So I am a woman of a certain age who is basically the only single girl in my group of friends. Most everyone else is married, engaged or seriously dating someone. I have previously paid for 2 different dating sites and didn't really get anywhere. I was rejected by normal guys almost daily, had less than desirable candidates try to woo me and was stood up 3 times.
Fast Forward about 2 years... I am still single, with pretty much no game. I join a free dating site and make sure that my pictures are fun and cute. I try to sell myself the best I can and post my profile. (I, for the record, think that I am a decent catch).
The emails/ contacts that I have received have really made me rethink this whole thing. And manners have taught me that I cannot exactly respond to these contact the way I really want to. SO... here is how I would, if I had the balls.
To HotGuy8151949: Ok, I know your profile says you are only 50 (like that is acceptable) and that my age limit is 35, I know that you are really 60 and therefore, I could NEVER date someone that is old enough to be my dad and I do not care that you had a dream in which I was the perfect mate for you. YOU ARE OLD.
To BMoreishotforyou: I don't care that even though you don't have "baby mama drama," the fact that you have more than 1 child with more than one mother at the age of 25 makes me think that you are not really the most responsible person. I don't need any kids right now, and I know this is terrible but, if you ask me "How you doin? You fine. How'z about we meet?" I am going to turn you down just for your grammer. I am not opposed to small mistakes in grammer, but blatant disregard for basic verbs, does immediately get a delete from my inbox.
To every shirtless guy who messages me: I do not want to see topless pictures of you, and this will not convince me to show you mine.
To the normalish guys who get my real email: STOP TURING INTO PERVS 2 seconds after you get my real email. I do not want to be your facebook friend before I've ever met you. I do not want to set up a time to come and give you an erotic massage (my profile clearly states I am looking for a relationship, not a f*ck buddy.) I will also not tell you that I want to lick you, have a 3-some or go to your ex-girlfriend (who is 400lbs.) wedding to show that you can get a skinnier date.
Where have all the good guys gone?!

I am so with you. I am a lot older than you and I think the men are dead or in jail or gay. They could have also been taken hostage by ailens. That's the story I use when my family ask me if I am in a relationship or when I am I getting married because the clock is about to be blow up. :-(
