I'm sure you feel exactly right in your assumptions.

Have a nice day.

I think this one likely bemuses me even more than his previous two messages (see entries #27 and #29), in part because I was mulling it over during commute, and figured that if he did write me back, it would be something almost exactly like this message.

Clearly, he either hadn't read my profile, or if he did, didn't read it well. Having failed in his (laughable) attempts at wooing, he needs to soothe his ego, and not having any real understanding of who I am or what matters to me, he's taken the scattershot approach at insulting. Failure, on all accounts.

Yes, I'm short. Yes, I'm chubby. I'm also decidedly healthy in spite of my weight; it's more a shape than it is any health detriment, and if anything, I feel lucky to be out of the hourglass shape of my youth - when it's a dealbreaker for someone, then that clearly indicates a lack of interest in anything beyond a brainless shiny.

I don't need to act better than I am... the plain truth is that, in interpersonal respects, I just happen to be better than him. I'm a happy person. I enjoy the world. And I like to express myself well. I don't get treated like shit in the real world - I have a great family, marvelous friends, and a quality work environment.

The pictures I have attached to any of my profiles are myself. I'm not 50, although I'm just as amused that he seems to find age insulting as weight. Personally, I've always been attracted to older men.

I'm puzzled by working for the state being an insult; I know quite a few people who do, and they lead comfortable lives, and have good security - especially important in the current economy, no?

I also know a few people who live with their parents - again, I am puzzled as to why this would be an insult. I am, in fact, a homeowner, but both my siblings moved home at one point or another, and I know quite a few people who have done the same. It's a familiar space, usually low rent or rent free, and allows one to build up a financial buffer and spend time with people close to them.

He's right about one thing at least. This was fun to break down and defuse.
