The View From My Knees

Whats up pretty? You seem really cool, I am a real person and I stand at 5’7 175 mixed handsome Asian/Hispanic/White and in good athletic shape, if you are interested then respond back and I will send more pics if you want. This message is short because craigslist wont let me send huge emails with pics attached on the first email!

While I do appreciate the desire to send a picture, it does not override the need to tell me about yourself. Of course, maybe this guy thought his body was his best quality, and chose to let it do the talking rather than his personality. If that’s the case, I suppose he went about it the right way. Unfortunately, that won’t impress me, or many other women who are searching for connections online. I won’t say looks aren’t important, but even the hottest guy needs to have two IQ points to rub together to get into my pants. I fucked an idiot once, and I still regret it to this day. Perhaps this guy could also have taken a moment to resize his photo to allow more text to come through.

So what was his text missing, exactly? Any kind of personal touch, for starters. His email is so generic it could have been (and probably was) sent to every girl who posted an ad that day. He could have added a couple of lines about what he liked about me and why he thought we’d get along. Things like that are as important as his height and shoe size. And while we’re on that, did you notice he only told me about his physical attributes? This is another indicator that this guy may be all brawn and no brains.
