So I finally get a worthwhile message on my "personals" (I put that in quotes for the retardation that is collarme), and it's from a professor who clearly has a brilliant mind, well-rounded in his interests, and even reads philosophy for fuck sake (my undergrad degree was in philosophy). We have a brief but lovely discussion about economics and thinkers that shape who we are. I can't think of a better way to start an dialogue with someone. We seemed completely on the same page. Then I did something dumb: I got my hopes up.
And then it comes, the line I dread on these stupid fucking asshole sites: "Before we take this any further..." And you know nothing good is going to come after that opener. Sure as shit he's already involved. Well, why the fuck are you on this site then? And WHY don't you say this on your profile? But these are just rhetorical questions because I can venture a guess.
Either this guy is a) a wanker (see definition on post about types of guys that frequent BDSM personals sites) looking for fodder to pull his pud to, b) on the lookout for someone "better" than his current gf/wife, and/or in my case c) he's looking for intellectual stimulation because at home he finds none. And as I said to him, if the latter is true then heaven help him. Upon reflection, I'm guessing the correct A & C are the correct answers.
Congratulations, asshole. You managed to become a time waster. I should have known something wasn't right when your location was all screwy. Fuck everything about you. You don't deserve my time. You don't deserve my company. If you were looking for friends you should have said so in your first email. It's up to ME to decide if I want to pursue that. You have no right to spring that on me after the fact.
I'm seething with fury as this exact moment. I could totally channel Tisiphone right now. Google it.
