flattery like this will get you no where

flattery like this will get you no where

Phoebe has been serving as my inbox assistant, filtering through emails I get from the online dating services. This morning I found her laughing, belly up and all four paws in the air.

me: what's so funny?
phoebe: this email
me: what email?
phoebe: do i have to read it to you?
me: get off my chair and let me see

Ciao Bella

I liked your photo and found your profile intriguing. Actually,
....I'm fairly dull and conversationally challenged, with a below average IQ
and absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It is so nice to
meet equally challenged individuals, because by the end of a conversation
no one can recall what was said, and usually concludes that only
intelligent topics were discussed. Every one then leaves happy!

If I pass the test, I hope to hear from you. That is if you don't
forget who wrote.

M.R.

ps: you look like helen hunt!

That guy really knows how to turn on the charm. While Helen Hunt is a fabulous actor at times, no woman wants to look like her.
So I left to get my morning coffee and when I had returned, Phoebe had written a few guidelines for men using these services. So without further delay check out Phoebe's "tips for men who like women | online dating etiquette."
