Dating websites. Read this response....

After reading Pooch's idea about joining a dating website, I set up a personality online to see what kind of response it might evoke. Here is an email I got from a girl last night. Tell me, should I marry her?

I am Model for a clothing here in Nigeria ,i am in nigeria right now i am coming back to state if i can get to see a standard man that is ready to hold my arms. I am single since i had caught my fiancee red handed im my room sleeping with my best friend..but i have erased there path we took to met in my life. Now,i looking for a new love,relationship (Mr Right) i dont know if its you ? But the kind of man am looking for must be very well responsible,honest,caring,lovely,open minded. As for the type of companion I desire. It is rather simple. Race, ethnicity, and physical appearance in general is not problem. My interest is in a good personality and sense of humor for I need someone to lift my spirits. I generally prefer men in the age range of 23-55 bcos i belive age its just a number, but am open to any depending upon their sharing the intimate side of myself with someone willing to do the same. I hope to find a man that I could possibly have a new life and beginning with when i get back. Am still single Still searching for a man who will make me happy till the end of my life and the man i can spend the rest of my life with. I am looking for a love,relationship (Mr Right) i dont know if its you ? But the kind of man am looking for must be very well responsible,honest,caring,lovely and open minded . Hope to hear from you soonest.

Anyway, I replied stating that we lived to far apart, but she then sent me this.

Hello,
How are u doing there??.......I just feel like teling you more about me since i don't have anything i'm doing rigth now, to let you know that i care for u......i don't know if u care for me...lol..
For me,i like going to beaches in my Bikinin,movies shows,musical concerts and sometime go for dinner and taste a little coffe from a small window, ima also the kind of woman that will be waiting at your door whenever you are back, and i also love cuddling on the couch with the man i love watching tv.
i dont have time for playing games around,bcos its very awwful when someone hurt another good feelings... Well, relationship can mean two things: 1) it can mean that we have a connection, which I think exists 2) relationship also means to be romantically and sexually involved and I think we aren't at that level. So, I think at this point, given the amount of time we have e-mail one another, we definetly have a friendship forming based on some exter nal and internal similarities that are developing into a relationship that will bring us a little closer with good intentions, and the potential exists for the relationship to evolve into something more significant.
I've been in several rapports where I was not fully appreciated. In fact, many times I felt I was taken advantage of and that hurts. I'd like to meet someone who recognizes the little things I do for him and knows how to be appreciative. For instance, if I were to make breakfast in bed or draw a bath for my man,he could thank me by giving me a hug or a kiss. Or perhaps sending me a card for no particular occasion just to tell me 'thank you.' I'm very appreciative of what people do for me and I reward them in my own little ways. To me, it's the little things that mean a great deal to me.
What does it really mean to be affectionate? I love a man who can display his affections for me anytime and anywhere without having to be shy. And a person who knows how to be affectionate is a big plus. I love being affectionate.
This may be an odd one, but I've learned that there are many man out there that are set in their ways. They have one way of doing things and are never open to suggestions or advices. Stubborn man are a majoy turn off for me. I like a man who is open to ideas, thoughts, and
basically openminded. I think being receptive brings about sensitivity as well. A man who is ignorant, mean, and just plain insensitive is difficult to get along with.
I would say that I'm not afraid to display my emotions. I'd like someone who is sensitive and caring. If I'm sad, I'd like for him to be able to comfort me and cheer me up. He doesn't has to do much, but just knowing that he's there solacing me is more than good enough.
Have you ever had someone not stand up for you? I was deeply hurt when someone I once knew wouldn't not stand up for me, even after he told me he loved me. I would never allow someone to hurt my boyfriend or my husband, and I would always stand up for him. One thing I will always do for my man is to protect him. I would like to meet someone who will be protective of me.
I had never been married,but i want to get marry soonest and i dont have any kids of my own right now,i like listening to R&B slows or sometimes Rap.
I am coming back to states on the Feb 6th this mouth.. by then and i will also like to meet you though.
Now,i think you've known much about me and i too already known much about you i think ?
I love being with kids and want kids at least 1 boy 1 girl ,i dont know if thats what you like or want ?

So,what do you want us to call it between you and i,are we starting a new relationship or friends or what do you want us to call it???....

Well,i cant wait to hear from you soonest....and also give me your personal ema il addess.....and send me some pics of yours.......
Hope you are thinking about me ?
Gen.

How can I let her down? I feel terrible now but there may be a connecton

I think you have found your soul mate - just send her you bank details and about £400,000 and you'll be fine!!!

She's probably related to Nigerian Royalty!!!

By the way, here is the picture I used for my 'profile'

People from all over the world are winking at me right now. Jealous? You should be

Once again the old 'upside down glasses' trick never fails to snare a lady or two.

It takes probably at least a couple of years before she would get citizenship & by that time you should know if she is genuine or not, or even suggest that you may be moving, or don't have British citizenship yourself, to gauge the response.

Many women from other countries & cultures can be real sweeties & of the kind which is hard to find in Britain. In my experience I never found that the British women I met had the sweetness & romance I was looking for, and to which I found in my wife who is from Somalia. Italian women also are , very loving & romantic & loyal. But of course there are always exceptions & others may have opposite experiences to mine.

I think she sounds like a potential sweetie. I've always felt I am a good judge of character & have always been able to spot a woman with an agenda a mile off. Others are not so good at evaluating potential partners & get into trouble. There are subtle ways of testing. Why not keep in contact & pose a few subtle testing remarks & see what happens.

ps. And check for Big hands & eyebrows that meet in the middle lol

Sounds fishy cap......

Please don't fall for it - hook, line and sinker.

Joking aside, in my honest opinion, it's probably fishing (phishing?) for financial gain. I'd suggest letting him/her/it down politely by saying that you've met someone a bit closer (same country is a start) and although you're flattered, you'll see how this pans out. Then disappear quickly.
