into your picture...
I hope you don't take offense to this, as I'm sure that's not the reason you posted your photo, but wow! you're cute. Are you still in Seoul? How about doing something totally off the wall and meeting me, a complete stranger, for a coffee?
Let me know at fle***@hotmail.com |
Version Two which followed within seconds:

Hope to hear from you anyway.

Geez, first time around I was merely cute period and the second time around I was all caps and a bang CUTE! The second time around his offer got either better or creepier: he offered not just coffee but a "something".

Normal boards have weirdos. Weird boards have more weirdos. An ESL board probably has one of the highest percentages of weirdos of any board  |

That's some choice blackmail material that fell right into your lap there, MM2.
And who was that gender-bender sock-troll some time ago who was pretending to be a Korean chick? (Talk about "bait-and-switch"!) |

I'm just trying to figure out if the BigBlackEquus sock has stopped trying to pass himself off as a gay black Canadian. |

Some guys just have too many Korean chicks hanging on to them that they have lost track of reality, as if all you have to do to get a date with a hot chick is to send her an email and say, "You're cute. Let's go out."
By the way, who is the hot chick anyway? And does she want to go out with me or not? |

Could be, but my money's on the other possibility. (Though the odds of them swearing they knew it all along are about 100%) |

Maybe they DID do some background checking, as they do ask you for coffee.
You do love Starbucks, don't you? |

It was "Junior." Kermo had him scouted right away but didn't say too much at the time. Billybrobby thought so, too, but wasn't 100% sure. Check out the latter part of "Dating Younger Women" thread:

Not to ruin your fantasy, but did you notice the copyright on the bottom of that picture? Did you think she had professional shots taken, then had to post them with a watermark?
P.S. Do you like combative frogs? |

It's always funny when a user can't figure out that you're male. |

That's been posted almost verbatim here sometime before... the hard up lurker persists. |
