    The Art Of The Email

    Email exchange I just had:

    Him:

    hi
    Jun. 11, 2010 – 5:54pm
    Do you really believe in this online match stuff?…

    Me:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 10:05am
    Nope.

    To be fair, I hadn’t even looked at his profile yet, but seriously… You read my profile and were compelled to write to me and THAT is the best you could come up with??

    Him:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 10:43am
    Good so hows “lyFe”?

    OmG — i CaN’t EvEn BeLiEvE ThIs ShIt!!!!!!!

    Me, irritable:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 12:17pm
    lyFe? What the fuck is that, dude?

    Him:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 12:33pm
    A humorous way of writing life. What did you think it was? I assume you never did the AIM thing 10 years ago…

    Oh Jeez… Who knew? This is HUMOR? God, all this time I have been so lost.

    Me:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 6:03pm
    No, I didn’t even talk like that when it was socially acceptable for my demographic.

    I’ve only been back on OkStupid for a week and I’m already getting emails like this… Seriously, THIS is why I quit the last time. And the last time. Aaaaand the last time.

    Him:

    Haha. Your hilarious. I only respond like that sometimes to the people that might give off that vibe. But the funny part is when they assume you have no education. So what is your name?

    Interesting, because your blatant apostrophe avoidance and disrespect for the difference between you’re/your makes me think you have no education. And, ex-squeeze-me? Are you saying you were dumbing yourself down to talk to me? Ahhh, whut?

    Me:

    Jun. 12, 2010 – 6:19pm
    What about me led you to believe that you should respond to me like I’m an uneducated, socially retarded preteen?

    Woops. Guess I got mean.
