IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!

Look out now, cause the shiny new soapbox Santa brought me for Christmas is made of STEEL - and has a warranty. You know, I just absolutely love it when a guy messages me that he completely agrees with my statement that it's what's in the package that counts then promptly asks "Are those all the photos you have?"!  (Please note the sarcasm there.)  

Seriously, do guys not understand that that question is the equivalent of asking us girls "Is that all you got?" It's like they're looking for something they're not quite seeing in the 5 photos right in front of them. What do they think - we have our spare cup size tucked away behind our back or something?!

Here's an idea. How about we start turning the tables on them? For example, let's say you're looking at a guy's profile and from what you can read he's a pretty nifty guy so you go in for a closer look at HIS pictures.  I bet HE wouldn't like YOU asking "Is that all you got?"! But guys, well guys just don't think like that.  Here's their profile perusal path: stare at photos, glance at profile, stare at photos. Then, if you're lucky (sorta), they'll next send you a message where they'll say "hi". 

Guys, the proper stare/glance/message ratio is approximately 2:1:2. That means, if you're gonna spend two minutes staring at our photos disassembling us like Lincoln logs, may I suggest you spend at least that much time coming up with something more than 'hi'... Yes, I know I've covered that but apparently there are way too many out there who didn't read that post so I'm gonna repeat it - gotta get use out of that soapbox you know.  If the subject of your message is 'hi' then I assure you - WE HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME! 

Surely you can come up with something a little more interesting. Why do that you ask? Simple, if you can't come up with more than 'hi' in a message then how in the world do you expect us to carry on a conversation with you? Look at it this way: the 'hi' to 'delete' ratio is about 1:1. Those are odds you won't get in Vegas.
