But it's also not the greatest way to open an email. I cant envision a situation where a woman getting that message would write someone back saying "yeah, you're right. i look like a dumbass. let's go out". Nonetheless, writing the guy back and calling him names was completely out of line.

Let's remember that not all people have the same sense of humor. In fact, the initial matador comment comes off as mean-spirited on first impression. <BR/><BR/>If you want to get a positive response from someone, then why start off insulting their appearance and opening with sarcasm? <BR/><BR/>Face it, a lot of women, those with a sense of humor, even, are not into being insulted, or 'teased' as you call it, as a pickup line. I would even venture a guess that most women would probably delete that clumsy, immature attempt at humor, and wouldn't take 2 seconds to type a response. <BR/><BR/>It doens't matter whether the intent was not malicious, the net result is that you came across that way.<BR/><BR/>Way to scare em' off!

If you are looking for someone who can handle a little sarcasm or playful teasing, such as this, and they bug out-- good thing you "weeded [her] out" (as A.S. put it)! Playful and NOT malicious is the key!! Sometimes things can be misconstrued if you don't know the individual... That being said, don't "walk on eggshells" but be tactful... IMHO, the writer of the email was OBVIOUSLY playing around and the matador had the sense of humor of a kumquat! Keep searching funny man, she's out there!Stephenwww.approachdynamics.comnoreply@blogger.com
