Best Personal Ad Ever: Responses
Below are the responses. My return emails are in italics. My comments are in (parenthesis) and bold.
Response 1: My Grand Theft Auto Love Affair
I read your ad on cl. I thought it was definitely amusing haha. I don't own a sword, but I shoot often...does that count? Anyway, I wasn't sure if you're even looking for a friend or a girl or what you wanted, but you're quite interesting haha. You sound well read also, which is hard to find these days. Well, if you care to know more about me just reply....I've been told I'm interesting. Good luck catching that pirate girl.
You shoot often? What exactly does that mean? Haha. How are you
interesting? Just curious...
(Notice my clever usage of "Haha")
I shoot guns, just hand guns, at a shooting range.
Theyre a lot more efficient than swords :) Anyway, I
think most guys just mistake being beautiful for being
interesting too. Well, to start I guess, im
intelligent both conventionally and unconventionally.
But I also know how to be quirky and im usually easily
amused, which seems to be infectious. I love cars,
mostly exotics and luxury cars, and fortunately Ive
learned enough about them to carry on a conversation.
I also like motorcycles, mostly just sport bikes
though. I have a Ninja 500r, im still learning , but
the thing is so awesome and fast and dangerous, its
incredible. I work with kids and for some reason they
love me. Theyre quite amusing and I always come home
feeling like I made a difference, which is nice. As a
matter of fact Im at work right now, on my phone, so I
shpould get back to torturing the children. :) what
about you...you have to have something interesting
about you.
(This girl could totally kick my ass. After no response, she followed up with...)
haha too much for you? or not enough?
(Not enough? Perhaps she should upgrade to the AK-47 assault rifle? Perhaps a rail gun?)
Sorry, busy with stuff. I'm starting a new job and getting a new apartment, etc.
I'd have to say too much probably.
(And finally...)
haha, I've never gotten that before. Just out of curiosity...what's too much?
(Probably the shooting. Yeah, definitely the guns.)
Response 2: I Clearly Need Help.
seek help!
Just for my amusement, and probably yours as well, what kind of person
do you think I am? What sort of help do I need?
If you dont respond you won't have another email from me. Don't worry
about the spam.
I think therapy will do you some good.
Why? Because I was bored and made up a story for my amusement?
Something that took 30 minutes total? I'm curious about why I need
therapy. I did it all as a joke. Most people around me found it funny.
I'm not angry. I have no idea who you are and it all doesn't matter.
I'm just really curious. You say I need help and that I should take
therapy.
Why?
(Come on lady, give me something here!)
when you say most people around you find it funny, is it mostly your
guys friend? I think most girls will find it to be stupid! I'm just
trying to help you! if you want a girl drop those amusements of your, bc
it's not working.
Actually, I haven't shown it to any of my guy friends. I did show it
to two or three female friends, one of which I'm dating. They all
thought it was hilarious. Granted, two of those girls are editors at
the magazine at which I used to write. So maybe they are partial.
I've done serious ads before and nobody responds. I mostly see CL as a
form of entertainment, and I figure hell, why not do something
different?
What would you suggest? What appeals to you? What makes your advice so valid?
Again, I don't see this as an argument, merely an interesting
conversation at 2 am.
I will give sugestion and everything you need to know in the afternoon.
right now, I going to get some sleep. maybe you need to get some sleep
or take a cold shower to cool yourself off.
Ha, I went to sleep before you even suggested it. And I'm VERY amused
that you think I need a cold shower, as if I'm some horny
freak.Thanks. You are one of the most assuming and pretentious women
I've encountered, and that amuses me.
I suggested you go take a shower bc it sound like you were mad about
what I said. and how do I know if you went to sleep before me. you don't
have any evidents.
(A poor misspelling! Now I'm reallying going to be a dick.)
Do you mean evidence? Also, I wasn't mad and I said that in every
email. I was quite amused because you never say anything or explain
your thoughts. You just say "you need help!" and run off. I'd like to
hear your point of view so that I may understand where you are coming
from. It's cheaper than the therapy you recommended.
j/k! I was bored last night! have a nice life!
Ha, ok. Have a nice life too.
thanks!
(How nice!)
