&lt;p&gt;Oct 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They say some men grow up to marry their own mum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thing is, I’ve come to terms with this and am looking for a girlfriend that reminds me of my mum. When I saw your profile, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. “Mum?” I gasped. Not believing that she would put herself on such a dating website, far be it from her. I then came to my senses and realised you are my dream women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marry me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oct 12&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. I WISH, I WISH I WERE A DOG SO I COULD SUCK MYSELF OFF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bartleby.com/95/27.html"&gt;Emily Post,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bartleby.com/95/27.html"&gt; “Etiquette: Notes and Shorter Letters.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason Emily Post never wrote a column about the proper way to tell someone you wank to their photos is because there IS no proper way to tell someone you wank to their photos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, Post’s &lt;a href="http://www.bartleby.com/95/28.html"&gt;advice to young women writing to men&lt;/a&gt; is excellent advice for anyone angling for a date online who might need a reminder to mind their manners:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, if you are a young girl or woman, and are determined to write letters to an especial—or any other—man, no matter how innocent your intention may be, there are some things you must remember—remember so intensely that no situation in life, no circumstances, no temptation, can ever make you forget. They are a few set rules, not of etiquette, but of the laws of self-respect:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Never send a letter without reading it over and making sure that you have said nothing that can possibly “sound different” from what you intend to say.&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never so long as you live, write a letter to a man—no matter who he is—that you would be ashamed to see in a newspaper above your signature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remember that every word of writing is immutable evidence for or against you, and words which are thoughtlessly put on paper may exist a hundred years hence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never write anything that can be construed as sentimental.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never take a man to task about anything; never ask for explanations; to do so implies too great an intimacy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never put a single clinging tentacle into writing. Say nothing ever, that can be construed as demanding, asking, or even being eager for, his attentions!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Always keep in mind and never for one instant forget that a third person, and that the very one you would most object to, may find and read the letter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://pantslock.com/post/22740039451</link><guid>http://pantslock.com/post/22740039451</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 May 2012 15:30:44 -0700</pubDate><category>wtf</category><category>etiquette</category><category>submission</category></item><item><title>"young mums are my fetish :) do you have milk in your tits :)"</title><description>“young mums are my fetish :) do you have milk in your tits :)”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Before you hit “send,” read what you’ve said out loud.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;When I write your biography, I will title it, “The Resentful Heterosexual.” That’s just the working title. It may morph into something more risqué like, “I Hate Men, But I Love Penis!” Anyway, that’s the impression I get from your profile. I’ve been wrong before. Correct me if you can.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you write well! was this glib, or did it take a little time? I think you’re too young for me, in many ways. Maybe I’d go as far as to say too alive. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I’m a bit surprised you’ve had to turn here to the internets seeking companionship, but then, no, multi-dimensional humans just aren’t that easy to come by.
