I LOVE THIS! Evidently the online dating scammers aren’t getting paid enough these days. Check this out.
(I wonder if he meant Kevin. Anyway…)
KELVIN: Hello… Pretty…like your smile… I’m Kelvin. And you are…
OK. Seems somewhat plausible. Right?
Except, here is my ONLY online dating profile pic.
I may be older, but I’m not THAT OLD!!! The artist Seignac, died in 1924!
I’ve been meaning to write a piece about my experience with a scammer but it’s kind of a drag to revisit that one. It’s quite a story.
In the event I never get around to it, I’m posting this clowns “profile” for those girls new to online dating.
NOTE: If it sounds to good to be true, it is too good to be true!
his self-summary… (BTW although he left it out, when they say they love to shop, that’s another tip off.)
Do you know any guy who would write a profile like this? Probably not. They are no doubt, written by women to attract women for men who are scammers.
KELVIN’S PROFILE…
I have been very lucky in my life to have been born into a loving and supportive family. I have also been fortunate in making friends with some exciting and intellectually stimulating people. I think that my friends and family would say they enjoy my company for my humor, generosity and compassion. In my free time, I enjoy most types of music, as well as theater, film, golf, and working out. I especially enjoy travel to places that I have not been to before, where I can participate in activities and dining experiences that I have not previously tried.
I am interested in a long-term relationship. My ideal mate has high self-esteem. She loves her life and values the experiences that she has had, and seeks an intelligent and enthusiastic companion to share life’s adventures. She also has a good sense of balance to her life. She works hard, but also leaves time for herself to work out and enjoy her own pursuits outside of the workplace. She’s honest, intelligent, energetic and has a good sense of humor.
NANODATING the blog... 
Yeah, that’s a profile I’d write about the kind of guy I want – not the kind of profile a guy would write! I liked Smithson’s approach – a half-naked picture goes a long way 😉
Sure! Works when you look like Smithson! Lol. How many actually do? ?
Probably not that many 😉 (Still drooling a little over that pic) 😉
I know!!!!
Glad I’m not the only one perving over it 😉
(heads off to look again) 😉
Have you read his book? Last time I checked there wasn’t an ebook download available.
It is now 😉 He’s constantly on at me to buy one haha! And I will – but I think I’ll buy the actual book – and write a review… 🙂 Hold on, I’ll find a link for you!
Great! Thanks. I had planned to buy it in hard copy, but I SO prefer reading on my phone. That way, if I put myself stuck waiting for something somewhere I can whip it out. Lol
That’s what he said 😉 (He’d so enjoy this conversation by the way!!)
Can’t imagine enjoying reading anything on my phone!
When I read from paper I fall asleep to easily. 😦
You’re saying you could sleep with Smithson in bed beside you? 😉
Not a chance!!! That would be a total waste! Lol
I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with you more – and I agree with you on most things 😉
Damn, I’ve got a Smithson horn now 😉
Lol. That’s a drag. Maybe he’ll pop round for a visit when you’re in Germany.
That’s the plan 😉
Have you heard from him lately?
Yeah, today 🙂
I owe him an email. Found a day job?
No, I don’t think so 😉
Can’t wait to read that post when Smithson pops up in Berlin. 😉
That might just be the post to end all posts! 🙂
You can’t end! 🙂 unless it’s too write your book. .. 🙂
Ha, it’s crossed my mind – 50 reasons not to move to LV 😉
That would fly! Make it your parting shot though. Otherwise, I’d be in there with your mom, worried about your well being.
Yeah, I’d have to be safely in my next country before that one hit!
I think so. But I would LOVE to read it! !!
Ha ha! I’ve got a prologue – and a chapter on women 😉 But I wrote those around 3 months ago then lost steam – might get back into it – need to do it before I leave as I don’t think I’ll even want to think about it after I go!
No kidding. Try to keep it at. The visuals alone could be fun. I see you sporting leopard print for the launch party. 🙂
That sounds like an opportunity for an assassination attempt 😉
Just make sure you have the launch party somewhere other than Latvia
😉
Since you are light years ahead of me in blogging, I’ve gotta question for you… My said “people can’t follow or like you if they don’t have a wordpress account.” Is that true?
I don’t think that’s true. People have followed me with just an email address. So I’m sure they can like as well. They might have more limited options in replying to comments though – like they can reply to my comment but not to other people in the thread. At least I think that’s right!
Do you have an email Sign up on all your posts? I get your stuff in my reader and just pop it open when I get it on my phone. I did learn that my phone doesn’t get updates as often as my pc. I’ve been told by a number of people that they read all my stuff but don’t follow me. 😦
Hmm, no, I don’t think I do 😉 To be honest, I’m a bit clueless when it comes to this stuff! I post it on FB and Twitter and then just let it do its stuff 🙂 I don’t remember setting it up if I do!
Well you’re stuff is a riot! I’m definitely a fan. I don’t have much of a presence on Facebook or Twitter. Not my cup of tea I guess. My son is still trying to teach me how to effectively use Twitter. 😉
Ugh, I hate it. By the time I’ve posted my one message 571 new messages have appeared. How anyone can keep up with it is beyond me 😉
Holy Crap!!!!
Yeah, it’s not for me 🙂 FB I can handle – apart from when weirdos contact ‘me’ instead of ‘blog me’ 😉 BLOCK 🙂
Since of my friends are very big on it. If I like or comment, I get a notification for every person after me. Drives me nuts!!! Too much noise.
Yep, totally agree!
Doesn’t matter in the long run. Cuz I love the process of writing whether anyone reads my stuff or not.
Yeah, I do love it but also the interaction – case in point 😉
Ditto! You really did flash into my head one night finding some guy in Germany. It was so random! Perhaps it was subliminal. In Chicago and the states in general, there are gazillion of Irish married to Germans. I’m Chicago, the history behind it is, they both liked to drink in Sundays after mass. So when the city wanted to close bars and pubs on sundays they joined forces to fight it. 🙂
Ha ha! Brilliant! 🙂 Yeah, the Irish – well, the men traditionally – always liked a drink after church. It was how the women got them there in the first place 🙂
Hahaha! I never knew that.
🙂
I wish analytics were more like google’s analytics. It’s one of the reasons I want to come out, then I’d link it to my website to get analytics.
Ana… hmm. Sometimes it’s like you’re speaking a different language 😉 I think you’re better at this stuff than you think!
Maybe I shouldn’t ask on here. ??
I don’t think I can read e-books on a laptop (maybe I can but I don’t really want to) 😉 So the paper version it is for me – once I recover financially from Berlin!
