This one was one of my favorites: “You sound amazing!!!! I wish the sane perfect women like you liked guys my age ;) ” Dude, who are you calling sane? But, after a few email exchanges, it turns out that the guy on the other end was a depressed and lonely 22 year old cutie pie who complained that younger women don’t do it for him. I suggested he try some Prozac and give it the ole college try! He asked for my whatsapp, but I politely declined.
Of course there were the creeps who only wanted to see a “pic.” Next. I didn’t even bother mentioning those in whatsapp chats with my friends because…why waste the data?
Then there was Stan. Oh, Stan.
Stan’s original email said “Dear Curvy intellectual, i like your straightforward approach. Its refreshing,Im very interested. Im an ivy educated ex/football player whose intellectual pursuits include histort,archarology and political cartoons.”
I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t sure that Stan was really “ivy educated” with the amount of typos in his email. Maybe he meant that someone named Ivy taught him in school? So, being the smart ass that I am, I challenged him on this. Needless to say, it did not end well. I relayed the whole thing on whatsapp to my cousin, and she laughed for ten minutes straight.
