A creep magnet.

It has recently occurred to me (or been pointed out to me) that I am a magnet for creepy people. Some may think this should freak me out. That I should be worried. Some may beg me to change my phone number and to buy mace. But in reality, it amuses me to a tremendous degree. I have so many creeptastic stories that I will tell over time. Seriously amazing. I know stuff like this has to happen to other people. It can't just be me...

I will start with the most recent creep contact.

(this seemed like the best picture for the topic at hand)

On both Skype and Facebook, I frequently get random friend requests and messages. I am not really into being friends with people that I do not know. I don't like thinking about strangers having so much information about me. It kind of weirds me out (and here I am posting all this random shit on an open blog... it makes sense to me, so back off.)

I rarely get a friend request from a stranger that is not accompanied by a message. For the most part the message is short and sweet, straight to the point.

"Hey you seem interesting, I would like to get to know you."

"I was looking at your profile and thought you seemed worth talking to."

"I would love to get to know you. Add me as a friend if you feel the same way."

But the other day, I got a message that blew all other messages out of the water. And here it is for your viewing pleasure. (I cleaned up his punctuation a bit.)

Hello how are you doing and how was your day? I am [name of creeper] by name. I'm new to this, my dear. I have gone through your profile and it moves me to write you. I am a single man 53 years of age, widow before 1 kid. I am generally an optimistic person with a sense of humor, fairly easy going. I do not club and I do not drink or smoke. Looking for a special someone, that I could love with all my heart, body, and soul. I love to find experiences and to share them with someone who is serious about finding the right man. If you are seeking for the same...write me here [email address] and get to know each other. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

I'll be waiting for you reply soon.

Hugs and Kisses

This is weird, right? Other people have to be getting similar messages, right? It cannot just be me, right? But awesome, right?
