Maharishi Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 "I think you look pretty and with a large slice of yum, like to get to know you."
smackie9 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Me no. I perfer someone who is creative, friendly and funny, not slimey. How does this message make you feel? Intrigues you or creeps you out? 4
jam.over.jelly Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 with a large slice of yum?!?! I'd tell him to kiss my behind. 2
TaraMaiden2 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 What "dafook" is 'yum' anyway? Unless someone is more able to articulate their interest, they've lost mine..... I don't go in for Juvie-speke....
Author Maharishi Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 How does this message make you feel? It makes me think, "Oh great, another annoying sleaze bag" 1
losangelena Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 It makes me think, "Oh great, another annoying sleaze bag" Ha! Then, umm, don't respond.
TaraMaiden2 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 It makes me think, "Oh great, another annoying sleaze bag" Well...it's obvious he finds you attractive... but being so overt and forward would make me think he's appraising the physical without considering the intellect.... and in it for the "culinary satisfaction".... 2
BlueBlood Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Yum? Lol that's terrible. (I'm sure you are pretty and with a slice of yum and all but what a cheesy line!) How old was this person? 1
sid3 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 It sounds as though he's decided he'd like to eat you, thus the yum. Sounds awfully creep to me. 1
Author Maharishi Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 His profile says he's 40. Maybe he is a cannibal Yum? Lol that's terrible. (I'm sure you are pretty and with a slice of yum and all but what a cheesy line!) How old was this person?
sid3 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe he is a cannibal Possible. I'm sticking with creepy though. 1
fitnessfan365 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 As a guy, I always feel slightly embarrassed for my gender reading crap like this. I'm all for setting a bit of a sexual undertone and being assertive. But that happens in person after you've established some type of normal rapport. A slimey opening email is not the way to start and if that crap actually did work, would you want to date a woman w/such low self esteem? 2
ManyDissapoint Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Oh please, women love being complimented on their appearance and to be found sexy. Seriously why is it a bad thing that someone made it apparent that they find you sexy and attractive? It may not have been the most clever message but it's hardly crass, assuming it's within a dating site context or similar. Also...we're all strangers on the internet. Hone your own natural compass for such things! 1
joseb Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I'm going to play devils advocate a bit here, and say that it's not such a terrible message. It's definitely better than "hey, how is you're day going" or "Sup?"! I would not write it myself, but if a girl messages me this, and if otherwise her profile/pics were ok, I wouldn't write her off at all.
bluefeather Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I'm so glad there are men out there who try this.
Buddhist Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 "I think you look pretty and with a large slice of yum, like to get to know you." Yes I would. Like this..... I think you might have food issues, please see a therapist. 1
Jj66 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Yes I would. Like this..... I think you might have food issues, please see a therapist. Love it. And then if he responds wittily you've got some banter going and who knows where it might lead? 1
Yummm Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Love it! I occasionally have some fun and write something like 'so i'm new to all this OLD... are we officially dating now?' and I've had some pretty great conversation starters from that! haha
TaraMaiden2 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Er....yumm.... did you write that to her, then....? 2
TaraMaiden2 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Actually, I agree that well-placed humour is very good at breaking the ice - as yumm so eloquently illustrates.... I just think you have to try to 'read' the situation, and maybe that initial comment from Mr Unknown Guy was perhaps a little pushy for a first attempt.... By all means try humour, but don't stray into the creepy and physical... that's inappropriate, really.... It's rather like yumm's comment... 'so i'm new to all this OLD... are we officially dating now?' Which is funny, against - 'so i'm new to all this OLD... are we officially on for some sex, now?' Which actually, isn't.... 1
MoreAmore Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Not if it was the only message I got and the guy who sent it looked like Sendhil Ramamurthy. It's creepy, shows no engagement with the profile, and focuses on looks. Would assume he was either desperate and didn't care about my intellect/personality, or only after sex. 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ugh no. I wouldn't even even bother clicking on his profile with that opener 2
Yummm Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Er....yumm.... did you write that to her, then....? Hahaha! No, unfortunately I didn't, I know that's ironic considering my username but ah well Yeah, I do see how it can sound creepy, I'm not the one to go send a first message about being intimate or physical either, it's just that with OLD to say the stereotypical 'hey, how's it going' doesn't get much response so I tend to find some funny ice breakers. Many actually like that one! 1
TaraMaiden2 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Not if it was the only message I got and the guy who sent it looked like Sendhil Ramamurthy. Ooooh...hang on now, let's not be too hasty here.....
