Missive from the Amazon: The importance of being not so very earnest.
To say that I’m cynical about the prospect of ever finding twoo wuv would be an understatement. Yet for some reason, I keep looking for that oh so elusive dude, that Farm Boy, if you will, who’s gonna make me weak in the knees forevermore.
This is not he:
Subj: [none]
slanket01: Do you believe in love? like you, you are beautiful
Nor is this one, whom I have christened FunyMan:
Subj: “I’d like to knw more abt you.”
Wow ,
it’s nice to go through your profile soon and Am very looking up to
know more about you in getting intouch with me through email.Well,To me i’m looking for the right person to enjoy and share my life with and in hours of fun,i love to be active, work out, enjoy movies, love to travel, and just hang out…all is fun with the right person.I like coffee anytime of the day or night so lets get some somewhere !
Who know’s cos Life without Love is like a harp without strings.”
Peace out
Funy
Yes, I copied that verbatim. Yes, he did refer to himself in his profile as “Funy.” And yes, reading that made my brain melt a little. Okay, a lot. As it turns out, though, Funy and I are a 27% match, a little statistic in which I find much comfort.
A word to the unwise, guys of OKC: throwing up into a message all about how very much you just LOVE love is not actually a great strategy for approaching someone whose very first descriptor in her “I am …” line is “sarcastic.” You’re welcome.
