    From My Inbox…

    Slim pickin’s this week.

    I guess I was ovulating or something this week… More emotional than usual. My usually icy exterior was melted a bit by the pathetic dudes that emailed me… *sigh* It was a moment of weakness and I deleted a couple of real gems because I felt sorry for them.

    It won’t happen again, lol.

    Here’s what is left:

    atlanta dating 34684858 From My Inbox...
    Really? This was one of two pictures on his personal ad and if it had been his secondary picture, I probably would have just chalked it up to a quirky personality. But this was his main picture. Dude. Get a freakin’ hobby. Dressing up your dog is funny. Taking pictures of your dog in your suit for your personal ad is not.

    Atlanta matchmaking 30374838 From My Inbox...The bad news: he’s a barista at Starbucks which also means he works weird hours and is pretty poor. (I’d recognize that apron and black shirt ensemble from a mile away — I ran the bar off and on for six years, back when you had to MAKE drinks, not push buttons. I’ve derailed myself, lemme focus.) The good news: he’s a barista at Starbucks and can get you free lattes!

    decatur matchmaking 18662496 From My Inbox...Ok. Let’s talk about what is happening in this picture. I think he’s wearing fatigue overalls, but it could be part of a military uniform… Though I think it’s just for fashion (gag!) because, last I checked, turn tables didn’t fit into your military issued duffle. He’s got a matching cap, y’all. *sigh*

    Marietta singles 27503155 From My Inbox...Yet another public bathroom picture… If the dude just cropped the hand dryer out, it would be a decent picture (as bathroom mirror pictures go, anyway.) At least he has his shirt on.

    fun+friday+night From My Inbox...The caption for this picture said “A Fun Friday Night”. I’m all for keeping your body in shape. I like a man with a strong chest and arms. For sure. I also like a guy who understands that Friday night is a social night. Go to the gym on Saturday morning dude! I also love that he’s wearing his bling-bling gold watch.

    Sorry for the skimpy inbox post. I know some of you were looking forward to it and I feel like a big failure this week. I promise to be heartless next week, lol…
