Tell me you at least mentioned your genitals. First impressions are important.

With that said, my two favorite blogs are

Subject line:

"I liked your profile on [Dating Service]"

That bit really shouldn't be difficult.

Chill. All you need is "I liked your profile", or if that's too much of a commitment for you: "Your [Dating Service] profile." The subject line doesn't have to be clever.

LB, I know it's your birthday, but I am not using the "I liked your profile" subject line. And don't you know that you're not supposed to tell someone who's unchill to chill?

I haven't gone through with it yet, w/d, and if this subject line requirement isn't resolved to my satisfaction, might not yet.

Thank you.

Now I can focus on trolling neo-Nazi and anti Jew sites.

Funny how the left has allied with them? Not at all.

You know, it occurs to me that we have the makings of a fairly good blog game here. If ogged's e-mailing her, he has joined some service and intends to redirect her to his profile. So why aren't we playing "Find ogged"? Shouldn't we be e-mailing ogged with our best guesses, and then shouldn't he be posting links to the funniest pictures of our best guesses? All we really know is that ogged is Iranian, girlish, and 6' tall. And we roughly know his age. We don't even know what site he's looking at. Really, the possibilities are limitless.

(NB: Obviously, no one who has met ogged could play, as that would be cheating.)

Timbot, do you really think I'd make my profile public? It's hidden to all save those that I contact through the service. (Yes, I'm a free rider.) I might be desperate, but I'm not insane.

Some of the salon personals show up on google, but not the one's ogged linked below, apparently. And the unstoppable cook and the punch in the face sense of humor are not on google either.

Can you do that? That seems very anti-humor. And women like the funny.

Anyway, yours is solely a single step in the arms race. You hide your profile, we craft fake personals to lure you in to responding to them. Indeed, you've now rather restricted the size of the pool in which we will fish. Silly Shi'a.

In any case, it would be up to you to post any links, so there'd be no chance that we'd blow your anonymity. (I'm not, after all, w-lfs-n.)

"I am a blonde Swedish Olympian. I am looking for a slender, well-educated Iranian, Armenian, or Assyrian about 6' tall, preferably with a sadistic sense of humor and not too much of the earnestness of which my country has such an oversupply.

It would be a big plus if he is an America-hating leftist who has chosen to ally himself with neo-Nazis and Jew-haters.

Only a few weeks ago I had an enormous crush on a swimming student I had of that description, but I was unable to break down his traditional Assyrian reserve, and now I languish."

That's wrong in several particulars, the nature of which I cannot discuss.

Also, this.

"Well-educated" is a relative term, ogged, and love is blind. I'm sure that a perfunctory pretence of Naziism would also be enough.

Rachel Wacholder (including her ass) is an advertiser on TPM which has a 20-year TOS-based plan to destroy the Internet and has not yet denied links with neo-Nazi and anti-Jew sites. This is all coming together.

This also explains it. Next item of business: craft fake personal ad in ogged's area such that he won't be able to resist answering it.

Holy crap - am suddenly impelled to write comment giving Ogged encouragement in this endeavor to find love and/or companionship via IP address.

Sack up, lad!

You can do it!

My god, sometimes it hits me how hard it must be, sometimes, to be a guy. As opposed to my community, where it's hard when you're being a guy some times. Hey-O! (BTW, finding it odd that I'm the first in this comment thread to start with the cock comments. Come on, people.)

There is a time for humor but pursuit of love comes first.

As for a name - I suppose you've already got it, but for the future may I suggest:

Joe Gibbons - generic fake name used for generations. I don't know how it started. Might even be somebody's real name.

Major Talon - tough

Soulgem - sensitive

Boise Galdiator - no comment

Some primitive nations have one-way internets, like one-way pay phones, so people don't email their cocaine dealers. It's an aspect of hegemony.
