Wearing your heart on your.....keyboard?

Let's be honest. Putting yourself on an online dating website can say different things about you.
It can say:

- I am really busy with 17 jobs and 32 kids and have no time to try to find another other outside of the 22 hours I am awake and constantly busy.

- I have no luck picking up the opposite (or same for that matter) sex because I get real nervous and break into hives and sweat like Richard Nixon during the Watergate press conference.

- I fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down and prefer making people think I look like Chris Pine until I lure them into meeting and then the joke is on them

- I am really bored with life and need something to keep me from becoming a hermit

and so on and so forth

Any way you slice it, you really are putting yourself out there in what should be a pretty honest manner... opening yourself up to snap judgement that may or may not be in your favor. If that's not ok with you...probably don't sign up. Taking a chance at messaging someone is the same as walking up to them at the bar and offering to buy them a drink. They can either decline or accept. Same goes for emails. I can read them and reply or not. If I choose not to reply it's either because you wrote 2 words (see one sentence wonder post) and are uninteresting or I don't think there is any attraction. Call me a shallow, egomaniacal snob, but I doubt I am the first to want a physical attraction to someone I could potentially bare children with. Have you seen Carrot Top? Obviously that was not important in his parents' relationship and see what happens? So... if you write me and compliment me (u r pretty) don't get your manties in a tangle if I read and delete. Furthermore... if you email me and I read and don't respond immediately, please don't send a SWAT team after me and demand to know why I did not reply upon reading your carefully thought out 6 word email.

and then I get this 5 minutes later after he constantly refreshed his browser to see if I read it and when I did and did not reply he sent:

well your welcome!!!!

Really, guy? I am rude? Maybe at the exact moment I read your email the publishers clearing house showed up at my front door and informed me that I won a bazillion dollars. Would you reply immediately? And since you were so quick to insult me, even if I was interested, not gonna reply back now. Way to go, Captin Impatient. Patience is a virtue, Jesus said so.
