Upfront and honest

I winked at a guy on match.com... and he wrote back:

"I just wanted to let you know that I have nipple piercings with a chain between the two, as well as a tattoo on my upper right arm of a Dachshund. I wasn't sure if you would approve so I thought I would check before I tell you much more about myself. I hope you can see past these?"

Is he

I've been very happy for a year now that I didn't let piercings, tattoos, AND a recent branding keep me from getting to know my sweet baboo. He's one in a million, and I feel incredibly fortunate that we met on Craigslist.

You might want to give your fellow a chance. You *did* see something worth winking at in his profile, after all...

Sorry, I meant to say "this fellow," not "your fellow." :)

Ha... the tattoos are ok with me; I've fallen in love with a guy because of his tattoos. But I don't know if I can look at pierced and chained nipples without wincing...

Apalled?

Until I saw your "current mood" of Apalled, I wasn't entirely sure which way you were thinking... Open minded, or "apalled."

Good luck...

I meant "appalled" (sp?) in kind of an amused sense. Body piercings make me think that, well, I'm not in Kansas any more, if Kansas = my usual dating pool. Mostly I thought it was funny.

2 Ps in Appalled, you're right. :)

So, anything more happen with him? Or did you click your ruby slippers and wish for home?

Speaking of Oz, stay away from the SciFi channel's "Tin Man." Blech.

Ha... "Blech" means tin in German. Did you know that? I caught a little bit of the Tin Man, but you're right, I lost interest pretty quickly.

Haven't responded to Mr. Pierced-and-Branded... been kind of unmotivated to do more online dating. Spinsterhood is getting more appealing all the time.
