If you ping me and it is evident that you’ve not read my profile (because you’re 24 or in Texas or ask me if I like sushi even though I’m listed as a strict vegetarian) I have every right to make fun of you to the blog-reading community.
I’ve emailed people even if I didn’t match some small criteria they had (looking for someone 5’2” or within 50 miles of xyz place) but I always acknowledge it in the email I send. Something like “I realize I don’t meet your height requirement, but I thought you seemed interesting and thought I’d let you know.”
However, I’ve never contacted anyone in another state, wants “NO KIDS” or “no cats…allergies.” I figure those are things that can’t be overcome, just like you being 52 is not something that can be overcome.
I hate thinking that you took a look at my picture and decided “Hey, I’d tap that” (which I take as a complement, but still) and then have the audacity to be upset when I say something like “sure, we can correspond, practicing the art of the written word, but I’m sorry, but you’re not quite who I’m looking for because….”
Just saying, it pays to read before you wink or email, show me you’re smart enough to look at the WHOLE profile before you initiate correspondence.
