Why not?? Day 1- Emily

Day one has brought some match.com activity. I have been viewed 12 times and winked at twice.
Match guy "Jon" is looking for an ordinary "lady." I have a a few firm rules when it comes to responding. First, and this is purely based on pictures, if I am stronger than you, we have no Internet future. Second, if you use the term "lady" to describe a female we are over. Lastly, if you post a picture of yourself with no shirt, after a little gagging I will move on quickly. The one exception to this rule is for tattoos. This is shaky territory because even with tats, you may appear to be showing off your over developed pecs, so you really should keep the shirt on.
So, "Jon" begins with breaking the "lady" rule and frankly he is more than a little scary. I applaud his wink, but I will not be responding.
Match guy "Foul mouthed 40 year old" is interesting. He is vegetarian and has lived in Seattle. I am a little put off with the ten year age gap. He describes himself as "foul mouthed." I am torn between liking the honestly and being scared that he wants me to know this bit of information. I will pass on him as well...
So, previous to our decision to document our match.com journey, I have gotten to the first date phase with Match.com guy "Red wine." On paper he is a winner. Degree from a prestigious university, high paying job, out doorsy and so on. However his pictures paint him as a bit of a douche bag. Tonight is the night and he has chosen a fancy wine bar. We'll have to see how it goes.
