Weird Experience

The last couple of days I have been having a weird experience with someone on match.com.

It started last night when I received an email from a 33 year old woman in Malaysia. She said that she had been checking out my profile, and then proceeded to ask me several questions.I checked out her profile and it seems that she is interracial, half Malay and half Spanish. On the profile she tried to use a lot of strine so as to suggest that she's up to date with Aussie culture, but the whole thing seemed to be aimed at her landing an Aussie husband so as she could migrate here.

I politely answered all of the questions and mentioned that my ex-partner is also Malaysian, from the state next door to where this women was living. I was polite and courteous and I let her know that I was not really interested in a long distance relationship at this time.

I then received another email from her telling me that she thought that I was lying about my age and that I did not look 38. (Why would I lie about that?) She then said that she thought that the ages of the women that I was searching for was ridiculous and that she no longer wanted to be in contact with me. (Again, WTF. The women I am searching for are between late 20s to early 40s. It is not unreasonable for a 38 year old to be interested in women in this age range!)

I could not resist sending another email to her asking what age did she think I was and what age should the women that I am searching for be. I also again told her that I am not interested in a long distance relationship. I was as polite as I could possibly be, even though I was fuming.

Thirty minutes later I receive another email from this woman. She said that she thought I was a confused person and why would I be emailing her and telling her that I would like to date someone from Kuala Lumpur if I did not want a long distance relationship. She said that she felt very sorry for me. Again, WTF???

I then sent a final email telling her that I was not interested, that she was wasting her time and mine, and that she was not to contact me again. I then blocked her from sending emails to me.

This was a very weird experience, and I gather that I will be having more of these in the months to come. I have been told to be very wary of some women by someone from match.com that I have been chatting to. She said that there are people out there, both women and men, who are just trying to scam money out of others. She had already had someone who had tried to extort money from her and she has warned me to be wary of this. I am very thankful for this advice.
