Hidden in that “other” category of personal messages on my Facebook account, I found this note left by a hunky-looking guy named Alex last week:

Hello. I came across your profile, you look stunning and you have lovely smile too, may i get to know you… if you don’t mind.

Creepy, right?

As I deleted this spam, I realized just how old I’m getting. Once upon a time, I would have been equally disgusted, but a little amused, too.

Now I’m just too freakin’ tired for this kind of crap.

  1. I’m just glad most of us are now experienced enough to recognize this stuff for what it is. I remember getting strange emails from women I didn’t know, and being completely confused by them. Now I hit Delete without a second thought.
