I know we all have 'key words' on our profiles, but it really gets my goat when I get emails from guys who see a 'key word' and try to impress me by spouting off a few lines by cut, copy, pasting crap they found by googling my 'key words'.

Especially when one of them is a rare and not easy to find one. Like Ofra Haza. Had a guy email me 'hi,
how are you tonight? im a transplanted yankee in north carolina from ny? maybe we can talk. and an im a nin a lu to you too... '

Took me a minute to realise what he was referring to, as I am not THAT fluent in Hebrew, (never said I was) but dang it, that ain't even one of my favorite songs she sings. In fact, since Madonna did a remake of it, it kinda sucks patooty and I don't really listen to it. (I like Ofra's old stuff, like Jerusalem of Gold, etc)

Anyhoo, I hate when people see my 'key words' and decide to venture into a topic they do not know.

Anyone else have a pet peeve about these lovely one-liner emails you get or people who claim to know what they are talking about just to get your attention and waste your time?

Enlighten me as to the many various ways people who don't bother to read your profile like to annoy you?

(Besides, I tend to only communicate with people who post in forums. I can read them better and get a better sense of who they are and how they think. Screw MatchMaker, never worked for me...)

It peeves me when all da sexy ladies live so far away.

my fav is are you single

I say count your blessings that you have men who actually READ your profile and attempt to make a connection on some level vs. just asking you your boob size!

Who's to say the guy is NOT fluent in Hebrew and knows more about it than you do, and he incorrectly thought you were because you posted something "Hebrew'ish" on yours?

I say lighten up a bit...it's just the internet and not like he was pleading for you to have his bastard child or your hand in marriage.

Hey, I'll call ya if you still wanna talk to me and thats a nice picture you got,you sorta look like a porcelein doll.

Upon asking him what he was referring to, he had no idea. Hence knowing he was not fluent. I can get around Israel and speak with my family and my daughter, I just do not speak with the native accents (I have more of a Russian undertone to my Hebrew).

And it is not that. It is the annoying fact that people take a quick glance, see something they think will impress a person and send a ONE LINER EMAIL. Those are annoying.

I wouldn't have minded so much if it was more like this:

'Hi, my name is _____.

I saw that you liked Ofra and one of my favorite songs is Im a nin a lu. Which songs of hers do you like?

Although I am orignally from NY, I have moved to NC. I rather like/dislike it here, but I moved here for job/family/etc.

Have you traveled? I see on your profile you are originally from LA, but you live in Kansas now. Why the move?

Etc.....'

GET THE HINT? I never send a one liner email to a potential match. What's the point? They get deleted faster than a rabbit having fun with his mate...

If you want to email and carry a conversation, pick a topic and ask questions.

It's what I would do... (JIMHO)

Of course, people who attack other people who are just posting their opinions don't rate much either.

(BTW, my boob size? Perfect for the one who gets to touch them.)

little bit change and boy done blown up

You mean you will actually dial my number and press send?

YES!

I have been waiting for you.... I want to hear your funny little accent. (Sorry, from California. Even the Kansans have funny accents. Mine will probably be hilarious for you. No, I do not sound like Schwarzenegger.)


BTW, thank you for the compliment. Wait till you see the one I took the other day on my way to school!

what are you referring too?

Mirror (do you still have my number?)

yeah I believe so. Are you gonna be around this evening?

Yes. I don't leave my phone unattended. LOL.

It doesn't matter where I am, I will answer my phone if you call, okay?

tick tock...........
