Please
note: I have heard many people say "I was very attracted
to you but thought you already had tons of responses".
Remember just because you're attracted to me doesn't mean others
are. I think we tend to forget this when we see someone that we
find attractive.
For
those of you who think I believe I’m God’s gift to women
– you're wrong! I’m God’s gift to one special
woman somewhere out there . I believe that the satisfaction derived
from a relationship is directly proportional to how redeeming you
find your mates qualities to be. I also believe that there are no
good or bad qualities within people, only ones that are more or
less appropriate for them in their eyes. I am going to require that
you send me a picture. I had literally hundreds of responses last
time and couldn't find the time to meet and call all of them. This
time I'm doing it differently. Yes personality is very important
but so is physical attraction. I'm non-judgmental enough to realize
that not everyone takes a great picture. It's only fair since you
have seen my picture that I see yours too. Any Kinko's can copy
a picture for you in one minute. Forget about taking a picture.
If you think I may be a very picky closet ax murderer then I guess
you will never know if it could have worked out. Remember that I’m
NOT doing this to meet a lot of people or because I have a problem
getting dates or even because I like casual dating. I don’t!
I can assure you that there are things I need to work on about myself
as we all do. With that said I believe that you will be hard pressed
to find anyone more determined to make a change about themselves
when they set their mind to it.
So
what are you feeling right now? If you're like many people they
say that there are feeling very strange responding without ever
having talked to me. You might be wanting me to ask me if I'm interested
and if I respond, then they will send a photo. I guess they are
wanting to know that there's a real person behind this. I can assure
you I'm going to say yes. Think of it from my perspective. Would
you spend a lot of time emailing dozens of different men that saw
you one night out with your friends and then sent you a blind e-mail?
That's what it is like for me! Demonstrate your empathy to me by
respecting that I want to see some physical semblance of who I am
writing back. If you really feel some connection with me and you
don't want to do that, then it's not that important to you.
So
what now? If you believe that if it feels right, respond! No matter
how many responses you think I already have, remember they're not
you! Don't make the common mistake and think that I'm receiving
tons of woman I'm attracted to... I'm not. I do receive a lot of
good luck wishes though... Sometimes I feel like people are perceiving
me like the very attractive girl at the bar that no one will approach
because they believe she has a boyfriend. If you don't send a letter
& a picture and you presume after coming this far then we both
lose and we never know how the story ends do we?
Oh
my! What should I say? Well just tell me the basics. What state
do you live in, age what you do for a living, musical taste, what
you like to do, hobbies, etc.. What really attracted you to me?
1)
Send me a letter (
or "Snail Mail") telling me about who you are and what
you like to do. (via
or reg. mail) If you really believe in what is going on here please
include a phone number or address. The reason for that is if I get
in a relationship and you change your e-mail address how am I supposed
to contact you? Also I want to tell everyone the outcome of all
of this and give them a preview of the book or whatever I do with
all of this. It has been crazy but the sad thing is going to respond
to someone only to find out that the account has expired. Maybe
someone will come up with forwarding addresses like the P.O. has..
2)
Send me a photo (via
or reg. mail) . PLEASE DON'T E-MAIL ME ASKING IF I'M INTERESTED
and to reply and if I want you to send a photo. If I wasn't I wouldn't
be doing all this.. Just send a photo.. You saw all mine :) I WILL
NOT CALL YOU IF YOU GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER AND I DON'T HAVE A PHOTO...
Sorry! I could spend a long time doing that and still not be attracted
to someone. If you're real good at sending pictures via e-mail (jpgs
200 dpi or better is great) then go for it. Also,PLEASE zoom in
on yourself when you scan it so can I see your face and not just
a bunch of digital squares! : ') If you're not sure about sending
them through e-mail, just mail them to the post office below. Kinko's
scan a photo or take one of you quick and cheap AND E-mail it for
you. Besides if you want to find someone it couldn't hurt to have
a digital picture to go along with your new fangled PC. To find
a Kinko's near you click here http://www.kinkos.com/locations/index.php
IF YOU CAN'T GET ME A PHOTO IN THIS DAY AND AGE THEN YOU MUST NOT
FEEL THAT STRONGLY ABOUT OUR COMPATIBILITY and therefore you saved
us both some time.
3)
If you want to hear my voice or put your voice to a picture, feel
free to call my voice mail below. Don't feel like I expect you to
do this, I know this is already like a job application. Besides,
I read e-mail MUCH than I ever listen to voice mail.
There
is something I want you to really think about before you send me
a picture. Does the picture you are sending represent who you really
are? There is nothing to gain by getting me to think you are someone
you are not. I have worked really hard to represent myself as how
I would look everyday in a relationship. I hope you realize this
is something that is good for BOTH OF US. No one wins if one person
is mislead. NOTE: If you just leave a voice mail or email (no picture)
when AND IF I get time I will call you and ask you to send one.
Remember
you have nothing to lose and someone to gain..
It
doesn't matter how we meet only that we do...
