OK I’ll confess to having signed up to match.com. I recently received emails from a ‘member’ that were particularly strange, as in lacking in content. They were each single line non-directed comments, the second containing the non sequitur “I don’t like to party much” which had zero to do with my reply to email 1.
email 1
I really like your profile.Wanna Chat sometime.
email 2
I got your email.We can chat.I don’t like to party that much.
email 3
Thanks for writing to me, but unfortunately, we’re just not a good match. Good luck in your search!
Note I had used my nale inseveral of the emails I sent, but it was not used in any reply, secondly I sent nothing much other than chat to which I received no sort of reply. the typing (accurate above) does not look very human, 1st and second email have no space after the “.” whilst email 3 is propperly formatted with spaces after “,” and “.”.
This looks like a robot making the 1st 2 emails from a set of sentances (each missing the space afer the final “.” whilst the 3rd email is an automatic end of communication email with the sentances propperly formatted.
I do get messages from “users” who are obviously Russian or east-European mail-order bride services. I’ve never responded to them so I don’t know if they have automated response systems.
I’m not on match.com but I do get weird emails. About once a day I get an email at home and find that it’s completely blank. No sender, no receiver, no subject, and no content other than a couple of lines from my anti-virus scanner saying it passed.
Maybe illiteracy can be blamed for many cases. Yet email 3 is far more litterate than email 1 or 2, even “we’re” is correct as is the use of commas. It is possible that an illitterate user used someone elses message for the last message, but I doubt such a person would care to do such a thing. The users profile seemed genuine enough (not giving any indication of having been written as a lure) I am gueesing this is a genuine account that has been taken over for use with an email robot.
So I was rejected by a real person
… well at least the fact that I had read the first 2 emails as if spoken by R. Gumby of Monty Python Flying Circus, means I’m not too heartbroken.
I know there are prepared messages on Match.com. But I also know there are a lot of real people emailing out and about, because I got matched once with a girl I knew in high school. Imagine my surprise to find her elephant-like, shrewish face trying to smile back at me from the computer screen. <shudder>
