Will the pathetic emails never end?

Scarlett swears that she's going to post when she returns from New Mexico. I personally am convinced that she's going to come back married, and won't have any such time for trivial pursuits such as messing with guy's heads via Craigslist as she will be busy tending hearth and home.

And I would have posted more - however, cheesy as it may seem, life got in the way. Hard to spend time messing with unknown guys online when there are guys in real life you're trying to figure out. But! Since all looks quiet on the western front (I promise, I will stop with these stupid not-even-puns), here are some more.

Bad responses:

Aloha,

How are you today? I hope all is well with you. To start, im pretty easy to get along with and would love to hear anything you have to say. I like art shows and going out and seeing new places. I open to new ideas and life. I am a burningman veteran and go every year; this will be my 8th straight year. I like to ride motorcycles and take a drive to see new things when i get a chance. Great conversations/ debates with my friends and family are always welcome. I never bore and i like ice cream!

sincerely, Me =)

If you like instant message me, let's chat!

Automatic points off for ending with a smiley. And Burning Man. BURNING MAN! Do you KNOW what Burning Man is? For those of you unfamiliar with it, it's when people go into the vast deserts of Nevada and set up a temporary community there for a certain span of time - JUST FOR FUN. I'm sorry. Obviously you didn't read my personals ad, which would have certainly dissuaded you from mentioning Burning Man, much less the fact that you'd done it for 8 years. And how is you liking ice cream going to somehow be the "cincher" for a return email? Bleh.

HELLO... MY NAME IS G--... CONTACT ME

This was accompanied by a stellar picture of the guy shirtless, with an enormous tattoo covering his chest. Just... no.

my name is J--,

I am a "normal" guy. I would say I'm labeled as a "F-U-N" guy. If you
asked any of the people I know they would all say the same thing. I
can be
sarcastic, silly, mature, immature, intelligent, confident, clumsy (at
times), light hearted, I can take it and dish it out,
etc...etc...etc....

Belong to an Armenian Fraternity (we do things for the Armenian
Community)
I understand Italian & Armenian better than I can speak it
I have a Bachelors degree in business, marketing from CSUF

I dunno. I don't see how any of this is a draw. That you understand languages better than you speak them I understand, but don't use it as a selling point. And I don't know what your definition of "normal" is, and what "F-U-N" is. It sort of scares me, to be honest. You need to be a little more engaging, and this quasi-resume just isn't doing it.

And, for a change of pace. One that acutally made me laugh. It was cute and witty. If only he wasn't short and skinny. That's such an automatic deal-breaker.

Hey,

My favorite food: rack of lamb and tiramisu for dessert (but spaghetti's easier to make and it's hard for guys to screw that up and thank god for ice cream!)

My favorite wine: cabernet sauvignon by Barefoot from Trader Joe's (water's just as good though)

My favorite beach: either Corona Del Mar or the one at The Ritz Carlton in Dana Point (or just splashing in the bathtub where you don't have to worry about how you're going to look in a swimsuit!)

My idea of a good time: all of the above with a good company who knows that while I may not be able to afford stuff like that all the time, my company is all she really wants (wow, that last part sounded so much better in my head)

Me: 30, asian, 5'7, about 140lbs and musician (damn, hope you don't mind musicians because I can't stand them!)

Bye! Or, aurevoir!

See, there is hope out there!

I promise, more substantial stuff later. It's late, I am sapped of creativity, and.. and... yeah, I have no more pathetic excuses. There is good stuff waiting in my inbox to be posted. I just need to get to it.
