Dvorak Guy

On October 9, 2009, I received an email on OK Cupid from a fellow user of the Dvorak keyboard layout. The guy's email was normal enough, although he did go on a bit about the Dvorak keyboard. I mention using the Dvorak layout on my profile, so I'm used to receiving comments about that. However, I'm not used to receiving whole paragraphs about it. No matter. I responded and received another email soon, three paragraphs of which were about his keyboard. Holy shit. I kept my discussion of keyboards to only once sentence in my reply, hoping he would take the hint and move on.

Needless to say, I was not successful. His next email spent another couple of (mercifully brief) paragraphs about keyboard layouts, and then he wound up with the following:

Judging from you photos, you are quit a beautiful woman who already in great shape. That said I would love to see a picture of you after you muscle-up for the rigging job. You can hang me from a string 30 ft above the stage any time! ;-)

Grossed out, I did not respond. I might've hanged him, but (in case the grammar didn't give it away), not from a five point harness.

A few days later, I heard from him again:

I have had a night. I just felt like chatting with some one a little. my yahoo account is ——— (I think.) my google chat is ———

IF not then perhaps some other time.

Definitely not, and never. I love how he didn't even bother to verify his own email address.
