Adventures in (Contemplating) Online Dating...

I haven't really gotten a hold on the online dating thing. Mainly because it's so hard to transition into the whole online to offline thing. It's just so hard to get a feel of a person from one-dimensional writing.

On Craigslist, even though a woman posts in the LTR or the Long-Term-Relationship section, apparently they’re just looking for sex. One day after posting in the LTR section asking if someone wanted to go out and do something today, I got a message from this one guy. All it was was an image. An animated image of these crudely drawn figures having sex. I wish I could copy and paste that image, but for some reason cannot. A few days later I post another ad and he replies to it. In this email, there's a pic of a cute dog. Since we're apparently replying with images, I write him back:



I received email from another dashing fellow -

Meat Man: I’ve got 8” of meat & am looking for somewhere to put it.

Me: It really depends on the type of meat. Most likely it should be refrigerated or frozen. Unless it’s dry cured, then you’d be good to leave it in a cool, dry place and I’m sure that will keep by itself for a long time.


What really bugs me the most is the married and attached men replying to Long-Term-Relationship ads.

Hypothetical Me: So Darling, when this relationship progresses and we decide to move in together, would I move into your house? Or will you and your wife move in with me?


This one guy keeps on emailing me. He seemed nice and normal in his first email. Then in his third, he mentions the size of his, shall we say, "third leg" and what he would like to do with it. Great. I mean, it’s really nice to know that he has a dick and is not a eunuch. But it just makes me wonder, does that crap actually work on some women? At least wait until we've met in person. Of course I don’t reply back. A few unreplied emails later, I receive this:

Non- Eunuch: Can I get my cock sucked?

Me:
You may require surgical intervention in order to remove some of your ribs, but I'm sure you can get it done. Good luck.


I admit that sex with a stranger is intriguing, but not really something I would be interested in. It comes down to this, I think I respect myself too much. Crazy, I know. I’m as self-absorbed and self-deprecating as the next girl. I hate my body and a lot of the time, I hate myself. I also love myself too much. I’d rather stick to the fantasy, because at least then, I won’t be hating myself the next morning.
