A guy contacts me and it says he's 44. He tells me he's really 48. When I inquire as to why he didn't list his true age in his profile and telling him that I have a friend that met someone that was 8 yrs older than what he was and subsequently wasn't truthful about a few other things (I also inquired as to if his pictures are recent) he tells me he thinks I'm rude and doesn't want to continue having a conversation with me. Huh. Was I stepping over the line? Should I have just accepted that he's older than what he states and not question it? I think he has something to hide and I called him out....but maybe I'm TOO suspicious?
He also taught me a new word: ad hominem - An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.[1] The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy,[2] but it is not always fallacious; in some instances, questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue.[3]
But he wrote "a ad hominem" as opposed to "an ad hominem" but I knew bringing that up would really be too much. See....I'm not that bad. Am I???? Don't answer that.
Date Me!

Oh my god! 1. I think it's awesome you called him out on it. Why would he lie? Suspish.
ReplyDelete2. To use "ad hominem" proves there's something up with this cat.
3. You are not suspicious, you are totally right. And obviously, if he got so upset, something is absolutely up with this cat.
4. You are awesome.
Thank you for your support my friend. The guy obviously has some issues....insecurities? Yes. I will try not to sweat it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I read your blog. Don't drop your balls.
Just caught up on January's dating adventures. Hang in there. Your screening process seems to be working, and they do make great stories. Your blog about young dames listen up was right on the mark, and now that you have that clarity you won't repeat that mistake (a mistake I made many times before Charles). Keep being fabulous...quality attracts quality..you my friend are indeed quality!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Funk. I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you the story about the guy I met online, who was scared to meet me, even in a public place that I suggested, because he heard a story about a guy who met a girl online and was found dead in his trunk of his car. After a few calls, I finally told him, that I was not interested in meeting him, but if he was going to use the medium of dating women he should not share that fear with girls he meets and plan on public places. I always wondered what happened to him.
ReplyDeleteOK...that is scary and hilarious all at the same time. I think we need to get together over drinks and share our stories!
