When it comes to this internet dating, I would say that my getting a reply from my initial message average is about 1 in 3. Of the messages I receive, I would say the inverse ratio of my replying is true or 2 in 3. Of those that I am able to start an internet conversation, I'd say I meet about 2 in 5... all these ratios are totally made up; I have no data to back them up; but this is my best guess... in any case, here are some of the ladies(?) I never met:
-There was that 40 year old white lady who wrote me "If only I was 10 years younger..."
-The other white lady in her mid-thirties with a semi-racist ILOVEASIANBOYS (or something very similar to that) screen name who just wrote "You're ADORABLE."
-There's the girl that asked me if I wanted to talk over the phone. I sent her my number... nothing... I send her an email a couple days later, and she says she's seeing someone...
-There's the girl from Georgia who doesn't have a southern accent. Date setup up, the day of, she says she can't make it; reschedule for the next day; says she's held up at work again; says she'll let me know if her weekend is free...
-There's the girl that asked ME if I wanted to meet up for coffee... wasn't interested, so I ignored... next day she emails me again "well, I guess not... good luck" (at least she had a sense of humor about it)
-There's the girl that sent a chat request; talked about how she also had a maltese, a boy; that we should have a pet date... that her dog would probably end up raping my Swan... I actually thought that was funny and we actually chatted some more; but she was really boring after that...
-There's the girl that we set up a tennis date... the day before and the day of, no confirmation, so the next day I message her on Facebook "gg" and de-friend her and she replies "gg?" (for you non-gamers, GG = good game; usually something the loser says before losing and leaving the game)
-and finally, there was that girl who worked at a crisis hotline... I wanted to make conversation so I asked her if she'd ever told anyone they should just cash out and take their chances on the other side... and she replied "WTF, that's messed up!".... looking back... she made the right choice.... but in my defense, I'm just a dumbass... and also, she said she was Buddhist... so wouldn't suicide just be like a reset button?... and also, I've worked in customer service, and there were times when people would call and I would think "geez... just kill yourself and stop bothering me~!"
... I think I've said enough ignorant and offensive things for now
