This conversation took place a few days ago, I pasted into a draft post and only just now got around to finishing the post.

Now, I’m pretty open-minded in general, but some things still sort of throw me for a loop. Check out this guy, who is 35 according to his Yahoo! profile (which also mentions that he’s looking for a wife, basically). Apparently, he’s into mature women…

(23:33:37) shamim_20035: this is your corrent pic ?
(23:33:53) shamim_20035: are u really 96?

No idea what pic he’s referring to, but it’s good to know he’s incredulous about me being 96.

(23:34:43) cary: No, nor have I claimed to be.
(23:35:14) shamim_20035: may i talk with u to be frunk
(23:35:24) shamim_20035: u can asked me anythings
(23:35:29) cary: Frunk?
(23:35:45) shamim_20035: open minded
(23:35:51) cary: Why did you ask if I was 96?
(23:36:48) shamim_20035: i have no matter if u are gental,wise,broaded minded etc
(23:36:59) cary: Answer the question.

Really, I am very curious to know where’s he’s getting his info.

(23:37:04) shamim_20035: ok
(23:37:51) cary: Well?
(23:38:11) shamim_20035: u have web cam now?
(23:38:18) cary: Why did you ask if I was 96?
(23:38:51) shamim_20035: i give u already answer to u plz
(23:39:06) cary: No, you did not.
(23:39:11) shamim_20035: take care back line
(23:39:36) cary: “i have no matter if u are gental,wise,broaded minded etc” is not an answer to the question I asked.

Duh.

(23:39:50) cary: Please tell me why you asked if I was 96.
(23:41:00) shamim_20035: because your pic is not really 96 ages pic
(23:41:07) shamim_20035: so i asked u really
(23:41:21) cary: Okay, so, why do you think I am 96?
(23:41:52) shamim_20035: may be or not
(23:42:14) shamim_20035: may be it is your mother age
(23:42:24) cary: She’s not 96 either.
(23:42:43) shamim_20035: because i dont know or practally not seen so i asked

So, apparently he just pulled 96 out of his ass as a guess.

(23:42:54) cary: Maybe you should look at my profile. http://profiles.yahoo.com/cary
(23:43:21) cary: So basically you just assumed I was 96? That seems a bit odd.

Doesn’t it? You know you think so too.

(23:43:42) shamim_20035: ok
(23:43:46) shamim_20035: u are male
(23:44:00) cary: Really?

I thought about saying something about checking my pants, but I figured the joke would be lost on this guy.

(23:44:22) shamim_20035: just i see profile
(23:44:42) cary: Obviously.
(23:45:08) shamim_20035: dont know this word
(23:45:40) cary: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=obviously
(23:47:17) shamim_20035: ok
(23:49:47) cary: So, this marriage gig, do you meet a lot of hot women this way?

Yes, I’m a sardonic bastard.

(23:50:28) shamim_20035: but i am looking oldest women really
(23:50:45) shamim_20035: can u manage for me

I must’ve missed this the first time around. Is he asking me to pimp for him???

(23:51:03) shamim_20035: longterm/short
(23:51:11) shamim_20035: or marrage
(23:51:19) shamim_20035: real only
(23:51:21) cary: You want to marry a 96 year old?
(23:51:44) shamim_20035: may be if understand with her fully
(23:52:45) shamim_20035: 60 to up
(23:52:54) cary: I see.

I’m at a loss here. I mean, really, what do you say to this?

So, anyhow… heh, a decade or so difference, that’s cool. Even 15 years if you are both older. But 25? And that’s his minimum!? Pass.
