How NOT to start a conversation

I find it truly baffling how some men approach women in general but some take it to another level online.  I would beg to say that insulting a woman as your first approach is not going to get you very far.  I'm so fortunate as I was contacted by one of these types not so long ago. Email chain goes like this:


FROM: Hal90***
wow!!!!
"A litle bit of this.....bit of that." That's really a gem. That was beautiful! who said that, confuscious? I mean, honestly!

TO: HAL90***
re: wow!!!
Definitely a Leeism, not a Confucianism..what can I say I have a way with words?


FROM:HAL90***
re: wow!!!
Tell me something, do you ever have this little voice in your head that says this might be a bad idea? Let me put it to you this way..your dating headline,"a litttle bit of this....that." is a bit pathetic. Although it does have a certain kindergarten charm.

re: wow!!!
It's called sense of humor? Tell me something, ok? In what universe do you spent most of your time?Trying to have a conversation with you..it's like talking to a dinning-room table. I've no desire doing that. I don't have a lot of hope for you...but I wish you good luck


I will admit my headline of "a little of this and a little of that" is not stellar but I like it and it describes me.  Plus, have you ever really seen a dating headline that is reminiscent of Shakespeare or Faulkner?  I haven't and this guy's headline talked about Mai Tais.  In 3 emails, he managed to call me pathetic, say I have kindergarten charm,  "having a conversation with me is like talking to a dinning room table", and he doesn't have a lot of hope for me.  If he, apparently, found me so without merit or charm, why did he contact me first?  Is this really his definition of a conversation?  Insult and then hope the other individual really wants to chat more with you.  I think not.
