When I used one of the canned responses yesterday:
[username],
Thanks for writing to me! You sound like a nice person but I'm looking for someone who lives closer.
With regard,
kalikshama
he wrote back to argue that he was not, in fact, too far [8|]
Like we've been saying, it's easier to just ignore.
Exactly. I have been known to get perfectly reasonable emails. I ignore those, too. Saying no, thank you leads to the WHY NOT. Do I owe that person an explanation of WHY I didn't care to carry on a correspondence? I really don't. I don't have to come up with a graceful way of saying, "I hated your picture, you look like a ponce". I don't have to explain that while I am actually happy to hop a plane to see someone I DO like, I wouldn't walk across the street for someone with a whiny entitled attitude. I don't want to get into a long discussion with that ever so mature for his age 30 year old that while he is hotness personified, I do not engage with those young enough to be my children. The list goes on.
McBride, please don't interpret my little rant as my having no kindness in my heart for those who are frustrated. I am a DOMINANT WOMAN, believe me I know about frustration. I did try to help people do better, and if folks are local, I link them up with what's happening, and who to ask for at the munch or party that will make introductions. I cannot and will not be their Cyrano.
On another thread, there's a nice young man who asked a similar question, stuck around for discussion, and followed some good advice. That's a sensible person. He didn't whine, he asked for suggestions. We are not unkind people here, by and large. We do not suffer fools and whiners. If you want to, hats off to you, go at it, report back on your success.
