Optimism level: Does my profile say I’m a hooker?

At the point that I’d received three winks and one email, my profile indicated I’d had four page views. It’s possible that everybody who viewed my page then contacted me but it’s unlikely. I’m curious how accurate those page view counts really are.

TODAY’S SENT EMAILS: No typo there, I did indeed send out two new emails today. Both were to guys I’d added to my favorites list early on. I don’t know how long most people maintain their memberships but after 49 days, I know the early profiles could start disappearing. Both guys’ essays were pretty short- not enough to get a sense of their personalities- but they both fit the basic requirements and they’re nice looking. My emails to them were just a couple sentences long and I won’t be disappointed if I don’t hear from them. On the other hand, I would have liked to have heard from Banana Man and/or Adventure Man but I didn’t. What can I do? I wrote back to George Costanza and basically said I don’t like phone calls, let’s meet. I think it’s likely we’ll meet up in the next week or so.

EMAIL #1: This one’s from a guy in Georgia who said that he visits LA just about every week for work. Then he came right out and asked if I’d like to have drinks with him Friday or Saturday. Talk about cutting to the chase! He said that he’s not looking for a fling, just a nice woman to go out with. Then he wrote: This might sound crazy but if we click I have to attend a show in Vegas all next week and maybe you would be up for coming to vegas for a night or 2 to join me at some of the parties that I have to attend. He should have stuck to his instinct about sounding crazy. If we went out on a date and got along well, it still would have sounded too forward but for him to ask me to meet him in Vegas for “a night or 2″ in an introductory letter is, well, crazy. No need to even look at his profile. Moved to folder: What happens in Vegas…won’t happen with me.
