The following email should get you started but it is not from any of the above referenced user names. I wrote in my profile that I seek tasteful originality due to receiving WAY too many winks, which are very annoying, It showed me that the guy contacting me actually read my profile. This one was VERY bizarre...

Hi...how are you doing?
Well, something about me? O.K., the other night i went bowling for the first time in several years.
Some friends were going and asked me if i wanted to join them...how could I refuse?
Sorry, I didn't!
In one gregarious moment while dashing to the invisible-hurl-your-ball-line....I indiscriminately went a tad to far into the slippery lane!!
My hands and arms were flailing....my feet dancing, until I slid down into a full split looking like that of a ninth grade cheerleader!
And, I want you to know RIGHT NOW, I have never been a ninth grade cheerleader!!
Unless....you can omit the time when I did three years ...hard time in cing, cing...for something i didn't even commit!! Our government falsified documents and left me in the courtroom screaming...holding onto the defendant bench while Judge Judy slammed the mallet giving me three years. This was overturned on appeal, but not until I served six months in Cell Block C!
Then and only then...I was compelled...or rather FORCED..to be a ninth grade cheerleader! I had to wear my bandanna backwards, like Anga Mi-ma, with my tee shirt ripped halfway up my torso, revealing my gratuitous midriff while dancing the cha-cha for my band of brothers incarcerated!
So, if you can look over my one simple mendacity of being a ninth grade cheerleader in cing, cing...we should get along fine!!
How was that? Did I make you smile...or pissy pants?

The first thing I wish to mention pertaining to the above mentioned user names is simply that, I love people. I find something interesting about everyone so I never hesitated to meet anyone. Of course, I google them and run background checks on them prior to agreeing to meet anyone.

Pirate_1165 I discovered, I knew from when I was about 18, I'm 37 years old now. I spoke with this man, over the phone, for weeks prior to agreeing to meet. It was when I first joined match just over a year and a half ago. Upon meeting for the first time, he literally TRIED to rape me. And no, I didn't report it as I felt really ashamed with trusting the wrong person. So ladies, be forewarned about this one.

sdodblueeyes1. Gentlemen, many of you have complained about shallow women. I assure you, there are just as many shallow men out there. This particular member chased me for 3 months before I would agree to meet him for lunch then spent the ENTIRE grueling 2 hours talking about how he went from 22 properties to only 15, he went into GREAT detail as to what his homes looked like and what he possessed and what he wanted to possess which included "arm candy" and his former girlfriend. I tried several times to change the subject, unfortunately, it didn't work and he continued to try to convince me how great he was. To finish off this torturous lunch, he made me go shoe shop for him, the ENTIRE time watching ANYTHING in a skirt. I couldn't wait to get out of there and was texting a friend under the table screaming HELP!

dubliner9. This is the player, not an attractive one either. I, initially, wrote him to compliment him on his profile and further stated that we weren't a good match but I just had to drop an email to compliment him. Of course, he wasn't about to let that go. For the next 5 weeks or so, he pursued meeting me until I finally gave in and met him. That connection everyone hopes for was there, mentally and physically so strong. He proceeded to call me just about every night, sometimes twice a night, for the next 2 weeks when we had gone out again. He had pursued me vigorously, for 2 months before I gave it up to him and he was aware that it was 2 years prior since I had been with anyone. The phone calls came close to stopping after I did but he wouldn't completely let me go. I found out just this week that he had also been vigorously pursuing 2 to 3 other women on match while calling me, having phone sex with me. He was literally, emailing one woman, talking to me over the phone, while jerking off to another woman's match photo who wouldn't even give him the time of day. So much for the myth of the English Canadian gentlemen! Don't complain about drama when you are causing it yourselves by asking for EVERYTHING to be at your pace and in your time without regard to another person. This woman waits for no man! And yes ladies, I went the f#$!@ off on him for lying to, not only me, but for lying to those other women as well. I told him to grow up, he's 44 and never married, no kids, no home, and not even a legal citizen, and that he shouldn't have been stringing me along for months as there were sincere gentlemen I turned down for the player. This one is a control freak and has done this to other women, not just me! BTW...guys if you want to be a player make sure the flagpole doesn't blow in the wind!

The moral of this VERY long explicit tale is...Despite all of the negativity I have read on this site from men and women alike, how is it that someone like me who has experienced all facets of negativity, on this often ridiculous site, not give up but so many others have? You have to see the whole picture. It's not match itself as a business which makes the mistakes you mention but the players, pretentious people, and those with hidden aggression issue's which cause the problems. Unfortunately, in today's society, those people exist everywhere you look but once in a great while, you become privy to the old cliche, "what goes around, comes around" and it's a wonderful feeling and sight to see.
