Meet John and Paul, two men most women might want to avoid! John was dubbed The Worst Person in the World for an e-mail he sent to a woman, and Paul wrote a How To manual for getting women into bed.
“I’ve been on the Internet dating about five-plus years,” says John, 35. “I basically put my picture on the Internet, put my profile up, and let women approach me.” John shows his Web site with a picture of him, “Reading the Forbes, got on the Hugo Boss tux, got the wine …” he says. “My ego is as big as my head. My criteria are: attractive, educated, interesting. I provide all those things; I want all those things, and I won’t settle for less.”
“John’s page is exactly like the men I’ve dated,” says Tricia, 46. “The more they talk about themselves, the bigger and uglier they get. That’s what’s out there. That is why I will never do online dating again. Ever. I just want to choke these guys that are like this.”
John reads from his Match.com profile. “‘Ivy League alum, all-American guy seeks girl next door,’” he says. “I had had some correspondence with this girl. She must’ve found me appealing, so she e-mailed me. She had six pictures of her head on her profile. She’s hiding something. She’s probably big. I sent her back a pretty standard e-mail. I told her I work for a Fortune 500 company, I work out four days a week, I live in the ritziest part of town, and I was educated at the best school in the country. The girl sent me back an e-mail saying we’re not a personality match. I didn’t ask her to suck her toes, I didn’t ask her to send me her underwear. She hit on me, and then she’s telling me she’s not interested? I sent her an e-mail that said, ‘I think you forgot how this works. You hit on me, and therefore have to pass my criteria and standards. Six pictures of your head lets me know one thing: You are not in shape. I’m a trainer on the side, so the next time you meet a guy of my caliber, just get to the gym. I will even give you one free training session.’ She decided to send my e-mail to every media outlet.”
