I don't think a stable person would've analyzed their own sensations in such depth and then taken the time to share them...<br /><br />In terms of an appropriate reaction (to this and other missives), what about just not writing back at all? I admit I've taken that route when I knew the email-writer (ex-boyfriend or just person I wasn't interested in) would just use my reply to continue a conversation I wasn't comfortable with, or interested in, having. I'm not sure if it's terribly polite, but if after one short respectful email the other party keeps emailing asking why I'm not interested (one even gave me a list of a-f options to choose from!), I think silence may be the best policy.PolishTravellerhttps://whereismysuitcase.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670426779858438488.post-80774399679151166582015-07-11T15:13:19.792+01:002015-07-11T15:13:19.792+01:00Anyone suspect that the "man's letter&quo...Anyone suspect that the "man's letter" has been lengthened and worsened by the lady? I do. It appears to be similar in length, tone and style to her letter. Most of these "open letters" in response to insults require that the original insult be heinous. The rude other mother in a park must recoil in horror from the baby's birthmark and exclaim loudly. The rude man on a tinder date must write a long screed alternately praising and insulting the chick he went on a single date with -- instead of just never calling her again, which is the normal thing to do. Rudeness happens, and I've seen some horrible things play out in public and online. Perhaps it is all real, and simply a sad example of how the modern full disclosure age lessens everyone's dignity. Perhaps Englishmen do write entire essays to women they've gone on one date with. Perhaps.sciencegirlnoreply@blogger.com
