'your pictures are hot...wanna...'

I've had this guy Stefan on my msn for ages, can't remember where I originally 'met' him from maybe person.com anyway started talking again recently and he seemed really nice and I was wondering why we never met and went on a date. We were texting and he said that if I had some free time on the weekend we should do something and then was like could you send me a pic it's been so long i've almost forgot what you look like - NOT a smooth thing to write but hey i guess it had been a while so i sucked it up and sent him a few photos he kept texting that he hadn't got them and I told him i'd sent them.Didn't hear anything more and forgot about it.

Got a text from him and you know with some phones (ive got a sony ericsson xperia x10) only the first part of the text comes up and you have to click in to read it, so it started out 'your pictures are hot..wanna...' and i was like oh how nice he must want to go out somewhere tonight. Clicked into it and read the whole thing 'your pictures are hot...wanna give me a blow job?'

What a f-ing pig. Needless to say I didn't reply, blocked him on msn and I'm about to delete his number and write his name and number in the back of my diary - nothing drives me crazier than getting a call or text and not knowing who it's from, this way if a number comes up i just go to the diary see who it is and most probably, especially in Stefan's case ignore it.

In nicer news I met up with Benn and his son Laiken today. Benn and I went to primary and high school together, I had a big old crush on him in year 10, we became facebook friends and chat all the time and flirt a bit and Benn suggested meeting up as we hadn't seen each other in about 10 yrs. It was good to see him he really hasnt changed much and his kid Laiken was cute (for a kid). I think i'd almost rather just be friends with him as I don't have many guy friends. But I know i'm hopeless and if he shows interest I won't discourage him. My bet is we just stay chatting on facebook...

moral of the story - there's probably a reason why you didn't go on a date with that guy that's been on your msn list for ages and it's probably that he's a douche bag.

'Gonna give this online thing a shot and see what happens'

'Gonna give this online thing a shot and see what happens' a quote from a guy... lets call him Dean - because that's his name...

Going through guys profile and I see Dean's photo... he looks a bit different has grown a 2 day stubble manicured beard thing which is a good look for him as it kind of disguises his double chin/fat around his neck - not being bitchy he's just a big guy. Dean and I dated in 2009. What made me have a little giggle was that coming across his new profile in 2011 and him saying he's going to give this online thing a shot making out like he's just made a profile and is going to see what happens. Kind of an extension of the 'i lost a bet or a mate made me this profile' excuses. His profile should read i've had an online dating profile for 2 yrs and know exactly what im doing.

In 2009 I tried to be a less superficial person, I decided that I would say yes to guys that I wasn't totally attracted to and go more on personality. We would all be old and saggy one day anyway so looks didn't really matter right? So I agreed to a date with Dean, he came and picked me up in his car, I think he must have called my phone and said he was waiting out front (what a gentleman haha) when i got in the car i had to put on the poker face - he was sitting in the drivers seat in gray jeans and his thighs were huge! I'd only seen a head and shoulders shot of him (learned my lesson to ask the guy for more photos) so it was really shocking. Now i'm not one to judge as im a size 18 but he was really really big and I wasn't expecting it.

Anyway Dean and I went on the date got along with him well and started to date. Thought maybe once you get to know someone they become more attractive. They don't. I ended up being a bitch to him because I knew I could cos I didn't see him as an equal and thank god he broke it off after one particular argument. Not my finest hour I know.

Moral of the story - date someone you are physically attracted to cos otherwise you might end up treating them really badly!

Shortcuts

• Hat on in all his photos = receeding or balding 
• Not smiling/smiling without showing teeth in a number of photos = bad teeth 
• Photo looks kind of old like it's from the 90s = it is, he is now about 10 yrs older and has put on lots of weight 
• Professional photoshoot photo = it's not actually him or he looks a lot worse without make up on or he's a total wanker and loves himself 
• Body Type listed as 'a little extra weight' = he's massive. Guys in general have a very high opinion of themselves if you compared a girl that listed herself as having 'a little extra weight' and a guy listed as the same the girl would be much much smaller, because we are used to putting ourselves down and selling ourselves short  
• His profile says he can't upload pics but is happy to show you some when you add him:he's a liar, he made himself a profile, he knows how to upload a photo. Remember when you made your profile and it prompted you to add a photo, he got the same thing and didn't put a photo up! He is ugly or is plain and has no confidence, yet he's sent you a request because he thinks you're hot.  
• He looks really hot in one of his photos but not in the others: judge him on his worse photo because that's more likely to be what he looks like in real life.  
• He only has one photo: this is heaps better than none i admit but... make sure you see a few other photos of him before getting too into him or meeting him. 
• He has photos, it's just that they are on his phone: liar. Just an excuse to get your number and probably send you naked photos of a guy from neck down which probably isn't him anyway 
• His only photo is him in a suit: he might look good but you have no idea of his fashion sense. While this is superficial and may not matter it's just something to consider 
• He's not looking at the camera in his photos: another sign that the photo might be a paparazzi shot of some lesser known celebrity. What normal people have photographers taking photos of them without looking at the camera? 
• He sends you a request 'i just want to be friends with you': no he doesn't he just thinks you wouldn't add him as you're too hot for him and figures you might add him as a friend and then he can try the moves. 
• He hasn't written anything about himself... but he's hot: he wants casual sex 
• He describes himself as attractive: he is a wanker with no social skills.We can see from the photo whether he's hot or not. 
• He's holding a puppy or kitten in his photo: he's a wanker.
• His profile says that he lost a bet or his mates made him a profile: that didn't happen. He's embarrassed about being on an online dating site and is making an excuse.
