ClueChick: real clues from a real chick

You know those people who hog conversations? These are the ones who trap you in the corner and yammer on about whatever they're interested in, without regard to whether or not the person they've pinned to the wall (in a wholly unsexy way) cares about what they're talking about or has anything to say about it. Yes, we all know these people.

I can't decide if I think it's worse to get trapped by one of these people who's talking about something about which I have an opinion and, thus, feel frustrated at not getting a chance to share said opinion, or one who's talking about something that couldn't bore me more, because I do hate being bored.

It turns out that these people exist in cyberspace, too. In response to one of my ads, this type of guy goes on and on in an email that's at least three times longer than my original ad. Possibly more. He talks all about himself and things that interest him and never asks a question or leaves me a conversational "hook" to help me know how to respond to him. He usually closes with a demand that I should write him back.

These emails are usually very obviously generic replies that I can only imagine get sent to hundreds of women each week. I would be surprised if they ever get a response.

Guess why?
