    Way back they had these free dating classifieds in a local city paper. So I wrote mine in a bit self debasing manner and he wrote his like he was trying to bs his way into a job. Later I got calls and he did not and he was like. wtf. you get calls with your ad saying your fat and lazy. Just for the record I did not say that (he was colorfully paraphrasing) but I did say that I don’t excersise while talking about likeing to be active and how I like more relaxed things. Anway I explained it to him in some way why this was so but to colorfully paraphrase its because mine seemed genuine (and indeed it was) while his seemed like bullshit (and indeed it was). I actually do that somewhat with cover letters for jobs. Are there girls and or jobs that will not respond. Sure. But those are likely ones I don’t want anyway. They likely suck. and not in a good way.
