What are you trying to sell me? (33)
BClady: Does anyone else ever get mail in their inbox from people who go right into themselves, naming their occupations, character traits, likes, dislikes...etc, and how they KNOW you are the one for them? Their approach sounds more like an overrated, recorded sales pitch than a sincere effort toward breaking the ice. You can even detect the monotone!
Yet, you never see them in the forums, interacting and conversing with you in an effort to try and get to know you.
You can message them back, and their reply is just as long and mundane as the original message. No "hey, how is your day?", or..."What are your plans for the day?" or anything that resembles a 'two way' mutual conversation. These are the ones who's game I'll play for a while to see whether or not they finally hang up. If they don't then I do.

BClady: The same way as one can detect the sarcasm in certain replies to their posts. Haven't you ever read anything that seemed like it was written by a robot?
My post was not sarcastic (nor in monotone)...just asking a legitimate question.

BClady: Did I mention your name? Don't remember it, yet you "detected" that I was talking about you. I Hope your reply answers your question.
Did you post it in a monotone?

For those who are still confused about monotone in an email the words just run into each other no punctuation or conversational tone is present just words and a lot of mumbo jumbo that the person writing it wants to throw at you no interest in starting a conversation that you soon want to fall asleep or into a hypnotic trance......please, someone stop me......

I knew what you meant, and if you go through the women's profiles, the pics. of women, that don't look like they would have a very hard time to find a date ones... alot of their profiles are written that way, then it says they live in the U.S.------ This thread is Archived ------

Geeze, how come everyone else gets the interesting ones. All I ever get are the ones that have something important to tell me, in broken English, but only from their private email address.
When do I get a scientist, surgeon or a dentist?

thats not monotone??
why are you crabby tonight?
never seen you be that way before...
and gee whiz i rarely use punctuation so ill try not to bore you
anyway those mails if they include personal email should be reported at the bottom of the mail there is a report button
thats not monotone but ignorance of grammar and punctuation
it is typical of phishing ( a scam tactic )
and we all get them
i also wanted to mention-even tho i'll bet someone mentioned this already
there are actually thousaaaaaands of members worldwide on this site
about 40 regular posters
i know tons of people here for years that dont use forums and yet have email friendships. i know women in forums that only date non forum CS'ers-
