    I may be cute…

    …but don’t call me a Cutie Pie, dipshit.

    Evah.

    Here’s an email I got this week:

    Hello Cutie Pie,

    Can you recomend what education a biology major would need to become a graphic designer?

    I am looking for my love, is that you?

    JSB

     I may be cute...

    NOTHING chaps my ass more than being called cutie pie — and by a STRANGER? Dude, we are not that familiar.

    When I’m dating someone or in a relationship with someone, I love pet names. Baby, darling, sweetie, blah blah blah. Deep down, the hopeless romantic in me just adores stuff like that.

    But being called a cutie pie by a dipshit who can’t spell? Yea, I’m not a big fan.

    My reply:

    I can suggest that you use this really helpful tool called Google. I’m sure it can answer your questions.

    And no, I’m most certainly not your cutie pie or the girl for you.

    Ugh.

    IÂ mean, I know it’s hard to start a conversation with someone… Especially someone who is clearly smarter and much more attractive than yourself (ha!). But COME ON DUDE.

    Tip for the dudes out there — your first introduction should include your name, not your initials. This opens the door for a woman to TELL YOU her name in return and should prevent you from calling her inappropriate pet names.

    Is this really a hard concept?
