Date Machine: Rate THEIR pick-up lines - some letters I've received through the ONLINE PERSONALS...plus throbbage.

Posted by zeitgeisty

As there's been a lot of discussion over at Amboabe's and Fishnet's stations lately about the way men and women approach each other predatorily and otherwise and all these shaky perceptions we all seem to have as far as 'rates of success' in dating/sex/love are concerned. I figured it might be interesting to share with you some letters I'VE received from women, when I was still using the Hooksexup personals. Unfortunately for this blog entry, I actually deleted most of my mailbox, but it does give a general sense that there's really not too much of a difference gender-wise in the way we reach out to each other....


“DON’T BLOCK ME FUCKTARDS” 
 

they are freaks. maybe the sarcasm in "you're not funny" didn't register (that was the headline of the first message i sent to you)
i wish the politeness police were around when some ugly perv here was sending me links to his homemade porn site featuring his pasty white ass. how thoughtful.

what i said was that we have similar ideas about what constitutes a proper first date. and i also asked if you are looking for just a friend.

(I think this one was commenting on the fact that Hooksexup initially blocked her letter)




“HEY YOU!” 

just thought i'd send you an email and tell you that you are indeed very handsome. but, i am sure you get that all the time. do you also get the whole "you're so awesome, why are YOU single?" ? i certainly do and it drives me up a fucking wall. i have no major flaws, save for the fact that i talk during movies sometimes (but not in the theatre; just at home in front of TV).

anyhow, what is your story?



Hello” 

you seem nice, cute, funny...
but what really got me was the picture of you with the elvis costello album cover. thats hot!
let's chat?



“YES!” 

ha! what a great profile you have...
so much more interesting and real than
the others who write on this site.

..although, some might think mine is a tad boring as i don't like to make my naughty side too evident.

write me if you wanna hang sometime as friends~


At last I’ve found you 

but where does this bedtime paradise lie exactly> lie exactly? In duvet cover? egyptian sheets? tastefully covered shams? Th perfectly downy summer-weight blanket? Irresistibly fluffy bolster-size pillows?

I'd also like o know where you've procured your collection of saddle shoes. Sadly, in a rare act of rebellion, my mother disposed of all the pairs she had to wear through twelve years of catholic school, and I sincerely feel this is a severe phantom-limb irony to my otherwise hip and eclectic sartorial closet. You don't happen to know of someplace that manufactures them in middle-range ladies sides.

And if you're not bored of me yet, would you mind explainig why you've selected Redford as you releb-resemblence, when you so clearly take after Pacino on the Golden age pre-sceenery-chewing years? Or do all the girls tell you that?


----------------

As you see, these are all decent introductions I suppose, but hardly mind blowing stuff. In fact, I must say in each of these cases I gave a polite response but ultimately never followed up. The interesting part of all this, is how I keep hearing from so many women that the letters they receive are so uninspiring! Well ladies, in the end we're all the same really... just as uninspiring or awesome, bland or zesty... you just happen to like things in prettier colors than we do.

Pattie Boyd was a beautiful creature.  Don't forget that husband George Harrison wrote "Something" for her.  I read the autobiography "Wonderful Tonight" and was fascinated to discover Boyd is an amazingly dull, vacuous woman with no magic save a remarkable sense of style, plush childlike beauty, and good timing.  The lyrics of each song show men in the throws of infatuation (and in Clapton's case, a lesser talent coveting the woman of his artistic rival).  I do believe men can fall in love with someone purely because her beauty evokes a longing they translate into some form of auto-erotic art.  Reviewing a song an ex-boyfriend wrote for me, I realized it had nothing to do with who I am and everything to do with the momentary quelling of his own misery when we "fell in love".  That story concluded with coke and strippers.  Patti Boyd's tale ended in frazzled frosted hair and middle-aged chipmunk cheeks.  "Laaaaaaayla!"

SO true about the frosted, frazzled hair and middle aged chipmunk cheeks... Just shows you that all that youthful inspiration is all such an illusion... like most of life is for that matter...

Maybe THAT just means you prioritize the wrong things...

Z: I think that picture of the older Patti is really attractive. Look at her eyes, those thick aged hands. That is a handsome older woman by all accounts. At least as attractive as that Helen Mirren pic you had up...

MMmmMMMmm... thick aged hands!

Toluca_86 said:

I feel like we've had this conversation before.

Sure, I'm attracted to a person's looks on a physical level.  Very much so.

But when it comes to what INSPIRES me.  What inspires me to work harder to make the world a better place, to create art, to keep on living, it's much more about beautiful and fascinating personalities and minds.

But, I guess I do have the benefit of having attended schools for the past several years where most students are whip-smart, very driven, and pretty interesting.  It's definitely easier for me to be optimistic about humanity as a whole than say, when I used to live in the bible belt.

Well, I think I know what amboabe is getting at, maybe.

I don't think I'd jump in the sack with someone more than about 10 years older than me... But... there IS something attractive about the kind of wisdom and confidence (and sometimes sensitivity) that comes with experience.

Ok, so the consensus is that none of us know how to write a proper email introduction, and we're all horribly boring.  It's so easy to criticize, but much more difficult to actually produce something of value.  Lets see your stellar intros, Zeit?  Or ones that did capture your attention?

I can't really remember mine, although I did get pretty good at it after awhile.. I think success is all about practice, and once you've been on a whole bunch of these dates you get to become an expert at the whole intro thing...

Usually I would pretty much cut to the chase, proposing to meet for coffee and danish right off the bat... At the end there, I'd say I could get a 'bite' from about 90 percent off all the fish I trawled for...

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.
