In what realm is that acceptable?! I guarantee he would not walk up to a random girl in person and say that as an introduction so why should it be ok online? Also, please tell me there is not a girl out there that would respond favorably to that.

I'm just a nice, genuine, single girl trying to find a decent guy. I don't have a lot of friends to go out picking up guys with and I tend to be a little on the shy side so the online avenue is comfortable and easy for me.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
I tried it for fun a few years back. I was amazed at how many pictures of...um...guys "stuff" I got in the first message. One was a close up and said "this is me right now, I'm at such and such hotel." What was I going to do, drop the phone and jump in the car and go speeding over?

Another guy tried to get me to agree to early morning, before work, booty calls. He was married but said his pregnant wife wasn't able so she was okay with it. Riiiight. That one messaged me MANY times trying to make that work.

Another was a guy who insisted I meet him at a bar, he said he even had a drink all ready for me. Right, like I am going to take a mixed drink from a stranger?

It is a shame the sites are so full of weirdos.

This realm. That's why there's so many bastard kids being born because those guys usually get the girl.
