UPDATE: I got one response since posting this a few hours ago.
I hope you find the boy you seek and live artistically and happily ever after. I'm more of an analytical dude myself. I like movies where people die, and things go BOOM! Your friend may be more my style. I have included a bit about myself below:
- SM
- 28 y/o
- 6'2
- thin (think runway model-type, yes I use to model)
- 150 pounds
- Yorkie owner
- very metro (although I hate labels)
- Evanescence is my favorite band
- I don't own an Xbox 360 or any other video game system
- I"m well read if Linux, and hacking books count
- My idea of a good time is going outside and having a snowball fight!
- so he's an analytical, action movie-loving, former model who writes code and has snowball fights? got a lot going on there, bucko.
- "yes I use to model" - thanks for a) the confirmation and b) the lack of punctuation
- what's the line between "metro" and "very metro"? price of hair product? height of faux-hawk? skinniness of jeans?
- I like that Xbox is specifically called out.

ok so much to talk about with this...
A)seriously this must be a joke... NO ONE would ever admit that Evanescence is his favorite band....really in 2007?!?
B)the line between metro and very metro, I think, has less to do with his accessories and more to do with the type of accessories he has for the dog
C) What is the point of him saying that " your friend may be more my style"? Did he imagine that after such a glowing personal description that you were going to pass this along to your friend so she could have a chance with former model??
ps.. I love the tag add ons... brilliant!
ok, also, 150 lbs at 6'2" is ruff.
I think your definition of the line between metro and very metro is perfect.
Maybe I will write him back as though I think it's a joke and see what happens.
Ok, this is what I just responded:
I wasn't sure if you were serious at first, but then I read that Evanescence was your favorite band and I knew that this email a) was a joke or b) somehow traveled through time from a year when people liked Evanescence.
that is an amazing response! if he doesn't respond though i think we can safely say that it was NOT a joke. and that is sad. i mean for him. obviously.
Also, I don't get where HE gets that your friend may be "more his style". You didn't say anything about your friend loving shoot-em-ups. It's like he sees an ad from someone who is clearly not his type and who is looking for someone who is not him and he thinks "Hmmmm... maybe she has a friend she could set me up with!" Brilliant.
wow i just reread this and I have to say it is funnier the second time! Also I am typing this on my I-phone which is excessive cause I'm at home and my computer is next to me...whatever suckas!
I wonder if he was hoping your friend was male...?
ooh, good call, anonymous. that didn't even occur to me. i would have expected him to just say that in the response, but it's a definite possibility.
Yes, he sounds like JUST the guy for me.
