This fucking guy IMs me on JDate, and he lives in the next town, so I respond. He asks if I have any more pictures. Sure. He says that ones where I'm in a skirt are preferable

Ok... regardless of whether or not anyone thinks Meri "overreacted," no one has the right to downplay her emotions. They are hers and hers alone, and are valid for her to have. If she was insulted, annoyed, offended... no one can tell her she was wrong. Her emotions are her own, and how anyone else would have acted in the situation has very little bearing on her.
Now as a woman who has quite recently dealt with this sort of thing, I understand her point. There are many other ways for a man to pay his compliments. She was offended - enough said. How one woman might or might not react does not make Meri's feelings wrong in any way.

You're absolutely on the money.. but I never said she was wrong, nor do I even beleive I could ever make her "wrong".. only made an observation about how she was acting and responding.

It happens repeatedly, first of all, and I reached my limit. I've spent the last 2 1/2 to 3 years laughing at stupid people, but everyone has a limit, ya know? I've reached it. I haven't posted about it every time, so maybe there's no way for others to know about how often, and how pervy it gets.
Secondly, why is it when a woman gets upset with something, she's "uptight"? That really bothers me. Whenever I'm upset about something, I find I can always count on a guy to tell me to "relax"... just what I fucking need -- to be told how to feel. Sure, I'll just "chill out"... lemme find that switch...
I also remember when you were frustrated about dating in the 00's... I seem to remember one journal entry in particular that was kind of bitter. But I didn't tell you to "chill out." Because your feelings are valid.
You seem to have met a nice girl, and that's great. It makes it somewhat easy to forget how infuriating it can be to try to meet someone nice.

i havne't met anyone I am dating. If you're talking about my friend Jeanne, she's just a great friend.. but that's it.
Some dude online asked you for specific pix.. so what? He wasn't threatening you, he was interested in you.. and YES, he wanted to see you. i don't see why you are so upset about it. He was curious about what you look like... just like everyone is curious what the other person looks like.
Chill out.. you are WAY too uptight.. don't stress so much. Take it as a compliment or humor.
Don't take yourself so seriously.. things will be a lot easier for you.

i'm not inundated with dates but, since I took more out of my profile, i've had more responses.
As for harassing responses.. there's a block button.
