Camel Shit
On my dating website page this man decided to message me solely based on looks. Flattered, however.. .this is just silly!!
This is what he wrote me-
Subject: Your Suhi
“Hello just wondern are u tryn to have a seriouse relationship and want to knw if i could b tha man for u u look like a rose sent from heaven and want to make u blossom with love everyday we cherish together and show wat real love is and making u smile and happy everyday if u give me a chance”
This was my response…
“Wow, you’re really jumpin right into it huh? I mean, it all sounds real sweet and whatnot, but I’m a realist about this kind of stuff.. of course its valid to have an opinion on someone’s looks, but you don’t even know my name… and that’s an awful lot to promise- love everyday?
what if I just said hells yea!! are you the type of guy that will manipulate that situation to your advantage? or is there merit and truth in your words?
ok… that was a mouthful… I don’t usually go on rants like that, but I was somehow inspired to do so.
By the way- I don’t know if you’re aware, or if it was a typo- but in the subject line you typed “your suhi”… and didn’t know what that meant so I looked it up… it has a couple definitions- in Egypt, it means camel shit… hahahahaa… ahem.
and another one said born in “abnormal position” sooo I’m thinkin it was a typo… hehe
ok, now that I probably scared you off … lol”
I discovered a few things about myself, and the world; I am an editor, and the word for camel shit. Who woulda’ thought?
I must be getting too old for the internet. I thought the “Subject: Your Suhi” was some kind of imitation of a pig farmers call to the animals. I pondered that line for a good thirty seconds asking myself “Why would you greet an intended “Date” like that?”
I know this makes me a bit of a snob but who makes the first move and presumably intending to make a good impression by pretending (I hope) that they can’t spell. I am the first to admit that I rely on the spell-checker and I never read my copy of “Strunk and White” but… but…
No I will not rant. I’m sure he is a very nice person with a good heart once you get to know him. A sweet guy looking for “True Love” just like the rest of us. I wish him well.
I completely agree about the spell-check. I mean these computers make it easy for people to be not as smart as they once were, the least they can do is use their resources!
And he probably is a very nice person, however I will never know. I sent the above response and not only did he respond, but he responded with the same message as before. I called him out on his stupidity, kindly of course, and we parted ways.
Onward!! The dating must continue!
On a side note- thanks for commenting
