Hehehe....

Allright, this is getting pretty darn rediculous with the emails.I keep pretty busy and it takes me a little while to respond to some of the flood of emails I have been receiving. Honestly, I get like 1's of emails a week or so and I'm getting finger cramps from all of the replying. In order to take some of the load off of myself I have ordered my cat to evolve some opposable thumbs so that she can filter through my messages and make replies.If you get a message from me that mentions going nuts at the opening of a can of tuna or complaining about litter box etiquette or chasing pixies through the living room then it's definitely the cat replying. She's sweet but ornery. She is working hard on those lil kitty thumbs so it won't be long, unlike the time I tried to train her to use the toilet. That was a stressful week and she still hides at the sound of running water. Anyway, this ludicrous flood of 1's or 2's of emails per week has to stop ladies. I'm only human. I'M NOT A MACHINE!!! Ok, I'll admit to being a love machine. Love machine not in the mechanical, repetitive kind of way but more like if Barry White's voice had an unholy lovechild with a Sybian and a Belgian master chocolatier. If that were a machine built for love than that is the one I would be. A chocolatey, vibrating sexy voiced love machine. With Antonio Banderas' Zorro accent but sexier because I'm well vibrated chocolate. Oh yeah.

Great ice breaker, but it doesn’t follow through. Now that you have them at ease and their defenses are relaxed you want to give them something to bite on too.

You could add a bit more telling something intriguing about yourself, to give them an interesting yet incomplete picture. That way they got to reply to learn the rest.

Doesn't this constitute a personal ad?

Why don't we stop pretending, and meet in Vegas for a quickie wedding?

At least it should weed out the subs too stupid to understand sarcasm.

That's a good point. The thing I'm running into more and more over there are bots. Easy to spot, a bot replies way too fast and with something like... I'll go and nab one of my bot emails that I've gotten and post it..


"I am glad to read your message and I would love to get to know you better....you may add me or e-mail me on fun*****@yahoo.com so that we shall be bale to get acquinted with eachother and arrange means of meeting eachother."

Well, it was a canned reply that had nothing to do with what I sent which was just a hello. The spelling is also atrocious which would make me question a subs compatibility with me anyway.

So a tactic of marketers is to run bots, a computer program that autoenrolls a fake user.. actually a shitload of em and when you send a message, it responds with some vague thing which tries to get you to email em. Once they have your email you go on an email list which they either use to spam you or sell to other spam marketers.

So beware.

If I were looking I'd be charmed and intrigued.
