OK… I swear there are men out there that are officially CRAZY!
I mentioned a couple of days ago about the new dating site that I found that I was looking forward to using once my cold went away. So I look at profiles, mostly cause everybody starts out with little thumbnail pics. I look at all the new profiles… you never know; sometimes guys don’t always pic the most flattering pics of themselves for their main photos! Anyway… a feature of the site is the ability to see who viewed your profile. It doesn’t really mean much but sometimes I can look at a profile and not really be interested but a guy will write me anyway all excited that I viewed him. Normally I just delete the message. Sometimes they are cute enough and I write back… can’t always be too picky…
So, if you’re following me so far… the other night I was just randomly looking at profiles of people who were online. If I am interested in somebody, I will write him. However, you are only allowed to start 5 conversations a day not being a paying member. So there was this profile…
He’s only 21, he didn’t write much and the pic is kinda lame… I really wasn’t interested enough to waste one of my 5 hellos so I just closed the profile. Now, keep in mind, he can see that I looked at his profile. So he writes me… all he says is, “Lets chat sometime.” I responded by saying that I was quite a bit older than him and what did he want to chat about… He wrote back saying something about how he was the best at Karaoke. I am going to Karaoke Saturday night so I invited him to go with the group. He sent me his yahoo messenger…
OK so the IM conversation was slow at best. I was actually working on some online classes while we were chatting. We traded a few pics. I was trying to get him to show me a shirtless pic cause I wanted to see if he really was just a twig. (Worried I may break him, I don’t mind younger guys if they look older…) He comes out with, “So what interested you in me?” and “Why have you taken such a strong interest in me all of a sudden?” I told him that if I recalled correctly, he was the first to contact me. He pointed out that I had looked at his profile “first”. So I tell him that I look at every body’s profile that looks under 45 and half decent looking. I would have written him if he had really interested me so…. I say, “Well, any interest I may have had was just lost so I am off to bed. Nice game player! LOL! Have a good night.” He comes back and says that he adds everybody who looks at his profile and that I am not being honest. By this time I had deleted all of our conversations on the site, deleted him off my messenger, blocked him and sent him a final goodnight.
Why was it so important to his ego to think that I was chasing him? Why on earth would he think that I was lying? Was he not present during the initial messages sent back and forth? There wasn’t exactally a very strong interest on my part…
Why do I get all the crazies?

Hi,
My thoughts is he did not no the capacity of the lady he was talking with…Smile
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You think that guy was a crazy? He sounded kinda normal. Stupid, but normal. I’ve got a small (but ever growing) cache of crazy people’s ads I’ve found on Craigslist (some men, some women) but all equally insane. It’s a bit of a hobby, really. Some people collect playing cards. Others have lighters of match boxes they’ve collected from around the world. I just hoard internet personals and NSA ads involving “leather harasses” and strawberry jams.
The jam utilized for the abundant seeds, obviously. Nice to stumble upon a fellow Portlanders blog.
I think what I found crazy was his insistence that I was not being honest when one, we didn’t know each other so he really had no reason to believe I was lying and 2, it was all there in the chat log in black and white! He contacted me! It’s like holding up an orange and saying this is an apple and you’re lying if you tell me differently! You would call that crazy wouldn’t you? Either way… I accept stupid too. LOL!
A guy’s perspective (though not necessarily the same thought process used by that guy): if someone is trying to get a picture of me without a shirt on, I tend to assume they are interested in me. That doesn’t work the same way for women?
Just a thought ! Could it be because he is just a kid? You know 21 years old! All men think they are hot and every womans dream when they ar 21! Hopefully he will grow out of this as I did. He’s thinking with his “little head”! If I may ask what dating site were you on as I have never found one where you could contact anyone without paying. Have a nice time and you look like an interesting youg lady so his loss. BYE!!ZMAN4U2HVE@hotmail.com
Wait a minute. Only 5 potentials a day? Thirty-Five a week and 150 a month, etc.? Post the name of the the site so none of us ever land there…even accidentally. That you could potentially find someone you might connect with given those odds is unbelievable, even for a statistician…which i might be. What is this hellish site, luv? Heh.
love you…
He mighta sounded kind of crazy, but maybe he was just being himself. When we chat online it’s not the same as talking face to face.
