- Dear male alt.personals readers:
-
- About one week ago I posted a response to Hassan's comments
- about all pretty girls being in artsy stuff, etc.. All I did
- was reply to his post because I felt offended by it. I did
- not, and I would like to repeat this, I DID NOT post a personal
- ad looking for e-mail pen pals or for a date. Now for all of
- you who sent me e-mail of that kind, think about it for a
- moment please: if I had wanted that kind of response I would
- have posted a personal.
- I appreciated the positive feedback and the encouragement,
- that really was very nice. But I have to admit that I was
- quite upset by the "oh, you're female, you must want a new
- pen pal" attitude.
- Please, guys, think before send mail like that. It very much
- contributes to my view that many of the men out there are so
- immature that they cannot distinguish a comment from an ad,
- and I definitely won't spend my time replying to any of them.
- I feel very sorry that you have to go to so desperate means,
- that you need to send mail to every female poster there is,
- but you're not only wasting your time but mine also.
-
- As always, comments welcome, but please no sob stories about
- how much you need some female to write to.
-
