When posting a singles ad....?

.......why do some guys email anyway who clearly are not what a person is looking for? And then, get all surprised, or even worse, angry when they get turned down? Uh, no kidding? Honest question. This is very irritating, and it feels like they only care what they want, not what the other person is looking for.

Update:

Ann, you are BAD, rofl!!! Worse than a naked pic: dic pic. Word: I post them. On Craigs. With the email. SCARY when a guy sends his unsolicited appendage pics.

Update 2:

Post the dic pics, anyway. Very insulting.

    When I was single I used to get that all the time. I hated it. I was very specific. And yes, the guys would get VERY insulted. I was looking for someone about my age and Caucasian, this is what I have always been attracted to. I would get mail from guys who were 15 years older then me and when I thanked them for the interest but that I wasn't interested....Hate mail galore. This one guy started picking my picture apart, even telling me I had big pores. LMAO!! I just wrote back to him telling him that he attacked me because he was rejected. He actually apologized!

    But it's like the guys in the bar that are just not your type. And no matter how nice you are about it, you are the s!ut for not getting with him. Who really knows why. They don't like being rejected.

    Don't take it personal.....(pun intended)

    Because they are insecure. You rejected them and now they are angry. As far as answering the ad goes, women do that just as much. I think I outlined what I am looking for and I get the opposite a lot of times. You know what though? I will, sometimes, go meet them anyway. Beats sitting home alone.

    Don't take it personally, if a guy started picking apart your photo then why did he write you in the first place? That is your indicator that it is insecurity right there. He had to try to bring you down to boost himself. If you are not interested you can also just ignore the e-mail or flirt.

    I ignore all flirts. If they didn't take the time to actually read your profile and write to you about something from it then they are just phishing and you don't owe them a response. Feel free to ignore anyone who doesn't bother to post a photo or immediately offer you one. If they didn't bother to put themselves out there then don't worry about it.

    It sounds like you are a very nice person who feels bad when you ignore a contact. I did that at first too but then you get stuck talking to people that you are not interested in. Just feel flattered that you got a response and move on.

    i agree. you just wanna ask "can you read'?????? some men think they are what women want- and you are clueless. you do have to give them points for trying-( a man about 10 years older than the age range i was lookingfor, 2 inches shorter than me and 110 lbs soaking wet)at the end of a trying day it was fun to see who was looking. and get a few laughs- by the way, you naked pic guys,,, i shared them with everyone

    Some people whether male or female have big egos and think that they are a prize no one could turn down.

    Here's a hint, honey... If they were good looking and not dysfunctional, they probably won't have to look online for love...

    They are looking for one thing and can't believe you don't find them irresistible.
