Smartass response????

[TNT]

Are you ever in a strange mood and want to give a smartass answer to a response you get from an ad you have out and/or e-mail you get?

We received a response from one of our ads from a married man who was wanting to know if we would like to have dinner with a handsome man while he was in town. We read what he had wrote and Ted said...Write him back and tell him sure, then ask him if he knows one.

Now I will admit that I laughed at this and for a nano second thought about doing just that. But we would never respond to anyone in a smartass way, that would be just mean and wrong. However, there are sometimes you just want to write back and be a total smartass and tell them to get a clue.

Anyone else ever feel or think this way?

DAILY!!!

Honestly, do you know how much trouble I get into because I have a ton of comebacks just screaming to get out.

Unfortunatley if Ted had told me to do it...I probably would have

[funtoplay]

I just have to say

Yes, it most definitely has crossed my mind a time or two, but I generally wait until the other party(s) and I have been chatting, or in correspondance with each other. That way I have a good idea if they will understand my undeniably warped sense of humor

I have given smartass responses...got an email all it said was "interested?" so being funny I wrote back a simple "yup, you?" she wrote back "yup, got yahoo?" it went from there and actually it ended up being a great couple who were alot of fun. I asked her why did she start with such a short email...and i did have to admit it intreaged me is the only reason i even wrote back since usually if you dont put any thought into your email i ignore you...She answered that she was tired of writing out long emails only to get a NO Thanks or rude replies so she thought she would get down to the point and see what happens.

I also have written back pretty smartass ones to those who dont have a clue!! that continue to write and be told no..hubby has too. One couple wrote us ever couple of month so he wrote them...well since you are so persistant this is the 5th email...maybe we will chatt. he went on from there...needless to say they never wrote us again!

I am one that if you are a smartass ...you get it right back or if you annoy me well...
Those that know me well on this site know I can be as onery as anyone around!!

Nope, never. Anybody who takes the time to write to you is really "putting it on the line"...taking a chance that they'll be ignored or outright rejected. As males, we're traditionally the "pursuers," and are conditioned to expect a certain amount of rejection. But it never gets easy, and there are situations like the one you described in which we're especially vulnerable. I'll admit there are times (usually on the vanilla site) when I'm thinking of a smart-ass response, but I never actually do it. I figure that if God's purpose in putting me here was to point out people's shortcomings or to make their lives more miserable, well, I guess he should have left me clearer instructions.

Besides, first impressions are wrong almost as often as they're right. One of the most enduring friendships I ever had began with a fight on a baseball diamond in the 9th grade.

Most of the time, it costs so little to make another person feel so good that I wonder why the idea hasn't caught on in a bigger way.

I don't think we've ever written a smart ass remark to someone we weren't interested in. We love to have some fun during the whole process of getting to know someone.

One of the legends surrounding Abraham Lincoln was that he would often write scathing letters to people and, then, tear them up rather than send them. Not entirely true...

During a prolonged period of inactivity on the part of Gen. George B. McClellan - a notorious trait of the general's - and the Union Army of the Potomac, Lincoln corresponded with the general and asked him to explain why he had not done as he had been instructed.

McClellan wrote back and informed the President that, among other things, his army needed fresh horses.

Lincoln responded back:

"Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?”

Guess you had to be there, eh? (Now, c'mon. What did you really expect from the only card-carrying "vanilla" member of this Board? My responses to personal ads? )

P.S. JnCC, I like your attitude. Don't lose it.

Guilty. I got one letter from a woman that blasted me when I asked her if she'd like to meet me at a certain club with a really hot female DJ that creates some really great dance remixes on the fly. She wrote back that she had to be discreet and if I was serious I wouldn't play all those games and just meet her at a motel so we could fuck. her exact words. I wrote back and told her I'd rather meet at her place so her husband could video tape everything and they'd have something to watch later. Do you know she replied back saying "My husband doesn't want to or have to know I'm still doing this, and I get tired of you so called single swinging men acting like something is wrong because I want to meet you alone." I couldn't resist and said "You'll be alone soon enough. Then I might think about meeting you."

i love smartass comments! i use them because it shows my very goofy side. if someone uses them with me then i know i'm talkin to someone with similar wacky tastes. i think it's a good filtering device.

I like the way you handled this communication between you and the woman playing on the side AKA cheating, Honesty is always in order.

I do not give wise ass remarks to others, it is a negative sign.

I was in a swingers chat room on msn one night when a GUY named footslave opened up my whisper box and told me that he was sucking my toe, and he wanted to know if I was enjoying it??? I wrote back to him--"Wellll yeah--but I have to tell you I just finish walking bare feet through a cow's pasture--and I havent had a chance to wipe my feet yet--I hope you don't mind?"

I never heard from him ever again.

[HotMoCpl]

Sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if it could be considered "smartass". I realized there were a couple of guy hitting for a date to meet that didn't sound right. They were just cheaters that were trolling. I called both of them on it and never heard from them again. A tripple pointer for the home team. After that I changed our profile to read: "...if your SO isn't with you, don't even bother to show up" Since then we haven't heard from them again.

Dito! Although I may be thinking something, I would never want to say it to them. Maybe I am just a good girl, I don't know, but it takes a lot of strain for me to be able to smart off to someone, and afterwards, I ALWAYS regret it!

I went through a time period when I was a young lady in a new school. It was horrible to have to make new friends during that very vulnerable time of my life (I was 16) I was a very popular girl at my old school, had grown up with my old friends. I had been somewhat of a smart-assed mean girl at my old school, and being at the new school- I learned a valuable lesson. It take so much courage to take a chance, when you are shot down, it is heartbreaking! I made a change right there and then, and have lived my life that way ever since.

Karma, Karma, Karma!
