| Why offended |
To those who asked after my last post about being approached by guys with 'Hi Pretty', why I'm 'offended' by this, here's a few reasons:
- I have a name. And it's not pretty. It's quite clearly at the top of my profile.
- By not using my name the guy implies that the email to me is just one of many generic emails to lots of ladies.
- On point 2, I don't have a problem with him writing to others - he's not the only one who's mailed me - but please take some time and thought when writing to me. Perhaps pick up on something I've said in my profile. The implied laziness turns me off.
- And if all that 'fascinates' him about me is my smile, then he's far too superficial for me - I don't smile that often!
That's it for now. |

Well put! I think anyone that asked why that would be offensive does not understand the context. Under most circumstances being called pretty is a compliment...but in the way it was used here, you are right on in your assessment!
