u too cute to be stuck up

Social websites are so amusing. I use them mainly to communicate with friends in Iraq and old friends that I don't talk to on a regular basis. And when I say regular basis I mean months and Sundays. My networks of choice: MySpace and Facebook. So one day in a random act of boredom, I decided to try out BlackPlanet. I enjoy meeting new people just as much as the next person but I should have known better. As I stated earlier, I have pages on these sites as a means of keeping in touch. I'm not denouncing finding love over the net but that's not my purpose and I stated that on BP:
"Thanks or viewing my page. I'm here just because...I'm not looking for a man, "friend", or anything of the like so please don't send your phone number or offer a plane ticket, not interested....." Blah, blah, blah. Hit submit and viola!
I don't feel I should have to state to a grown man not to approach me with "hey baby", "what's up boo", "damn sexy", or any of that other foolishness. I've learned that it's a waste of time when you do anyway. A gentleman, an intelligent man knows how to respect a lady and knows how to peek her interest with just the right words. All that other foolery is reminiscent of the man in the club with the body shirt and the gold tooth that insist on a dance or buying you a drink. Not a good look. To me "boo" is a term of endearment and only my man could turn me on with that one.

Subject: HI BABY
I HAVE SEEN YOU A FEW TIMES OUT AND ABOUT BUT WE'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER. I ALWAYS WANTED TO GET TO KNOW YOU BUT THE TIMING WAS ALWAYS OFF. BUT NOW IS MY CHANCE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK YOU ARE SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL TO ME AND I HOPE TO HAVE A LONG FRIENDSHIP WITH YOU AND HOPEFULLY MORE. MY NAME IS KELDRICK AND I HAVE READ YOUR PROFILE AND FOR THE RECORD I AM (FAR) FROM BEING DESPERATE BUT I DEFINETLY WANNA HEAR YOUR VOICE. HIT ME UP AT 334-318-**** . FOR SO LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR MY QUEEN AND I WISH THAT IT WILL BE YOU.

Eyes rolling b/c Keldrick missed the memo

1. As a professional I can't STAND for people to type in all caps....uuuhhh
2. If you've seen me a few times & so desperately long for my companionship how about we say hello, eh?!
3. Didn't I say I wasn't here for romance???

Five days later, after continuous emails my response:
I'm rarely on this site and when I am it's for a second or two. Unfortunately if you are looking for something outside of BP, I'm not interested...sorry.

Subject: hello
i have been trying to get in touch with you for the last 3 days because i really wanted to get to know you, if i am wasting my time and yours please let me know! hit me up babygirl !

Did this dude not realize this 2 or 3 days prior?! I try so hard to be nice but when you don't take use of the fundamentals of reading how can I? Telling me how beautiful, sexy, or gorgeous I am is not gonna get you a Fed Ex response. I know my beauty whether it's acknowledged by you or not!
Then we have example #2. Someone over at BP decided to add the IM feature to their network. So belizean_heartthrob thought he'd drop me an IM(or 3):

This IM was sent while you were away:
* hello
* come on now u say u is fearless now dont be scardddd
* say somthing u too cute to be stuck up
"U is..." Really? This is the kind of madness that I must deal with in today's society? The gentlemen of the world must act with a sense of urgency. Don't let your fellow brother continue on with this! I'm starting to believe that chivalry is so, so dead. Oooohhh, an email just came across. Subject: What's up sexy
*sigh*
