I just replied to my first message!   It\'s a \"just friends\" one but, like you, I figured that it\'s good. It was from a Salvadoran guy living in the US...

Andrea - Woo hoo!  Congratuations, and thanks for giving us hope!  

Quick rant:  A guy posted specifically to meet someone \"Intelligent\" (no physical requirements).

I replied and we were emailing just fine, until he asked for my picture.  He suddenly decides that he is interested in \"much younger women, like age 20\" (he\'s 37 and I\'m 35).

Another guy was emailing with me but then just dropped off the face of the earth (2nd thoughts?).

Men suck.

So here\'s the upside.  I was pissed enough to post on their message board that if they didn\'t want to meet women who are overweight they should just say that in their post.

Got a reply from a guy who seems nice.  He didn\'t disappear or turn into a weasel when I sent him my picture, so lets see how this one works out.

I\'ve still got 2 email buddies too, so all things considered, I guess I\'m doing ok at this.
