Subject: AFL

nice job in ur walkthrough,
always nice to see a chic who who knows their footy, (pic would nice lol).
Im footy nut from the western district. I dont play much ps games but i
needed a footy. Ur walthorugth was pretty detailed. Now i can go out an buy
the game wooohooo and not get pissed coz im crap at pc games. lol ill use my
footy knowlegde. Nice work (send pic ok lol)


I've gotten a lot worse in the past, but for some reason tonight, finding this, has just gotten to me. Do I e-mail every male that writes a walkthrough I like and say 'omg ur a guy can i have a pic plz?' No. Why do people do it to me? It's so stupid....

(ignore me, it's been a long day)

Send him a picture (even if it isn't of you), and start getting his hopes up. Then drop him as fast as Shark copies and pastes a guide then claims it as his own.

It's kind kind of thing where your first inclination is to say, "you know what, how about you go out of your way to send ME a picture instead"... and he probably would.... without hesitation >_>

Because when you're dealing with the male internet population, assume 95% of them are horny teenage children. The other 5% choose to _act_ like horny teenage children.

Footy is Australian slang for rugby or a football game.

Just don't make it obvious that you're a girl in your FAQs, instead of writing Rebecca, you could just write R. Skinner so no one would know you're a girl and you wouldn't receive emails like those... I personally don't have this problem, as I don't use my complete name in my FAQs...

The problem is you gals shouldn't have to resort to leaving out your full name in order to prevent this sort of thing.

It's a shame, really, that the majority of guys ruin it for the rest of us who aren't all drooly and wide-eyed at the presence of a woman. It's _not_ hard to control what's in your pants.

I'm not female... But send him a picture of someone UGLY and FAT, they'll never bother you again...
Or you can send the goatse and make him NEVER ever bother you EVER again... (Tubwoman works too, and replace woman with younger word and you get idea...)

Also, just write "PERVERT" under the nasty picture (If you use it) if they don't get the idea.

Now that's going a little too far.... -_-

I get hit on by girls through the internet. It's rather odd. I once had a girl IM me about my FFO guide and... well... I had to block her.

I've had girls hit on me online, too, and even one guy who claimed to be a homosexual hitting on me as well. That was particularly disturbing.

Female (fledgling) FAQ-writer, here. I feel your pain. Haven't yet gotten an email concerning my gender or PICS.NOW., but that's because I make sure I never mention my gender anywhere in the FAQ. That, and my guides don't get that many hits yet. ^^;;

Actually, on second thought, I do have my name in there as Christiana, but several people still think I'm a guy. Or, at least they imply they do, in the emails they send. That's... strange. o_o

You must not have the kind of mind that I do; sending people (who deserve a mental beating) the G-Man has been a beloved pastime of mine.

They're just going by the 95% chance that you aren't a girl.
