Rule
Changes for Single Guys as of February 2008
Last night
I was expecting a fellow from up north coming down for a meeting
at a hotel. After e-mailing back and forth, sending photos,
talking to him on the phone, e-mailing again, I had a very
good feeling, which I haven't had with any guys from out of
town in a long time, who had approached me and asked for dates.
I mailed him a list of local hotels and the guy mailed back,
telling me he had made arrangements for a specific hotel. I
even attached a street map to my last e-mail, showing how to
get from the airport to the hotel. I was really looking forward
to it, quit the work I had to do, made arrangements, got all
dolled-up, and was ready.
You're already
guessing it, right? The guy didn't show up. No e-mail, no telephone
call, nothing. I mean, he just didn't show up. His cell was on
voicemail, of course. E-mail? No reply as of yet. I used to be
pretty good on the phone, sorting BS artists out immediately,
but for some reason I keep failing in these days. This shit keeps
happening and is getting to me. I have no clue what makes people
do that? Fear? Problems? Or the simple fact that they are assholes?
I am one of
the very few women who still do meet single guys and do not charge,
and trust me, I get quite a few e-mails from people who are willing
to pay. Most other girls with webpages don't even bother with
single guys, and do parties for" contributions". Those
who put up with single guys make sure they get something out
of it, financially. Other girls meet blacks only, or have strict
size requirements (8.5"+). I, so far, have put up with almost
all single guys, disregarding looks, accepting photos that were
10 years old, showing someone that was 75 lbs. lighter. I've
met guys who claimed to be hung studs but turned out to be needle-dicks
after, and I always tried to be nice about it and not insult
the guy. I've seen it all in the past 10 years, from liars and
no-showsover 65 years old claiming to be 40, to photoshoped photos,
and always tried to be nice, and trie not to insult the guy.
I've had guys whose car quit, whose dog died, and whose grandma
passed right before a date with me, but at least they called
and cancelled. Others, like the guy last night, didn't call.
Things are
going to change. It is kind of bad news for all the decent, single
guys out there, but one thing I will not put up with any more
is that people steal my time, e-mail me for weeks, and talk me
to death on the phone, and then simply don't show up. From now
on I will be getting my single guys at bars. I am pretty good
when it comes to picking up guys, I barely leave the house without
picking someone up, so it's not going to be a problem for me.
I am not saying I won't be meeting single guys over the internet
at all, but if you are a single guy you have to be creative to
get me to committing to meet you, means, you have to convince
me that you are not going to make an ass out of me, by letting
me stand outside a hotel in the rain because you were to much
of a coward to cancel.
I still won't
charge money for a meeting, but unless I already know you, or
someone I know knows you, I want something to secure my losses
in case you decide in the last minute to be an asshole. I want
to see
- scans of
airline tickets,
- hotel reservations,
-and ID as
e-mail attachments, or
whatever is suitable to convince me that you are not a bullshit
artist. Send me a
- $ 100 gift
card or pre-paid credit card in the mail.
If you show
up as promised I give the card back to you, if you don't show
up I keep it, and spend it. I don't care why you don't show up
(grandma passed, dog died, car quit), I will spend it. And yes,
I will verify that the card is charged before I commit to meeting
you, so con-artists, forget about scamming me.
I am sorry
that I have to resort to such drastic measures, but I am simply
not willing to put up with bullshit-artists and time-wasters
any more.
