MySpace Dating: The Good, The Bad and The WTF?!

EMAIL HALL OF SHAME

12/28/2007

Since joining Myspace at the end of May of 07 I have received over 3,000 messages, mostly from strangers. These are some of the "worst of the worst"… as maybe the "best" of the "unbelievable"!.

The main question I have is… why can't anyone spell???? (Or write a coherent sentence? One that starts with a capital letter and ends with any of the following: ?! . It's super easy to write an email out on a word document page and then cut and past it into the myspace message or comment box. Writing so you can be understood shows you respect yourself AND the person you're writing to. )

All of these are "as received". I didn't add anything to them or edit them. I only starred out names and phone numbers to protect the people who ended up here. Incidentally, I also didn't add any of these people as friends!

So….. Here we go~

~~

I'm saying it would a groovy picture to see the one behind the camera. but, first I would like to laet you i am in norfolk. It would be great if we could correspond then hopefully talk over the phone. Then maybe, an enchanted moment where I would we can find ourselves allured to happiness. I have to say I always like being happy. Because I am P***. Well, I feel like I should leave the rest of the time for when you respond. ttyl....



Emails like these…keep my MySpace experience interesting! But Seriously! Some people should not be allowed to own a computer!
