What the %&*$???

Ok, I just couldn’t resist writing a part three about men and their unexplainable behavior. This time its about the one you can’t get rid of.


Let me preface this one by saying I have a couple major online dating profiles, Yahoo personals and Plenty of Fish. Recently a friend told me about another one, OKCupid, so I just signed up on it, as it’s a free one like Plenty of Fish. I am not a paying member on any sites, so for paying sites like Yahoo, I can’t contact anyone on it unless they ARE a member AND they contact me first and give me their email address or instant message ID.

There is this guy who found me on Yahoo personals several months ago. He sent me an email telling me how beautiful I am and how I’m just his type and he couldn’t wait to meet me. No contact info. I can’t reply back, however I can view his profile, which I do with anyone who messages me. I have to be honest. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all, and I’m NOT superficial at all, but this guy had to be one of the ugliest men I have ever seen. I mean REALLY, REALLY ugly! He might be great looking to someone else, and ugly people need love too, but he is not my type. I have zero attraction to him.

Since I have no way of contacting him regardless, I move on and don’t worry about it. A day or two goes by and he sends me another email, yet again telling me how beautiful I am and how he hopes to hear from me. Again, no contact info. A third email arrives the next day, this time he sends his email address. I send him a very nice note saying thank you, and that I appreciate the compliments but I am not interested. He emails me back basically asking why and begging me to reconsider. I don’t answer. I don’t feel like I need to, since I stated I’m not interested and I really don’t want to say “because you’re the ugliest man I’ve ever laid eyes on”, I’m not that mean!

Every day for weeks I got an email from him as if I never had emailed saying no. Then he finds my profile on Plenty of Fish! Now he is emailing me from two different sites. Plenty of Fish is free, anyone can contact anyone for no cost. You can also see when someone has read an email you sent them. He sends me email after email on there, I don’t respond. He finally concludes I’m not interested, sends me an email to that effect, and wishes me well.

By George I think he finally got it! Whoops, spoke too soon, three days later I have another email from him. After a couple weeks of emailing me every day begging and pleading, he finally quit. HOLY COW! Seriously, if I had ever been inclined to give him a shot (which I never was) but if I had, there is no way on earth I would after all that. I mean sheesh, there’s such a thing as being persistent but that’s just downright ridiculous. That was a few weeks ago. And then today, I get an email on this new site, OKCupid. Sure enough, it’s from him. Sigh!
