It didn't keep me away.
Thursday night I responded to a normal ad in the Women Seeking Men section of our favorite sleazy hook up site. I got a reply that Friday morning. The gal seemed interesting and cool but I hadn't seen a photo yet, and neither had she. A couple of friends and I were heading downtown to get drunk as shit and I told them about her. I told them that in my previous Craiglist engagements, when a girl doesn't post a picture she was actually hotter than when girls do post pictures. It was true for me. (Don't remember if you guys remember "L" or "R" - met them about 4 years ago). Anyway, one of my buddies was like man invite her out to drink with us so we can all see what she looks like. He was a firm believer that she must be a troll if she didn't post a picture. In her ad she said she was introverted, so I doubted she was going to come out with us.
She didn't. But she did e-mail me later that night, asking for my photo and asking if that was shallow of her. My buddies and I had a good laugh, and so I replied about midnight with a link to my OkCupid site. (Mind you we are still in the bar, and doing this from my buddies iPhone). She replies that she thinks I am really cute and we have a lot in common. Putting off sending me a photo... not a good sign.
Then, I swear to God this is what she sends:

She looks like a Garbage Pail Kid. I mean really, how did she expect me to react? She sent a follow up e-mail and another one an hour later and two hours later, after I didn't reply, with a couple of other pictures and she's a troll. She texted me a couple of times over the weekend (mistake sending her my phone number when I invited her out downtown with us.) Then I get an e-mail today, which actually makes me feel a little bad for her...
"Hey I am sure this is a big no no, but I am dying of curiosity. Am I really that unattractive? I have thought of myself as at least mildly cute...I don't really expect a response. Best of Luck."
She's a desperate girl who can't understand why I wouldn't reply to any e-mails or texts after she sent me her photos, and after we had only exchanged two e-mails anyway.
I'm done with the List.
I've got my profile brimming full of photos and info on OkCupid and there are a lot of really cute girls who seem pretty rad that I should be e-mailing instead.
