This shocked me, seeing as how my ad, while witty, was highly specific and in some cases a bit snarky. I soon dropped everything else I had been doing and proceeded to sort my way through the weeds of scruffy men that I had requested.
I sifted through profiles that:
- detailed height, weight, build, as well as stereotypes to which I was turned off of (running, weightlifting, beer pong)
- apologized for their lack of scruffiness, but promised they made up for it in their knowledge of music and/or poetry
- confessed this was the first time they'd been to said dating site and apologized if they said too much/not enough (I got seven of these, no lie)
- seemed to be copy and pasted from several emails to several different profiles/ads. These amused me to no end because they had nothing to do with what I was asking for, until the last few lines said in "P.S." form. Come on guys...
The two I've set my sights on right now, I have decided not to talk about yet. I happen to believe that when you speak about something that you hope to happen, it won't. Call me crazy, but at least I'm not jumping to conclusions.

Oh craigslist... how I have missed thee. The ridiculous number of responses was such an ego boost.
Wow, that is a little creepy that he was already saying "When we're dating." Little too forward buddy!
Good luck with the 2 you have narrowed down!
hehehe roxy. I'm cracking up about craigslist. I met a prostitute one time who had recently been busted at the Mandalay Bay because she posted her ads on craigslist and they were doing a big sting operation.
Keep us updated and good luck!
One: Arguably the best Smiths song _ever_.
Two: I wouldn't know said Smiths song (or any others) if it weren't for my ex, who I met on match, and aside from being, apparently, NotTheOne, he was both the best boyfriend I've ever had and the one who lasted the longest.
Since when does "scruffy" mean "gay"? I must have missed that memo...
Pretty sure innernets dating is where all the rejects go.
Just face it, those bitches who were your rivals in college took all the good ones and hung on to them for dear life.
muhahaha :P
roxy: yeah, craigslist. how I love it.
tasha: thanks!
carmen: weird about the prostitute
red: I <3 the Smiths!!
lmnt: I'm not sure, but it's what he thought.
Johnny: gee, thanks. way to boost my self confidence.
what did your description say?
i want to know if i fit the bill...
It never fails to proove itself:
Guys that go to the internet looking for dates are single for a REASON.
Too ugly, too stupid, too creepy, too geeky, too egotistical, too boring... Too much something; they can't get a date in real life.
It shouldn't be that hard to meet and find dates the traditional, pre-internet way.
I suggest getting a concealed weapons license before your date with the other two... Just in case.
px: i believe you do...
Pele: You mean, that's why you participated in the Charity Auction?
I love how the girls are all gung-ho about this, but the boys make it seem like I'm digging in the .99 bin at WalMart. Seems to me like they've been done wrong by the Internets.
NotCharlotte:
EXACTLY! I'm damaged goods. Not totally sure where or how, but it's what I'm told by "them"...
Not being sure who "they" are, I can't get any further clarification... Nor can I verify this myself.
Ever have your shirt on inside-out or leave the tag or something on the back and never notice it until someone says something? I think creepy interweb dating guys are kinda like that.
omigod you particicipated in the no sex & the city charity blog thing?
hah-small-world.
Sometimes I want to try the dating sites, just to see what great hilarious things can happen!!! Fortunately, I have an equally amusing (yet not creepy) guy that has been courting me so at least I will be having some hilarious (and not creepy) stuff to post about sometime.
I know alot of people who have met and successfully carried on together, via the internet dating, so hope one of those last two are fun and exciting and more what you are looking for!
I'm trying to work out whether that's better or worse than being winked at from the other side of the Atlantic...
