FitChick Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Got this message on the dating website: "A very interesting narrative. I like your pictures. I deduce that a purity of mind and body permeates." Er, does he expect me to be a virgin? 1
sid3 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Got this message on the dating website: "A very interesting narrative. I like your pictures. I deduce that a purity of mind and body permeates." Er, does he expect me to be a virgin? Not a chance sister, unless he's completely clueless And just fell off the turnip truck. What he's trying to say is that he doesn't believe you to be a whore. He just said it in a kinda queer way. 7
Fondue Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 He's trying to charm you with his sophisticated words. From which I deduce... He can only write/text, and will be a pretty boring individual in person. He probably has to spend time creating his sentences and wouldn't be near as charming when he's put on the spot. He'd probably keep you at text level for a good two weeks, then FINALLY (and awkwardly) accept a coffee meetup. You'll go. You'll be excited. You meet up, he's nice looking. You start talking and... dull. Maybe he's hopign you'd shag him anyway. EDIT: He probably copy/paste that, too. 5

Mrin Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Cut and paste job, or English is not his primary language, or he has Aspergers (overly formal speech is a trait), or he is extremely socially awkward I vote for the first two. 5
smackie9 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I think he uses that when he role plays at the Renaissance fair. I'm surprised he didn't start with "my fair maiden...." 5
writergal Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Lol Smackie9! I was thinking the same thing. He must be the type of man who loves to LARP!! 1

Fitchick you should respond to his Renaissance faire-speak in kind: "Good sir, I find you to be beef-witted, boil-brained and above all fen-sucked. Taketh that sword and stab yourself you onion-eyed gudgeon." Or something like "Thanks for the lesson in Medieval English. Who's your favorite character in Hamlet?" 7
Poppyolive Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Bahaha. The joys of online dating. Here's a funny one.. I really dislike receiving "hey" or "hi babes" or something like that. So once I got a message, saying "I'm here making a smoothie, while sending you a message, I've dropped avacado all over me and some how its your fault" which I found cute, different and funny. A month later I shut down that profile and opened another on Tinder... Would you believe the sane plonker sent the same message!!!! Obviously that his go to ice breaker! Tosser! 10
GravityMan Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Unless this is his idea of some weird joke, I think he's trying too hard and is socially awkward. He also seems inexperienced. He can only write/text, and will be a pretty boring individual in person. He probably has to spend time creating his sentences and wouldn't be near as charming when he's put on the spot. EDIT: He probably copy/paste that, too. Exactly. Especially the "boring" part. Unless he learns how to be spontaneous and think on his feet (however, I think those things are only partly teachable), he may have a hard time dating in the sense of women remaining interested in him. People who are socially "slow" or overly thoughtful/analytical tend to be rather mundane or even a bit frustrating to be around, even those who are highly intelligent. His best bet may be to find a woman who's very patient.
guest569 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Cut and paste job, or English is not his primary language, or he has Aspergers (overly formal speech is a trait), or he is extremely socially awkward I vote for the first two. I don't think Aspergers makes someone a pompous twat haha. Sorry, it's nice to make the most of ones vocabulary but come on, cut the crap, plain simple English will woo me. Bahaha.

He must just make a lot of smoothies and be a bit of a clutz. 'Just call me avocado fingers'.. 1
Art_Critic Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 he thinks you're Hawt and he wants you for your mind ... he was trying to tell you that you have a banging body but that isn't all he saw.. a bit corny.... 1
Author FitChick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Posted August 26, 2014 My message in response was: "Really? Please elaborate." He is a divorced vegetarian who likes to run (pics of him in races), lists his profession as "science/engineering/research." Not bad looking in that scrawny runner's way. Looks a bit like actor Steve Coogan if Coogan had short, silver hair. He's not pompous. He's British!

Looks a bit like actor Steve Coogan if Coogan had short, silver hair. He's not pompous. He's British! Ah, well, yes...that appears to be coming from someone with those characteristics - traits.... But I'd need to see your profile to see what he's seeing (no, please don't post your personal stuff here...I'm just explaining that w/o seeing your profile, it's hard to say what he means)... But, just from your name here, "FitChick", I gather you are into nutrition and fitness...so, his commentary doesn't seem so off-the-wall if you ask me.
deathandtaxes Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Is that the full extent of his message? that's such a load of bs. He doesn't say what is interesting about your narrative? He doesn't say what is good about your pictures? Such laziness. 1

ktya Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Got this message on the dating website: "A very interesting narrative. I like your pictures. I deduce that a purity of mind and body permeates." Er, does he expect me to be a virgin? Lol. This is so bland and vague that this is this guys OLD game has got to be copying and pasting this to every chick he messages. It says absolutely nothing about your profile; makes no mention of anything at all. He "likes your pictures" but makes no mention of your hair or clothing. The whole "purity of mind and body" schtick is just so he can be lamely vague yet make you feel like he isnt trying to bang you right out of the gate. Player radar girl, get some. If you dont beleive me put up a fake profile and watch that profile get trolled with the exact same message or a close variant of it by the same guy. 1
ktya Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 The guy may as well have written: "All your profile and pics are belong to us" haha not everyone might get the reference (ie. all your base are belong to us) 1
mightycpa Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 The guy may as well have written: "All your profile and pics are belong to us" haha not everyone might get the reference (ie. all your base are belong to us) it's not funny if you have to explain it.
mightycpa Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I think to properly judge, we need to see the original narrative of the OP. Maybe it is filled with similar $3 words. 2
OwMyEyeball Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I've sent messages in OLD that if taken out of context would get a similar drubbing by the peanut gallery. OLD messaging is best taken lightly and with the most minimal of analysis; much in the same way anyone would follow an actual conversation. All that being said, I'm curious how Shakespeare plans on elaborating. Seems that the message had some of its intended effect - it got her attention (and ours to boot) 1
smackie9 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 If I got a message like that I would think "Oh brother..." **rolleyes** 2
writergal Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 ^^My Old English Translation: "Oh wherefore art thou delete button praytell?" 3
