So, as a sequel to Winning Online Dating Emails I got this week, I bring you Part II--Can Any Men out there spell, or use commas or proper punctuation? And can you all please stop writing "LOL" in your emails to me. I'm not a 17 year old texting teenie-bopper...
Here we go...
1. 34 year old man with no photo posted

2. 39 year old man who has posted several photos of himself with another woman his age...his sister? his maid? his secretary?
Hi

If you're going to write me four words (given that "you" and "are" are separate words), and 50% of them are basically incorrectly spelled, don't expect a response, Mr. Man with Cute Secretary. :) right back at you.
3. 38 year old man with unflattering photos (let's leave it at that)

4. 47 year old man from Las Vegas with no photo posted, and no profile posted--meaning I can see nothing about him...
What a great spirit you are....
Hello:Your profile suggested that you were on 'IM' mode and so I tried to initiate a conversation with you, unbeknown to me that the system was foolling me...LOL! Well when I found that out then I decided to fool it back by finding a way to forward the transcripts of what could have been my side of the conversation to you, should you have been there. I just thought it were nice for you to 'sense' my thrend of thought.
I am very taken by the way you think and most especially, your simple but yet 'penetrating' style. I share your fundamental Truism, "...the world is round and oblong......." and its subordinate, "...the most important thing in life...'
which evokes my appetite to want to find support for your reasoning by adding the one other well known Truism, which is that .....as certain as it is that the Sun will rise tomorrow, it is certain you and I WILL build A respectul and enduring friendship.
Please I would like you to sense my mind first, from this little epilogue so, when you find my picture you may have a better understand of the 'kindred' spirit that is reaching out to you. If I may hunbly beg you permission to explain, that that was the primary reason why I did not display my picuture on the site. In a way, I yearned that that one special person whom I am trying to find in this 'jungle' of a site, first reaches my MIND before she finds my face. And if you would trust me in what I tell you, I started taking interest in reading your profile only after the words 'My Tuisms' caught my eyes.
Believe me the strong and beautiful mind of a GOOD woman will stand the test of a tumoiltous world of marriage with all its tribulations long after the beauty of HER face had faded. My patients will linger on till I find that mind.. and I think I am near to it now and who knows if it is you. Yes beautiful, tell me what you think.
I'm not sure whether to be touched or scared. For now I have chosen the latter and blocked this guy from contacting me as he has sent me this email already twice. Chain email? Possibly. Probably. Do men really think they can win women over with this stuff? Wow.
Alas, onto yet another week...maybe I'll have more amusing stories to share with you next week--stay tuned!

Ewww! Be scared, and run in the opposite direction from this creep as fast as possible. If it's a chain letter, it needs a good smashing. If he actually wrote this, ugh, looks a bit unhinged to me.
This is why I wonder how anyone can find a match with online dating, I just picture an inbox filled with messages like these. Of course I know couples that have met online, but I still find it amazing. Someone needs to invent a dating site that will screen out messages that have grammatical errors, they could make a fortune.
As far as the man with the house who needs a wife, that's my pick for most pathetic!
My inbox is filled with messages like this. Actually, pretty consistently, the men who write to me write emails like this. But the men who I search out and contact, if they reply, are pretty articulate (unless someone else wrote their profile--but I can tell that in the first email). So, the key for women who online date is actually doing the searching yourself. I've heard someone say that in the end, women are the one's who pick their partners anyways, as they tend to be more selective, so this makes sense...

This is true in a rather broad sense - both online and offline. As a famous saying goes, a women has often determined in the first 10 sec if there's even a remote chance that she'll sleep with you..... the rest is just song & dance
